I am from


I am from big names and unfair games
From small cities and small opportunities
Where no one makes it bigger than the person next to you
 
I am from dreaming but falling down hard
From realizing reality before it hits me
From the  books I studied hard 
To make something of myself
 
I am from giving 100% of my best effort 
From working hard now and worrying about the reward later
Not from the easy way out
 
I am from the school sports
From purple and white
From the rivalry with Yuma
From all the late game nights
 
All these things make up me 
As I am from a small town
I have big dreams that I want to achieve
