THIS JOURNEY
THIS JOURNEY
MORE THAN A VERTICAL LEAP AND A TIME IN THE FORTY
IT'S MORE THAN A SET OF PADS A HELMET AND A JERSEY
IT'S MORE ABOUT KNOWING YA PREDECESSORS AND RE-WRITING HIS-TORY
NOT TO SOUND CLICHE' BUT, THIS HERE, ITS BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS YA HEARD ME
THIS JOURNEY
THIS JOURNEY IS A LONG ONE
SOME GET IN IT FOR THE RIGHT REASONS SOME THE WRONG ONES
WILL IT ALL BE WORTH IT IN THE LONG RUN?
I MEAN, YOU SAY ITS ABOUT THE RING BUT HOW BAD DO YOU REALLY WANT ONE??
YOU KNOW THE STAKES DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES??
DO YOU SEE YOURSELF AS YOUR ONLY COMPETITION??
DO YOU SEE THE DEPTH CHART ARE YOU IN BATTLE FOR THAT TOP POSITION
OR IS YOUR SET IN STONE CUZ I REALLY FORGOT TO MENTION
THERE'S A ROOKIE GAINING PROPS HE'S HOT
WITH EVERY PLAY HE WATCH AND EVERY NOTE HE JOTS HE'S TRYING TO TAKE YA SPOT
FIGURES ALL HE NEEDS IS A SHOT
HE THINKS HIS TIME'S COMING
WATCHING YOU WATCHING THE CLOCK
TICK TOCK
THIS JOURNEY
IS MORE THAN GOAL POST DUNKS AND TOUCHDOWN DANCES
ITS MORE ABOUT THAT PASSION
LONG HOURS TRYING TO FIND EVERY ADVANTAGE
EXPLOITING MIS-MATCHES
TAKING CHANCES
3 WOULD BE COOL 7 WOULD BE GIGANTIC
CROWD FRANTIC
YOU BEEN PUSHING THE RIGHT bu*tONS ALL GAME
JUST DON'T PUSH THE ONE THAT SAYS PANIC
EITHER WAY UR ONE PLAY FROM MEDIOCRITY OR MAGIC
THIS JOURNEY
AND EVERYTHING THAT COMES WITH IT IS TEMPORARY
EXCEPT YOUR NAME WHEN IT BECOMES SYNONYMOUS WITH LEGENDARY
FOR THAT ONE MONUMENTAL MOMENT IN FEBRUARY
AND WHEN YOU LOOK THRU THE CONFETTI ON THE STAGE YOU'RE STANDING ON
REFLECT ON FAMILY THANK YA POPS AND THANKS YA MOMS
THANK THE 52 OTHER GENTLEMEN WITH WHOM YOU NOW SHARE AN EVERLASTING BOND
AS YOU ENTER THE PANTHEON OF CHAMPIONS
REMEMBER THE JOURNEY
