One Shot
I blew it last time
Now it’s on me again
She put it on me to win
Can’t handle the pressure
Always choke on the stroke
Man up, change the focus
Open my heart
Open my soul to my goal
My aim, to bring fame
To you and I as one name
Back to the clutch time
Victory on my mind
Concentration solely on penetration
Maneuver with deception
Providing max protection
Equivalent to my heart
The ball travels true
As I shoot for your heart with victorious pursuit
From the rim to the glass, and praying for the net
My one shot goes up…
I close my eyes, hoping I don’t regret
Whether or not my one shot hit the bottom of your heart’s net
