[Intro: Brent Gregory]
Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the first game of the season. We await the players and there they are! And leading the team out of the tunnel is the new star player - Samuel, wearing jersey number one to signify he's the star. First game of the year, everybody will be watching him. Let’s see how he performs. Here we go!
[Verse 1: Sam-1]
25 years old, how much time is left?
Think I sit my ass off? I do more than that
We want sound to have more than that modern rap
Excellence is extra work, tryna find time for that
When I let my mask off? Future is yet to come
Though we already started the run
That's me - the One, and Zan and Swan (squad)
We came in as rookies, but the road has only just begun
We not here for the cruising, but for becoming a top gun (let's go)
I need you to believe in me, the strength it will be giving me
Love, peace and positivity, my latest directivity
How much of credibility? All this anger I am dealing with
You may already be feeling it, I stay with my opinion still
I want my speech to tell it you, and stuck it in them heads of you
There I’m slowly heading to, be walking down that avenue
Your love, support is revenue, I really want to get it too
We do our best to make it good with facility available
I know that we can make it through and reach them higher levels too
Wisdom I am sharing to papers, we gon' let it through
We the team without doubts (tau-tau) and we will push for touchdown (tau-tau)
Hope I will be heard, how much time it takes though, huh?
[Pre-Chorus: Sam-1]
Feels like half of century but a quarter lacks
Think I sit my ass off? I do more than that
75 cents made me hustle, I give you quarter back
I'ma key to my success, call me quarterback
I won't let a chance slip, I'ma quarterback
Won't be handing that ball, I'ma quarterback
I will run till I collapse, I'ma quarterback
Touchdown or die, bitch, I’ma quarterback
[Chorus: Sam-1]
I’ma quarterback, I'ma, I’ma quarterback
I'ma quarterback, call me, call me quarterback
I'ma quarterback, I'ma, I’ma quarterback
I'ma quarterback, call me, call me quarterback
I'ma quarterback, I'ma, I'ma quarterback
I'ma quarterback, call me, call me quarterback
I'ma quarterback, I'ma, I'ma quarterback
Touchdown or die, bitch, I'ma quarterback
[Verse 2: Sam-1]
Think I sit my ass off? I do more than that
This ain't a fucking song, that's a motherfucking PSA (yeah)
Y'all are fucking pros in talking trash behind my back (yeah)
Curry favor with superiors, you don't know another way (ayy)
My life is my game, my body - my station and I play it like I want it
All the money that I'm earning, bitch, I spend it like I want it
My free time, my weekend, bitch, I spend it like I want it
I can be dancing, I can be working, I can be playing, I can be learning
I ain't a motherfucking slave, I ain't gotta work all day
Stay away out of my business and please keep doing your thang
If you do have some complaints, come and say it in my face
If you think you do me bad, I will see much better days
Like when I brought the whole candy shop to the girl's desktop
Meaning “I wanna *boop* you”, the whole camp laughed
Tried to take her on a date, later got a bit backstabbed
Recovered and got the Saudi money and yes, I'm fucking proud of it (oh-woah)
If that's you call a loss, please, can I have some more?
And you know you keep losing, you see none beyond the pussy
If you don't agree with me you can suck me up from head to toes
After I run a long marathon in snickers with the fur, yah (ooooh damn)
[Pre-Chorus: Sam-1]
Feels like half of century but a quarter lacks
Think I sit my ass off? I do more than that
75 cents made me hustle, I give you quarter back
I'ma key to my success, call me quarterback
I won't let a chance slip, I'ma quarterback
Won't be handing that ball, I'ma quarterback
I will run till I collapse, I'ma quarterback
Touchdown or die, bitch, I'ma quarterback
[Chorus: Sam-1]
I'ma quarterback, I'ma, I'ma quarterback
I'ma quarterback, call me, call me quarterback
I'ma quarterback, I'ma, I'ma quarterback
I'ma quarterback, call me, call me quarterback
I'ma quarterback, I'ma, I'ma quarterback
I'ma quarterback, call me, call me quarterback
I'ma quarterback, I'ma, I'ma quarterback
Touchdown or die, bitch, I'ma quarterback
[Post-Chorus: Sam-1]
I'ma, I'ma, I'ma, I'ma quarterback
I'ma, I'ma, I'ma, I'ma quarterback
I'ma, I'ma, I'ma, I'ma quarterback
Touchdown or die, bitch, I'ma quarterback
[Bridge: Sam-1]
I still tryna find myself in this eternal place
And I will one day spread the gained intelligence
And I've been waiting for this moment for too long
And I will not miss anticipated chance to blow
[Verse 3: Sam-1]
While I was in the crowd watching other rappers' show
All emotions roller coasting have just caused my pen explode
All I want is y'all be told all of hidden thoughts
We make every effort to welcome y'all into my world
Ever since I've been waiting in the queue like school boy (yawk)
Wanted verses be rock (rock) solid with a shard of soul (soul)
Placing dots in the right spots (ya bish) - that was kinda goal
Mastering with every piece that is stored in my vault
If I wanna go far along, should I become cold? (prr)
Think I got lots of ambitions, ain't gotta let ‘em blur my vision
I'm not playing by your rules, I define the new ones
A track may become a hit, that is a home run (oh man)
If I ever take an L, I take it as a lesson
And then I bounce back, it ain't nuttin' but progression
Hope you stay friendly while I plotting my route
So much great I wanna make with DNA that I got, I got, I got
[Chorus: Sam-1]
Feels like half of century but a quarter lacks
Think I sit my ass off? I do more than that
75 cents made me hustle, I give you quarter back
I'ma key to my success, call me quarterback
I won't let a chance slip, I'ma quarterback
Won't be handing that ball, I'ma quarterback
I will run till I collapse, I'ma quarterback
Touchdown or die, bitch, I'ma quarterback
[Hook: Sam-1]
I'ma quarterback, I'ma, I'ma quarterback
I'ma quarterback, call me, call me quarterback
I'ma quarterback, I'ma, I'ma quarterback
I'ma quarterback, call me, call me quarterback
I'ma quarterback, I'ma, I'ma quarterback
I'ma quarterback, call me, call me quarterback
I'ma quarterback, I'ma, I'ma quarterback
Touchdown or die, bitch, I'ma quarterback
[Outro: Brent Gregory]
