BRIGHT LIGHTS BIG CITY

INTRO
From the rooftops
To the city blocks
We livin proof
That we can't & we won't stop
Let's keep it movin
Show & prove that we already dropped
I'd like to take this opportunity
To thank the whole community
For keepin us together in the same spot
Yo in the dark night
We see the bright lights
& we can rock right
(We keep the game tight)
We represent the element that gave us true sight

CHORUS
Bright lights, big city
It's gonna lift you higher and higher
When the world has got you down
City's gonna lift you higher and higher

VERSE 1
Lights flash blast past do the math
We building up beginning squad
Illuminate the path
Hit the street feel the concrete
Underneath your feet
And we runnin like there's only seconds left
Feel the breath
Let's connect reach out mad respect
I can't believe how far we raised
From Dirty blocks & dark hallways
Opposite of tenements
We livin in the top percent
Of hustlin their dreams
Livin way above our means
Now we formulate the team
Hit em like a lazer beam
Infinite abilities
Flowin like Pheidippides
Outside of parentheses
Genius in facilities
Our options are infinity
Founded independently
The path is undertaken
By the underestimated
Can you feel it yeah we made it
To the top we elevated
We don't stop & we created
In a new stream a new team
Shine like the ever present presence
Of the spotlight
(The light beams)

CHORUS

VERSE 2
Smash perception ain't no question
You're the best of them
I hope that the rest of them
Gettin all this oxygen (its medicine)
A catalyst of power people
Comin from the underground
Many styles all the citizens
From all around the planet ascending in a way that you can never take for granted
(It's a piece of pace a past of place)
I pass the praise the pastor makes
The timing of the time it takes
To raise up all the youth
That's the proof of the positivity & true humility
Passed on these progressions
In the cyphers & the sessions
True knowledge comes from everyone
& everything surrounding
We pounding up the bricks
& in our footsteps is evidence of providence
The sky scrapes takes a little building at a time
Now you over-stand the rhyme
We can all together climb
You get yours & I get mine
Never been a better time
To come together (each of us can teach one)
Never been a better time
I think I see the sign

CHORUS

OUTRO
Keep your head raised
As your mind stays
High above the fray
When you need to get up & stay up
Just nod your head & meditate
On this verbal word play
It's like every single day
We don't stop
We rock hip hop
On every single block
Let's get together now & raise it to the top

Chorus:
If you really want it
show 'em where your heart is
see if you can push it past the limit
show 'em what you're made of
if you think your game tough
let me see you push it past the limit
Push it past the limit

I push it further than the rest so they call me the champ
I'm kicking past my last breath so that makes me a vamp-
Pyre I'm on fire
With sweat and blood for survival
I'm wired not getting tired and flying straight for the final
wavy like tidal outlasting all of your idols
don't test me I might go psycho
eliminate all my rivals
swear on The Bible I'm ready to take the title the king to take his rightful place await my arrival
here's what separates the men from the boys
I'm pushing it past the limits
you're still sitting making noise

CHORUS

I never let the dust settle 'fore I start again
I'm so relentless I won't settle 'less it's for the win
fight with honor prove I'm worthy like the olden times
nevermind, show no mercy like I'm Cobra Kai enemies stand in my way best be ready to die I'm on a higher plane of vision like my 3rd eye that means I read between the lines
and I'm gone before you realize whoa
now you're frozen like you're paralyzed
tell the rest that I've arrived

CHORUS

Yea the Sun is rising
it's right over the horizon
it's all about the timing
and the drive to not stop climbing climbing
I'm never going to stop
until I reach the top
all you lesser men are probably all gonna drop cause my skill is unmatched
I ain't even scratch the surface
stand back watch me step into my purpose

CHORUS

CHORUS:
We don't back down, finger on the trigger
We don't back down, pushing back the pressure
We don't back down, ready for whatever you got
We rising up taking that top spot

Eyes on the prize, competition got the butterflies
rising up to Goliaths of any size
get bruised by the 100 yard stare, the eyes of a killer
the chill is in the air, and you're provoking gorillas

Grind time, no words, not even stones and sticks
hustle with muscle that could break bones and bricks
fire in my heart, putting competition on the ground
from the bottom now we coming for the crown

CHORUS

No hesitation, no debating or negotiation
no caving in, the bottom of our hearts that we're scraping
hunting for the next kill, forget how you feel
we ain't nipping at your heels, we hungry for the next meal

