Intro
The clock is bleeding red against the glass No time to breathe, no looking at the past
Verse 1
My jersey’s soaked in sweat and heavy pride There ain't no place for second thoughts to hide The defense tightening, I feel the heat I refuse to let the rhythm skip a beat I'm calculating every single move Locked inside a high-intensity groove The crowd is silent, waiting for the spark I'm a predator navigating the dark One shot left to define the legacy Winning is the only true necessity
Chorus
Two minutes on the clock, I'm going in This is the only way to really win Every second counts, I'm living fast Playing every moment like it's my last
Verse 2
I treat our love just like the final play I won't let another minute slip away I used to hesitate and hold my breath Now I'm loving like it's life or even death No more secrets hidden in the cold I'm betting everything, I’m going gold You’re the trophy at the end of the line I'm making sure that all your light is mine I chased the games but now I chase the truth Recovering the fire from my youth
Bridge
The pressure is a diamond in the rough I finally realized that I am enough Perspective shifted in the final act Every promise is a holy blood-pact
Verse 3
I'm living bigger than the scoreboard lights Scaling all the highest cinematic heights Relationships are more than just a score I’m kicking down the heavy iron door The buzzer beat is echoing through the hall I stood my ground and I refused to fall Now I'm walking through the tunnel to the sun The real game has only just begun
Chorus
Two minutes on the clock, I'm going in This is the only way to really win Every second counts, I'm living fast Playing every moment like it's my last
Bridge
Don't wait for permission to take the lead Follow the fire and the internal speed The game of life is won in the final breath Conquering the fear and the shadow of death
Chorus
Two minutes on the clock, I'm going in This is the only way to really win Every second counts, I'm living fast Playing every moment like it's my last
Chorus
Two minutes on the clock, I'm going in This is the only way to really win Every second counts, I'm living fast Playing every moment like it's my last
Outro
Zero on the clock, I finally won Look at everything that we have done Game over.
Inside the recording
The clock is bleeding red against the glass No time to breathe, no looking at the past
Two minutes on the clock, I'm going in This is the only way to really win
Zero on the clock, I finally won Look at everything that we have done
