Intro Yeah State title night Whole city lit Crowd so loud make the air feel thick Eye black on, got the tape pulled tight And I can feel my whole damn life in this state title night Verse 1 Locker room cold but my blood ran hot Every voice in the hall knew exactly what’s at stake tonight Pads all strapped, chin high, mouthpiece set City on my shoulders and I ain’t even blink yet Bishop Gorman gold in the tunnel smoke Young king in the dark with a dream and a choke Not fear, just that pressure when the moment gets real When you know after tonight, shit’ll never sit still Cameras on the sideline, flashes in my face Every damn reporter want a quote, want the take Want the school, want the hat, want the “where you gon’ go?” But first I got a state ring to rip from the throat I can hear Vegas breathin’ in the stands tonight Every doubter, every teacher, every scar in sight Every run from the past got me wound up mean Like the whole damn desert put its hands on my cleats Pre-Chorus Yeah, this ain’t just a game This a line in the sand Boy turns to a man When he still can command All that noise in his head All that heat in the light And I swear I felt fate In that state title night Chorus State title night Blood in the air Whole world watchin’ I can feel that stare Lights burn white Heart stay mean This the kind of night Make a myth out a dream State title night Crowd on fire Legs still churnin’ Soul ride higher One more game Then I say what’s right But first I gotta eat On this state title night Verse 2 Ball in my gut and the field split wide Hit the hole like I owed every inch of my life Helmets bounced, bodies dropped, crowd lost they mind I was runnin’ like the future had a hand in my spine Every cut got violence Every stiff-arm spoke Every yard felt holy through the sweat and the smoke This ain’t backyard braggin’, this ain’t internet cap This that strap-it-up and put your whole name on your back And the scoreboard glowin’ like judgment itself No room for half-heart, no help from nobody else Just trust in the work and the fire in my chest And the truth that real pressure pull the real from the rest I saw little kids starin’ like I used to do Saw old heads noddin’ like they already knew That a night like this don’t come gentle or twice It either crowns your name or it cuts you for life Pre-Chorus Yeah, this ain’t just a game This a weight you inherit Every dream I been chasin’ Had to pass through this square in it And somewhere past the noise Past the crowd and the fight I could feel what was comin’ In that state title night Chorus State title night Blood in the air Whole world watchin’ I can feel that stare Lights burn white Heart stay mean This the kind of night Make a myth out a dream State title night Crowd on fire Legs still churnin’ Soul ride higher One more game Then I say what’s right But first I gotta eat On this state title night Bridge And when the clock got thin And the sky felt close I could hear all them Saturdays Talkin’ like ghosts Could hear mama’s prayers Could hear that crimson call Could hear Ashley’s voice Somewhere underneath it all But this moment was mine No school, no crowd No cameras, no hats No outside loud Just me and the truth And the work and the fight Findin’ out who I was On that state title night Breakdown Yeah Gold on my chest Smoke in the sky Vegas in my blood And Oklahoma on my mind One last run One last strike Then the whole damn world Gon’ know by tonight Final Chorus State title night Blood in the air Whole world watchin’ I can feel that stare Lights burn white Heart stay mean This the kind of night Make a myth out a dream State title night Crowd on fire Legs still churnin’ Soul ride higher One more game Then I say what’s right But first I gotta eat On this state title night Outro Yeah Final whistle ring And the dark got still Sometimes one night show you exactly who you is And I stood in that glow Beat up, baptized by the fight Ready to change my whole damn life On that state title night
