American R&B singer/songwriter VEDO has a smooth, romantic style reminiscent of Usher, who acted as his coach on the fourth season of NBC's The Voice. During the second half of the 2010s, he released three albums and notched a handful of highly streamed singles, but it was 2020's moody "You Got It" from his fourth album "For You", that became VEDO's breakthrough hit. Working quickly, he followed it in 2021 with his fifth full-length "1320".
Shot Clock
VEDO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She said she ready for love
She done with that bullshit
She said ain't no pullin out!
Meet her at her pulpit
She tryna play no game
She thinks all niggas the same
You can stay in ya lane!
Im wonderin' "Why? Why? Why?"
She ain't got the patience
She be like "bye bye bye"
And I know she don't think twice
If it's somethin' she don't like
She gonn' let 'cha know 'bout it
She gave her all to Mr. Problem
And nigga like me gotta commissar 'im
She say "if I want that pussy I'm gonn' have to bag that
Ain't no freebies yes she freaky but you gotta pass test"
She got money and she funny you can see it in her eyes
She said its mine if I want!! it I can own it
She hit a nigga with a shot clock!
(Don't sleep, don't need no sleep,
No sleep, gonn' miss your opportunity)
Shot clock whoooaaaa, shot clock
(Don't sleep, don't need no sleep,
No sleep, gonn' miss your opportunity)
Shot clock
You bet not waste her time
Only got one good time
You betta blow her mind
She done heard every lieeee
I thought she was bougie
When I meet her but I know she different
I know she been through it I
Don't blame her if she keep her distance
5 years of waitin' sick nd tired of
Datin' (she don't know why I am here for)
Love is complicated so she come up
Aggressive (it's only when I feel for)
If it's somethin' she don't like
She gonn' let 'cha know 'bout it
She gave her all to mr. problem
And nigga like me gotta commissar 'im
She say if I want that pussy I'm gonn' have to bag that!
Ain't no freebies yes she freaky but you gotta pass test!
She got money and she funny you can see it in her eyes
She said its mine if I want it I can own it
She hit a nigga with a shot clock
(Don't sleep, don't need no sleep,
No sleep, gonn' miss your opportunity)
Shot clock whoooaaaa, shot clock
(Don't sleep, don't need no sleep, no sleep
Gonn' miss your opportunity)
Shot clock ohhh shot clock
(Don't sleep, don't need no sleep,
No sleep, gonn' miss your opportunity
Don't sleep, don't need no sleep,
No sleep, gonn' miss your opportunity)
The song Shot Clock by VEDO is about a woman who is done with the games that men play when it comes to love. She is seeking a serious relationship and is not willing to entertain any man who is not on the same wavelength as her. She tells men that if they want her, they have to be willing to commit and prove themselves. She has been hurt in the past and is now guarded, ensuring that no one wastes her time. She is looking for someone who will blow her mind and is not afraid to let men know it.
The chorus of the song, which repeats several times, is a warning to men not to sleep on this opportunity. The shot clock is ticking, and they need to act fast if they want to win this woman's heart. The lyrics imply that the woman knows what she wants and is not afraid to be assertive and upfront about it. The song, therefore, serves as a reminder to men that they need to step up their game and commit, or else they will miss out on the chance to be with a great woman.
