Better On The Ball

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah, step onto the pitch, hear the whole ground rise One name on the shirt, fire in the eyes [Verse 1] I trained before sunrise, boots by the door Turned every little setback into one goal more Headers in the air, free kicks bend and fly When the match gets tight, I’m the reason nerves go quiet You count your trophies, I count every climb Built this from the hours when nobody watched my grind Speed in the open, power in the box Ninety minutes later, watch the whole scoreboard talk [Chorus] I’m better on the ball, better when it matters Better in the air, watch the defense scatter Messi’s got his magic, I respect what he can do But when the whistle blows, I’m coming through Football and the spotlight, I own both sides Work ethic, winners’ heart, number on my pride Call it confidence, call it what you please I came to take the game—and everything with ease [Verse 2] I bring the celebration, cameras chase the frame Every stadium remembers when I signed my name Big nights, bright pressure, still I want the crown Give me one clean chance and I’ll turn the match around Not just talent—discipline, day after day A body built for battle and a mind that won’t sway From the first whistle ringing to the final attack If you think I’m finished, I’m already coming back [Bridge] This is friendly banter, let the rivalry breathe Two great players, but tonight believe The crown is on my head, the challenge is clear I’m raising up the standard every single year [Chorus] I’m better on the ball, better when it matters Better in the air, watch the defense scatter Messi’s got his magic, I respect what he can do But when the whistle blows, I’m coming through Football and the spotlight, I own both sides Work ethic, winners’ heart, number on my pride Call it confidence, call it what you please I came to take the game—and everything with ease [Outro] Boots by the door, medal in the case Still chasing one more night, one more race The debate can roll on, let the whole world see I play to be remembered—greatness belongs to me
