You never though I would get this far
They thought I would be a failure
I wasn’t born and raised
To be another useless slave
My choices made my life
And you just point out mistakes
This challenge here is mine
Some pains I must embrace
Nobody will take me down
No, nothing can stop me now
No they will never know
I am not a gambler
I’m playing this to win
Nothing can stop me now
There is not a wall
That I can not bring down
There is not a pain
That I can not deal with
No they will never know
I am not a gambler
I’m playing this to win
Nothing can stop me
I know it’s hard and I have my scars
Had to fight my will to stop
I know I won’t give up
One more time I’ll stand my ground
You got mesmerized
I succeeded one more time
Now you witness me rise
Winning is half my prize
Nobody will take me down
No, nothing can stop me now
Nobody will take me down
No, nothing can stop me now
No they will never know
I am not a gambler
I’m playing this to win
Nothing can stop me now
There is not a wall
That I can not bring down
There is not a pain
That I can not deal with
No they will never know
I am not a gambler
I’m playing this to win
Nothing can stop me
I won’t give up
Witness me rise
Playing to win
I´ll stand my ground
They´ll never know
I'm not a slave
I'll stand the pain
Tear down the walls
This is not a reckless game
I can steer this fucking wheel
I will pay the higher price
Won't take away my pride
