Intro
Yeah... feel that rhythm in the heat
Verse 1
Blacktop sizzles while these soles keep turning slow and steady Defense swarming heavy but my vision cutting through the flow already Crossover smooth with a spin that opens up the gap so clean Mind stays sharp where the pressure used to set the trap so mean Sweat on the brow dripping slow but the grin cuts wide and bright Homies on the baseline yelling loud like they my ride or die for life Heat stacking high like the sun cooking the rim at high noon I don't fold under it, I just let the bounce talk to the room Used to rush the moment when the double team would slide on in Now I read the rotation, drop the shoulder, let the play begin Every fake a question that the defense gotta answer back in time Every made bucket proof that the clear feeling stays on track in rhyme Playful in the moment even when the score is getting tight The bounce keeps teaching me to find the joy inside the fight
Pre-chorus
When the help side rotates and the lane starts drawing tight around I don't force the issue, I just breathe and read the timing sound Heart beating in my chest but the mind goes quiet in the fight profound
Chorus
Clear bounce Sprite on the blacktop flame Clear bounce when the pressure calls my name One breath deep and the lane opens wide Clear bounce, let the whole court glide Clear bounce Sprite, rhythm in the reset Clear bounce, no looking back, no regret Clear bounce Sprite in the middle of the heat Clear bounce got the whole court at my feet
Verse 2
Second half the legs moving lighter than they did before the break Decisions landing faster like I kicked open a hidden door awake Used to overthink every single play that came my way too fast Now I trust the bounce, let it lead me through the gray at last Light jabs in the huddle with the homies, laughter in the chest so free Every made bucket shared, that's the real kind of success we see Court breathing with me like it's part of who I am in the flow Every dribble a heartbeat, every swish a quiet amen we know Trash talk flying light, all love behind the words we say with grins High fives after every play, no time for the shade that never wins The game's alive around me and I'm moving in its flow so right Every step a new note in the song only we know in the night
Bridge
Missed a couple shots in a row but the ball keeps returning clean and true Clear feeling lingers even when the shot is burning through the seam for you Doubt tries to whisper from the sideline trying to creep inside the frame But the bounce drowns it out, lets the rhythm be my guide in the game That's the power in the moment when the heat tries to win the round I just keep it bouncing, let the clear feeling in without a sound
Chorus
Clear bounce Sprite on the blacktop flame Clear bounce when the pressure calls my name One breath deep and the lane opens wide Clear bounce, let the whole court glide Clear bounce Sprite, rhythm in the reset Clear bounce, no looking back, no regret Clear bounce Sprite in the middle of the heat Clear bounce got the whole court at my feet
Outro
Clear bounce... yeah Clear bounce... right here
Inside the recording
Yeah... feel that rhythm in the heat
When the help side rotates and the lane starts drawing tight around I don't force the issue, I just breathe and read the timing sound
Clear bounce... yeah Clear bounce... right here