Fighting tooth and nail, no definition for quit
hitting hard, like a demolition team to your bricks
coming up from the dirt, pressing knuckles in the ground
from the bottom now we coming for the crown

I hear that crowd going wild all screaming my name
I'm a 4th quarter champion my heads in the game
Bruises up and down but I ain't gonna stop
This body goes hard pushing right to the top

The sweat's dripping down got rage in veins
Adrenaline pumping turning sparks to flames
No sidelines gonna make it count
Three, two, one this is my game now

Run hard or run home
Get scarred and break bones
Play with with heart or get owned
Never giving up, never giving up the fight

CHORUS:
Fight
The fight
The fight
Warpaint's on and we don't give up the fight

Down the wire time to make my move
Got the skills and endurance to see this thing through
This is it what we've been training for
No turning back time to even the score

Sweet revenge coming at you like a ton of bricks
100% talent, no stunts and no tricks
When this is all over and you're out of fuel
Check that slo-mo replay watch me take you to school

If I ever fold then leave me in the dirt
It's a clever mold meaning that my set path was never meant to merge
It's kinda getting worse while all of these feelings surge
Not supposed to be here but flipping packs up on the curb
But now I'm penning words, so free but time got me bound
Life is short but I hover tall, why I'm not backing down
Empty promises like track and field, it's the run around
The battle has only just begun so yeah, who can stop me now?

Who can halt the plan?
I'm different 'cause I am bound to stand
When in a jam
I will come out with the upper hand
I'm gonna rise in an instance
Sorta expeditious
Invitation to the first look, you can be a witness

Never count me out even though I will fall
You can never question if I truly gave my all
I'll set the stage for ya
I'll set the stage for ya
Let me let me let me let me
Set the stage for ya
What you doing if it isn't for the long haul?
I'm running game, you just playing 'cause you wanna stall
I'll set the stage for ya
I'll set the stage for ya
Let me let me let me let me
Set the stage for ya

When you defy the odds and free from all the sham facades
You're set apart from every single person in your squad
Perceiving frauds that's on a journey where the roads are broad
You persevere since you no longer do it for the applause
I'll fight back if you strike first
It's in my blood so it's unrehearsed
I'll still prevail even at my worst
There really no point on stopping me
League of my own like a latchkey
Plowing competition so carefree
My name going down in the books yeah, check the marquee

Who can halt the plan?
I'm different 'cause I am bound to stand
When in a jam
I will come out with the upper hand
I'm gonna rise in an instance
Sorta expeditious
Invitation to the first look, you can be a witness

Never count me out even though I will fall
You can never question if I truly gave my all
I'll set the stage for ya
I'll set the stage for ya
Let me let me let me let me
Set the stage for ya
What you doing if it isn't for the long haul?
I'm running game, you just playing 'cause you wanna stall
I'll set the stage for ya
I'll set the stage for ya
Let me let me let me let me
Set the stage for ya

VERSE 1
Another hero rises up
Out of the dawn
Hand on my hilt
Ready for em
Locked in brilliant form
Eyes full of vermillion
Ain't no fealty sworn
Except for a few
I hold with resilient born
Un-torn, unconditional
Constant affinity
Were here for jaunt
And then were gone
For infinity

I'm taking up the gauntlet
No acting timidly
They try to intimidate me
But they can't eliminate me
All they can do is hate me
But there the ones made me
Melded by the mayhem
My mind's my only sanctum
I got to find a way
For every move they play
Cuz when all the pieces fall
Its either me or they (4X)

CHORUS (2X)
Looking out
Through the eye of the storm
Through the riot and calm
Through the night and the dawn
Through the plight
And the strife
To the final beyond
Like a Viking song

VERSE 2
I stay wary
Conscious of my surroundings
Cause I know
Everywhere I go
Conflict surrounds me
It's the constant
State of affairs
But I can't be afraid
I got to embrace any fear
That I have
Got to take any trace that appears
Then turn into something
More brazen and fierce
Cuz when they start engaging
And invading my sphere
I got to be ready
To break em off
Leave em impaired

Cuz they out for blood
And their plot is
To end me
I'm defending
My honor
My name
Is an emblem
Of symbol courage
And independence
There will be no occurrence
Of any surrendering
I'm taking a stand
Making my brand
Never faking
Never breaking
Never forsaking my clan
Forever adamant
Surveying land
Holding fate in my hand (4X)

