Pain puts you at a disadvantage, it's inconvenient

Don't let your body betray you with this physical torment

It's mind over matter, got my mind over my matter

Mind over matter, got my mind over matter, yeah

Heartache, backache, toothache and headache, vexation of the spirit

Cigarette burns, cold showers for hours, my training helps me through it

People with weak hearts should go into training, I don't let pain deter me

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but they will never hurt me

It's mind over matter, got my mind over my matter

Mind over matter, got my mind over matter, yeah

Mind over matter makes lean times fatter

Mind over matter makes lean times fatter, fatter, matter, oh
