One Shot
D.O.J.O. Lyrics

God, give me one shot and I'll break right through
I need an opportunity to prove myself and I'm confident that I can succeed.

I am starting to be brand new
I'm ready for a fresh start and to change my life.

Rome is burning you can taste the embers
The world seems to be on fire and things are chaotic and unpredictable.

I am walking hard on Spanish Stairs
I'm working hard to achieve my goals, even if it's a difficult climb.

My Saint was silence rapping on the door
I've been looking for guidance or hope from someone or something and not finding any answers.

Grown up defiant wanting so much more
I've grown up feeling rebellious and unsatisfied with my life and want more out of it.

Me brand new, say
I'm starting over and reinventing myself.

Give me one shot at my life today
I need one opportunity to change my life for the better.

I don't want to be a stranger
I want to belong and feel connected to the world around me.

Walk with millions, a delicate few
There are many people in the world but only a few that really matter or have an impact on me.

So sad how loneliness just follows you
Loneliness is a constant companion no matter where I go or what I do.

New York City streets and avenues
The city is full of possibilities and opportunities, but it can also be overwhelming and harsh.

Cut the concrete they march through
People are able to overcome obstacles and succeed even in difficult circumstances.

I don't want to be just a passerby
I want to make a difference and have an impact wherever I go.

Stand in line wrapped around the world
There are many people trying to achieve the same goals and I have to work hard to stand out and be noticed.

I don't want to be just a parasite
I don't want to rely on others for my success or take advantage of them.

Holding on tight
I'm determined to succeed and won't let go of my dreams easily.

I got this feeling and it's down in my bones
I have a deep, gut feeling that I can succeed if given the chance.

I got this feeling and it's burning up my soul
My desire to succeed is consuming me and I'm determined to make it a reality.

I got to get just one shot, baby one more day
I need one opportunity to change my life and make my dreams a reality.

Got to give me one shot today
I need that opportunity now, not later.

I got this feeling just give me one day
I'm confident that I can succeed if given one day to prove myself.
