One Shot

(album: Destiny: The Collection - 2019)

No fear, I'm standing right here
Eyes peer, with my mind clear, never look rear
Only up, never down, off the ground
Till I'm found, hear the sound, listen to me now
As the beat pounds every ounce
Of my effort pouring out, so you never have a doubt
Do you like me now? Am I good enough now?
Should I get more loud, till you hear the fucking sound?
Oh no, I'm losing my shit again
Having a fit again, man, I'm forgetting when
I used to have some friends, I used to play pretend
We all grow up and then, hating my phone and trends
I'm 'bout to blow my head, nobody knows I'm dead
Fear I'm a ghost instead, think that I'm close, I get
Straight comatose in bed, try to go slow with breath
Breathe out my nose and head, heart doesn't go the trend
Faster it goes instead

One shot, that's all you got
Take it right now, before you get lost, yeah
One shot, that's all you got
Write your own story, you control the plot, yeah
One shot, that's all you got
Could drop dead now of a fucking blood clot, yeah
One shot, give it all you got
And never back down, no, I'm never gonna stop, yeah
One shot, that's all you got
Take it right now, before you get lost, yeah
One shot, that's all you got
Write your own story, you control the plot, yeah
One shot, that's all you got
Could drop dead now of a fucking blood clot, yeah
One shot, give it all you got
And never back down, no, I'm never gonna stop, yeah

I know that I'm a little OCD
The people close to me already know that's me
That's how it's supposed to, 'cause nobody's perfect
You need something to work towards that's worth it
You need something that's worth more, you deserve it
Find that thing that you love, then preserve it
If you heading down the wrong path, then reverse it
Put your head down and, dammit, start working
'cause we all need a little bit of hope to help us cope
As we go down this road on our own
Never knowing where it goes, always wonder if we're close
Always wonder if we chose the right fork' in the road, who knows?
You don't, I don't, is everybody stoned? I groan
'cause I'm sick of mediocrity, where's the quality?
Everything's about quantity, ironically
We feed our minds constantly but don't think logically, yeah

One shot, that's all you got
Take it right now, before you get lost, yeah
One shot, that's all you got
Write your own story, you control the plot, yeah
One shot, that's all you got
Could drop dead now of a fucking blood clot, yeah
One shot, give it all you got
And never back down, no, I'm never gonna stop, yeah
One shot, that's all you got
Take it right now, before you get lost, yeah
One shot, that's all you got
Write your own story, you control the plot, yeah
One shot, that's all you got
Could drop dead now of a fucking blood clot, yeah
One shot, give it all you got
And never back down, no, I'm never gonna stop, yeah
