Two things are true about Lonzo Ball. He drops dimes and he drops bars.
Lonzo Ball’s song ‘ZO2’ is for Big Ballers only
What you rockin’?
There are already a handful of NBA players that spit fire. Damian Lillard, Andre Drummond and Iman Shumpert to name a few, but now that Lonzo Ball is in the league, we have enough players to ask for a dope ass cypher.
We already know about Ball’s music opinions when he hilariously said “Don’t nobody listen to Nas no more.”
I’m going to listen to Lonzo Ball’s song ‘ZO2’ and grade his lyricism thanks to the good friends at Genius.com.
[Intro]
Triple B’s man
People scared of change
We not
Zo
BIG BALLER BRAND OR GET LOST BECAUSE BIG BALLER BRAND IS OUT TO CHANGE THE GAME. DO YOU HEAR THIS BEAT?! THIS AIN’T NO ORDINARY BEAT! THIS IS A BIG BALLER BEAT.
[Chorus]
What you rockin’? ZO2s
I’m blowin’ past in ZO2s
You know I got it, ZO2
Pay respect and pay your dues
Switching lanes, ZO2 (skrrt)
I changed the game, ZO2
They know my name, ZO2
Pay respect and pay your dues
This hook is catchy and I like how he rhymes ZO2 with ZO2. These are Big Baller Bars!
Shout out to beast because I keep me a lot on me
Shout to to everyone doubting me
Changing the game and they mad ‘cause I’m charging fees
Know the name and see the fame
In this verse, Lonzo makes references to Nike, Adidas and Under Armour. All good brands... but are they Big Baller Brands?
The haters are just mad that they don’t have a signature shoe like Lonzo does. It’s called Big Baller Brand, not Broke Baller Brand.
What you rockin’? ZO2s
I’m blowin’ past in ZO2s
You know I got it, ZO2
Pay respect and pay your dues
Switching lanes, ZO2 (skrrt)
I changed the game, ZO2
They know my name, ZO2
Pay respect and pay your dues
JUST IN CASE YOU FORGOT WHAT YOU WAS ROCKIN’
Pass me the ball and I’ll shoot it
I hop on the beat just to geek and go stupid
Don’t talk if you clueless
Just stay in yo lane ‘cause my people is movin’
With them Bs, issa movement
And I dropped out of school ‘cause I’m smarter than student
I’m taking that case, I don’t care if I lose it
Brodie on beats, and it’s sounding so fluent
LONZO WASN’T GOING TO KEEP BALLING FOR FREE AT UCLA. IT’S NOT BRUIN BALLER BRAND.
Y’all can deal with biology. Lonzo has more important things to deal with like getting the Lakers to the playoffs.
REMIND THEM WHAT YOU ROCKIN’ THOUGH.
What you rockin’? ZO2s
I’m blowin’ past in ZO2s
You know I got it, ZO2
Pay respect and pay your dues
Switching lanes, ZO2 (skrrt)
I changed the game, ZO2
They know my name, ZO2
Pay respect and pay your dues
In closing:
Lyrics - Not the best, but definitely not even close to the worst lyrics I’ve heard this year. He should quit basketball and change his name to Lonzo Bars, to be honest.
Beat: Beat is fire.
Overall: Not a bad song I’ll give it a BBB/10
