Joyner Lucas Shoot My Shot Lyrics

[Intro]
Are we up?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Joyner)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[?] got that [?]
Shootin' my shot, shootin' my shot

[Chorus]
I'm 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 takin' me alive
You ain't takin' me alive
So give me my spot, I ain't 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

[Verse 1]
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 bustdown
Momma couldn't pay rent, but we up now

[Chorus]
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 takin' me alive
You ain't takin' me alive
So give me my spot, I ain't 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

[Verse 2]
I been thinkin' '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, R.I.P. to the 24
When I was cold, I was moving with the wind, yeah
Might of fell, but I'm doin' it again, yeah
Just a kid, I was shootin' at the rim, yeah
They wasn't there when I was shootin' in the gym, yeah
You wasn't there when I was hoopin' in th pen, yeah
New year, but I feel like I been here
New year, now I'm cruisin' in the Benz, yeah
New year, but I feel like I been here

[Chorus]
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 takin' me alive
You ain't takin' me alive
So give me my spot, I ain't 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
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 takin' me alive
You ain't takin' me alive
So give me my spot, I ain't 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
