| Being the best
|
| What it looks like, to be a cut above the rest
|
| Nobody understands what it takes to be the man
|
| Having every single person say you can’t when you can
|
| To give up everything you’ve ever known for a dream
|
| And never stop the fight no matter how hard it seems
|
| You sacrifice, you bleed, you sweat, and you cry
|
| Doing everything you can not to lay down and die
|
| When you fall and you call out; |
| there’s no one to help
|
| So you’ve got no other option but to pick up yourself
|
| At the end of the battle you’re the only one standing
|
| Everyone watching, the stage you’re commanding
|
| The pages of history will speak of today
|
| And when they talk about the champion
|
| This is what they’ll say:
|
| People will break you right down to nothing if you let 'em
|
| They say, «There's a million others like you, what makes you better?»
|
| But remember that these folks are afraid of the unknown
|
| They’re the ones who wet the bed if they go 10 miles from home
|
| «Stay Down!» |
| is what they scream in your ear
|
| The only weapon that they have to use is fear
|
| So you take all the beatings and you take all the hits
|
| But your back on your feet for more, you don’t quit
|
| You’ll never back down, never stop, never pause
|
| Never give up, never sacrifice the cause
|
| This is your life, you gonna let somebody take it?
|
| Look in the mirror: That’s all you need to make it
|
| (Bridge)
|
| The smoke has all cleared, and you own the thrown
|
| You’re king of the castle, and everybody knows
|
| They bow in your presence, and fear your might
|
| Cause they know for damn sure what it, what it. |
