Clint Dempsey - Don't Tread lyrics

[Intro] In the beginning, we were those kids That played on the dirt fields But with determenation We came from the bottom And rose to the top We chased and grabbed Ahold of our dreams Now we play on the fields Where the gra** is greens And we can tell by the Looks on their face When they find out what the Dream is we chased They hate But we as a team Have a phrase we say when Negativity comes our way Don't tread on this [Verse 1] Game took hold like the roots of a tree Think soccer ain't a sport? Then why'd NIKE sign me? Cause I got on my job And made the game ferocious I was born with a drive I got that from no coaches Big Hawk and Deuce Spitting truth in the booth Stop drop and role I brings down the roof Got nothing to lose And everything to prove Don't change the mood Cause we done payed our dues Best to give way For the USA Now we're hot You might think we're a sun ray In over your heads Southside, we fed This is life and I'm grinding Until I'm dead Thanks to DJ Screw This ain't Friday night lights But I got the infrared Yeah and you already know Beggars on the shoes Big hulk came through [Hook] Everybody out your seat Bob your head to this Real recognize real We was bred for this The dream is real Don't tread on this We live the dream Don't tread on this Everybody out your seat Bob your head to this Real recognize real We was bred for this The dream is real Don't tread on this We live the dream Don't tread on this [Verse 2] See I'm a just do it like Nike Spit it so nicely When I'm done some ain't gon' like me I'm a try to say it politely So I might come across a tad bit feisty Check my resume and see What I've done I'm official like the Check on my AF1 From the slums Raised off noth'n but crumbs I don't want none And look what I've become Ahuh ahuh I'm a just keep it real And my brother's ghetto dreams Will be fulfilled And on the field Deuce gonna show his sk**s Wheel to wheel for real And so I feel My balls are real So home boy please Don't tempt me Or I'll cross you over like the Great Clint Dempsey The rhyme is simple so Please don't tread on this This is soccer and rap With a screwed up twist [Hook] Everybody out your seat Bob your head to this Real recognize real We was bred for this The dream is real Don't tread on this We live the dream Don't tread on this Everybody out your seat Bob your head to this Real recognize real We was bred for this The dream is real Don't tread on this We live the dream Don't tread on this [Verse 3] Don't wake a sleeping giant Unless you wanna see him pissed Though I'm quick with my feet You ain't seen the fist It'd be a one hitter quitter Then cla** dismissed Better think twice before you Try and tread on this Games hard on the street Cause with no shoes on their feet Winning satisfies hunger They don't need to eat Yeah we came here to learn But we're starting to teach Cause we stood in the shadows Now you can see Haters wanna hate But man I'm feeling great Thanks to soccer I'm around more ice Then a hockey skate More cash than's in a bank No need for ya'll to rate I done cut the yard And threw the trash away In the south we got the game on lock More game than a game co*k In Texas we plead block Straight close up shop I'm gettin twisted Steppin on rough You think we trippin'? Check the stats yourself [Hook] Everybody out your seat Bob your head to this Real recognize real We was bred for this The dream is real Don't tread on this We live the dream Don't tread on this Everybody out your seat Bob your head to this Real recognize real We was bred for this The dream is real Don't tread on this We live the dream Don't tread on this
