Will Smith Claims He’s the Lionel Messi of Hip-Hop in New Freestyle: ‘Goal Scored on These Boys’

Will Smith dropped off some new bars for Lyrical Lemonade, where he claimed to be the rap equivalent of legendary footballer Lionel Messi.
On Monday (March 31), Smith stopped by Lyrical Lemonade’s “Lunch Break Freestyle” as part of the continued roll out for his new album Based on a True Story. During his time on the show, the Oscar winner spit some braggadocious bars claiming that he is hip-hop’s G.O.A.T.
“Hip Hop’s Messi, Neymar and Ronaldo/ Goal, scored on these boys/ I’ve won damn near every award on these boys,” he spit over a thumping trap beat. “Sold-out movie theaters and even tours on these boys/ Feelin’ like a mop, wipe the floor with these boys.”
Earlier in the song, Will also boasted about the adversities he’s pushed through both in his career and in his personal life. “I be overcoming s—t that y’all be having trouble with/ Let ’em run they mouths, I mean really, that’s what come with this,” he rapped during the freestyle’s opening bars. “They built a wall but I’m jumping it and loving it/ They want me to be done with it, but I’m still havin’ fun with it.”
Will Smith dropped his new album Based on a True Story on March 28, and while his upcoming summer tour remains his main focus, he said on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast he might squeeze in another Men in Black movie during that time, too.
“I told myself I was done with sequels. I was like, ‘I’ve made enough sequels. I got some new things I want to make,’” he said. “Literally this morning, an hour before I came down here, they just threw the bag for another Men in Black. I was like, ‘Ah, I’m supposed to be going on tour this summer.’”
Smith said he’d likely shoot the film once he’s done with his European tour, which kicks off on June 25.
