Lyrics
Intro
Hard-hitting drum loop begins, a high-energy vocal ad-lib, "Yeah... we're here now!"
Verse 1
Hard-hitting, complex hip-hop beat with a relentless, percussive rhythm
Sixteen years old now, we're not a rookie squad
Last year we made Sectionals, now we pray to God
'Cause we goin' to State, yeah, for sure, no debate
Got a brand new beast on the court, sealed our fate
Otis nearly seven feet, yeah, he's a true beast
Got a kid from Lithuania, Dovydas from the East
Got the size, got the speed, yeah, we got it all
We ain't just here to play, we're here to stand tall
Chorus
Vocals get even faster, more percussive, almost a chant
Got the city accolades and the state awards, yeah
My name's on the paper, no time for no fears
College recruits on the phone, every single day
Tellin' me to sign, comin' to my games, what they say
Verse 2
Flow continues with a similar percussive rhythm
I'm the one with the vision, the leader of the pack
Got Otis down low, ain't no gettin' the ball back
Dovydas on the perimeter, with a jump shot that's so clean
The best three-man game that you ever have seen
They try to press me, but I'm too quick with the rock
I see the whole court, yeah, I'm watchin' the clock
Every single play, yeah, it all goes through my hands
I'm makin' all the moves, followin' the game plan
Bridge
Beat drops slightly, becomes more melodic and reflective
Some people play for the fame and the flashin' lights
But I play for the love, from the early mornings to the late nights
I'm doin' this for my dad, who showed me how to win
My journey on the court is just about to begin
I'm not gonna stop, yeah, I'm just getting started, see?
This is more than a game, this is a part of me
Chorus
Vocals get even faster, more percussive, almost a chant
Got the city accolades and the state awards, yeah
My name's on the paper, no time for no fears
College recruits on the phone, every single day
Tellin' me to sign, comin' to my games, what they say
Outro
Beat continues to build momentum, with vocal ad-libs
Yeah! State Bound, baby! You know we got this!
The sound of a basketball swishing, followed by a buzzer and a crowd roaring, then a final, triumphant musical note
