Testo My Shot - VoicePlay

Testo della canzone My Shot (VoicePlay), tratta dall'album My Shot - Single

I am not throwing away my shot

I am not throwing away my shot

Hey yo, I'm just like my country

I'm young, scrappy and hungry

And I'm not throwing away my shot

I'ma get a scholarship to King's College

I probably shouldn't brag, but dang, I amaze and astonish

The problem is I got a lot of brains but no polish

I gotta holler just to be heard, with every word, I drop knowledge

Every burden, every disadvantage, I have learned to manage

I don't have a gun to brandish, I walk these streets famished

The plan is to fan this spark into a flame

But damn, it's getting dark, so let me holler my name

I am the A-L-E-X-A-N-D-E-R

We are meant to be

A colony that runs independently

Meanwhile, Britain keeps ripping on us endlessly

And I am not throwing away my shot

I am not throwing away my shot

Hey yo, I'm just like my country

I'm young, scrappy and hungry

And I'm not throwing away my shot

It's time to take a shot

I dream of life without a monarchy

The unrest in France will lead to anarchy

Anarchy, how you say? How you say? Anarchy

And when I fire, I make the other side panicky

Geniuses, lower your voices

You keep out of trouble and you double your choices

I'm with you, but the situation is fraught

You gotta be carefully taught

If you talk, you're gonna get shot

And I am not throwing away my shot

I am not throwing away my shot

Hey yo, I'm just like my country

I'm young, scrappy and hungry

And I'm not throwing away my shot

Come on, rise up

When you're living on your knees, you rise up

Tell your brother that he's gotta rise up

Tell your sister that she's gotta rise up

When are these colonies gonna rise up? Rise up

When are these colonies gonna rise up? Rise up

When are these colonies gonna rise up? Rise up

When are these colonies gonna rise up? Rise up

I imagine death so much, it feels more like a memory

When's it gonna get me? In my sleep? Seven feet ahead of me?

If I see it coming, do I run or do I let it be?

Is it like a beat without a melody?

I'm past patiently waiting, I'm passionately smashing

Every expectation, every action's an act of creation

I'm laughing in the face of casualties and sorrow

For the first time, I'm thinking past tomorrow

And I am not throwing away my shot

I am not throwing away my shot

Hey yo, I'm just like my country

I'm young, scrappy and hungry

And I'm not throwing away my shot

And I am not throwing away my shot

I am not throwing away my shot

Rise up, rise up

Oh, it's time to take a shot

Rise up, rise up

Take a shot

And I am not throwing away my

I am not throwing away my

I am not throwing away my shot
