The Entrance 01:27
3 periods, 3periods thats all you got ..its what you've been training for... no matter where you heads at right now, its time to realize you control the match it doesnt matter what they did in the past or how much better their record is what does matter is never settling and pushing physical boundaries and realize that you are a machine... its your job to control the pase , if you got the decision thats not good enough, you should of got the major if you got the major you should of got the tech if you got the tech, you should of got the pin Verse- I throw that book back up and over my shoulder Start walking to locker room cuz classes are over My minds racing with nerves and you know don't ever slow up Thinking stupid thoughts like "hope opponents don't show up" I'm so tense... somehow I put it all behind me into the locker room I go and all my team mates surround me Trying joke around just to ease the tention around me And then my coach walks in right before it goes down See... He goes through the line up, telling who to warm up like If we do or don't get the toss whos gonna bump and Who the stud in each weight class and how we match up Its like enough already else i'm already bout to throw up For real....man I'm just gotta wrestle my match Questioning why I'm nervous "really how can you ask?" But they don't live it like me man they don't understand Mono y mono you know hand to hand I never underestimate or overlook my opponent No one can stop me i'ma take this match and i'm gonna own it Until our coach sends us out I just wait for the moment The lights dim my team enters and them doors come open

1st Verse- Warming up and I'm ready to Just counting down the clock from the match before, Until your up, (clock ticking) And its about that time The referee calls us both to the center, on the line Gentleman, if you could please shake hands Down in my stance as all my nerves silence noise in the stands And all I'm thinking in my head to make me overcome the fear is keeping it focused stay explosive wrestle tough and make it clear That I'm a champion.... man I'm built to win And all you others might as well just keep practicing extra workouts round the clock always training non stop top notch everything you trying to get I got High crotch, low single leg whatever the shot I'm coming in at every angle and I'm not gonna stop Try and block ... And I'm a show you the meaning Of being a a take down artist That'll keep you from breathing Chorus- This is what its all about you feel the rumble from the roar of the crowd Step in the circle your heart pounding now Your like a warrior now take em down

Yeah, i walk these hall ways like I run this place With all these tournaments I'm winning man i'm right on pace I got another 1st place wrapped up in my case Your face to face with operating on a deadily chase it pays be like me boy.... i'm all in control i'm beating records so ahead i'm almost 10 steps forward you best get 10 steps back in fact, you aint that bad you aint no threat you wanna test lets see out on that mat? click clack I'm winning matches i dominate practice which i dont really have to anymore i'm just laughing at my competition passing i leave em and ass whipping and thats if it last through the first periods maximum so believe it or not ripley theres no way you can stop me cuz i hit takedowns so phenomenally I run this is the sport man my confidence flying Now I'm talking big names like Jason Bryant Chorus Raise My Hand Raise My Hand Raise My Hand Raise My Hand Another first place wrapped up in the bag Now would somebody tell the referee to raise my hand Raise My Hand Raise My Hand Raise My Hand Raise My Hand Do all you screaming people up in the stands understand From the whistle to the finish I'ma kill it man I'm Winning Matches I'm just winning man... Its all I do Raise My Hands Up In The Air My Records Cimbing People in the stands all stop in stare There goes the Raise My Hand Raise My Hand Raise My Hand Raise My Hand Verse And if you've done it before then you would know The best feeling in the world is putting on that show so let me show ya how i do it when i do what i do I start manuevering they can't even keep up with me dude you know i take em down for two but then i let em escape they play it off like i got lucky like they made a mistake thats when i flip the switch on put em right in their place They go from angry, frustrated and right before they all break they try a move in desperation like i can't see that coming So i just take em down again and let em up for the fun of it nothing personal but this why i train and I'm loving it Making your parents go silent from just watching you suffering They say that i'm a bad sport...but i disagree Taking it easy on opponents isn't how i succeed you see my standards are so high that i won't even achieve Thats why push it every match until I can't even breath

Verse 1 Let me take you on a journey where the baddestperform Into the oldest sport known since history was born From the leaf to the togas or the modern uniform This survival of the fittest and its in the purest form This is real athletics and the way that they should be With no timeouts, no subs no teams No points from judge discrepancies No fouls, no pads, just you and me Aww no more talk just walk the walk Cuz words cant and wont change once you start So step up to the line, set, on your mark Explosive energy will soon embark Now come on get it banging shots are fueling the spark I'm never backing gotta be moving forward low with a stalk Keep with banging soon with the pressure referee make the call This the realest 7 minutes now you gotta make em hate em all Chorus 1 The training (Youve Got to low voice) The aching Bones breaking Just break em All night All day You gotta break em till they drop The pressure is building Dont slip up Clocks ticking Sweat dripping No Giving You gotta break em till they drop Verse 2 Al-ways stay-ing mo-ti-va-ted drill-ing, lif-ting runn-ing train-ing No ex-cus-es no ex-plain-ing Fo-cus on the goal and take it Now all you outsiders conversate but never understand How this sport is so consuming there aint another thing to plan They say its too much sacrifice like its the only thing I have But to truly read these cards you gotta play with your own hand So for 15 years I guess Ive played the pretty well With some triple royal flushes and a record that I held But my winnings have no value till the final hand is dealt Cuz a champion never stops until they hear the final bell When you master your potential, all distractions have to leave Did you think I went to college just to master my degree? This success of that I speak can only ever be achieved Like the battles on the mat, you gotta break em at the seems Chorus Verse 3 Motion , head snap, high crotch, Reshot Heavy on the head, pass it by, d-d-dont stop Break em this is war so bring everything youve got Establishing a pase thats impossible to block I know these Cauliflower ears just aint a bumps or bruise Cuz the Intensity increases every moment you improve When you see the possibility potentially and do then you would automatically understand me and get the clue Gotta set the preparations handle pressure to succeed cuz A threat to my ambition has the same mentality now your Inside the warrior are your seeing what we see That until my hand gets raised you remain my enemy and If ya stepping up in my circle theres a possibility Im a doing what Im doing I deliver injury Dont close your eyes, Ill catch you dozing on your feet With the Quickest lowest single only pausing on this beat the Clocks Ticking and tocking u gotta stop the heavy breathing with Everything youve ever worked for do you understand the meaning Gotta break em, all the pressure, all the people that believing Gotta finish as the strongest we never fall to be the weakest Now one thing that i know the momnent i opened the door is Go hard or go for broke and if the moment is so Do whatever you gotta do but just dont choke cuz their aint nothing worse than knowing that you mentally broke Chorus

