Our world's a butcher's blade, sharpened on a slate
You've got to grow a hide
It's do or die
Skin too thick to break
But I can hardly stand it
It's a struggle that I can't shake
But the blood and sweat, it frees me
The pain alleviates
Set a course and make it happen
Take off your harness, cut the rope, set a goal, and run it rampant
In the era of struggle, man, you've got to fight to take the cake
Keep control
Always keep control
In a whirlwind, whiplash city you've got to keep control, never lose control
Because the hardships take their toll
Keep control
Always keep control
Your life is at your doorstep
Keep control
Never lose control
So open it up and take a f*cking stroll
Our culture's a Spartan's shield
You just can't break so learn to embrace
A kamikaze mission to survive
They can set a path, but it's up to you to determine your destiny
The passion, pride, ambition will free me
The pain alleviates
Keep control
Always keep control
In a whirlwind, whiplash city you've got to keep control, never lose control
Because the hardships take their toll
Keep control
Always keep control
Your life is at your doorstep
Keep control
Never lose control
So open it up and grab ahold
When you're feeling hung-up, beaten, trampled, completely dismantled
On a raging manhunt for an escape into comfort and ease
Keep control
Always keep control
Your life is at your doorstep
Keep control
Never lose control
So open it up
Don't keep it f*cking closed, no
