BJJ Belts

Started on the mat with a white wrapped tight

No idea how to roll or how to fight

Learned to survive in the crush of the grind

So many crotches

But I left them behind

From white to blue

Then purple's in sight

Stripes on the belt

Man

It feels so right

Work in the dark

But I shine in the light

Earning my belts

Yeah

I’m built to fight

Blue was a mountain

The climb was so steep

Tapped out often but found guts in the deep

Passed the guard

Felt my game ignite

Pressure's my power

Now I’m taking flight

From white to blue

Then purple's in sight

Stripes on the belt

Man

It feels so right

Work in the dark

But I shine in the light

Earning my belts

Yeah

I’m built to fight

Sweat-soaked mats and a burning desire

Dodging triangles

Escaping the fire

Every roll's a lesson

Every choke's a test

Drive won't let me stop; I'm chasing what's next

Now purple hangs proud

But there's miles to go

More wars to win if I want that black glow

Every stripe’s a scar earned in the fight

BJJ’s the language where I found my might