CHORUS (2X)

Chorus:
They can't hold me down
No matter what they throw at me
It's only shackles in this land of opportunity
I vow to overthrow all of their schemes
Third eye open, everything is not what it seems
They can't hold me down
No matter what they throw at me
Emptied the clip before I reached my dreams
Stay woke, everything is not what it seems, what it seems

Coded language
For years been able to maintain it
Expect us to be on our knees because the chains are vanquished
But if I take a knee, I'm sensing frustration
All the demonstrations in the south like my moves are calculated
Resist the system, Jim Crow no more feeling symptoms
Fearing for your life today but back then you could just whip them
Respect all leadership silences my criticism
I love my fellow man, I just wanna shake the ecosystem

CHORUS

Black man, black man
Gotta turn off body cam
Summarizing life span

Right story, I'm in a jam
Inanimate object, desk work is the price to pay
Plant the drugs on his body, he probably sell it anyway
Feeling faint, this activity holds my day to day
Land of the free home of the raised but it's been delayed
Spiritual lips, we shall overcome but I'm feeling fazed
Signed endearing sincerely in the blood of the slaves

CHORUS

I pledge allegiance to the flag
Red, white, and blue longs for me in a body bag
Wall building over bridges, disposable brown children
Immigrants aren't illegal if you were a pilgrim
Sweet land of liberty, it's bitter to the core
Marching for freedom but my feet are feeling sore
I know there's more

CHORUS

RISE AGAIN

VERSE 1
Saw my reflection and I admit I was petrified
I used to know me but lately guess I been in disguise
Looked in the mirror and saw a flame burning deep inside
How did I get here I don't care but this is my goodbye

PRE-CHORUS
My back's against the ground
You try but you can't stop me now
I'm gonna turn it all around
I'll never let you keep me down

CHORUS
I'll rise again in the morning (4X)

VERSE 2
Just cause the moment is dark it don't mean there's nothing more
I'll pack my bags and I'll find my strength walking out the door
You won the battle but I know I'm gonna win the war
Cause every night brings a new day and I am ready for it

CHORUS

PRE-CHORUS

CHORUS

Take a breath and push through in the moment. There ain't nobody else to do it for you and you know it. Sometimes it isn't time to grab the wheel just let it flow, and if it isn't time to hold it then it's time to let it go.
I know it all seems tough but you're not travelin' alone, and if you use your inner guidance then you'll always find your way back home.
When you feel you gotta give it all you got just to keep from breakin'
Is when you hear the voices sayin'

CHORUS:
You can do this
You can do this
You can turn it all around
You can do this

V1:
Standin' here contemplatin' decisions that I made
Tried to leave behind the times when the ride kept me enslaved
And inside I was filled with rage but the pain was locked in a cage
And the repetition kept making me wish for the end of days
Sleepin' deep away in a dream state
Tryna reach the part that's one and only purpose was to create
Well it seems there isn't anyone left that could relate
And the fact that every subject's always up for debate
Well it's time to take control of my life grab by the reigns and despite the constant threat of the rain or deadening pain, I'll remain
Standing strong with the Universe at my side and the constant reminder that I was predestined to fly
With the sky scraping the surface I'm realizing my purpose and anything that I been through is most certainly worth it
With every rise of the sun there's another chance to renew it
With a faint voice from the silence keeps saying that you can do this

CHORUS

Sometimes we all like giving up, but if you give in to the notion that's somethings planned bigger for us, then that's when you stick it to luck
Faith lives in the gut, and once you step into that power there's nothing better to trust.
The inner visions that cut through like incisions a gentle hinted decision to inject some intention into your mission.
Well I'm convinced that that's the only voice to which I should listen, if I ever expect to make it through living in this dimension
Slowly something is shifting so I remain on the path
As if enlightenment is just something simple that I could grasp
But with the love I feel around me it's possible that I'd last
Take a look into my future from the past
It's everything that has got me here, that keeps getting me to the next
And the voice volume keeps coming up telling me I'm the best
Well that voice is the only one who actually knows what the truth is
And that's why it's saying that you can do this

CHORUS:
We are
Never giving up never backing down
We born to fight
We born to fight
And that's real
No matter what you say it'll never break us down
Cause we born to fight
Born fight (2x)

