One Shot Lyrics by Abstract

Under Lights and Microscopes

2012

[Intro]
You only got one shot
To take your chance and live your dreams
If you're feelin' how I feel, put that above everything
Yeah, yeah, put that above everything
Just to live inside these scenes, we can give up anything

[Verse 1]
Yeah, son, what you really know about that?
Girl give me brain 'til the thoughts abstract
Seat down, I'm high on my last ride
'Cause opposites happen to attract
Yeah, but I've been chillin' on solo
Ridin' a high horse, feelin' like I'm Polo
Chill for the night, baby keep it on the low-low
Never watered down, but [?] how my flow go
'Cause I'm just that dude, say that I changed up my attitude
Nah, I'm just livin' in a world all know
Did it all without the approval of you
Yeah, tell me how that feel
They turn so fake when your life so real
When I get that shot then it's shoot to kill
For now we headin' up and it's never downhill
'Cause we get one shot to make it
Time on the clock is steady racin'
Y'all don't give me mine, I'll take it
One of them kids that don't get replacements
So yeah, son, what you really know about that?
These cards send hearts into cardiac
'Cause that's just the hand I was dealt
And I always did me, give a fuck how you felt
Yeah, now I got a little bit of shine
Turn two-face pennies into rooms full of dimes
Ain't nobody's voice steady flowin' mine
Like your girl givin' good brain, blowin' they minds
They told me that I get one shot (One shot)
So I'm givin' this all that I got

[Bridge]
Get this straight (Yeah)

[Chorus]
You can't, can't count on a second chance (You get one shot, homie)
The second chance will never be found (If you miss that, you gon' regret it)
You can't, can't count on a second try (Yeah, yeah)
The second try will never come 'round
You can't, can't count on a second chance (There's no turnin' back)
The second chance will never be found (Once you take that shot)
You can't, can't count on a second try (You in it for life)
The second try is set to come down (Yeah, yeah)

[Verse 2]
Took a shot, now they callin' me an artist
The same as them, but I'm not workin' the hardest
Said I'd fail, but I'd get it regardless
Waitin' for the deck when my life is goin' cardless
How it hurts to live in the life
Microscopes to livin' in lights
I became that kid, and they all so mad they couldn't do what I did
Don't give a shit if you [weirder than actin'?]
Help with the fire, but your boy still hot
That's the team you not and you all so mad
'Cause you don't say shit, son, I wish you had
Now I'm chillin' with a chick and she oh-so bad
Headed up to the top, oh-so glad
Oh, you ain't me, homie? Oh-so sad
We here forever, this ain't no fad

[Chorus]
You can't, can't count on a second chance (Yeah, yeah)
The second chance will never be found (One shot)
You can't, can't count on a second try (Yeah, yeah)
The second try will never come 'round (We only get one shot)
You can't, can't count on a second chance (Yeah, alright)
The second chance will never be found (One shot)
You can't, can't count on a second try (Yeah, yeah)
The second try is set to come down

[Outro]
You only got one shot
To take your chance and live your dreams
If you're feelin' how I feel, put that above everything
Yeah, yeah, put that above everything
Just to live inside these scenes, we can give up anything
We gon' give up anything
I swear that we gon' give up anything
