[Intro] [Bass Intro] (Yeah...) (Every neighborhood...) (Got two roads...) (One choice...) [Verse 1 | Deep Baritone Male Voice #1 | RAP] A man named Judas... Learned the hard way Thirty pieces of silver Can steal tomorrow for today Every block's got that story Just wears a different face Fast money... Quick respect... Easy roads... Amazing grace I've seen brothers chase a name That disappeared overnight Trade tomorrow's freedom... For one more Friday night Every corner's got a bargain That costs more than it shows By the time you count the price... Everybody already knows [Hook | Smooth Tenor Male Voice #2 | Sung] There's a 12th Chair~ Still waitin' there~ One life... One choice~ Who'll answer... When hope calls your name~ [Verse 2 | Deep Baritone Male Voice #1 | RAP] Then there was Matthias... Nobody knew his name Just stood ready When the moment came Didn't chase attention Didn't fight for fame He simply filled the place When somebody walked away Every neighborhood needs somebody Willin' to stand that ground Not for applause... Just because... Some kid's still lookin' around [Verse 3 | Deep Baritone Male Voice #1 | RAP] Big Mike found one... Leon did too... Ray... Marcus... Curt... Every one of 'em walked it through Now Zay's standin' here D's still writin' songs Every kid inside that gym Already knows they belong This ain't just our story It belongs to all of us Every hand that lifts another Earns somebody's trust [Hook | Smooth Tenor Male Voice #2 | Sung] There's a 12th Chair~ Still waitin' there~ One life... One choice~ Who'll answer... When hope calls your name~ [Verse 4 | Deep Baritone Male Voice #1 | RAP] Maybe you're that coach Maybe you're that friend Maybe you're the reason Somebody don't give in Maybe years from now Some young kid'll say... "You believed in me... When nobody else did that day." That's how neighborhoods change Not all at once One open door One conversation One more chair Filled. [Final Hook | Smooth Tenor Male Voice #2 | Sung] There's a 12th Chair~ Still waitin' there~ Stand up... Step in~ Leave this world... Better than you've found it~ (Yeah...) (The chair's waitin'...) (Who's next...)