When it rains it pours
Everything has it own reasons
Everyday thank the lord
Just off the thought of me breathing

It brings pain to my sores
Just at the thought of you leaving
These wounds are open like doors
But we gon keep on retreating

We gon keep on fighting
Your life was light to the fire
So anxious to see you
So everyday we look higher

Gave birth in the rings so we was born to be fighters
Born to be titled the greatest
We give a f*** if you like it

Remember the times we cried
Remember the times we laughed
Remember the times forever

Wish I could have it all back
Give the world just to get a chance to see you again
Now you in a better place flying free as the wind
When its all over we gon be it again
Like I'm yours and your mine
And pains heals in due time
Fill that void cause you shine in the sky bright as ever
Celebrating your life
Missing you forever

CHORUS

If you ever lost somebody
Lemme hear you say
Oh oh oh
If you made it through the fire and you a fighter
Say oh oh oh
When you feel like you can't make it and you gotta be strong
Say oh oh oh

Cause you a fighter
Gon' and raise your lighters
This ones for the fighters
(2x)

SHOWOFF

CHORUS (2X)
We showoff we show up
You know this you know us
They hatin' but so what
No one can hold us

We showoff we show up
We showoff we show up
We showoff we showoff
We showoff we show up

VERSE 1
Ain't playin no mo'
Came to settle the sco'
Never heard befo'
Well now you know
I had 'em like wow yeah
They were diggin' my style yeah
Don't rock with me now yeah
They seeing me smile yeah
Thinkin' back to the days
When I couldn't get a plate
All I wanted was a taste
All I felt was disgrace
But now I feel great
You can see it in my face
Now they all wanna ride
But I ain't got space
We fo sho no probablies
And we don't take apologies
Unless you saying sorry
With a pile of G's
See I got mouths to feed
It cost a pile of fees
Bless the child that got his own
That's my philosophy

CHORUS

VERSE 2
Pull up in that thang
You know ya boy gone bang
You know exactly what I'm saying
What games boy we ain't playin
I'm the one that's got it
I'm the one that's with it
I'm the one still gettin' it
I'll show yo how to get it
I come from the mud
Yet I be shinig like this
So every now and again
I must remind 'em like this
I kill the game and leave it slumped
They gone find it like this
And I'll match the alibi
Perfect timing like this
We the ones they came to see
And the ones they wish to be
Everynight is history
Never blue to rich to be (uhhhh)
Haters resent me
Presidents represent me
Come see ya don't tempt me
My tank is never empty

CHORUS (2X)

YOU GOT THIS

VERSE 1
Some things you just can't control
But keep your head up and try to make the most
Of every little twist and every turn
Cuz only you can fan the flame that burns

CHORUS
You are strong enough
You got
You got
You got this
And you will surprise yourself
You got

You got this

POST-CHORUS
There will be struggle
There will be doubt
You will get up
Then get knocked down
But through it all don't you forget
Through it all don't you forget
That you got
You got
You got this

VERSE 2
We all get high, we all get low
Some of us climb, some of us crawl
But you got fire deep down in your soul
You get up when you're knocked down
You get up when you're knocked down

CHORUS

POST-CHORUS 2
There will be struggle
There will be doubt
You will get up
Then get knocked down
But through it all don't you forget
Through it all don't you forget

CHORUS

PINNACLE

VERSE 1
I've got so many wild dreams
Can't keep em down
It seems they're only getting stronger
Never fizzle out

PRE-CHORUS
I've got this vision in my head
And every part of it is mine
I see that mountain in the distance
Got that Everest on my mind.. and

CHORUS 1
I'm climbing (hmm)
I'm climbing (hmm)
Straight up to the top, to the pinnacle
I'm climbing (hmm)
I'm climbing (hmm)
Straight up to the top, to the pinnacle
To the pinnacle

Challenge all my limits
It's gonna get uncomfortable
But I am staying with it

PRE-CHORUS

CHORUS 2
I'm climbing (hmm)

Straight up to the top, to the pinnacle
I'm climbing (hmm)

Straight up to the top, to the pinnacle

OUTRO
I got this heart that beats
And I've got these lungs that breathe
Take a breath, take a step
Finish one thing, then the next
Got this heart that beats
Got these lungs that breathe
Take a breath, take a step
Finish one thing, then the next
Finish one thing, then the next

