Won't Trade Lyrics
[00:00.36] Welcome to All Sports, All Day
[00:02.75] Today on the program
[00:03.82] Trade talks continue in New York City
[00:06.18] But it doesn't disturb his productivity on the field
[00:09.32] (Now that I know what it is, boy)
[00:11.73] For your epitaph, niggas laugh, chicks steady gas your ass
[00:14.44] Siphoning out your cash, seein' the door, the flash
[00:17.05] While I stay enclosed, walkin' out in my clothes, she said
[00:19.52] (I wouldn't trade it for nothing)
[00:20.95] You motherfuckin' right, wantin' this shit every night
[00:23.19] Finish up, I hold her tight, wearin' feelings on my sleeve
[00:25.63] Even when I had to leave, cooler than the evening breeze
[00:28.06] Do you believe? (Gotta believe!)
[00:29.35] (I wouldn't trade it for nothing)
[00:31.20] The Division One leader, in the rebound with numerous shorties
[00:34.03] Off the post, goin' coast to coast, she on the hardwood
[00:36.86] Sub, I'm out the game, she sayin', "Nah, he good", I mean
[00:39.38] (I wouldn't trade it for nothing)
[00:41.15] For no amount of dough, franchise this man
[00:43.16] Give him all the things you can
[00:44.51] Think long-term plans, he be bringin' in the fans
[00:46.98] Front-page magazine, listen to this lady scream
[00:49.23] (I wouldn't trade it for nothing)
[00:51.01] 'Cause she know what's better for her
[00:52.58] Toppin' in the peckin' order, fluid like the runnin' water
[00:55.06] Nicest nigga? Kinda, sorta
[00:56.42] When he screamin' just the slaughter, no matter the quarter
[00:59.01] I get it (I wouldn't trade it for nothing)
[01:01.15] The club-house king, battin' practice, slug and swing
[01:03.22] Gametime's anything, when I'm in, you're 'bout a minute
[01:05.87] Holdin' the bat, it's good as fact
[01:07.51] She's out the park, and comin' back, she sayin'
[01:09.56] (I wouldn't trade it for nothing)
[01:11.18] Everywhere you sit, you get a good view of the ballplayer and all
[01:13.99] And the famous hall inevitably will make a call
[01:16.67] Hangin' memorabilia from your walls
[01:18.41] This is why you can't trade me
[01:19.53] (I wouldn't trade it for nothing)
[01:21.31] When asked about the trade rumors
[01:23.11] He simply replied that he's just here to produce
[01:26.19] To put forth the best effort for his team
[01:29.41] (Now that I know what it is, boy)
[01:31.26] You can put your money on a sure thing
[01:32.95] Certain profits will they bring
[01:34.25] Ceremonies are the ringer, in the White House thing
[01:36.76] Clear your mantle, the trophies I bring, do you wanna trade?
[01:39.49] (I wouldn't trade it for nothing)
[01:41.12] 'Cause in the end as a teammate
[01:42.52] You're lookin' for a back shoot, and go-to ball
[01:44.53] Leaves it all on the floor, always lookin' to score
[01:46.88] Pep-talks in the locker-room, this is why you sing this tune
[01:49.53] (I wouldn't trade it for nothing)
[01:51.20] And injuries can't make me sit out, I ball 'til you get out
[01:53.83] Hook off, no di-doubt, and all like get out
[01:56.33] I train for the pressure and come out fresher
[01:58.88] Equipped for the game, you know my name, it makes me better
[02:01.47] A cheer, for the whole team, let's go, for the whole thing
[02:03.86] The ballad that you're holding, MVP voting
[02:06.49] And I, represent the sentiment, you're emoting, as you say
[02:09.43] (I wouldn't trade it for nothing)
[02:11.18] The physical ability, with mental capability
[02:13.76] Legitimately places me inside of your vicinity
[02:16.25] And I ain't really seein' me vacatin' this community
[02:18.83] I'm stayin' here (I wouldn't trade it for nothing)
[02:21.16] I'm glad that you feel this way, here's where I like to play
[02:23.84] I need to hear it everyday, they cheer for me, say, "Ole"
[02:26.40] Wait a minute, "Andele"? I dunno, well, anyway
[02:29.36] (I wouldn't trade it for nothing)
[02:31.28] "There was a lot of talk, there was buzz and your name came up in the-
[02:34.41] In the trade rumors ugh, how seriously did you take that?"
[02:38.09] "Uh... uh, not serious at all really"
