Are you gonna lift this or not?

Sang to the tune of "Are you gonna kiss me or not?" By Thompson Square

We were sittin' up there on a stack of plates
Talkin' 'bout everything but the weights
With the smell of chalk and your sweat
All I could think about "how hard's this gonna get?"

Oh, but you were so tired, so was I
It was so hard to put on my knee sleeve
and then you said to me,
"Are you gonna lift this or not?"

Are we gonna lift this or what?
I think you know it weighs a lot
But you're 'bout to miss your shot
Are you gonna lift this or not?"

It was the best dang lift that I ever had
Except for that long lift after that
And I knew if I wanted this thing to last
Sooner or later I'd need creatine

So I took a chance
Wore wrist wraps and I pulled it to my knee
And then you said to me
"Are you gonna lift this or not?

Are we gonna do this or what?
I think you know I coach you a lot
I think we've got a real good shot
Are you gonna lift this or not?"

So, we planned it all out for the afternoon
From the protein shake to Nationals in June
And your coach cried
When you finally qualified

When the official man said, "Three white lights"
I did and coach did too, then I dropped that weight
And saw my coach's smile and I said
"Are you gonna lift this or not?

Are we gonna do this or what?
Look at all the strength that we got
It ain't never gonna stop
Are you gonna lift this or not?"

Yeah athlete, you lifted a lot
I really think we've got a shot
Are you gonna lift this or not?
