Once I set a shotgun to my head
They said I wasn't worth the bullets
Now the world is my trigger
And I'm here to fucking pull it
Still here (still here) I can't hesitate
Eyes wide open pupils dilate
Still here (right here) set to detonate
I see the swarm the scavengers await
No sleep! No rest!
And that's what it takes to be the best
No sleep! No rest!
Must stay driven I can't relent
Once set a knife to my throat
They said I'd wind up in the dirt
I know the ones who doubt me
Are the ones that really hurt
Still here (still here) I can't hesitate
Eyes wide open pupils dilate
Still here (right here) set to detonate
I see the swarm the scavengers await
No sleep! No rest!
And that's what it takes to be the best
No sleep! No rest!
Must stay driven I can't relent
Came from the gutter just missed the grave
No looking down the barrel of today
Start from nothing stop at nothing hell-bent
Never put myself in that position again
Now I'm looking down the barrel of today!
Once I set a shotgun to my head
They said I wasn't worth the bullets
Now the world is my trigger
I fucking pull it!
Once I set a shotgun to my head
They said I wasn't worth the bullets
Now the world is my trigger
And I'm gonna to fucking pull it
No sleep! No rest!
Muster what it takes to be the best
No sleep! No rest!
Do anything that it takes to be the best!
