John-Patrick - Want the Ball Lyrics

You gotta be willing to call the shots
If you really do want the ball
With pride you gotta let it all just drop
Or you gone be the one to fall
You gotta give it all you got
If you really do want it all
You gotta give it all you got
If you really do want it all
Why not burn the bridge
I dont want that evil coming over here and
I dont wanna go to the evil
Go to the people im tryna be goals to the people
Tryna be close to the people
Tryna be hope to the people
Tryna show the ropes to the people
Its like im tryna be
Its like im tryna be a boat for the people
Cause i gotta stay afloat for the people
I gotta keep it respectful even through the fallouts
They be fouling me outta bounds that just makes me wanna ball out
The only time i take the ball out
Is if they pass it back I take the last shot
This is probably my last shot I airballed my last shot
You gotta be willing to call the shots
If you really do want the ball
With pride you gotta let it all just drop
Or you gone be the one to fall
You gotta give it all you got
If you really do want it all
You gotta give it all you got
If you really do want it all
What youll find here is just five years
Of just God revealing his purpose
Things will never be perfect
Dont say buy unless you mean purchase
One of my fears is Ill cry tears in front of everyone of these persons
But these kids need to know that they worth it
And they ain't the only ones hurting
Open my ears and now I hear what the word is truthfully sayin'
Really cupid be playin'
It seems he only shoots pain
This is my year im here
And im comin straight out the blocks gunning
Gotta prove it if you want it
We made something outta nothing
I dont do too well with assumptions
Try to keep em out discussions
The reaper gone bring repercussions
My brain ain't in line with my conscience
I dont do the things that im prompted
The devil keep reaching Im stomping
Undebatable you lose that unrelated
I been under the radar they calling me underrate-able
Angel Gabriel Michael Jordan save the bull
Jesus wasn't Rico wasn't Mitch but my sins paid in full
What you making statements for what you faking and flaking for
If your man ain't hustling or getting cake what you caking for
Gas tank on E but dont worry momma didn't raise a fool
Beat em once but twenty I had thirty and I ain't play the fourth
You sleeping on a dude that do not need to be slept on
All these rappers claim they crack
And I agree they all been stepped on
Waking up like steve after going to sleep like stefan
You do whatever your TL say thats why you crept on
You gotta be willing to call the shots
If you really do want the ball
(The reason I ain't sleep yet its some goals that i ain't reach yet)
With pride you gotta let it all just drop
Or you gone be the one to fall
(Positivity booming a headline I ain't read yet)
You gotta give it all you got
If you really do want it all
(All Americans are jerks a statement I must reject)
You gotta give it all you got
If you really do want it all
(When I need to shake and let it go remember breathe stretch)
No I can't lose my breath
I could be step-father step-brother still i won't lose my step
I could be a part of the body won't lose my head
Im holdin on to everything i own not tryna lose myself
Im not tryna break the law Im tryna break protocol
When they try to pin me down I know how to roll the ball
I know how to stay in my lane know how to keep out the gutter
They hating they tasting my bread they can't believe its butter

You gotta be willing to call the shots
If you really do want the ball
With pride you gotta let it all just drop
Or you gone be the one to fall
You gotta give it all you got
If you really do want it all
You gotta give it all you got
If you really do want it all
Why not burn the bridge
I dont want that evil coming over here and
I dont wanna go to the evil
Go to the people im tryna be goals to the people
Tryna be close to the people
Tryna be hope to the people
Tryna show the ropes to the people
Its like im tryna be
Its like im tryna be a boat for the people
Cause i gotta stay afloat for the people
I gotta keep it respectful even through the fallouts
They be fouling me outta bounds that just makes me wanna ball out
The only time i take the ball out

This is probably my last shot I airballed my last shot
You gotta be willing to call the shots
If you really do want the ball

You gotta give it all you got
