[Intro]
It's N0va
It's a dog eat dog world out here
We Just do it for uh
We just do it for a Shot to Shine
We just do it for uh
We just fighting for our spot in line
[Verse 1: N0va]
Been feeling like superman but couldn't lift a pound
Been feeling like Usain Bolt but couldn't grip the ground
A globetrotter thats been around but couldn't flip the sound
An olympic swimmer that just sinks and drowns
MJ for the dunk, but I can't get no air
Like a vatican pope but I can't say no prayers
Like a millionaire but I can't pay no fairs
Been at odds with myself, the pain comes in pairs
Been like the sherrif but the sherrif got shot
Barry bonds at bat but I keep getting walked
Feeling like a twitter star but the photo got cropped
Feeling like I'm Jimi Hendrix but his solo got stopped
Like a safecracker with his mind on the locks
Like a body double where his act gets swapped
For a chance to rock the stage
But his name gets lost in the mix -
Hes just a prop but he did it for the Shot to Shine!
[Hook]
We Just do it for uh
We just do it for a Shot to Shine
We just do it for uh
We just fighting for our spot in line
We just do it for our shot to shine
We just do it for a Shot!
We all just fighting for our spot in line
We all fighting for our Shot!
[Verse 2: N0va]
I wish there was 10 thousand hours a day
So each time that I blink – the sun ain't setting away
Waking up early after nights where I'm staying up late
Sacrificing Sleep so I can be free to create
Its like all the pa**ion was gone for a while
But I came back harder - real rap ain't pop in a while
10 thousand hours of practice – rocking a style
That can resurrect biggy and pac – I got GOD on the dial
Asking for motivation like God! I'm tired of waiting!
How the greats do it? Distractions is frustrating
When I find my vision I can leave my mark
And when a homie in a booth its like I see through dark
I can feel it start
Hey yo Practice makes perfect
Days go fast and its certain
Im pounding back all my bourbon
In a hyperbolic chamber
Im actively working
With tactics and purpose
Freeze the time Im cracking the surface!
[Hook]
We Just do it for uh
We just do it for a Shot to Shine
We just do it for uh
We All fighting for our spot in line
We just do it for our shot to shine
We just do it for a Shot!
We all just fighting for our spot in line
We all fighting for our Shot!
