[Verse] Boy you’re running wild Tearing through the night Got fire in your chest but no aim for the fight The world’s a heavy hammer You gotta swing it true Don’t let it break you down or turn you into blue [Chorus] You gotta be the baddest The one they call at dawn The man who gets it done when the hope is all but gone King of the mountain with dirt on your hands Raise your chin Young boy Gotta grow into a man [Verse 2] Don’t take no easy silver Don’t barter for a lie Stand for something real or just let it all pass by Dig deep into the soil where the roots find their birth Build a name they’ll whisper round every inch of earth [Chorus] You gotta be the baddest The one they call at dawn The man who gets it done when the hope is all but gone King of the mountain with dirt on your hands Raise your chin Young boy Gotta grow into a man [Bridge] Let ‘em hear your boots strike like thunder on the stone Carve your mark across this land Let it shake to the bone Respect ain't given easy but boy It's gonna last If you lead with your heart and learn from your past [Chorus] You gotta be the baddest The one they call at dawn The man who gets it done when the hope is all but gone King of the mountain with dirt on your hands Raise your chin Young boy Gotta grow into a man
