Lyrics
Verse I
Open your eyes to a new sunrise
and feel the
temperature rise inside
And you know the road ahead
is long so be prepared,
Your allegiance cant be spared
and you know It's going to be rough,
It's time to get tough,
Sometimes workin hard not enough
There's No trick to survive, stay alive
Revive, your soul
Your soul: Sung
Take it to the place that they won't go
Stand proud for everyone you know
It's your turn, its your time you will succeed
Best believe you can be
Verse II
Push up, push down, can I get a push now
Push a little harder, tell me how does that sound
that's what it takes man, stick to the program
push a little farther, tougher than the next man
You got to understand greatness ain't always grand
Blood sweat and tears for years you gotta withstand
it ain't easy, you will soon see,
that you can truly be
Verse III
I can sense it, deep into in my soul
It's my time, I feel it in my bones
My Bloods racing, Entering my zone
Hesitation, unacceptable
I believe my time has finally come
Since day one, believed when I begun
Sacrifice and Dedication is the key
Just believe just believe that you can be
