Heisman Again

Intro (Sports talk radio samples faintly layered) “Can he repeat?” “Back-to-back Heisman?” “Is he already the favorite?” (Soft piano riff drops into steady drum groove.) ⸻ Verse 1 They saying my name in October Like it’s already sealed Like trophies get engraved Before December’s even real They comparing stats weekly Stacking numbers side by side Like leadership can be graphed Like hunger can be quantified I already felt that stage once Snow falling in New York But chasing that same moment twice Can mess with your core You start thinking headlines Instead of thinking reads Start pressing throws Instead of trusting what you see ⸻ Pre-Chorus Awards don’t win games And hype don’t make throws If you chase validation You forget what you know ⸻ Chorus Heisman again? That’s what they ask Like greatness repeats Just ‘cause you’ve done it in the past Heisman again? They love that sound But I’m not playing For another round If it comes It comes from within Not chasing a trophy Just chasing the win ⸻ Verse 2 Ashley said, “Block it out.” Coach said, “Stay the same.” Captain don’t chase spotlight He protects the flame You don’t defend a crown By staring at your shelf You defend it by forgetting You ever won it yourself I see the younger guys watching How I handle the praise If I get caught up in ego It sets the wrong ways So I step back from the noise From the rankings and spin You don’t repeat history By chasing it again ⸻ Pre-Chorus Focus is fragile Ego is loud The second you listen You lose to the crowd ⸻ Chorus Heisman again? They can debate They can push narratives They can speculate But I’m chasing discipline I’m chasing control Not a statue in bronze Or my name on a poll Heisman again? If it’s meant, it’ll be But the real repeat Is consistency ⸻ Bridge (Music strips to piano + bass pulse) From December snow To October heat From holding that trophy To grinding on repeat I don’t need validation To know who I’ve been If I win it again It’ll start with the win ⸻ Final Chorus (Lifted, Wider Instrumentation) Heisman again? That’s not my goal I want domination In body and soul If my name’s called twice That’s icing on top But I’m built for the grind Not built for the prop Heisman again? Let ‘em talk loud I’m chasing the standard Not chasing the crowd ⸻ Outro (Radio chatter fades out) Yeah… Same hunger.
