Rapper Mega Ran created a tribute to Jeremy Lin and the Linsanity he’s create in New York and the NBA. Using the beats from A$AP Rocky’s “Celebration”, the rapper chronicles the the perseverance and struggles Jeremy Lin has had making it to the NBA. The chorus sums up Lin’s experience thus far:

From undrafted to talk of the league
From afterthought to all over TV,
I tell you hard work is the key, but uh
This is what can happen when you dream
I’m Jeremy Lin

lyrics to Jeremy Lin Rap by Mega Ran

From undrafted to talk of the league
From afterthought to all over TV,
I tell you hard work is the key, but uh
This is what can happen when you dream
I’m Jeremy Lin

6 foot 3, with a 4.2
Grade point average, not vertical
Overlooked by every single team,
But never once did he let it hamper his dream,
First in the gym, last one done
Proving Hard work pays off in the long run
killed em in the previous summer
Dropped a career high when the coach finally called his number

Cut off the roster from Golden State
Knew his time was coming, so he chose to wait
Never know when you gonna get up in the game
But he made his moment count in the biggest of ways,
New York City the worlds Greatest stage,
now 20,000 rabid fans scream his name
Wasnt recruited for his ball skills,
Now you gotta wonder how they all feel,
Didnt quit, he only worked harder
went from Harvard graduate to NBA starter
the haters gonna hate and call him lucky
First ivy leaguer in the league since Chris Dudley
Must be some kinda desire
To make everybody who doubted you out to be a liar…
And even if it only lasts a moment,
Jeremy Lin took it and owned it,
You gotta respect it

From undrafted to talk of the league
From afterthought to all over TV,
I tell you hard work is the key, but uh
This is what can happen when you dream
I’m Jeremy Lin
