Lear Kirkland - For the Art Lyrics

I'm bout to feed em to the sharks right now!
Get em hype right now (Yeah!)

You know the ground is our... (Ocean... ocean... ocean)
(Yeah)
Everybody that trains, you know the game (Yeah)
So let's get it (Uhh)

Slap it up
Bump it
And roll
(Aye!)
Yeah that's the way that it go (Aight)
Ain't no better way to better yourself in this game
You're feelin the growth!
(That's real!)
That's time on the mat
We put in the work
Believe it ain't easy
I know
(You know!)
But we train for the love of the game
The love of the art
Now slap it up, bump it
Lets roll! (Lets roll... lets roll... lets roll... lets roll...)

Yeah!
(Get up!)
VMA...
We bout to take em on a voyage! Uhh
(Get up!)

Finna...
Finna hit it like...

I'm finna hit it like a beast on the mats!
I spit it cuz the whole team got my back!
You know I did it for the love of the art
I paint a picture with the verse so you can see where we at!

Can you imagine the scene?
The big stage
A-D-C-C!
With a grin on your face
Because you're livin the dream
It's feelin surreal
You feel your heart skippin a beat
But on the real this is everywhere you wanted to be!
Yeah!

Focus up now
It's time for the big fight
Headphones in cuz you gotta get your mind right
The big names and the big lights!
Feel the vigor of the crowd
Yeah this bout to be a big night!

Uhh
You're so ready for this!
You bout to let it loose like a levee with this!
Hear your name now your palms gettin sweaty with this
Weight of the moment got your heart beatin heavy with this...

Just breathe!

And take it back to the basics
Makin sure you got a good foundation
Keep it steady with the balance and the base
Then you hit the cutter pass
Knee slide like a razor!

Goin hard
Sweat drippin down your face and
Blood pumpin
You can feel the elation
You get the mount now the people goin crazy!
Keepin up the pressure
Man the pace is amazing!

You in the zone with the position and the placement!
Hit the submission
Got the whole place shakin!
You got the dub
Now they take your hand and raise it!
Gold on the neck
You the champ
You dun made it!

But it's all a dream...
Get outta work to get it in with the team
I'm rollin with my ladies and brethren
We go and get it
Everyday Porrada!
Cuz I wanna be a legend like Helio!
Hall of Fame!
All the greats!
Know the names!
Make your own!
Go and train!
Takin over the world with Jiu-Jitsu mayne!

Like aye!
What's happenin!
Drillin with the flow to get your practice in!
They hit you with the choke and made you tap again?
You know them mats don't lie... it ain't a accident!

This is what it's gonna take to make a champion! (Get up!)
And it doesn't even matter what camp you in! (Get up and go get it!)
Some days you're gonna be the nail and get hammered in! (Get up!)
You wanna be a Black Belt? You better have thick skin! (Get up and go get it!)
Keep your head in the game and keep workin! (Get up!)
Nobody givin out stripes, you gotta earn it! (Get up and go get it!)
And at the end of the night your body hurtin!
But the struggle and pain is all worth it...

Now!
Do it for the art!
Do it with your heart!
Do it like a job!
Yeah we do it hard
Like we never gon stop!
Do it! Do it!
Like you're aiming for the top!
And we do it everyday until the day that we depart!
Do it smart!
Yeah we finna get it in and get it right from the start!
For the friends
For the fam
For the street
For the sport
And though we're miles apart
We gettin at it like a fiend for our team!
Yeah we do it for the art!
