[Intro]

Yeah

Shout-out to EA Sports, NBA Live 2005

I go by the name of Stat Quo

Yeah, the [?] squad

LT [?]

[Chorus]

Train to be the best, work to be the best

Play to be the best, compete to be the best

Try to be the best, strive to be the best

Score to be the best, live to be the best

Train to be the best, work to be the best

Play to be the best, compete to be the best

Try to be the best, strive to be the best

Score to be the best, live to be the best

[Verse 1]

There ain't no comp, my dog, it's just me

One mic, one track, one MC

Folks be tryin' to hate, but still I G

Upon my rise to the top where I'm supposed to be, yeah

In life, you got two options

Stat chose to win, write my life through a pen

Time I spend, most can't comprehend

I strive to be the best, that's what God intend

And use rap as an outlet from outset

I will set a level that has not been reached yet

Play hard like recess, workin' the grindfest

Hard work reigns, success to big checks

My intellect is somethin' you must respect

Anythin' short of that, I consider a threat

You thought I was through, I got more on deck

Stat Quo sets the rules, I don't need no reps, yep

[Chorus]

Train to be the best, work to be the best

Play to be the best, compete to be the best

Try to be the best, strive to be the best

Score to be the best, live to be the best

Train to be the best, work to be the best

Play to be the best, compete to be the best

Try to be the best, strive to be the best

Score to be the best, live to be the best

[Verse 2]

Face me and prepare to lose

Top of the key, I'm a beast, in the paint, he a fool

It's the art in the way I move, I was blessed with it

My handles are perf, you can't steal it

My words is fitted to the track, it's ridiculous

Buried the competition, he's so gifted

Watch the highlights, you can't miss it

The game, when I won't miss it, I will hit it

Born from pressure you can't measure

Adrenalin' pumpin', sweat pourin', will I quit? Never

I know better, plus, I need extra

So I fade away and go to the hall and dunk on your neck

Becomin' champion is what I expect

So I stay on the quest to out-grind and hustle the rest

Made a pact with myself to my dyin' breath

I won't quit 'til you call me the best, understand me? Yep

[Chorus]

Train to be the best, work to be the best

Play to be the best, compete to be the best

Try to be the best, strive to be the best

Score to be the best, live to be the best

Train to be the best, work to be the best

Play to be the best, compete to be the best

Try to be the best, strive to be the best

Score to be the best, live to be the best

Train to be the best, work to be the best

Play to be the best, compete to be the best

Try to be the best, strive to be the best

Score to be the best, live to be the best

Train to be the best, work to be the best

Play to be the best, compete to be the best

Try to be the best, strive to be the best

Score to be the best, live to be the best