6 in the morning out my bed and I aint even hardly slept Sprint laps start my day off and I'm hating every single step So I find the motivation getting pissed off at myself No more losses no more takedowns aint no running out of breath Obsessed for perfection racing up one direction I'm aiming the top spot and giving it every measure Making you feel the pressure, testing your every vessel Tempted to wanna give up, forgetting every reason that you wrestle But you don't quit… and you know why Cuz on the mat it's only those who live or die Just the old times way before Where we could wrestle make a wager over war!! Chorus This is all the reason And this is why I train There aint no seasons off, I'm out here bleeding man You gotta get it done, you gotta break em all You gotta take and make sure every time you hit the wall This is all the reason And this is why I train There aint no seasons off, I'm out here bleeding man And all of them other sports you better recognize That this the realest sport, now let me tell you why 2nd (TP) Now let me talk about the technical side The moves that I design in quickness every time I combine Competitive edge over anybody that's willing to try Like I'm a Hawkeye flying over you pigeons up in the sky Low single blasting the pressure I'm breaking you every minute They aint worried about the score they just worried if they can finish Let me teach you all the meaning, overcoming the pressure Defending the title or any undefeated record Now if you can't understand… what's the reason That the wrestling community people keep on believing In a sport that takes the most sacrifice and drive When there's barely any spectators watching why do we try Why? Why do we try? Or care so much all the time? Cuz we the only people out there that's keeping this thing alive It's the last form of athletics teaching the kids drive We'll out work anybody and I'll put it on the line (TP) This is all the reason and this is why I train There aint no seasons off, I'm out here bleeding man You gotta get it done, you gotta break em all You gotta take and make sure every time you hit the wall This is all the reason and this is why I train There aint no seasons off, I'm out here bleeding man And all of them other sports you better recognize That this the realest sport, now let me tell you why 3RD (Esco) It's hard for me to put into words just how I feel When I step up on the mat man the feelings so surreal When you stand in front of another man and take him onto war You bust him up he bang you back tell me what you fighting for? Throwing blows in the room man they got me so frustrated And I'm training like a madman I love it but I hate it That's why I stay friends off the mat got be your enemies in the room Never stop never quit tell yourself that this is it Push yourself to the limit and then push a little more The top of the podium is calling you remember what you working for I've been cut open broken nose broken ribs and broken bones Still I stand the hardest man walking (walking) (TP) This is all the reason And this is why I train There aint no seasons off, I'm out here bleeding man You gotta get it done, you gotta break em all You gotta take and make sure every time you hit the wall This is all the reason And this is why I train There aint no seasons off, I'm out here bleeding man And al of them other sports you better recognize That this the realest sport, now let me tell you why

I can vividly remember the state of mind i was in everytime i started tripping my tolerance giving in most certainly times of pain seem stand out to me more But all of these moments that I ever speak of no one thats normal would ever explore Not just the typical day to day or physical struggles of being sore I'm talking about something more praying to the lord That you can maybe break a sweat and force the water out your pores Just make it through the practice without falling on the floor seperated from society we sacrifice the norm, So exausted .. Feel like this is all I can take Calculating how much weight that I can float through the day Just see if theres a chance that I can get something to drink And Even thanksgiving I measure how much foods on my plate and Another reason this is the realest always was and gonna be is No matter how many programs they drop to try and beat us if you don't Iike all of you bastards move along This aint no fun and games like basketball Chorus Waking up at 4am For another workout so I hit the gym While inside I feel like dying These days of cutting weight Are raining down on my parade Barley any food left on my plate But I don't break I won't break

Verse 1 Walking through the halls while i'm looking at these plaques On the wall all these athletes gazing through the past Thinking how their pictures faded they can never get it back The past gone so fast that nobody ever last Then I walk into the room with the aroma of the mats Thinking to myself I enevitably crash Done cutting weight yeah I'm done with my fast But there something about the feeling you dont know how to react So you tell yourself ....your not done giving up Get your self in shape...while your still young enough Missing 3 a days like it was never rough enough Something about this rough and rugged sport this is what I love Sacrificed everything now your telling me I'm done But I never met my goals.... that last match I should won Know my body aint the same I'm having trouble hanging on To my youth ...but I gotta carry on But coaching aint the same as competing I know that This tranisition in my life is definate blow back So back to finding some other goals I wont slack But until that moment happens I'm keeping this door cracked Chorus Don't Stop Don't Ya Stop (Repeat) How you ever gonna live this down You won't give up but don't know how
