No Pain No Gain

[Intro: Magazeen]
Keep fighting till you overcome
In the jungle beat the drums Ooh, Oooh
Victory I must get
Tell me can you feel my pain? Ooh, Oooh

[Verse 1: Wale]
Uh, yeah
I'm a gladiator, I'm a fighter, champion, a warrior
I'm a family man I gotta pay my dues, but can't afford to run
Hold my head up high and never let up, nah, maybe it's foolish pride
And if I gotta lose then make me fall down four times, I get up five
I'm committed to this, I'm addicted to winnin but ain't livin for that
Tryin to get em to see
I don't do it for me, as long as I'm givin civilians a hundred million percent
This is hard work, this is our turf, I'm a carry the city till my arms hurt
I'm a move, make, and never lose faith I know the easy plays do the hard work

[Chorus: Wale]
No pain no gain, no strife no stripes, no blood no bash
For the burgundy and gold never hold nothin' back
No pain no gain, no strife no stripes, no blood no bash
For the burgundy and gold we gone always fight
No pain no gain, no strife no stripes, no blood no bash
For the burgundy and gold never hold nothin' back
No pain no gain, no strife no stripes, no blood no bash
For the burgundy and gold we gone always fight

[Interlude: Magazeen]
Fight, fight, fight
Fight, fight, fight
Fight, fight, fight
Fight, fight, fight
Fight, fight, fight

[Verse 2: Wale]
Look, we came to work, we came to win
They came to watch, so let the games begin
The defense will be sick, when we get up in
The trenches relentless till we put up six
Where your focus at?
Where your soldiers at?
You never got to ask
It ain't no holdin back until we on the map
No pain, no gain
Though it hurt I won't quit, yeah
And if I'm on one leg I'm a still be here all year, won't sit
Stand tall for the whole team
Work hard when it's dark, keep focused
See the odds keep dodgin them all if you fall go harder
Cause you're here for a purpose

[Chorus: Wale]
No pain no gain, no strife no stripes, no blood no bash
For the burgundy and gold never hold nothin' back
No pain no gain, no strife no stripes, no blood no bash
For the burgundy and gold we gone always fight
No pain no gain, no strife no stripes, no blood no bash
For the burgundy and gold never hold nothin' back
No pain no gain, no strife no stripes, no blood no bash
For the burgundy and gold we gone always fight
