INTRO
This is a song about one of the greatest, most unlikely sports runs we’ve ever seen
The Philadelphia Eagles and a man named Nick Foles
CHORUS
Who you call when they count you out with little hope?
When your back against the wall and you been broke?
Who you call in the clutch when it get close?
...Nick Foles
VERSE 1
Born and raised in Austin, sports I’m playing often
Flossin, Nick and I’m pigskin tossin
Michigan State but transfer to Arizona
PAC 10 reppin ‘11, get my diploma
Drafted by the Birds in 2012 the money swell
But I’m more about the passion
When Vick went down I was passin
Touchdown to Maclin
Beat the Buccaneers in my first ever dub, cheers
Next year I was back-and-forth with Vick
‘til the day I threw 7 TDs with zero picks
Clinched, playoff berth lost to Brees, what
Pro-Bowl MVP won GMC Truck
Shucks, I break my collarbone next
And it was off to St Louie then Kansas City I’m losing
Got my jersey should I hang it on the shelf give up?
Nah, I’m heading back to Philadelphia
CHORUS
Who you call when they count you out with little hope?
When your back against the wall and you been broke?
Who you call in the clutch when it get close?
...Nick Foles
VERSE 2
Alshon signed in the offseason too
Pre season promising, Wentz season 2
Off to an epic start eleven and two
Next came a crushing injury outta the blue
Playin well Wentz tore his ACL
When he fell how they gonna break the super bowl spell?
Sceptics dwell and they doubt, I enter and I shout
Beat Big Blue hittin Jeffrey on his route
Number 1 seed yet a back up QB and some
Injuries get you no love up in the NFC
I stay poised and elite
Game ‘gainst Atlanta yeah we man up, Julio incomplete
Minnesota next Reindeer scoring quick
So I toss 3 TDs flee flicker to Torrey Smith
And we ain’t done bombin ‘em yet,
Celebrate 38 to 7 Super Bowl next, yes
CHORUS
Who you call when they count you out with little hope?
When your back against the wall and you been broke?
Who you call in the clutch when it get close?
...Nick Foles
VERSE 3
Biggest day of my life, I used to stay up all night
and dream of this, now it’s here got a feeling it’s
Gonna take the whole city to make this for real
This ain’t just another team and it’s Brady and Bill
Rock a dog mask, man it’s been a long path
Trade two FGs, please, needin a long pass
Bomb to Alshon, yeah you know the route long
Play E-A-G-L-E-S our song
Trick play to Brady was never meant to be
Blount rushing TD now it’s 15 to 3
I throw a pick and of course we pay for it
James White, took it right up the middle for a Rushing 6
I get it to Clement...and he’s off to the races
We at the goal line..and you know that we facin
4th down Philly Special special like a Philly Pretzel
Let’s assemble yes we’ll do it Burton toss successful
Al and Chris go wild...Philly Philly got style points
Up 10 yes but only mid point
Tradin TDs, Gronk and Clement and Hogan
All we got all we need...ain’t forgetting the slogan
4th and 1 own 45 yard line
Go for it, see Ertz cuttin and so I throw it quick
Graham forces fumble hail mary and a rumble, ooh
Eagles fans everywhere….this is for you
CHORUS
Who you call when they count you out with little hope?
When your back against the wall and you been broke?
Who you call in the clutch when it get close?
...Nick Foles
Who you call when they count you out with little hope?
When your back against the wall and you been broke?
Who you call in the clutch when it get close?
...Nick Foles

Chorus:

When your back against the wall and you been broke?
Who you call in the clutch when it get close?
...Nick Foles
It’s reminiscent of the best of days,
Cause it feels like the bowl was only yesterday,
Only last week it was Philly Special on repeat
Now last week I was on the questionable sheet
Contusion in my ribs, I’m cruising for the win
It’s happening again, I’m back in for my friend
Back in for the blue collar bleeding for the trophy
Now we need the playoffs now like my people need a hoagie,
Became a folk hero….passion redeployed,
A shrine inside the locker room, statue for ya boy,
I’m back in with the noise, attacking with the poise
It was dejavu, reinstate my crew, whoo!
Tossed to the ground I was roughed and destroyed,
But O line opened it up for the boys
One quarter prior to a shot to the belly
Huge throw to Alshon, bomb down to Nelly
Back up on my feet, the Texans we defeat,
But then we needed help from Chicago N-F-C
Wildcard like I’m Charlie Kelly flippin out,
The Bears got us in now they wanna kick us out
Shout….this is for the broad street pedestrians
Could this be my final days as Philadelphian?
No deal, headin to Soldier Field to throw for real
Led by Doug Fresh, gotta get the dub, yes
Chorus
Who you call when they count you out with little hope?
When your back against the wall and you been broke?
Who you call in the clutch when it get close?

I bring you back five winters ago,
When I led the whole team through the blizzard and snow,
and we lept in the Link with the mission in tact,
but we left lotta time let it slip through the cracks,
Only this is the past, yeah the road it was rough,
but the tides they have turned, Darren Sproles in with us,
and you’ve woken us up, sleeping dragon leavin wreckage
And yeah I’m well aware, we got smacked in week 11
Stepped into Chi Town…picked twice ‘gainst a live crowd
Started so slow still I drive down
TD to the man DG
With the season on the line go to GTIII
Inches away from the extra points
Then they drove and dropped us the double doink
Yeah the club on point, with the great assist
Used to call me basic, now ya call me Saint Nick
Deep drive I direct the pass
I’m a man with a chance to correct the past,
yeah we rep and blast, P-A, Del, and Jersey
Ten thousand hours multiplied by the number on my jersey
Worthy, beLieve in Nicky 6
I know we’re number one yet we’re seeded at a six
Flip, that number upside down and you
Got the MVP piece a the crown
Saints, all they gonna say “WHO DAT,”
I’m sayin who dat who dat who who dat dat dat,
yo in fact, delete any doubt in ya head,
this is Nick, Zack, and Malcolm’s revenge, go
Who you call when they count you out with little hope?
When your back against the wall and you been broke?
Who you call in the clutch when it get close?

Dear Philly, I thank you for the past month
Every play, pick, post, pass, punt
Every day, hyped up and mic’d up
Every game, hike, hut, we psyched up
Dear Philly, trudged up the blood pump
Supported me back when I was just a young pup
Sprung up, saw the stealthy attack and even
When I walked away well you welcomed me back, back
Dear Philly, I tell you what I learned
I learned about the present moment, reppin truly earn
Everything, self discipline upheld wisdom and
Embrace the struggle in your life when you juggling a vice
Never be afraid to fail, when your back against the wall and you scared, don’t bail
Don’t compare, yourself to your neighbor’s journey,
Cause your’s is independent go explore and find the entrance
Dear Philly I don’t know what’s next
but I’m not no pessimist, no regrets,
Open yes but walk one day at a time,
Stay in ya mind, and trust that yeah you will find
Your fillment, confidence, crushin it all,
Cause awards and the fame they mean nothing it all,
And the people will doubt you, please just do not do
Anything to contradict ya passion when they laughing find your heart
Find the people who care,
Find your brothers and ya sisters and embrace ‘em and share,
Play in the air, special when the season persists,
Dear Philly, thank you, sincerely Nick
