The Roots - My Shot lyrics

The Hamilton Mixtape

Woah, woah, woah, woah

Woah, woah, woah



Ayo mugshot, gun shot, dope shot, jump shot

Take your pick, but you only get one shot

Advice from a schoolteacher to a young tot

Applyin' a sticker to his Spiderman lunchbox

When even role models tell us we're born to be felons

We're never gettin' into Harvard or Carnegie Mellon

And we gon' end up either robbin' somebody or killin'

It's not fair that's all they can tell us

That's why I hustle hella hard, never celebrate a holiday

That'll be the day I coulda finally hit the lottery

I refuse to ever lose or throw my shot away

Or chalk it up as just another one that got away

So I'm unapologetic, I'm on my calesthenics

If I have given it all I got I cannot regret it

My point of destination's different from where I was headed

'Cause I'ma shoot for the stars to get it

One shot



I said I'm not throwin' away my shot

I said I'm not throwin' away my shot

Yo I'm just like my country

I'm young, scrappy and hungry

And I'm not throwin' away my shot

I said I'm not throwin' away my shot

No I'm not throwin' away my shot

Yo I'm just like my country

I'm young, scrappy and hungry

And I'm not throwin' away my shot
