All my life I had to fight A reference from a movie But when you win the fight the loser always tries to shoot me Momma taught me to do right No need for a gunshot To get away from the cold streets I developed a jumpshot But the thing is this road traveled greatly Taught myself how to shoot but without dribbling I traveled greatly No indoor courts forced to practice in the cold In another neighborhood my actions rather bold All that practicing in the rain made my skills so good Until they rolled up with intentions that were no good They asked me who I was and why I was on their block I tried to ignore but out their coat it was a glock Here I am in mid jumpshot The next thing I heard was one gunshot I'm hit, shot in the back on the leg Thinking I was dead Thanking god for not being shot in the head They thought I was dead too so they up and left And I'm laying trying to breathe panicing and ******* breath How was I suppose to ball with a hole in my leg All I could think about was the day before How coach told me I would start and how he wanted me to score But a bullet wound forced me to sit out Didn't want to play professional just wanted to get out
