Shawn Marion spits a verse in a song featuring T-Pain entitled 'I'm a champion'
As the immortal rapper Rick Ross once said, "rappers wanna be ballers, ballers wanna be rappers."
It's a fitting moniker for free-agent forward Shawn Marion, as he collaborated with artist T-Pain on a song entitled "I'm a champion," of which you can sample the track here (lyrics NSFW). Or, if you don't have headphones handy, here's a few select bars:

Life is all about learning and making good decisions
The lyrics aren't great, and quite frankly, they read like a Dallas Mavericks broadcast from 2011, but as Marion notes, "life is all about learning and making good decisions."
Marion joins fellow NBA players Iman Shumpert, Charlie Villanueva, Stephen Jackson and Lou Williams (irony noted) on an upcoming album entitled Full Court Press, Vol. 1, which features Marion's track. The proceeds of the album will be donated to charity.
