I'm in the thick of it, everybody knows
They know me where it snows, I skied in and they froze
I don't know no nothin' 'bout no ice, I'm just cold
Forty somethin' milli' subs or so, I've been told

I'm in my prime but this ain't even final form
They knocked me down, but still, my feet, they find the floor
I went from living rooms straight up to sold-out tours
Life's a fight, but trust, I'm ready for the war

Whoa-oh-oh
This is how the story goes
Whoa-oh-oh
I guess this is how the story goes

I'm in the thick of it, everybody knows
They know me where it snows, I skied in and they froze
I don't know no nothin' 'bout no ice, I'm just cold
Forty somethin' milli' subs or so, I've been told

From the screen to the ring, to the pen, to the king
Where's my crown? That's my bling
Always drama when I ring
See, I believe that if I see it in my heart
Smash through the ceiling 'cause I'm reachin' for the stars

Whoa-oh-oh
This is how the story goes
Whoa-oh-oh
I guess this is how the story goes

I'm in the thick of it, everybody knows
They know me where it snows, I skied in and they froze (woo)
I don't know no nothin' 'bout no ice, I'm just cold
Forty somethin' milli' subs or so, I've been told

Highway to heaven, I'm just cruisin' by my lone'
They cast me out, left me for dead, them people cold
My faith in God, mind in the sun, I'm by the soul (yeah)
My life is hard, I took the wheel, I cracked the code (yeah-yeah)
Ain't nobody gon' save you, man, this life will break you (whoa-oh-oh)
In the thick of it, this is how the story goes

I'm in the thick of it, everybody knows
They know me where it snows, I skied in and they froze
I don't know no nothin' 'bout no ice, I'm just cold
Forty somethin' milli' subs or so, I've been told
I'm in the thick of it, everybody knows (everybody knows)
They know me where it snows, I skied in and they froze (yeah)
I don't know no nothin' 'bout no ice, I'm just cold
Forty somethin' milli' subs or so, I've been told (ooh-ooh)

Whoa-oh-oh (nah-nah-nah-nah, ayy, ayy)
This is how the story goes (nah, nah)
Whoa-oh-oh
I guess this is how the story goes
