A Cut Above (Avery Watts)

Here’s what it looks like (Looks like) Being the best What it looks like, to be a cut above the rest Nobody understands what it takes to be the man Having every single person say you can’t when you can To give up everything you’ve ever known for a dream And never stop the fight no matter how hard it seems You sacrifice, you bleed, you sweat, and you cry Doing everything you can not to lay down and die When you fall and you call out; there’s no one to help So you’ve got no other option but to pick up yourself At the end of the battle you’re the only one standing Everyone watching, the stage you’re commanding The pages of history will speak of today And when they talk about the champion This is what they’ll say: People will break you right down to nothing if you let ‘em They say, “There’s a million others like you, what makes you better?” But remember that these folks are afraid of the unknown They’re the ones who wet the bed if they go 10 miles from home "Stay Down!" is what they scream in your ear The only weapon that they have to use is fear So you take all the beatings and you take all the hits, But your back on your feet for more, you don’t quit You’ll never back down, never stop, never pause Never give up, never sacrifice the cause This is your life, you gonna let somebody take it? Look in the mirror: That’s all you need to make it The smoke has all cleared, and you own the thrown You’re king of the castle, and everybody knows They bow in your presence, and fear your might Cause they know for damn sure what it, what it..
