I made it

And now there's no turning back

I know there's no depth you wouldn't sink for the chance

I'm sorry, boy

I'm not cut for this no more

You came in

Yeah, you happened to me

So I waited and nothing else has since

I'm sorry, boy

If it's your name in lights

And if the time is yours,

You'd be on your back

You'd be on this floor
