Roll up to the gym I’m not here to swim Pre-workout courses through my veins I shout through forces and strain I know pain equals gains And I came to hurt Give my muscles a good growth spurt All the ladies are trying to flirt But my answers remain curt I am here to put in work
Headphones on and my focus is scary I sift through my music library So that I can lift legendary I need the right kind of song To make me feel kind of strong To push me right along, never lead me wrong It needs the right beats per minute So I can fight and beat my limits Go to greater lengths Accomplish new feats of strength Demolish two fleets of tanks Rip my tank top in two To work out harder than you
When I bench the earth starts quaking Every muscle in my body shaking And tomorrow there will be aching But right now it’s exhilarating
I am manic and mindful I am so focused it’s frightful My methods are not intuitive But they are ingenuitive I gain weight To become enlightened I sit up just to lay back down I slam a ball into the ground It’s not insanity Or disdainful vanity It’s religiosity It is reciprocity I get out what I give in This is the body I was given The body that I must live in That’s why I am fully driven To maximize this perfect prison
