He was driven into the dark
By the cruel hand of fate
As the heat of the flames reached higher
So many of his good friends were lost
Only ashes remained
He wondered why he was spared from the fire
He said there must be a reason why God let me live
Gonna search for my purpose, give all I can give
It's the hand I was dealt on the day I was born
The difference is all how you play it
Gonna cut from the pack, write my own second act
I'm playing this out for the win
Gonna say to those jokers and thieves
Deal me in
Living in a one bedroom flat
The eldest of five
A family fighting to keep off the street
Mama took her son to the side
"It's all in your hands
Till your father gets back on his feet"
So he gave up his childhood, took one for the team
He sacrificed all, everything but his dream
It's the hand I was dealt on the day I was born
The difference is all how you play it
Gonna cut from the pack, write my own second act
I'm playing this out for the win
Gonna say to those jokers and thieves
Deal me in
When my friend Vinnie came back from his tour of duty
His left leg was missing at the knee
Still he smiled like he held all the aces
He said, "I had a little setback, but soon I'll get my strut back
Misfortune, you won't get the best of me!"
So no matter the reason, there's always a rhyme
The view from the top is well worth the climb
It's the hand I was dealt on the day I was born
The difference is all how you play it
Gonna cut from the pack, write my own second act
I'm playing this out for the win
Gonna say to those jokers and thieves
Deal me in
Deal me in (you've got to deal me in)
It's the hand I was dealt (it's the hand I was dealt)
On the day I was born (on the day I was born)
Gonna cut from the pack, write my own second act
