Screaming

Lyrics by Sally Thompson. Performed by Sally, Maddie, Meghan, Maggie, Dana.

TROY:
I am not throwing away my shot
I am not throwing away my shot
Hey yo I’m just like my father
I’m a talented baller
And I am not throwing away my shot    
 
Imma a make this shot and then I’ll make another   
I love playing basketball with all my baller brothers
The problem I’ve got a talent that is undercover
I want to sing but if they find out
What I’m all about, They’ll raise doubts
 
here we go another year, another time to shine
This is do or die, if you think I’d quit you don’t know my pride
 
Only seventeen but my mind is older
I’m watching as our shots get closer, I shoulder
 
Every failure we have ever had,
I’m always being dragged, I don’t want to make him mad
But my father is just wack
 
He needs me to lead this team to victory
But maybe that is not the man that I want be
I might be T-R-O-Y-B-O-L-T-O-N and best believe
 
That everything I am was given to me
My father wantin me to be someone I couldn’t be
Essentially, he’s living vicariously 
And on top of that he’s doin it relentlessly
But to be free I’d have to go gainst everything
So for now I guess I’ll do the things he wants from me
 
Make the three, he says from inside the key
Don’t be shocked when the hall of fame mentions me
 
Can I give up my dreams for those of the team
Or will I become the person I was meant to be
 
I am not trowing away my shot
I am not trowing away my shot
Hey yo I’m just like my father
I’m a talented baller
And I am not throwing away my shot
 
BALLERS:
I am not throwing away my shot
I am not throwing away my shot
Hey yo I’m just like my father
I’m a talented baller
And I am not throwing away my shot
It's time to take a shot
 
CHAD:
They set a pick and then I dunk it, (OOOOOO)
The ref’s say I fouled, you bet I didn’t
Watch me play, in the paint, shake n bake, I don’t quit
When the other team shoots you bet I block that shit
 
BALLER:
No shot
 
ZEKE:
Yo, I'm out here playing defense
And there ain’t no way you’re shooting without resistance
Don’t think your little spin move is enough for a chance
Under no circumstance, will you be able to advance
You won’t make a shot
 
TROY:
Is that all you really care about?
Or is there more to you you’re hiding for some clout
Basketball
Can’t be all
If that’s personality, it’s a tragedy
no individuality
 
BALLERS:
Take another shot
 
CHAD:
come on dude, lower your voice
You keep out of trouble if you stick with one choice
 
You’re crazy, but this game matters a lot
You have to careful to not
Mess around, you might miss a shot

TROY:
Boys, look at the clock
We have 30 seconds left to make the shot
You better run, don’t walk
Chad let’s see what you got
Let’s run a Flex, make it hot, cause we’ve practiced a lot
What are the odds the gods would put us all in one spot
Watch us win in every tournament, like it or not
 
A team of absolutely brilliant, resilient, athletic kids
Let me make this shot because you best believe I never miss
 
Oh, am I talkin' too loud?
Sometimes I get over excited, shoot off at the mouth
I’ve never had the chance to lead before
I promise I won’t let ya’ll down
 
CHAD:
Let’s get this guy in front of a crowd
sorry theres no room for more lyrics

Screaming
