The Map and the Flame

Verse 1

Sold out stadiums from my old small porch

Flipping pennies

Made my mother weep when I bought her house

Finally built some proof

Cruising by the gym where they mocked my frame

Lanky boy with big dreams

They look at me and they learn my name

Moving through the seams

Pre-Chorus

Building up the legacy

Showing out for history

I climbed

I won

I lead

Chorus

Setting a path for the girls in the race

Leading the pace

Showing the world what it takes to be brave

Living my life like the luckiest one

Getting it done

Victory

Victory

Victory

Post-Chorus

Oh oh

I got the crown now

Oh oh

Verse 2

Ripped up sneakers sit by silk on the racks

Humble beginnings

The neighborhood cage used to hold me back

Keeping count of the winnings

My niece is looking at the top of the tower

Seeing it clearly

Watch her reclaim all of that hidden power

Working sincerely

Pre-Chorus

Building up the legacy

Showing out for history

I climbed

I won

I lead

Chorus

Setting a path for the girls in the race

Leading the pace

Showing the world what it takes to be brave

Living my life like the luckiest one

Getting it done

Victory

Victory

Victory

Post-Chorus

Oh oh

I got the crown now

Oh oh

Bridge

Working through the graveyard shifts

Taking all the bitter hits

Vision was a sharpening stone

Grinding til I stand alone

I took the mud

I took the blame

I made the map

I lit the flame

Chorus

Setting a path for the girls in the race

Leading the pace

Showing the world what it takes to be brave

Living my life like the luckiest one

Getting it done

Victory

Victory

Victory

Post-Chorus

Oh oh

I got the crown now

Oh oh

The blueprint is me

Yeah

Oh oh
