Lyrics

I started at the bottom of the bottom
Most folks couldn't cope
So they dove into the bottom of a bottle
No team no coach but I was always in the huddle
Just dreams hopes of escaping out the gutter
Dark clouds in the sky accentuates our struggle
Might as well have been the ocean
All the sharks in the tide

It's time to make my mark
Time to draw the line in the sand
To be the man who's got the heart to survive
It ain't enough to be alive if you're living life
Cautious scared to play the game so afraid of the losses
The dream for the stardom plus
The drive to accomplish is the only thing
That separates the bench from the starters

I'm a step up but I never lay down
Don't care if I'm a pro or if I'm on the playground
Got a game face for when I bang out
And I'm taking first place cause I'm in the game now
Never gave up on the dream cause I rose up to the top
and now I'm here endless days all these nights
Never going back again it's my time
I was afraid of obstacles always was an awkward dude
I kept it to myself was not concerned with being popular

Could always see the future
Like was looking through binoculars
Considerably anonymous
But then I chose to turn up all the energy
Inside of him friends were unreliable
Parents never home and if they were
Was probably arguing
Started out an optimist but never could acknowledge
This probably was part of the problem

So pardon me for plotting
With the open and the dreaming
Abra-cadabra cats steady yapping
But ain't never had a plan to win
Started on that path almost fell into that trap
had the passion to adapt
Better recognize a champion
Son Sola winner never quitter
Always in contention banging at the limits
Sola set the pace he ain't just a pretty face
See this belt up on my waist
If you want it come and get it son
Never gave up on the dream
Cause I rose up to the top
And now I'm here
Endless days for these nights
Never going back again it's my time

You can never count him out
He ain't never giving up
Hear the cheers from the crowd
He can never get enough
He ain't never thinking about just
Who he could have been
If he didn't make it big
Cause that isn't who he is

The pain he's endured wasn't enough
To make him quit
The weight of the world ain't enough
To make him flinch
He gon' go hard he'll never lay down
Guess he's taking first place
Cause he's in the game now
Never gave up on the dream
Cause I rose up to the top

And now I'm here
Endless days
For these nights
Never going back again
It's my time
