[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 Im a Gladiator Im a fighting champion a warrior
Im a family man I gotta pay my dues but cant afford to run
Hold my head up high and never let up nah maybe its foolish pride
And if I gotta lose then make me fall down four times, I get up five
Im committed to this, Im addicted to winnin but aint livin for that
Tryin to get em to see
I dont do it for me as long as Im givin civilians a hundred million percent
This is hard work, this is our turf, Im a carry the city till my arms hurt
Im 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 aint no holdin back until we on the map
No pain no gain
Though it hurt I wont quit yea
And if Im on one leg Im a still be here all year wont 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]
