Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Race, life's a race
And I am gonna win
Yes, I am gonna win
And I'll light the fuse
And I'll never lose
And I choose to survive (So I told you)
Whatever it takes (So I told you)
You won't pull ahead (So I told you)
I'll keep up the pace (So I told you)
And I'll reveal my strength (So I told you)
To the whole human race (So I told you)
[Verse 2]
Yes, I am prepared (So I told you)
To stay alive (So I told you)
I won't forgive (So I told you)
The vengeance is mine (So I told you)
And I won't give in (So I told you)
Because I choose to thrive (So I told you)
[Verse 3]
Yes, I'm gonna win!
[Verse 4]
Race (So I told you)
It's a race (So I told you)
And I am gonna win (So I told you)
Yes, I am gonna win (So I told you)
And I will light the fuse (So I told you)
And I'll never lose (So I told you)
And I choose to survive (So I told you)
Whatever it takes (So I told you)
You won't pull ahead (So I told you)
'Cause I'll keep up the pace (So I told you)
And I'll reveal my strength (So I told you)
To the whole human race (So I told you)
[Verse 5]
Yes, I'm gonna win!
[Verse 6]
Fight!
Fight!
Fight!
Fight!
Win!
Win!
Win!
Win!
Yes I'm gonna win!
