(I wouldn't trade it for nothing) 'Cause in the end as a teammate You're lookin' for a back shoot, and go-to ball Leaves it all on the floor, always lookin' to score Pep-talks in the locker-room, this is why you sing this tune (I wouldn't trade it for nothing) And injuries can't make me sit out, I ball 'til you get out Hook off, no di-doubt, and all like get out I train for the pressure and come out fresher Equipped for the game, you know my name, it makes me better A cheer, for the whole team, let's go, for the whole thing The ballad that you're holding, MVP voting And I, represent the sentiment, you're emoting, as you say (I wouldn't trade it for nothing) The physical ability, with mental capability Legitimately places me inside of your vicinity And I ain't really seein' me vacatin' this community I'm stayin' here (I wouldn't trade it for nothing) I'm glad that you feel this way, here's where I like to play I need to hear it everyday, they cheer for me, say, "Ole" Wait a minute, "Andele"? I dunno, well, anyway (I wouldn't trade it for nothing) "There was a lot of talk, there was buzz and your name came up in the- In the trade rumors ugh, how seriously did you take that?" "Uh... uh, not serious at all really"