WE WON'T BE DENIED

CHORUS
No matter who's on the other side
We will not divide
On a roll can't break our stride
We won't be denied
None succeed but many have tried
Married to the game made it my bride
Whatever it takes know I'm gon' rid
And I won't stop 'til I'm satisfied/

VERSE 1
We pull up and we let 'em have it
They talking smoke but we don't want the static
Opportunity bet I grab it
Ain't gotta think it's automatic
We flipped the script it's acrobatic
We running thangs so diplomatic
Count it up it's mathematics
My life a movie too cinematic
Winning streak, nowhere near a peak
Quiet when I speak don't wanna hear a peep
We want it all, now we in too deep
We paid our dues and the price was steep
Is your heart still tough when times get rough?
Would you lay it all down? Do you want it bad enough?
When the pressure build up the pipes filled up
When it's all going bad would you give up?
We got it bad and there ain't no cure
You confident but we ain't so sure
Even when intentions pure
Still fall prey to the devil's lure

CHORUS (2X)

VERSE 2
Can't break us apart break us apart
Break us apart, break us apart, no
So don't get me started
Get me started, get me started, whoa
You don't wanna test your vest with us
This is big boy talk eat your vegetables
See me I get it jumping on the regular
Phone stay ringing jumping off the cellular (ah)
Wanna know how I do it
But they don't know who I am
When I'm down to my last
How I come back again
They can't believe their own eyes
Rather believe their own lies
I chose to improvise
New low my old highs
I'm headed for it that's no lies
Headfirst like nose dives
Reasons why they do despise
Couldn't tell ya' won't even try

CHORUS (2X)

GO THE DISTANCE

VERSE 1
You can point out all my faults
Glorify all of my wrongs
Want me to run off course
Fall off track want me gone
what ya thought that
I'd fallback as if it would hurt
Or do any harm
I put it in the work
I'm a highlight reel in human form
You run your mouth
I run my route
You keep the hate
I keep the faith
I stay in bounds
You're out of line
And out of time
I end the game
I'm who they cannot contain
And that's not
Gonna stop or change
And I got a
Whole lot to gain
No matter what team we face
It's not a thing
Got to leave it all on the field
Got to go farther and farther
Got to go harder and harder
Got to put them all on their heels
Got to give it all i can give
Until the unthinkable is
What my team accomplishes
I can promise you this
Promise you this

CHORUS (2X)
I know I'm on my job
And nowhere close to finished, tho
I'm overcoming the odds
They don't know the love involved
If it's a ton of yards
Or it's only inches
I'll keep on going far
It's makes no difference

VERSE 2
If you make enough small steps
They can become long strides
But it's in the little things
And it's how you handle those
Before you can handle bigger things
Go and tackle bigger foes
Got to grow some bigger wings
Got to be what driven means
Or consider just hitting the road
Can't reach the peak without reaching lows
Got to keep on keeping on
Got to play a much bigger role
Got to make a list with bigger goals
Got to leave room for improvement
Got to take their expectations
Got to keep exceeding those
Got to reach our destination
Got to just do what we're doing
Got to prove what needs to be proven
Got to keep pursuing and pushing
Got to take our own objectives
Got to keep on meeting those
Got to keep on digging deep
Be the ones they couldn't beat
There's something inside of me
That'll never die
Got to have that burning fire
Got to have that inner drive
Got to have that will to win
That'll never be denied
Got to have a competitive edge
You can see it in my eyes

CHORUS (2X)

BRIDGE
I'm gonna break it down
Keep on breaking ground
All for the taking now
One for the ages
Nothing but game changers
I'm gonna break it down
Keep on breaking ground
All for the taking now
One for the ages
Nothing but game changers

PRE-CHORUS
Records get broken
I'm ready to go in
I'm only beginning
I'm way too committed
And making it golden
A greater devotion
To go for the win
Flow it again
Records get broken
I'm ready to go in
I'm only beginning
I'm way too committed
And making it golden
A greater devotion
To go for the win

CHORUS (2X)

Every mountain has a side for me to climb
And every ocean that I swim will help me find
Who I am within, make me stronger make me give
Yeah

Every wall that I break down will bring me close
To every dream that I will finally come to know
I always need to feel that fire in me
Oh

