(Verse 1)
Yo, it’s the moment, time to strike first,
No fear, no backin' down, I’m here to burst,
I’ve been waitin’ for this, puttin’ in the work,
Now it’s my time to make the whole world hurt.
Came from the bottom, climbed through the dirt,
Now I’m shining bright, never one to flirt,
With defeat, nah, I’m playin’ it alert,
Strike first, hit ‘em like I’m throwin’ the first word.
(Chorus)
Strike first, don’t wait for the fall,
I’m takin’ my shot, I’m breakin’ down the wall,
Strike first, yeah, I’m standin’ tall,
I won’t back down, I'm answerin' the call.
(Verse 2)
I move fast, ain’t no time to waste,
I’m chasing the dream, never second place,
I’m all in, got the fire and the taste,
Of victory, got that hunger, won’t erase.
They said I couldn’t, they said I wouldn’t rise,
But I’m out here grindin’, I’m catchin’ them by surprise,
I don’t wait for a sign, I take it to the skies,
Strike first, never lookin’ in their eyes.
(Chorus)
Strike first, don’t wait for the fall,
I’m takin’ my shot, I’m breakin’ down the wall,
Strike first, yeah, I’m standin’ tall,
I won’t back down, I'm answerin' the call.
(Bridge)
They ain’t ready for the fire I’m bringin’,
I’m hit 'em with the move, got ‘em second-guessin’,
Every step I take, I’m steadily progressin’,
Strike first, it’s a message I’m expressin’.
(Verse 3)
Now they know the name, they see what I’m about,
I move with precision, ain’t no doubt,
Started from the bottom, now I’m makin’ ‘em shout,
Strike first, I’m the one they can’t figure out.
I don’t wait for the clock, I make my own time,
Got my eyes on the prize, always in my prime,
The grind never stops, I’m reachin’ for the climb,
Strike first, now it’s my time to shine.
(Chorus)
Strike first, don’t wait for the fall,
I’m takin’ my shot, I’m breakin’ down the wall,
Strike first, yeah, I’m standin’ tall,
I won’t back down, I'm answerin' the call.
(Outro)
Strike first, no hesitation, no fear,
I’m takin’ what’s mine, it’s all crystal clear,
Strike first, I’m the one they should fear,
It’s my time, I’m the one in the mirror.
