[00:00.038][Skip Bayless]
[00:00.228]Is he worth it Stephen A. Smith?
[00:03.255]No he's not.
[00:05.093]And I wanna be careful with what I say because I do like and respect Chris Paul.
[00:09.870]He's actually a lot like Cliff Paul off the court
[00:12.249]He's a nice young man I enjoy being around him
[00:15.278]You were with him yesterday
[00:16.598][Stephen A. Smith]Great home trainer
[00:17.370][Skip Bayless]Yes Sir
[00:17.560][Stephen A. Smith]Parents are fabulous
[00:18.658][Skip Bayless]Yes Sir
[00:18.824][Stephen A. Smith]And his brother
[00:20.951][Skip Bayless]But to me, he is not a max salary superstar in this league. Not yet. not after eight NBA seasons and Stephen A., it jars me...
[00:32.999][Verse 1]
[00:33.265]Man, I don't give a damn what another man think
[00:34.991]I'm done chasing pink
[00:36.136]I'm rather wear mink in the summer
[00:38.378]Like that damn boy heating up
[00:39.648]Swear that I'm a bad niggy 'fore the season's up
[00:41.582]I'm re'in up
[00:42.375]Making sure the stock is right
[00:43.806]Nowadays got me thinking like it's Harlem Nights
[00:45.788]With black on black and plaques on plaques
[00:47.438]And stacks on stacks and germo-racks
[00:49.014]Had to hand it to him it was just a dream till I
[00:50.516]I worked for it
[00:51.918]Stopped believing in people that didn't work for it
[00:54.831]And it all came like the kid really meant for it
[00:57.028]God's gift only paying if I sent for it
[00:59.120]Saw they left a tight spot but I went for it
[01:01.032]Now the block's hot every ***** rockin' Ventwood
[01:03.112]They love me when the struggle start stoppin'
[01:05.096]Drive to the bank and a ***** start clockin'
[01:09.076]Yeah, and a ***** start clockin'
[01:14.784]Bang bang
[01:19.207]Yeah a ***** start
[01:21.906][Verse 2]
[01:23.399]What you thought this s**t was handed I couldn't have planned it any better
[01:25.836]Worked seven summers for that foreign leather
[01:27.981]And the Jag with a tag saying go and get it
[01:29.768]I been the king since the hair couldn't fit the fitted
[01:31.771]I'm the alpha and omega translation
[01:34.303]I'm the greatest revelation
[01:35.618]Making statements
[01:36.486]**** your patience
[01:37.331]Y'all been hating
[01:38.053]I been waitin'
[01:38.727]Stacking paper
[01:39.546]Throwing this vacant
[01:40.439]Time for tasting
[01:41.514]Feeling like pockin' a four
[01:42.740]Ain't never happened before so I'm the revolutionary for the canaries with the vet takin' checks from too many b*****s
[01:48.190]Like i'm Mack when i was back in the four
[01:49.782]Push the Jag no tags down Providence Road
[01:51.668]Tryna' make enough money for my mama's bills
[01:53.678]If I really want it I go get it at will
[01:55.889]To my ****** that's real
[01:57.175]Young and chasing a mil
[02:01.689]Young and chasing a mil
[02:04.147][Verse 3]
[02:05.845]Tired of ****** saying I changed
[02:07.718]Tired of ****** saying I ain't ready for the fame
[02:09.793]I don't even sound like Cole
[02:11.415]He don't even sound like Hov'
[02:12.991]Shots all around for my woes
[02:14.426]If you want to run it it's a go
[02:16.093]Gleese in the trunk was a legend in the four
[02:18.156]Heard they live forever like the pot on the stove
[02:20.259]I been cooking out since back when I was down on
[02:21.676]And I'm the real reason that you're not here
[02:24.856]I'm the real reason that you switched gears
[02:26.707]I'm the real reason t hat you ain't drop your album in the summer 'cause you know the young ***** here
[02:30.929]And I'm the real reason that you're not here
[02:32.976]I'm the real reason that you switched gears
[02:35.092]I'm the real reason t hat you ain't drop your album in the summer 'cause you know the young ***** here
[02:39.265]Talk to 'em whoa
[02:41.515]
[02:56.991][Outro: Skip Bayless]
[02:57.443]In eight NBA seasons, as he goes into his ninth
[03:00.587]With pressure mounting
[03:02.122]And now the pressure on Chris Paul will be like never before to produce with the upgraded Clippers roster
[03:09.568]Remember in eight postseasons
[03:11.640]Never passed the second round
[03:14.018]Last two postseasons - Swept by the Spurs - four straight - and then lost four straight last year to Memphis
[03:21.442]This is superstar Chris Paul
[03:24.054]So Stephen A., I look back to how far has he gone?
[03:27.730]He's never passed the second round and even against the Spurs back in '08 remember that?
[03:32.209]Chris Paul .