CHORUS
Oh, I feel alive
Oh, I feel alive
I take all the joy and all the pain
Whatever it takes
Gonna make the best of today

My every breath, holds the future I hope for
Never stopping when the fear is at my door
When I find the pain, I'll know that I'm in the game
Yeah

And every sun that goes down with every day
I'll know that I have lived it in my own way
Never passing moments by, no matter low or high
Yeah

CHORUS

Oh, I feel alive
Oh, I feel alive
Oh, I feel alive, alive

CHORUS

LAST ONE

INTRO
Take them by surprise
When the right chance comes
You may not get another try
Make it happen get it done

VERSE 1
Each and every last one
Hit them with a fast one
Take them by storm
Write before the sunrise
We gon see who last long
See who stands strong
We gon see who doesn't
Have a leg to stand on
See who gets their last laugh on
Got to leave them gone
Gone in a flash from
Completing every task at hand
Slam dunk any objective
Like it's my last jump
Like I might only get the chance once

PRE-CHORUS (2X)
Time is what nobody gets a pass from
While it's on my side I gotta do what no
Do what no one has done

CHORUS
Who can finish up the strongest?
Who can go above and beyond?
Who made it their purpose
To take it the furthest
In the face of adversity
and/or state of emergency?
Who can sling it like a psalmist?
And who's been in it for the longest?
Who made it their purpose
To take it the furthest
To fulfill a promise
Til the mission is accomplished?

VERSE 2
Last one that they're expecting to see
Once the dust settles
Last one to rise above the flood levels
I'm the last one doing it like it's
In my blood vessels
Last one showing up
Without a reservation
Without hesitation
To crush devils
Forget whatever
Was scheduled
There's something greater at stake
More important at hand
There can't be any mistakes
To go according to plan
We'll see who got what it takes
We'll see who can stay the course
As harm's way awaits
We can't call it off
We can't call it safe
Not until we see these dark forces
All disintegrate
Cripple any plot of the wicked
Trying to eliminate
The last one
Guardin' the state
I got a maker to meet
Until then His word's a lamp unto my feet
Light unto my path
Wiping out the evils
At a fast pace
Put them in their place
Cuz they can't compete

PRE-CHORUS (2X)

CHORUS 1

CHORUS 2
Who can sling it like a psalmist?
And who's been in it for the longest?
Who made it their purpose
To take it the furthest
To fulfill a promise
Til the mission is accomplished?

MY HERO

VERSE 1
Catching your breath
It never gets easy
There is no fame
And no, it ain't pretty

PRE-CHORUS
But day after day
You never back down

CHORUS
You're my hero
You're my hero
You run into the fire
You're my hero

You always keep on fighting

VERSE 2
Hope is alive
On the path that you follow
All of your sweat
Is for time that we borrow

PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS

VERSE 3
Catching your breath
There is no rest
You give it all away
All of your sweat
Never relent
You give it all away

CHORUS

I tell myself that I'm the one - that I'm the one - yeah I'm the one
The only one who's there for me - who's there for me - who's there for me
I tell myself don't drop your guard - don't drop your guard - don't drop your guard
Don't start to trust, no don't believe, no don't believe in you

But what if I'm mistaken oh oh
And what if love keeps takin' me down?

CHORUS:
Oh I, I am not a prisoner
And I'm escapin' this condition
No more broken parts
No more walls around my heart
Oh I, I am not a prisoner
I'm free to love again
Love again Love again
I'm free to love again, love again
Love again

You give me more than I deserve, than I deserve, I deserve
I hide behind these fragile bars, cuz it's too hard, yeah It's too hard
You give me what I can't accept, you give me all of you

I'm free to love again
free to love again
Free to love again
I'm free to love again

I'm moved
by the call
Of the marching drum
That is my heart

The pain
The towering walls
Aren't strong enough
To break my bones

CHORUS:
I won't stop
I can't stop
I'll never be defeated
I won't stop
I can't stop
I'll never be defeated

And though
there are times
When I can't face
the starting gun

And the sweat
fills my eyes
And floods the path
But still I run

CHORUS

VERSE 1
Been down counted all of my blessings,

No guessing never let them see you sweat man,
my depression smiles my confession.
Daily testing I'm flexing my muscle
for the win no in I hustle,
grind hard take a loss what's that
bases loaded, two strikes, swinging my bat.
Boom ping ting run & tell that,
Winner's Circle gritty whole team on my back.

