Put Me In Coach

[Intro]
Put me in the game, coach
Put me in the game

[Chorus]
Put me in the game, coach, put me in the game
Put me in the game, coach, put me in the game
Put me in the game, coach, please, please
Put me in the game, coach, please
Put me in the game, coach, put me in the game
Put me in the game, coach, put me in the game
Put me in the game, coach, please, please
Put me in the game, coach, please
Put me in the game, coach

[Verse 1]
I heard that coach won't put you in the game unless he trust you
And if he don't think you ready to touch that court then he won't rush you
You'll ride that bench if it's not your time
I'm tryna get in that game though, 'cause I'm ready to shine
Meanwhile he tryna climb, he tryna climb
He tryna grow, he tryna win
And he don't want me to embarrass him
Yo, been sayin' "Put me in the game, coach," for a couple years now
Not scared of the big lights, conquered all my fears now
Lost a couple close ones, shared a couple tears now
I'm ready to ball out, hear a couple cheers now
But I learned some things sitting on that bench
Like it's more about the team and not just my accomplishments
And we can do much more together than I can pull of just with me
And I better make sure I'm in shape, you need endurance in this league
Most of all, the game is won or lost inside of your brain
Coach, I'm ready to throw them threes up and make it rain, look

[Chorus]
Put me in the game, coach, put me in the game
Put me in the game, coach, yeah
Put me in the game, coach, put me in the game
Put me in the game, coach, put me in the game
Put me in the game, coach, put me in the game
Put me in the game, coach, please, please
Put me in the game, coach, please, please
Put me in the game, coach, put me in the game

[Verse 2]
I ain't always have the juice but coach told me, "It's in you"
I'm just tryna contribute so the winning could continue
Been running suicides, been practicing so hard
Been working on my defense, don't mind taking a charge
For the team, this is our dream
Some be on the playground, some be in the league
Some be overseas, waiting on that call, nah
We ain't tryna cheat, we just tryna ball out
Yeah, my coach a legend and it's so hard to impress him
But if I just play my role he say I'm gon' receive my blessing
He tell me just be patient and trust him not to sweat him
So I set back and let him lead, I'm soaking up the lessons, coach
Yeah, oh, hold up, it's lit, wait
He looking down the bench, uh-oh, I think I'm going in (Okay)
He call my name (Augustine), oh yeah, it's really on
He said, "Now make me proud, this is why you were born"

[Chorus]
Put me in the game, coach, put me in the game
Put me in the game, coach, put me in the game
Put me in the game, coach, please, please
Put me in the game, coach, please
Put me in the game, coach, put me in the game
Put me in the game, coach, put me in the game
Put me in the game, coach, please, please
Put me in the game, coach, please, please
Put me in the game, coach, please, please
Put me in the game, coach, please, please
Put me in the game, coach, coach
Put me in the game, coach, please, please
