[Verse 1]
Another dark night, in the city
And my prospects looking thin
The survival, of the fittest
Is the law, in the world that 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

[Pre-Chorus]
I gotta stand up, I gotta face it
Don't wanna lose it
I wanna taste it while it's hot
Don't wanna waste it, I need it so bad

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
I gotta stand up, I gotta face it
Don't wanna lose it
Ooh, I wanna taste it while it's hot
Don't wanna waste it, my mind's made up

[Chorus]
I'm gonna win
I'm gonna win
I'll tell you, see, when it comes down to the crunch
I gotta beat life to the punch
I'm gonna win
Somehow I know I'm gonna win
You know, I gotta fight to stay alive
Kick it into overdrive
I'm gonna win
Ooh, I'm gonna win

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
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)
[Outro]
Ooh, I'll pay the price (Gonna win)
No more Mr. Nice (Gonna win)
Hey, just watch me roll the dice (Gonna win)
I'm gonna win, win, win
I'm gonna win, win, gonna win
I'm gonna win
I know I'm gonna win
