Got girls that I shoulda made wait for it
Got girls that’ll cancel a flight back home
Stay another day for it”

“For all the marbles, I’m colder than ‘2’ from Villanova.”

As one of the NBA’s best players currently in the league, Dame Lillard AKA Dame D.O.L.L.A. can do it all. He compares himself to Villanova’s Kris Jenkins, who hit the game winner to win it for Villanova in the 2016 NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Championship Game. That’s a pretty cold dude.

“If ‘Pac ain’t on your list then you ain’t fuckin’ logical
I’m talkin’ up the shit, not no fuckin’ 5 or 4”

The once respectable Billboard magazine lost all of its hip hop credibility last year when they left off 2Pac from their best rappers of all time list.
