[Verse 1]

When I first started out it was me and this art

No thing in the world could keep us apart

It's a key to my heart, healing my scars

While I breathe every breath and I reach for the stars

It's no sport and it ain't no game

It's not to be cool for the fame, nor pay

It's raising the bar with an aim on improvement

While losing the time that it's taking to do this

But I'm sick of this ridiculous

Inhibitance and bitterness I'm living with

So I get it out when I'm going in

Going in on the passion I hold within

Don't mistake that kindness for weakness

I'm mean when I ride on this beat kid

Fighting my demons, rhyme and the reason

Rising above and defining achievement

[Chorus]

I go in to go win

Slaving away on a way to the top

I go in to go win

Never going to stop, never gonna stop - stop

I go in to go win

Slaving away on a way to the top

I go in to go win

Never going to stop, never gonna stop - stop

[Verse 2]

And the world is a hazardous place

With ravenous animals, rats in a race

And they have us all captured to assimilate

And distract from the fact that we're trapped in our cages

With grog, toxins, and poisons

There's bosses, jobs, and employers

There's cops, doctors, and lawyers

I just watch with a loss of enjoyment

As I had to deal with death

Deal with the stress of feeling depressed

Raising my child in a world where the rich stay

Rich with the rest of the people in debt

Knock back comes real in the flesh

Bringing pain that I need to express

That keeps me in check, puts me to the test

When I speak from the heart as it beats in my chest

[Chorus]

I go in to go win

Slaving away on a way to the top

I go in to go win

Never going to stop, never gonna stop - stop

I go in to go win

Slaving away on a way to the top

I go in to go win

Never going to stop, never gonna stop - stop

[Bridge]

I'm—I'm taking control

To try break the control

Yo I'm taking control

To try break the control

I'm—I'm taking control

To try break the control

Yo I'm taking control

To try break the control

[Verse 3]

I could be on a path of destruction

With turning a blind eye apart of my custom

But instead I work and I starve with the hunger

And won't sit around on my arse doing nothing

Ha, I stand while you sit

Plan while you quit, advance while you slip

Slave to the grind, my attitude lifts

I'm in and I'm winning this championship

I ain't gonna take this no more

Stuck in a rut with these sickening thoughts

No view from a crystal ball

Just running a gauntlet to risk it all

From my burdened years that have hurt the dearest

I've learned perseverance to earn my clearance

My works worth is clear from my first appearance

The worst turns my gears to emerge as fearless

[Chorus]

I go in to go win

Slaving away on a way to the top

I go in to go win

Never going to stop, never gonna stop - stop

I go in to go win

Slaving away on a way to the top

I go in to go win

Never going to stop, never gonna stop - stop
