Sideline

I can't play the sidelines

With all my folk in the stands

Giving up just ain't apart of the plan

I can't play the sidelines

While they still 'chea

Yea I been down but I'm still here

I can't play the sidelines

Yea I can deal with the pain

Cause you ain't winning 'less they hollerin' ya name

I can't play the sidelines

So put me in coach

I swear to God, that's all I got to live for

On my first rep, tryna max out

Lifting burdens, being worried 'til I pass out

Jumping hurdles, running laps just for scraps in this rat race

Lord knows I'm tired, never step, gotta keep pace

Read my playbook, lay my head down

Caught a sprain, ice buckets by my bed now

Felt a impact like a truck hit me full contact

No pads, Lord come get me, I'm down

I can feel it in my soul

This my last chance to shine but they know I'm getting old

Hard to move on, my legs ain't been the same

Since I took a fall from greatness

Now I knowing when it rains on my homecoming

See my folks, smiling

I'm the GOAT, but I really need to hold something

One more dime, I'll be fine, yea I'm the best in my prime

But what about now

I can't play the sidelines

With all my folk in the stands

Giving up just ain't apart of the plan

I can't play the sidelines

While they still 'chea

Yea I been down but I'm still here

I can't play the sidelines

Yea I can deal with the pain

Cause you ain't winning 'less they hollerin' ya name

I can't play the sidelines

So put me in coach

I swear to God, that's all I got to live for

On the second set, got to do this for myself

When the balls in my court, can't depend on no one else

This a long shot, but I trained all my life

Broke some bone, cried some tears just so I could get it right

When it's time, hit the gym trying to win

On the off-season doing what I can, but I'm running out of time

Got a partner going through it

Cause his bills still due and he ain't started since the moment that he signed

Physical training and all

Rehabilitation the cause of shookin' jivin', no hard turf

Ain't no complaining at all when they overturnin' your call

This is life and yes it's hard work

We out here fighting like dogs in every man backyard

Trying to get what was lost reimbursed

Just a big [?] on the wall, give it my all 'til they hang up my shirt

I can't play the sidelines

With all my folk in the stands

Giving up just ain't apart of the plan

I can't play the sidelines

While they still 'chea

Yea I been down but I'm still here

I can't play the sidelines

Yea I can deal with the pain

Cause you ain't winning 'less they hollerin' ya name

I can't play the sidelines

So put me in coach

I swear to God, that's all I got to live for
