[Verse 1]
They used to count me out
Now I count it up
Minds on the crown
Hands in the cut
Cold on the steps
Still I never fold
If the room went quiet
I made that gold
Paper on paper
I turned pain to proof
Look at the scar on me
That’s the truth
Feet on the floor
But I move like I’m late
I came from the bottom
Then I cracked the gate
[Pre-Chorus]
I heard the doubt
I wore it thin
Now they all lean in
When I walk in
One name, one fate
One shot, one crown
If I was the seed
I’m the whole tree now
[Chorus]
The chosen one won
The chosen one won
Say it out loud
The chosen one won
I made my way
I took my turn
The chosen one won
Watch the world learn
[Verse 2]
No handout luck
No silver spoon
Just a hard-cut plan
And a hard-faced moon
I kept my word
When the noise got loud
Built my own lane
Through the whole damn crowd
They want that shine
But they skip the climb
I took every hit
And I kept my time
Now every step
Got a stamp on it
Every old doubt
Got a cramp in it
[Pre-Chorus]
I heard the doubt
I wore it thin
Now they all lean in
When I walk in
One name, one fate
One shot, one crown
If I was the seed
I’m the whole tree now
[Chorus]
The chosen one won
The chosen one won
Say it out loud
The chosen one won
I made my way
I took my turn
The chosen one won
Watch the world learn
[Bridge]
I was the last pick
Now I’m first in line
Had to lose my fear
Just to own my time
No luck in my blood
Just a furnace burn
Every scar I kept
Made the tables turn
[Chorus]
The chosen one won
The chosen one won
Say it out loud
The chosen one won
I made my way
I took my turn
The chosen one won
Watch the world learn
