Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Joyner)

Juicebox got that juice
Shootin' my shot, shootin' my shot
I'm shooting my shot, I ain't gon' miss
I'm gon' splash, I'm gon' swish
Oh, you wan' 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 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 (yeah)
I believe anything could be achieved when applied (yeah)
Gotta reach for the sky (word)
Wanna do it, but I never had a reason to try (Joyner)
Do you believe in a lie?
Want something so bad it could eat you alive (yeah)
I see the grief in your eyes (yeah)
Pray the opportunities might reach you in time
But I came too far to give up now (up now)
Worked too hard to get stuck now (stuck now)
Every corner I turned I was turned down (turned down)
Had to look at my life like, "What now?" (what now?)
Can't express myself, I shut down (uh-huh)
Ain't no one left, it's just us now (yeah)
Just me and myself and my bustdown
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 wan' 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 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 been thinkin' 'bout this since I was young (since I was young)
And I fell in love and I was sprung (yeah, I was sprung)
I know I miss me when I am gone (yeah, yeah)
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 (yeah)
Might've fell, but I'm doin' it again, yeah (yeah)
Just a jit, I was shootin' at the rim, yeah (swish)
They wasn't there when I was shootin' in the gym, yeah (swish)
You wasn't there when I was hoopin' in the pen, yeah (woah)
New year, but I feel like I been here (yeah)
New year, now I'm cruisin' in the Benz, yeah (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 wan' 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 gon' sit
Shooting my shot, I ain't gon' miss
You ain't never seen no one do it like this
