Chorus
I got Kyle Lowry on my jersey cause I'm for the 6
Yeah
I feel like I'm Freddie better sign the kid
Woah
They wanted a song well lemme write a hit
OG Anunoby if I shoot I ain't trying to miss
Verse 1
I ain't trying to miss it
You can see the writings on the wall like it was hieroglyphics
Everything I make is always net it's like I'm only swishing
Fred VanVleet-ing how I'm driving in my lane I gotta go the distance (go)
We The North stay repping for the east cost, T.O
Showing up even if the degrees go below
Ain't a thing to us like a free throw
Taking shots in interviews I block em like I'm Michaud
Wooh ay
Scotiabank Arena got the seats filled
Charged Up, Back to Back wins, shout out Meek Mill
Steep hill, but we keep on climbing to the peak still
Team ill, cup just runneth over gotta refill

Chorus
Kyle Lowry on my jersey cause I'm for the 6
Yeah
I feel like I'm Freddie better sign the kid
Woah
They wanted a song well lemme write a hit
OG Anunoby if I shoot I ain't trying to miss

Verse 2
We never lost the touch
Boucher, new shades- both block the Suns
Opposition get stomped, no stopping us
We Nick Nurse'd em - put em in a box and won
Where were you when Vince Carter stuck his arm inside the rim?
Where were you when Kawhi Leonard sunk the bucket for the win?
These are life moments I don't think we ever could forget
Win or lose it doesn't matter we still leaving as a fan (yeah)
If we going OT I'm a run the meter (go)
Yeah, pass the ball to OG hit the buzzer beater
OG like the purple jersey yeah you know I been on it
Siakam with the beat I had to put my spin on it
Bossed up had to play my part
Feel like Lowry the way that I been taking charge
Underdogs turned top dogs yeah you know they been through it
2019 champs got a nice ring to it, woah

Chorus
Kyle Lowry on my jersey cause I'm for the 6
Yeah
I feel like I'm Freddie better sign the kid
Woah




They wanted a song well lemme write a hit
OG Anunoby if i shoot I ain't trying to miss
