Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Uh-oh, runnin' out of breath, but I
Oh, I, I got stamina
Uh-oh, running now, I close my eyes
Well, oh, I got stamina
And uh-oh, I see another mountain to climb
But I, I, I got stamina
Uh-oh, I need another lover, be mine
'Cause I, I, I got stamina
[PreChorus]
Don't give up, I won't give up
Don't give up, no, no, no
Don't give up, I won't give up
Don't give up, no, no, no
[Chorus]
I'm free to be the greatest, I'm alive
I'm free to be the greatest here tonight, the greatest
The greatest, the greatest alive
The greatest, the greatest alive
[Verse 2]
Well, uh-oh, runnin' out of breath, but I
Oh, I, I got stamina
Uh-oh, runnin' now, I close my eyes
But, oh, I got stamina
And oh, yeah, runnin' through the waves of love
But I, I got stamina
And oh, yeah, I'm runnin' and I've just enough
And uh-oh, I got stamina
[PreChorus]
Don't give up, I won't give up
Don't give up, no, no, no
Don't give up, I won't give up
Don't give up, no, no, no
[Chorus]
I'm free to be the greatest, I'm alive
I'm free to be the greatest here tonight, the greatest
The greatest, the greatest alive
The greatest, the greatest alive
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, I got stamina
Oh-oh, I got stamina
Oh-oh, I got stamina
Oh-oh, I got stamina
[Verse 3]
Aye, I am the truth
Aye, I am the wisdom of the fallen, I'm the youth
Aye, I am the greatest, aye, this is the proof
Aye, I work hard, pray hard, pay dues, aye
I transform with pressure, I'm hands-on with effort
I fell twice before, my bounce back was special
Letdowns'll get you, and the critics'll test you
But the strong'll survive, another scar may bless you, ah
[PreChorus]
Don't give up, I won't give up (No, no, no, no)
Don't give up, no, no, no (Nah)
Don't give up, I won't give up
Don't give up, no, no, no
[Chorus]
I'm free to be the greatest, I'm alive
I'm free to be the greatest here tonight, the greatest
The greatest, the greatest alive
Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up, no, no, no
The greatest, the greatest alive
Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up, no, no, no
[Outro]
The greatest, the greatest alive
Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up, I got stamina
The greatest, the greatest alive
Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up, I got stamina
The greatest, the greatest alive
Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up, I got stamina
The greatest, the greatest alive
Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up, I got stamina
