Can’t ever know what it’s like to fail.
Took a deep breath and I never exhaled.
So much pressure to succeed, indeed I know I have a little sister looking up to me.
Now the time has come and I question myself,
Will I prevail or fail like everyone else.
5 seconds on the clock and there's nobody I can pass to but myself.
Clock’s runnin down 2 seconds left,
I look to my right and I look to my left.
I took the shoot and hear the buzzer ring.
Can only hear the crowd sing.
I finally exhaled, I know that I prevailed
Failure can stay where it’s at
I got his front and success has my back.
