duke - Pride Lyrics

I'm on the ice, but I feel like I'm on fire
Look deep in my eyes, you can see I'm a fighter
Ain't gonna roll the dice, just gonna be a hard worker
Ready to pay the price? Of course, you already know about my desire

To win, accomplishing, so many things at the same time like if I had a twin
Or a clone, but I'm simply in the zone
Spent the whole week at the gym
Yeah this is where I've been
Got a lot of discipline cause I gotta win

See I'm not like the rest
I've never satisfied myself just by doing my best
I gotta confess, I'm obsessed with success
I gotta perform, I gotta get the job done
What's the point of doing it if you're not number one? (Woo)

Yeah you know when I want something I just go and get it
They are afraid of me 'cause they know I never quit
I leave my heart on the ice, giving all that I got
If you thought you had a chance to win
You should think again 'cause you will not
Imma teach you something
Paying the price once, twice, again and again
Do it for the team, for the family
Open up the book, take the pen and the pain
And write the story
No alcohol, no drugs for me
'Cause I respect my body
And for those of you who don't know me
Well I'm the realest with myself
Never did anything to impress anyone else nah
Never did anything to impress anyone else
Well except myself (Woo)

I like to take a look in the eyes of the guy in the mirror
Cause I can see my pride inside his eyes
Soon as I put my feet on the ice
I feel alive again
I cannot feel the pain
Disconnected is my brain
Maybe I look like I became insane
But man, I feel like me again (Woo)

See I'm not like the rest
I've never satisfied myself
Just by doing my best
It's a passion for me
You can see it on my skin
It's a passion for me
You can see it on my skin

Goosebumps through the whole game
Shame on you if you don't feel the same
You can try to imitate, but you'll never get what's in my plate
I salivate just by the view of the rink
If I were you I would avoid to blink

I cannot stand the lazy people so if you are one of them you better get off my face
You dream of being at my place, but you wouldn't be able to keep up the pace
You wanna hit me, fist me, kill me, but killing a lion is something you don't ace
Try to aim first if that is the case but I thought I told you I was on fire
You will never hit the flame

Now they wonder why we progress
Now they wonder why we the best
It's pretty simple it's simply a question of principle
You better check yourself when you step in the jungle
Got a lot of achievements in the backpack but I stay humble
Y'all ready know the fact that, my game is not on the same level

The only thing you can bury with you in your coffin
Is something that is trapped inside
When I die, imma be buried with my pride
Which means imma be
Buried alive
