I stepped on the field no league just home team I Jumped out the stands and I snatched the the final seconds dwindling on the clock Mos post up to up the tie-breakin' shot
I put it the net and let the world's jaw drop Then fled the arena before they cops the players and the coach I wasn't tryin' to blow spot But the way they was made it difficult to watch
