One Shot
Struggle Jennings Lyrics

One shot
This is my one chance to succeed

Aim it well
I need to make sure I hit my target perfectly

My people on the sidelines yelling give em hell
My supporters are cheering me on and urging me to give it my all

Bumpy ride
The road ahead won't be easy

We buckled up
But we're prepared for any obstacles we may face

Think I'm gonna quit now you got me fucked up
I won't give up, no matter what

They ask me how I feel about comin home spent
People wonder how I cope with the toll this struggle has taken on me

My whole life on the ledge edge of my comfort zone
I've always been pushing myself to the limit and taking risks

People been patiently waiting on the struggle song
My fans have been eagerly anticipating my next message of resilience

Feds close on my bumper hoping I do something wrong
Law enforcement is closely monitoring me in hopes of catching me making a mistake

Get to em manditory life in the pin life of
If they catch me, my punishment will be a lifetime in prison

Crime a sin thinkin bout what I might've been
I regret the actions that led me down this path

Takin off my throne trown into a lions den now
I've been taken down from my position of power and thrown into a dangerous situation

I'm staring down the barrel lord it's like a fire pin
I'm facing a life-threatening situation and it feels like I'm staring down the barrel of a gun

Goes on my scope
I'm lining up my shot

There's a strong breeze
The wind is affecting my aim

Sights pressed tight to my eyes take a breath and squeeze
I'm focusing intently on the task at hand and taking a deep breath before pulling the trigger

They looking like I'm gone fail first apperence
People doubt my abilities and expect me to fail

Can't let it get the best of me need perservearence
I won't let their negativity defeat me, I need to keep pushing forward with determination

You can hear it in my lyrics that the struggles real
My music reflects the hardships I've faced

Worried bout the bills ain't worried how the fuck they feel
I'm more concerned about taking care of my financial responsibilities than pleasing others

Can't fit a fall
I can't afford to make any mistakes

Hit the ground runnin
I need to start strong and keep moving forward

It'll be a beautiful sound to here this four pound gunning
Once I achieve my goals, it will be a satisfying sound to hear my gun firing in victory

Been playing roulette
I've been taking risks and leaving my fate up to chance

One shell in the seven
There's one bullet left in the chamber

Made a promise give it hell for my people in heaven
I made a promise to make the most of this life for those who have passed on

They said we get a second chance well tell it to Blake
People say we get second chances, but that doesn't apply to everyone, like Blake

Tell it to Drake get a pen and then write it to jake
Even celebrities like Drake aren't immune to life's hardships and losing loved ones

Stay in the chaos of the boats sitting close to the grave
I'm risking my life by staying involved in dangerous situations

Alotta killers on my boat try to hold em at bay
I'm surrounded by dangerous people, but I'm doing my best to keep them at a safe distance

See my reflection in my kids eyes like who am I
I'm questioning who I am and the example I'm setting for my children to follow

5 bricks in the back seat of a caddy do or die
I'm transporting illegal drugs and my life is on the line

They said I got a light inside of me how will I use it
People see potential in me, but it's up to me to utilize it for good

Lost in the dark follow the spark don't wanna loose it
I'm lost and uncertain, but I'm determined to follow any glimmer of hope or inspiration

The Masters in the pen on iron getting the swoll on
There are people in prison who are making the most of their time by improving themselves physically and mentally

As I walking out the gates he told me struggle hold on
A fellow inmate encouraged me to keep persevering through life's struggles

So long remember where you been if this all go wrong
No matter the outcome, I need to remember where I came from and how far I've come

Do it for ones who can't do it homie go on
I need to succeed for those who can't and continue to push forward
