(DS/ Libero POV)
You spike it down
But I can't feel a ball you swing
I let it drop
Just like that
I'm criticized
All the balls ricochet
You shoot it down
I get it up
I have grit
That's the truth
Swing away, swing away
The ball no longer ricochets
Take your aim
And swing away
You hit it down
The ball doesn't fall
I have grit now
You hit it down
The ball doesn't fall
I said I have grit now

(Setter POV)
Pass the ball
Your passes don't make me look good
Don't let it drop
You know I can't reach that ball
I'll raise my voice
I can't, I won't fall on this floor
I get there
The ball stays up
I have grit
That's the truth
Pass away, I'll get there
Even if the ball ricochets
I got it, aye
Pass away, I'll get there
Pass the ball
I'll get it now
Saying I have grit now
Pass the ball
I'll get it now
I said I have grit now

(Hitters POV)
Set me now
I want to get a kill with this ball
I can't hit that it's far too low
I'm in the net
Now I'll demand a better set
It wasn't my fault
I free it over
The point isn't over yet
I have grit
That's the truth
Set away, I'll get it over the net
Even if it's a free
The point isn't over yet right away
Set away, I'll get it over the net
Set the ball
I'll swing away
I have grit now
Set the ball
I'll swing aggressively
I said I have grit now

This is not to meant to offend any volleyball players and I understand that this can sound stereotypical. I'm just a libero myself and do not know what struggles a setter or hitter go through. I just wanted to say that the point is to have grit and fight for every point and not blame someone else or just let the ball drop.
