VIDEO: Shawn Marion drops a verse alongside T-Pain on 'I'm a Champion'
Shawn Marion is looking to win his second NBA title with the Cleveland Cavaliers this season, and he wants you to know he's already a champion.
In July, a snippet of a new song featuring T-Pain called "I'm A Champion" was released, with Marion shockingly taking part alongside Dorrough and Young Cash. The full version, complete with accompanying basketball highlights, has now been released.
Marion is the first rapper to go in on the track, providing us the following gem of a feature:
Hustle blood, hustle blood
Run all through my body
First I saw the vision
Then I went and got itIf you give up on your dreams
You will never get
Hall of Fame status
Real champs never quitBalling like I'm Jason Terry
Like Dirk Nowitzki I do whatever that's necessary ... To win
Jason Kidd on a fast break
Deep down I truly believe I got what it takesFocus and dedication
Hard work and ambition
Ain't no reason for stopping
Every day is a missionGotta aim for the top
Make sure you aim with precision
Life is all about learning
And making good decisions
You can check out his not-quite-fire verse below:
We'd be willing to pay good money for an NBA version of "Piledriver: The Wrestling Album". Marion, Lou Williams, Stephen Jackson, Metta World Peace, Allen Iverson, Shaq, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Iman Shumpert, Tony Parker and more all have experience on the mic.
That's what Shannon "Slam" Ridley is hoping to accomplish with Full Court Press Volume 1, an album that will bring established artists and NBA players together for tracks.
