Championship Mat

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Friday night in the old gym Tape on my wrists, chalk on my hands Bleachers packed tight, first whistle blows One shot, one shot, one stand He came out mean, all muscle and fire I kept my feet, kept my eyes on the prize Coach on the edge, yelling my name I felt that roar go straight through my spine [Pre-Chorus] Circle left Dig in, don't fold One more snap And break that hold [Chorus] State champ, state champ Raise that belt high State champ, state champ We don't back down tonight Mat to the floor And the whole place shakes State champ, state champ We take what it takes [Verse 2] Blood on the mouthguard, sweat in my eyes Twenty seconds left, the crowd went wild He shot low, I spun him around Pulled him over hard and drove him down Final whistle cut like a steel-string scream Coach jumped the rail like he'd lost his mind Hands in the air, lights in the stands That bracket turned to a piece of my life [Pre-Chorus] Circle left Dig in, don't fold One more snap And break that hold [Chorus] State champ, state champ Raise that belt high State champ, state champ We don't back down tonight Mat to the floor And the whole place shakes State champ, state champ We take what it takes [Bridge] I heard every doubt Every kid who said I can't I turned that noise Into a hammer in my hands One last breath Then I went full speed When the crowd screamed out It was the whole town in me [Chorus] State champ, state champ Raise that belt high State champ, state champ We don't back down tonight Mat to the floor And the whole place shakes State champ, state champ We take what it takes [Outro] State champ, state champ (state champ) Hands up high (hands up high) State champ, state champ We own the night
