Virtually unknown before this track, Post Malone took the Internet by storm with “White Iverson,” a song filled with basketball metaphors.
In an interview with XXL, Malone said the track’s success was unexpected:
When I wrote it, I didn’t know that people [were] gonna fuck with it as much as I did...
[Intro]
Double OT
I'm a new three
[Chorus]
Saucin', saucin', I'm saucin' on you
I'm swaggin', I'm swaggin', I'm swaggin', oh-ooh (Swaggin')
I'm ballin', I'm ballin', Iverson on you (Swish, ooh, ayy)
Watch out, watch out, watch out, yeah
That's my shot, that's my shot, that's my shot, yeah
Spendin', I'm spendin' all my fuckin' pay
[Verse 1]
I got me some braids and I got me some hoes
Started rockin' the sleeve, I can't ball with no Joes
You know how I do it, Concords on my toes
(This shit is hard) Oh
I ain't rich yet, but you know I ain't broke, ah
So if I see it, I like it, buy that from the store, ah (Store, ah)
I'm with some white girls and they love them the coca (Coca)
Like they OT
Double OT like I'm KD, smokin' OG (Smokin' OG)
And you know me, in my 2-3s and my gold teeth (And my gold teeth)
Bitch, I'm smiling, bet you see me from the nosebleeds (Nosebleeds)
I'm the new three and I change out to my new 3s (To my new 3s)
[Pre-Chorus]
White Iverson
When I started ballin', I was young
You gon' think about me when I'm gone
I need that money like the ring I never won, I won
[Chorus]
Saucin', saucin', I'm saucin' on you
I'm swaggin', I'm swaggin', I'm swaggin', oh-ooh
I'm ballin', I'm ballin', Iverson on you
Watch out, watch out, watch out, yeah
That's my shot, that's my shot, that's my shot, yeah
Spendin', I'm spendin' all my fuckin' pay
[Verse 2]
Ooh, Stoney
Cigarettes and a headband
Commas, commas in my head, man
Slumped over like a dead man
Red and black, 'bout my bread, man
I'm the answer, never question
Lace up, learn a lesson
Bitch, I'm saucin' (Wow), I do this often, don't do no talkin' (No)
My options right when I walk in, jump all them Jordans (Ooh)
I'm ballin', money jumpin'
Like I'm Davis from New Orleans
Or bitch, I'm Harden, I don't miss nothin'
Fuck practice, this shit just happens, know y'all can't stand it (Ayy)
I have it, I never pass it, I work my magic
High average, ball on these bastards, it makes me happy
It's tragic, I make it happen, and all y'all Shaqtin'
[Pre-Chorus]
White Iverson
When I started ballin', I was young
You gon' think about me when I'm gone
I need that money like the ring I never won, I won
[Chorus]
Saucin', saucin', I'm saucin' on you
I'm swaggin', I'm swaggin', I'm swaggin', oh-ooh
I'm ballin', I'm ballin', Iverson on you
Watch out, watch out, watch out, yeah
That's my shot, that's my shot, that's my shot, yeah
Spendin', I'm spendin' all my fuckin' pay
[Outro]
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
White Iverson was written by Dre London & Rex Kudo & Cashio & FKi 1st & Post Malone.
White Iverson was produced by Post Malone.
Post Malone released White Iverson on Wed Feb 04 2015.
“White Iverson” is Post Malone’s breakout basketball anthem. It’s about his dreams to be livin' as large as an NBA superstar, ballin' on his haters, and showing the world that he can live by his own rules.
Post Malone’s autotuned sing-rap style is akin to songs like Fetty Wap’s “Trap Queen,” “Travi$ Scott’s “Antidote,” with influences like T-Pain’s “Buy U a Drank.”
The production speaks to a Trap-House inclination along the lines of Future’s “I Serve the Base,” while sustaining the laid back, minimal...
White Iverson is a reference to NBA basketball player Allen Iverson. Post Malone is comparing himself to the athlete, as he claims to be ballin' on the ladies and his haters.
I go back and watch A.I.’s old games with the Sixers, the highlights and all that good stuff. He was the coolest. He was number one, has always been my favorite. He is really inspiring.

Post Malone has yet to make a comment about who is his personal favourite ball player, but he said the following:
I think A.I. is better than Jordan. I love Jordan, don’t get me wrong.
Post explained in a video with Ethan Klein of h3h3 productions that he borrowed one of his friends' cars. The friend claims that Rolls Royce actually called him and asked why he would treat his car like that.
On December 4, 2017, “White Iverson” was certified 5x Multi-Platinum by the RIAA.
“White Iverson” peaked at #14 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the chart week of January 23, 2016. It spent 30 weeks on the chart before departing.
