He says, Mom I wanna play on the football team It's something I dream, do you think that I can? The lines on our doorway say I'm 4 foot 10 And I can run faster than all of my friends She says, Son, I've no doubt that you'd be the best And better than the rest but you know times are tough Your father and I work all day to put food on the table The time we have left ain't enough Days go by Everyone lives and dies But some folks are born without odds on their side And they're swimming against the tide So instead he plays ball with the kids on his street It clears his mind free of his struggles in school With all of the pressure he just can't perform It's pressure he's never been faced with before And when he's in high school his story's the same The rules of the game don't come easily to him He's never had schedules or structure that gave him direction Like boys on the football team did Days go by Everyone lives and dies But some folks are born without odds on their side And they're swimming against the tide The day he turns 20, he rides to his job He didn't think college was where he belonged And most of his friends here decided to stay with their families And help them to just get along Days go by Everyone lives and dies But some folks are born without odds on their side And they're swimming against the tide
