Lyrics
[INTRO] Oh no…
Nah nah nah
Why the music dramatic already??
I wasn’t mentally prepared for this battle cinematically
[VERSE 1] Walked into Victory Road accidentally confident
Now suddenly everybody calling me “promising” and stuff again
One lucky crit got me too far honestly
Now the game acting like I belong here professionally
Healing items running low spiritually
Whole team surviving purely off friendship and instability
My rival said:
> “You actually made it.”
Brother I know
That’s what terrifying me currently
Cause I never planned this far ahead mentally
I thought I’d lose around gym six respectfully
Now the Champion music swelling aggressively
And every NPC talking inspirationally next to me
I hate when games believe in me prematurely
That pressure hit different emotionally
[HOOK] Champion music started too early
Now my confidence leaving urgently
Champion music started too early
Everybody expecting greatness from me suddenly
I got fear
I got doubt
I got one Full Restore and it’s stressing me out
Champion music started too early
This feel wrong somehow
I’m one battle away from greatness and a breakdown
[VERSE 2] The hallway before the battle felt horrifying
Every step sounding motivational and life-defining
Even my Pokémon looking at me seriously
Like:
> “Bro you got us here mysteriously.”
I started giving speeches nervously
Halfway through forgot what I was saying emotionally
Tried checking type matchups secretly
Hands shaking so bad I dropped the Pokédex repeatedly
And why the Champion room so dramatic?
Big glowing arena like unemployment consequences attached to it
Music getting louder every second mentally
Soundtrack basically screaming:
> “DON’T EMBARRASS YOURSELF PUBLICLY.”
Meanwhile I’m calculating if we survive one Earthquake realistically
That’s not Champion behavior traditionally
[HOOK] Champion music started too early
Now I’m pacing anxiously
Champion music started too early
Cause deep down I still feel underleveled mentally
I got stress
I got scars
I got a starter Pokémon carrying me this far
Champion music started too early
Still walking though
Terrified the whole time but refusing to go home
[OUTRO — Spoken] You know what nobody tells you?
Sometimes your biggest fear isn’t failure
It’s accidentally succeeding…
then having to prove you deserved it afterward
Also my team average level definitely too low for this respectfully
Nobody up here knows I’m winging it
These Elite Four members looking at me like:
> “Ah yes… a worthy challenger.”
Brother I used a Max Revive by accident three rooms ago
I’m not worthy
I’m surviving creatively
But somewhere along the way
my team stopped caring whether I looked confident or not
They just kept battling anyway
Even when I made terrible decisions
Even when I almost quit
Even when I forgot type matchups under pressure completely
They still believed we had a shot somehow
That’s kinda terrifying emotionally actually
Cause now I gotta walk through those doors and see if they right or not
“…Oh man we are NOT leveled enough for this.”
