[Intro]
Yeah
Look at me now
You asked if we’d make it
Watch this
[Verse 1]
Lunchbox dreams
On a hand-me-down bike
You said “go big”
So I learned how to fight
Not with fists
But with long nights, sore eyes
Turned every “maybe”
To a war cry
Every test
Every coach said “sit”
So I broke that bench
Till it didn’t fit
Whole heart burning
Like a lit fuse, kid
All in, all day
That’s the way we live
[Pre-Chorus]
You in that faded photo
Grass stain on your knee
You wanted something brutal
You wanted more from me
[Chorus]
I’m a competitive beast
I don’t back down
I’m the storm you unleashed
From that small town
Every scar on my skin
Is your belief in my grin
I’m just trying to impress
The kid I’ve always been
Dominate life
Dominate life
[Verse 2]
Used to get clowned
For the big talk, loud
Now I sign checks
While they blend in crowds
Put my heart on the line
Like a jersey number
Every loss just fed
That hunger
You said “don’t quit
When it starts to ache”
So I turned that pain
Into pressure I take
Like weight on a bar
Stacked high, no fear
I raised my own bar
Then I left it right here
[Pre-Chorus]
You in that crooked haircut
Shoes halfway untied
You wanted something savage
You wanted bigger strides
[Chorus]
I’m a competitive beast
I don’t back down
I’m the storm you unleashed
From that small town
Every scar on my skin
Is your belief in my grin
I’m just trying to impress
The kid I’ve always been
Dominate life
Dominate life
[Bridge]
Look at me
Do I make you proud? (hey!)
Would you cheer my name
If you saw me now?
I took every “can’t”
Lit it like a match
Threw it in the fire
Watched it turn to ash
[Chorus]
I’m a competitive beast
I don’t back down
I’m the storm you unleashed
From that small town
Every scar on my skin
Is your belief in my grin
I’m just trying to impress
The kid I’ve always been
Dominate life
Dominate life (yeah)
Dominate life