CHORUS (2X)
Welcome to the land of the gritty
This is my house we're shuttin them all down

VERSE 2
Break my focus, eyes on the prize,
competitors fear they see no lies in my eyes.

Look who stepped in the room,

highest points scored on every cellphone screen,
nothing but the T-O-P for me.
I, Hi-5 oh, so live, my stride, I glide, slip slide,
run, dive, collide, four more yards till the touchdown line.
Defense up, they're all fence off,
God I hit him hard they playing too soft,
we playing football, man I think they playing golf
we can't lose while I walk my walk.

CHORUS (2X)

BRIDGE
Welcome to the Jungle I'm a panther not a kitty,
only one rule here survival of the gritty.
See that on my back whole damn city,

Squeezing, flexing, fingertips gripping,
drool and sweat is the only thing dripping,

cuz this here this is our house
and we ain't playing no games

(Let's get to it)

VERSE 1
Just run ya route before you lose the chance
We making noise from in the field way out in to the stands
I'm In the game I make the plays and got the smoothest plan
You couldn't catch me at ya best because I'm too advanced
I'm gettin groovy on the move just tryna beat the odds
I'm chasing dreams ain't losing me so I can keep a job
I give em heat I'm redefined they giving me the signs
I'm the type to move discreet and ima leave em blind

PRE-CHORUS 1
Everyday just give it all that you got
Tryna hold a little tighter when the ball bout to drop
(Ain't tryna hear it)

CHORUS
Outwork em, outthink em

Opportunity keep knocking when ya game is tight
And if you want it bad enough it's time to make it right
Just keep on winning keep on winning ain't no holding back
Keep on winning keep on winning we can show the stats
Just keep on winning keep on winning ain't no bowing down
Just keep on winning keep on winning bring the talent out

VERSE 2
Stand up like a man or lay down like the cowards do
I seen em down and out but strength is how you power thru
So call the doubters they can witness what I'm bout to do
I'm working hard so I can wake up to a Mountain View
I got some people rootin' for me ones that want me gone
I know some folks In higher places some that done some wrong
They never understand the play like "why you want the pawn?"
So quickly it can get mistaken cuz I want it all

BRIDGE 1
How can you ever be the best if you don't chase ya dream?
These people out here looking stressed, but they don't make it seem

CHORUS

BRIDGE 2
How can you ever be the best if you don't chase ya dream?

PRE-CHORUS 2

CHORUS

OUTRO
We keep on winning

CHAMPION

VERSE 1
If you want to be the best
Then you gotta beat the best
No B.S. work hard, leisure less
I'm in a whole other league
They can't even test
Want to step to me
Go head and be my guest
Enough talking
Time to put this beef to rest
It's game on now
You about to be finessed
I don't care who your camp is
What your brand is
By the end of the show
They gonna know
Who the champ is
Every step,every rep, every breath
Every trickle of sweat
It's a ripple effect
only way you can win some respect
Is to keep on winning
And don't let them forget
It's like an overdue debt
I won't accept
No more rain checks
I'm here to collect
Better prep, better come correct
Come at me you better bet
I'm coming for your neck

CHORUS
No sacrifice, no reward
Got to fight to endure
Like a Champion
Not the type to ignore
They don't like me
Cuz boy I'm a Champion
No payment, no payoff
No pain, no playoffs
For a Champion
No discipline, no victory hymn
Yeah I'm gonna win
Cuz I'm a Champion

VERSE 2
It don't matter if it's practice
My passion's the same
To me it's the whole
Other half of the game
I don't half-ass it
Don't skip past it
Ain't no thespian
More like ESPN classic
Pass me the rock
Or pass me the mic
Like a pigskin
Underneath them
Stadium lights
Keep it tight like spiral
Aimed for the kill
My cranium is titanium
So they can't tell
Me that I won't
Cuz I know that I will
And if I do fail
Then I use it to build
Ain't a worse way to lose
Then to give up and choose
To not compete for me
There is no excuse
I'm an all star
Never surrender
I'll starve
Before you see me turn to flee
So don't start
This is what I'm here for
It's gonna be a war
And that means
There's gonna be more
Then some sweat on the floor

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Champion
I'm a champion
Champion, champion

Champion, champion
When I'm a champion
Boy I'm a champion, champion

CHORUS
