This Is How Legends Are Made

Intro

Quiet like a held breath, gloves on, spine straight

Counting the small losses like lessons, not fate

A single bulb flickers, the room thins — wait

In the hush I tighten, ready to detonate (uh)

Verse

They wrote my name in margins, like a footnote, like a joke

Smiled in the doorway, said I’d fold, said I’d choke

But paper can burn, and quiet can turn to smoke

I learned to move in silence, let the action provoke

No speeches in my pocket, no chorus on my tongue

My work is heavy, let the record hum (yeah)

Hands got the story; the scars got the proof

Every step is a sentence, every breath is the roof

Pre-chorus

Amped and waiting, wire lit, the night leans in

Breath to the metal, feel the current spin (oh)

No more promises — it's time for the run

Calm before the cut, then: watch what I become (watch it)

Chorus

This is how legends are made, this is how it's done (this is how)

This is how legends are made, this is how it's done (watch it come)

I don't need to shout my name — watch the work, watch the sun

This is how legends are made, this is how it's done (yeah, yeah)

Verse

Bass hits like footsteps marching out of doubt

Guitar rips a line, it's the map I figured out (ka-chk)

They asked for proof, I gave the aftershock

Left the room rearranged, left the scoreboard unlocked

No hollow promises, no trophies made of glass

I trade the talk for thunder, let the trembling pass

When they say "show me," I hand them the scene

Rising like a verdict — clean, mean, machine (uh-huh)

Pre-chorus

Lights cut to razor, crowd folds to a hush

Every flicker becomes a claim, every claim becomes a crush (yeah)

I don't plead, I don't plead — I simply run

Charge the line, break the line, here comes what I've begun

Chorus

This is how legends are made, this is how it's done (this is how)

This is how legends are made, this is how it's done (watch it come)

I don't need to shout my name — watch the work, watch the sun

This is how legends are made, this is how it's done (oh-oh)

Bridge

Hear the bass like a hammer, k-chk, k-chk, strike (strike)

Guitar spits a banner, neon-free, blinding light (ha)

No more doubters in the rearview, no more bets on the slow

I move like the verdict — final, steady, blow for blow

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah (ah-ah), oh-oh, yeah

Hands up to the sky but my feet carved the way (my feet carved the way)

Chorus

This is how legends are made, this is how it's done (this is how)

This is how legends are made, this is how it's done (watch it come)

I don't need to shout my name — watch the work, watch the sun

This is how legends are made, this is how it's done (yeah, yeah)

Chorus

This is how legends are made, this is how it's done (this is how)

This is how legends are made, this is how it's done (watch it come)

I don't need to shout my name — watch the work, watch the sun

This is how legends are made, this is how it's done (let it run)
