Load The Bases

[Intro]
Yeah...
I used to step up swinging at everything
Now I understand the game
You gotta load the bases first
[Verse 1]
I used to chase the lightning, swinging every pitch
Thought if I just swung harder I could make it click
Eyes on the grand slam, skipping every step
Couldn't understand why nothing connected yet
But every dot I scattered fell outside the lines
Swinging for the fences when I couldn't read the signs
Then something shifted — call it context, call it growth
I put the bat down, studied what I didn't know
And that's when clarity came knocking at the plate
You don't catch lightning rushing — nah, you make it wait
The blueprint said be patient, said to trust the plan
Before you swing for everything, make sure you understand
[Chorus]
Load the bases, load the bases, then I swing
Singles and doubles, that's how lightning rings
Every dot's a runner, watch 'em all come in
Ain't no grand slam with the bases thin
Load the bases, load the bases, stack it right
Every single sets the stage for the strike
When the moment comes I'm swinging with the night
That's how you catch the lightning — build it right
[Verse 2]
First base was the framework, got the structure set
Second was the context that the world ain't seen yet
Third base was the proof — every small win stacked
Showed myself the system and it all came back
Used to think that singles were beneath the dream
Now I see they're blueprints for the bigger scheme
Every double down the line another dot in place
Loading up the bases, now I'm running every base
Patience ain't a weakness — nah, it's strategy
Every at-bat building toward the mastery
Watch the field unfold, every runner taking form
This ain't just a game, I'm engineering the storm
[Chorus]
Load the bases, load the bases, then I swing
Singles and doubles, that's how lightning rings
Every dot's a runner, watch 'em all come in
Ain't no grand slam with the bases thin
Load the bases, load the bases, stack it right
Every single sets the stage for the strike
When the moment comes I'm swinging with the night
That's how you catch the lightning — build it right
[Bridge]
And now I see the constellation on the diamond
Every dot I placed exactly where the timing
Said it had to be — it wasn't coincidence
Every single, every double built the evidence
The bases loaded now, the count is in my favor
Every scattered piece became a golden acre
This is what it feels like when the blueprint breathes
When you build the thunder, then the lightning leads
[Verse 3]
Bases loaded, full count, crowd is getting loud
Every dot I ever placed is standing proud
This ain't luck, this ain't random, this was by design
Every single was a seed I planted down the line
Now I step up to the plate with everything aligned
Grand slam in the chamber, lightning on my mind
One swing, one moment, but it took a thousand plays
A thousand little victories to build these golden days
And when the bat connects the whole world's gonna see
That the lightning in the bottle was the builder in me
Started with a single, ended with the reign
Load the bases first — that's how you change the game
[Outro]
Yeah...
Singles and doubles
That's the blueprint
Load the bases
Then you swing for the world
Lightning don't strike by accident
You build the storm... then you let it go
