From undrafted to talk of the league
From afterthought to all over TV
I tell you hard work is the key, but uh
This is what can happen when you dream
I'm Jeremy Lin
From undrafted to talk of the league
From afterthought to all over TV
I tell you hard work is the key, but uh
This is what can happen when you dream
I'm Jeremy Lin
[Verse 1]
Six foot three, with a four two
Grade point average, not vertical
Overlooked by every single team
But never once did he let it hamper his dream
First in the gym, last one done
Proving hard work pays off in the long run
k**ed em' in the previous summer
Dropped a career high when coach finally called his number

[Verse 2]
Cut off the roster from Golden State
Knew his time was coming, so he chose to wait
Never know when you gonna get up in the game
But he made his moment count in the biggest of ways
New York City, the worlds greatest stage
Twenty thousand rabid fans scream his name
Wasn't recruited for his ball sk**s
Now you gotta wonder how they all feel
Didn't quit, he only worked harder
Went from Harvard graduate to NBA starter
The haters gonna hate and call him lucky
Best Ivy Leaguer in the league, sorry Chris Dudley
Must be some kinda desire
To make everybody who doubted you out to be a liar
And even if it only lasts a moment
Jeremy Lin took it and owned it
You gotta respect it
