Shoot My Shot lyrics - Joyner Lucas

(from "Space Jam: A New Legacy" soundtrack)

Shooting my shot, I ain't gon' miss

I'm gon' splash, I'm gon' swish

Oh, you wanna stop my water, my drip?

You can try, but you ain't taking me alive

You ain't taking me alive

So gimme my spot, I ain't gon' sit

Shooting my shot, I ain't gon' miss

You ain't never seen no one do it like this

If you say you did then you's a lie

You ain't takin' me alive

I believe I can fly

I believe anything could be achieved when applied

Gotta reach for the sky

Wanna do it but I never had a reason to try

Do you believe in a lie?

Want something so bad it could eat you alive

I see the grief in your eyes

Pray the opportunities might reach you in time

But I came too far to give up now

Worked too hard to get stuck now

Every corner I turned I was turned down

Had to look at my life like what now?

Can't express myself, I shut down

Ain't no one left, it's just us now

Just me and myself and my buss down

Momma couldn't pay rent, but we up now

Shooting my shot, I ain't gon' miss

I'm gon' splash, I'm gon' swish

Oh, you wanna stop my water, my drip?

You can try but you ain't taking me alive

You ain't taking me alive

So gimme my spot, I ain't gon' sit

Shooting my shot, I ain't gon' miss

You ain't never seen no one do it like this

If you say you did then you's a lie

You ain't taking me alive

I been thinking 'bout this since I was young

And I fell in love and I was sprung

I know you gon' miss me when I am gone

Ooh lord, I'ma die a legend like 24

RIP to the 24

When I was cold I was moving with the wind, yeah

Might of fell, but I'm doing it again, yeah

Just a kid I was shooting at the rim, yeah

They wasn't there when I was shooting in the gym, yeah

You wasn't there when I was hooping in the pen, yeah

New year, but I feel like I been here

New year, now I'm cruising in the Benz, yeah

New year, but I feel like I been here

Shooting my shot, I ain't gon' miss

I'm gon' splash, I'm gon' swish

Oh, you wanna stop my water, my drip

You can try, but you ain't taking me alive

You ain't taking me alive

So gimme my spot, I ain't gon' sit

Shooting my shot, I ain't gon' miss

You ain't never seen no one do it like this

If you say you did then you's a lie

You ain't taking me alive

Shooting my shot, I ain't gon' miss

I'm gon' splash, I'm gon' swish

Oh, you wanna stop my water, my drip

You can try, but you ain't taking me alive

You ain't taking me alive

So gimme my spot, I ain't gon' sit

Shooting my shot, I ain't gon' miss

You ain't never seen no one do it like this

If you say you did then you's a lie

You ain't taking me alive
