Lyric discussion by PittsburghRiley 

Yeah, i think this song basically means that you will fall down a lot in life, but you cant stay down. you have to get up if you want to succeed.

I think the allusions are pretty clear. The odds were against these people and they still overcame. Muhumad Ali won the Rumble in the Jungle. Helen Keller and Ludwig Van Beethoven both became successful though they were deaf. Nelson Mendell survived going to prison. And as for the Adams, im pretty sure its Samuel Adams. but its on the Fifa commercial and the official video shows somebody kick a soccerball. Heres the video if you are interested in watching it:

Pittsburgh - Beethoven was already VERY successful when he became deaf (at an older age). He was not born deaf like Keller.
