Verse 1
All my life i've been striving to be great
But sometimes you so low that people gonna hate
Cuz you ain't as sk**ed as they are
While you sitting all alone wondering why you got cut
And you say that you s**
You ain't ever gonna make it
No matter how much you practice
You feel like you'll never be the fastest
Or receive the status
That you've deserved
Your whole damn life
And when if you make it you think you gonna be a reserve
Like you can't do sh**
Even though you better most people here
You've practiced the technique
And you have stellar physique
But when it's game time you go on a cold streak
Like it's your first time holding a ball
And you don't believe in yourself
You don't think you can beat anyone at all
That's how i felt
But you just need
Hook
Confidence
You have to have the mentality
To be fierce as a tiger
Or as fast a cheetah
Confidence
You have to believe in yourself
To be as strong as a boulder
And as smooth as silk
Verse 2
Everyday before a game
I shot it like a maniac
I felt like i could be in the hall of fame
My moves were like art and i was
Like a modern day pica**o
Had so much energy
I felt it in me
I knew i could do it
I knew i would make it
But when the game started
I knew i would freeze
And i was being guarded
My whole body just hardened
And i couldn't even dribble
I felt exactly the opposite
That i did before
And i just thought why does this happen
This always happens
I just stopped believing in myself
I couldn't even defend
While everyone gained success
I just sat there depressed
And i thought about giving up
Just move on and realize this wasn't my sport
But suddenly i realized
That i couldn't give up
And that i had all the pieces
But i just needed some
Hook
Outro:
Am i gonna make it
Who knows
But i know
I tried my best
I may not be better than the rest
But that doesn't mean i won't make it
Cuz i know i had a fierce spirit
And a mentality that couldn't be stopped
Cuz i had confidence
