[Intro — spoken soft then builds] There is a version of you that already has everything you’re working toward. This is how you become him. [Verse 1] I close my eyes and I see him clearly The version of me that everyone will know nearly Before I get there I have to build the bridge One rep one shot one drill one ridge At a time climbing toward who I’m becoming Not rushing it not forcing it just running My own race at my own pace with my own fire The future version of me is who I aspire [Pre-Chorus] He wakes up early He puts in the work He doesn’t flinch when it’s hard He doesn’t break when it hurts If I want to be him I have to live like him Starting right now Starting today Starting here [Chorus] I’m becoming I’m becoming Every day a little closer to who I’m meant to be I’m becoming I’m becoming Shedding everything that’s keeping me from being free I’m becoming I’m becoming And the work on this floor is what’s making me I’m becoming I’m becoming [Verse 2] Visualization meets perspiration right here On this court in this moment crystal clear I see the pull up before I take it I see the finish before I make it I see the version of me who never doubts Who moves through pressure and finds a way out Because I’ve practiced this I’ve rehearsed this moment A thousand times in silence before I own it [Pre-Chorus] He wakes up early He puts in the work He doesn’t flinch when it’s hard He doesn’t break when it hurts If I want to be him I have to live like him Starting right now Starting today Starting here [Chorus] I’m becoming I’m becoming Every day a little closer to who I’m meant to be I’m becoming I’m becoming Shedding everything that’s keeping me from being free I’m becoming I’m becoming And the work on this floor is what’s making me I’m becoming I’m becoming [Bridge — reflective and powerful] The gap between who I am and who I’m becoming Is not a failure It’s a direction It tells me where to walk It tells me what to work on It tells me what the next rep is for Every single shot I take is closing that gap I am not who I was I am not yet who I will be But I am becoming And becoming is enough [Verse 3] Last set of the day and I feel it in my soul The becoming is real I can feel myself grow Not just physically but mentally emotionally Every version of resistance I’m defeating slowly And when I walk off this floor today I’ll be closer Than I was when I walked on And that’s the whole point That’s the whole purpose That’s the whole song [Extended Chorus] I’m becoming I’m becoming Every day a little closer to who I’m meant to be I’m becoming I’m becoming Shedding everything that’s keeping me from being free I’m becoming I’m becoming And the work on this floor is what’s making me I’m becoming I’m becoming Becoming Becoming Becoming [Outro — soft spoken over fading beat] You are not who you were. You are not yet who you will be. But you are becoming. And every rep you take is proof. Keep going.
