Hands wrapped, knuckles taped black

Pick my gloves up off the mat

Fighting′s all I ever hadWasn't born with tons of gifts

Had to work hard as a kid

Know that everything I did

Was to catch the other kids

Slowly built that self-esteem

Turned myself to a machine

I′d compete so I'd be seen

I would lose and I'd succeed

But you′d never see me quit

I′d always get after it

Knew I had a different gift

I'd outwork any other kid

Deep within our souls

We can feel there′s something empty

We need something more

I feel destiny, she tempts me

Tells me there's two paths

They both have a different ending

Choose wise and you′ll find that

Pain leads to ascending

'Til I′m dead and buried deep within a cemetery

I will fight, never wary, I wanna be legendary

'Til I'm dead and buried deep within a cemetery

I will fight, never wary, I wanna be legendary

(I wanna be legendary)

(I wanna be legendary)

Coming outta the gate, I′ll be last place

And that′s alright, I don't work at a fast pace

I′m the steady horse creeping up straight passing

And once I pass you, no one's getting past me

I′ve seen people hit walls and they stop there

I don't get that mind man, it sounds scared

Good things take time, better prepare

′Cause anything great takes pain and some fear

Take it from me 'cause I got to this place

Where no one can tell me to do anything

I call my own shots, I call my own plays

I enjoy my life almost everyday

And I could teach you if you listen to me

You follow some rules, don't need gifts to be paid

Persistence is better than brains any day

Just listen to me and I′ll show you the way

Deep within our souls

We can feel there′s something empty

We need something more

I feel destiny, she tempts me

Tells me there's two paths

They both have a different ending

Choose wise and you′ll find that

Pain leads to ascending

'Til I′m dead and buried deep within a cemetery

I will fight, never wary, I wanna be legendary

'Til I′m dead and buried deep within a cemetery

I will fight, never wary, I wanna be legendary

I wanna be legendary

'Til I'm dead and buried deep within a cemetery

I will fight, never wary, I wanna be legendary

′Til I′m dead and buried deep within a cemetery

I will fight, never wary, I wanna be legendary

(I wanna be legendary)

(I wanna be legendary)
