Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some people call me an overacheiver
But I'm always a believer
It's my time to shine
Here we go!

[Chorus]
It's on, it's on, it's on, it's on
It's on, it's on, it's on, it's on
C'mon, let's roll
Everybody, yea, here we go (here we go)
It's on, it's on, it's on, it's on
It's on, it's on, it's on, it's on
Right here and now
Everybody, it's going down

I've been waiting for this moment
It's time to throw down
I've been dreaming this dream forever
Now I know the time is now (It's on)
Better make some room for me (It's on)
Now I know it's time to be
Better than I ever was
I don't do it for the money
I do it for the love

[Chorus]

I've got the answer
It's beating in my heart
I'm gonna make it happen
There's no way
I won't tear this apart
I'm gonna show 'em what I got
I'm gonna give it everything
This is no joke I wrote
This is my destiny

One shot
One shot, you got
And if you don't take it then
You're always not, no!
(It's on)
So let's go
(It's on)
Here we go

One chance
One chance to rise
You go get yours
And I'll go get mine
It's on, it's on

[Chorus]

Show 'em what you're worth
It's been on since your date of birth
Why you here
Why you on this earth
If you can't live your dream
Man, it's gotta hurt

[Chorus:Repeat x2]

It's going down
It's going down
It's going down
Trust me from the depths of my soul (it's going dow)
I'm tellin' you, it's going down (it's going down)




The moment now, it's on (it's going down)
I'm tellin' you it's going down (it's going down)
