They said I’m perfect, it’s anxiety that’s killing me
I stop and pray
CM7 D

Em G
They got the order wrong, was trippin’ on ‘em
I forgot to show ‘em grace
CM7 D
Is there enough to allocate?
Em G
So I drove to Crumbl, caught some cookies, put six in a tray
CM7 D
They said, “I play your music every day”
Em G
Then it hit me that this carry weight
CM7 D
So anyways, went right back to Chick-fil-A
Em G
Asked for the manager, he came to me, smiled in my fac?
CM7 D

[Verse 2]
CM7 D
Just got to school at 7:38
Em G
Look at the locker, I don't see my name
CM7 D
I look again, maybe just in case
Em G
Went to the coach and asked him, “Aye, what happened full of hate”
CM7 D
Full of confliction when I seen his face
Em G
There Go the man that took my dream away
CM7 D
Couple hours later in the day
Em G
I tried to focus on the class, but could not escape
CM7
Turned to my left, saw the assistant coach and told him
D
“Hey, why didn't I make the team?”
Em G
He then went on to explain:
CM7
“You had support from the head coach
D
But we ain't choose the same
So shift the blame”
Em G
It hit me and I felt the weight
CM7 D
Anyways, I just got a text from ‘Crae
Em G
Said I need counseling to dig up why I feel this pain
CM7 D
I keep assuming everyone around me feel a way
Em G
I guess I'm scared to get cut, just like eleventh grade
CM7 D
My dad called me the other day
Em G
Told me he went back to the gym where I couldn't play
CM7 D
Coach said, “Congratulations, your son has truly made it”

Then it hit me that they watchin' every shot I take
