Description
Pause on the hook and verse. The song is about the frustration that can comes, not from failing, but from not being given the chance to fail. We've all heard "you only get one shot," but some people never even get that shot.
Lyrics
HOOK: You can take all that I have. My mistakes, the pain of my past. I feel like I've been living my life, sitting on the sideline, waiting for the right time to fall into my lap. So I'm gon take, my chance. And I aint lookin back C'mon PUT ME IN THE GAME You know it takes a bit of courage if you askin to stay relaxed when your actions are apt to have you smacked with your ass kicked. We know a man aint defined when it's happenin, but really how he grinds when it's drastic. Keep a steady mind gotta grasp it, move with the rhythm. Danny rippin Hamiltons, put me on the Pistons. I don't need the glisten, I don't really miss it, sh-- if it was written then I'm stickin to the script then. Driftin, out into the sea, undertoe. Cuz the belly of the beast feels warmer than the cold. Twisted my beliefs trying to feel like a rogue. I was laying with the fleas, just to come up with the dogs. Oh, and you already know, a savage type of livin's gotta get it on the roll. That's why I got the Pause, tatted on my arm, so I could stay warm in the eye of the storm. HOOK I've been working hard on my flaws, but you can only spend so long trying to sharpen the saw. We know a boy's gotta fall before he learns how to walk, but I can run now, tell me why I'm still in a crawl. I had a homie who every time he sang it changed me, but had to give it up so he could change his baby. I guess it's my try, win or just die, and there aint nothin you can say to save me. How can you blame me? Runnin like I'm brand new shoes. Every night new lab with a brand new crew. My friends mad calling me a brand new dude, but everybody else is tellin me, "Dan do you." I keep my chin in, ear to ear grinnin, fear I can't hear, only option is winnin. Mind focused I came to play, so with the game on the line give me my time, put me in the game. HOOK (x2)
