Catch, Shoot, Swish

Catch, shoot, swish

Catch, shoot, swish

Everything in slow motion

As I give myself to my devotion

My mind is free

As I harness my inner basketball Chi

My struggles are gone, My stress is gone

And I can play until the break of dawn

Body so loose

And those buckets... boy can I produce

This is like an algorithm

That allows me to find that fluid rhythm

Action without thought

It just can’t be fought

Through the court I glide

Fluid in every stride

Me, the hoop, and my ball

This feels amazing y’all

This moment is everything

And I can hear the gym sing

Catch, shoot, swish

Catch, shoot, swish

Basketball is my game

And nothing else can make me feel the same.
