Intro — calm then ignites] Some people play this game. Some people live it. I live it. Every single day. [Verse 1] This isn’t a hobby this is a calling This isn’t a pastime this is a falling In love with something so deep and so true That the game becomes a part of everything you do The way you move the way you think the way you see The way you solve problems is basketball to me Reading angles finding gaps making decisions fast This game taught me everything and I intend to make it last [Pre-Chorus] I don’t just play I study I don’t just shoot I learn I don’t just show up I commit And every lesson I earn [Chorus] This is my game This is my floor This is the place I come back to when I need something more This is my craft This is my art This is the language that I speak straight from my heart This is my game [Verse 2] The fingerprints I leave on this ball tell a story Every callus on my hands is inventory Of the hours I have poured into this passion Of the mornings I chose movement over rations Of sleep of comfort of the easy road I chose the gym I chose the grind I chose to grow I am a student of this game for life And every session here is tuition I pay right [Pre-Chorus] I don’t just play I study I don’t just shoot I learn I don’t just show up I commit And every lesson I earn [Chorus] This is my game This is my floor This is the place I come back to when I need something more This is my craft This is my art This is the language that I speak straight from my heart This is my game [Bridge — deep and personal] You ever find something That makes you feel like yourself Something that when you’re doing it Nothing else matters Not the noise not the problems not the weight of the world Just you and the thing And for me that thing Is this game This floor This ball This is where I exhale This is where I arrive [Verse 3] I will play this game until my body says no And even then I’ll be courtside watching it grow I’ll be passing it down to the next generation Teaching them what this game teaches patience That hard work is real that discipline is freedom That showing up matters that believing has a reason I am basketball and basketball is me And I work on this floor because it sets me free [Extended Chorus] This is my game This is my floor This is the place I come back to when I need something more This is my craft This is my art This is the language that I speak straight from my heart This is my game My game My game This is my game [Outro — heartfelt spoken fading] This game gave me everything. A work ethic. A focus. A home. I don’t take a single rep for granted. Not one. This is my game.
