[Verse 1: 1-O.A.K.]
I’ve been training all of this time
Show after flow, after rhyme
Bugs in my belly, my palms are sweaty
I’m almost ready
Oh you can do this
My friends and family
I wanna prove it
Naysayers look on, the lights they burn, it’s my turn

[Chorus: 1-O.A.K.]
I never hit a homerun
Though I’ve tried
Something got in my way
Something got in my way

[Verse 2: 1-O.A.K.]
Staring down the barrel of a loaded gun
Running for my life
Pray that I get home safe
Pray that I’m not too late
I wanna be perfect, wasting my time
You think long, you think wrong
No one to mimic, the fear sets in
Maybe I’m no ready after all
But everybody saying you can do it
My friends and family, I just wanna prove it
Naysayers look on, the lights they burn
[Bridge: 1-O.A.K.]
Mistakes is what life is built on, so what are you afraid of?
An error in your plan
Mr. Straight Man , Mr. Late Man
Too gentle for my own good
Too kind to get mine
Too fickle for my own future
Too blind to see my shine
When I’m swinging for the rafters
And everybody breaking out the cameras
’Cause they want that replay after the game
And if I lose then I’m naked and shamed
But I had to do it my way
Cause every star sparkles and fades
But what you gon do when you reach that page
A straight man leads and a late man follows

[Verse 2: 1-O.A.K.]
Oh no, there’s no one
Oh no, there’s no one to blame I’m all alone
Working on something, looking for something to change
And ooh, I’m howling at the moon
They will see me soon, real soon
Cause baby I
Oh I believe it, no other reason
I’m playing the game but I
[Chorus: 1-O.A.K.]
I never hit a homerun
Though I’ve tried
Something got in my way
Something got in my way
