The Futuristiks - I Gotta Succeed lyrics

[Intro: Eric Thomas] When you want to succeed, as bad as you want to breathe Then you'll be successful The most Important thing it this To be able, at any moment To sacrifice what you are, for what you will become Don't Go To SLEEP, Until you Succeed! [Verse 1: Naeem Johnson] I Gotta Succeed, just like I gotta take a Breath I work until I win, Every Failure is a Step The difference between a Winner & a loser is the Test He plays until he Wins, He ain't taking nothing Less I Gotta Succeed, I gotta do it for myself Then pa** it to my people so that they can share the wealth For generations the legacy, it will be felt Its More than the Money, It's God, Love & Good Health I Gotta Succeed, be an example that you Gotta Believe God & Yourself in this Life, Is really all that you Need To get it started on the path to Your Peak So move your Feet, in the Direction of the Way that You Seek No Time For Sleep I'll Succeed when I Work harder than concrete The Rose that pushes through for Shine The Son keeps me Going Diaphoretic in the Energetic, Erule flowin' I Gotta Succeed for You to Know it! [Hook: Eric Thomas] Because I realize, I gotta commit my very being to this thing I Gotta, I Gotta breathe it, I gotta eat it, I gotta sleep it And until you get there, you will never be successful in life But once you get there, I guarantee you, the world is yours So work hard, so, so work hard, and you can have whatever it is you want [Verse 2: Naeem Johnson] I Gotta Succeed, and it don't happen over night The Grind is a pace, and to keep it is a Fight Gotta stay in your lane, Leavin' the left for whats Right The Dark is on the prowl, But we gotta follow Light I Gotta Succeed, I gotta do it for my Fam Forget about the childish, step into a Man A king to a kingdom, a castle and some land A Queen with a son and a daughter is the Plan I Gotta Succeed, I got Goals that I Gotta Achieve I got heights that I Gotta Exceed Shall I proceed, I think indeed I'ma stick to the Creed To be a Winner, everybody's Agreed “It Takes Focus” Just like a forest is inside of seed There's a Vision stuck inside of your Dreams So Fight through the Pain of Reality To Making it Seen Cause Guaranteed we are More than We Seem [Hook: Eric Thomas] Listen To Me, Pain is temporary It may last for a minute, or an hour, or a day, or even a year But eventually, it will subside And something else will take its place If I quit however, It will last forever [Verse 3: Naeem Johnson] Just One More Rep, One More Read One More Rehearsal, For One More Speech One More Lap, To Break In These Cleats One More Test, To Get This Degree HARD WORK! Blood Sweat and Tears It might last Months, may have to Grind for Years The Only thing that Matters is the Outcome you Hear “The Winner Is…” You know the Name that Appears! I Gotta Succeed, and when its all said and done I'll Drop to My knees, and Thank God that I've Won The Bar is Reset, It's time to do it all Again The Saga Continues, We go until We Win! [Outro: Eric Thomas] When you want to succeed, as bad as you want to breathe Then you'll be successful Don't go to Sleep, Until you Succeed
