Another dark night, in the city and my prospects lookin' thin
The survival, of the fittest, is the law, in the world I live in
I was not born, to be a fighter, but now's the time I have to learn
To keep my head, above the water
Gotta play with fire, but not get burned
I gotta stand up, I gotta face it, don't want to lose it
I want to taste it while it's hot, don't want to waste it, I need it so bad
I'm gonna win, yeah, I'm gonna win, you see, it's a matter of pride
Deep down inside, I'm gonna win, yeah, I'm gonna win
I got no time, to sit and wonder, I got myself, to reckon with
Yeah, and life won't drag me under, even if it takes, all I have to give
I'll give it all, I gotta stand up, I gotta face it, don't want to lose it
Oooh, I want to taste it while it's hot
Don't want to waste it, my mind's made up
I'm gonna win, I'm gonna win
I tell you, see, when it comes down to the crunch
I've gotta beat life to the punch
I'm gonna win, somehow I know I'm gonna win
You know, I've got to fight to stay alive, kick it in, to overdrive
I'm gonna win, ooh-ooh-ooh, I'm gonna win
I-I-I'm gonna win, I'm gonna win
You see, it's a matter of pride deep down inside
I'm gonna win, gonna win, (gonna win)
Ooh-oooh, I'll pay the price, (gonna win)
No more Mr. Nice, (gonna win) Hey, just, watch me roll the dice
I'm gonna win, win, win, I'm gonna win, win, gonna win
I'm gonna win, I know I'm gonna win
