(Chorus)

In the game, reminiscing, falling into abyss

How can I miss you? You're just my on my court side

Breaking plays, gotta secure my legacy

I ain't goin' out early, that's not my destiny

Looking through my highlights, drowning in jealousy

How can I miss shots? You're just my scoring spree

Breakin' defenses, gotta craft my legacy

Not fading away young, it's not my destiny

(Verse)

Ballin' for my destiny, striving for a better me

Won't shatter your NBA dreams, but I’ll leave the better of me

Not that I don't respect you, just losing mentally

Scared to open up on the court

Afraid of my own game, don't know if I'll heal

Wishing you weren't real, a rival I can't conceal

I wish the final buzzer ended when I woke up

In the game, my high is my sobriety, no letup

Wishing someone would save us, break the status quo

(Pre-Chorus)

In the echoes of the crowd, my legacy's cheer

How can I miss the shots when victory is near?

Breaking barriers on the court, scripting my destiny

Not folding early, that's not the script for me

(Chorus)

In the arena, reliving the highlights, a hoop symphony

How can I miss you? Just my on-court enemy

Breaking defenses, building my legacy

Not bowing out young, it's not my destiny

Flashing through my crossovers, drowning in rivalry

How can I miss dunks? You're just my slam poetry

Breaking ankles, crafting my legacy

Not fading away early, it's not my destiny
