Fourth Quarter Feelings

[Intro]
Headband tight
Eyes red, no sleep
Whole squad here
Still feel lonely
[Verse 1]
Fourth quarter, heart racing like a fast break
Hidden scars under jersey and the handshake
Feel like Deadpool, laughing while the wounds ache
Shrug it off, cracked smile, “yeah, I’m okay” (nah)
Venom in my veins, I’m the anti-hero
Talking to the mirror like it’s final free throw
Anime eyes, see the aura in slow-mo
Turn my trauma into power, that’s the promo
Benched as a kid, now I’m calling all plays
Used to ride the pine, now I’m shining on stage
Super saiyan in my soul when the rage raise
Still a teardrop on my cheek like a face fade
[Chorus]
I’ve been running up the score on my feelings
Step-back jumper from the pain, I’m leaning
Turn the heartbreak into hype, I mean it
Like an opening theme, I’m screaming
I’ve been crossing up the ghosts I’m fearing
Clutch time, hear the crowd, they’re cheering
But the loudest in my head, still jeering
So I shoot through the doubt, stay believing (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Anime arc, yeah this season got a plot twist
Side character glow, now they gotta watch this
Thoughts in my head doing full court press
Still I Eurostep stress, little side step flex
Venom tongue when I snap, then I backspace
Deadpool humor hiding every sad face
Masked up, but the cracks in the black paint
Show a kid on the couch, saying “I’m afraid”
Overtime nights, couldn’t sub my mind out
Scoreboard dark but the pain still lights out
Look up, see the stars like a wide crowd
They chant my name while I talk myself down (woah)
[Chorus]
I’ve been running up the score on my feelings
Step-back jumper from the pain, I’m leaning
Turn the heartbreak into hype, I mean it
Like an opening theme, I’m screaming
I’ve been crossing up the ghosts I’m fearing
Clutch time, hear the crowd, they’re cheering
But the loudest in my head, still jeering
So I shoot through the doubt, stay believing (yeah yeah)
