[Intro]

Keep fighting till you overcome

In the jungle beat the drums

Ooooooo ooooooo

Victory I must get

Tell me can you feel my pain?

Noooo oooooo
[Verse 1: Wale]

Uh uh, yea I'm a Gladiator I'm a fighting champion a warrior

I'm a family man I gotta pay my dues but can't afford to run

Hold my head up high and never let up nah maybe it's foolish pride

And if I gotta lose then make me fall down four times, I get up five

I'm committed to this, I'm addicted to winnin but ain't livin for that

Tryin to get em to see

I don't do it for me as long as I'm givin civilians a hundred million percent

This is hard work, this is our turf, I'm a carry the city till my arms hurt

I'm a move make and never lose faith I know the easy plays do the hard work
[Hook x2: Wale]

No pain no gain

No strife no stripes

No blood no bash

For the burgundy & gold never hold nothin' back

No pain no gain

No strife no stripes

No blood no bash

For the burgundy and gold we gone always fight
[Verse 2: Wale]

Look we came to work, we came to win,

They came to watch so let the pregame begin

The defense will be sick, when we get up in

The trenches, relentless till we put up six

Where your focus at?

Where your soldiers at?

You never got to ask

It ain't no holdin back until we on the map

No pain no gain

Though it hurt I won't quit yea

And if I'm on one leg I'm a still be here all year won't sit

Stand tall for the whole team

Work hard when its dark keep focused

See the odds keep dodgin them all if you fall go harder

Cuz you here for a purpose
[Hook x2]
