Cornbread

[Instrumental intro]

Cornbread!
Cornbread!

[Verse 1]
In the heat of the night, hear the bump on the ball
On the floor of the court, on the sides of the hall;
He's Cornbread (Cornbread!)
He’s Cornbread (Cornbread!)

He's a man made of steel; wish no sucka to buy
Was a giant in his field, not a trick for one eye; he's Cornbread (Cornbread!)
He’s Cornbread (Cornbread!)

[Refrain]
He's a Man with a Plan
He's got a basketball in his hand
But he's Cornbread (Cornbread!)
But he's Cornbread (Cornbread!)
He's a Man with a Plan
He's got the whole world in his hand
But he's Cornbread (Cornbread!)
But he’s Cornbread (Cornbread!)

[Verse 2]
He is going to school; not looking to fight
Not a neighborhood fool, got no gun or a knife; he’s Cornbread (Cornbread!)
He's Cornbread (Cornbread!)

He’s a dream to his moms; he's a man to his pop
He's an idol to kids, and he loves soda pop; he's Cornbread (Cornbread!)
He’s Cornbread (Cornbread!)

To the kids on the block, to his friends and his foes
He's not timid or shy, and you know that he knows, he's Cornbread (Cornbread!)
He's Cornbread (Cornbread!)

Like the mix in a bowl, like the yeast in a roll
He's alive; he ain't dead, he's the soul to the bread, he's Cornbread (Cornbread!)
He's Cornbread (Cornbread!)

Life is so precious; do the best that you can
Keep your hands on the ball, hit open the man, he's Cornbread (Cornbread!)
He's Cornbread (Cornbread!)
