The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
"Yo, what's up Pharrell? How you feelin?"
"Good."
"Hey Shay, wake up man."
"I'm here."
"There's no turning back now."
"I know man, I'm ready to go."
"You ready?"
"Hell yeah."
"Yeah, lets go."
We're the gladiators, taking my heart won't be that easy
So send in your lies, I'll fly so high the birds won't reach me
So prepare yourself (ready)
Screw everyone else (lets go)
Cause time is counting down (ready)
It looks like it's now (lets go)
Just go
There's moments when you've been cold
Don't look back
Ages waitin' for you to fall
Never look back
When the first police come, all the seized crawl
Don't look back
Angels smile, so give it your all
Never look back
Kept my eyes on the prize, the next step in my evolution
Is to realize (realize), my life is just a crazy ride
So prepare yourself (ready)
Screw everyone else (lets go)
Cause time is counting down (ready)
It looks like it's now (lets go)
Just go
There's moments when you've been cold
Don't look back
Ages waitin' for you to fall
Never look back
When the first police come, all the seized crawl
Don't look back
Angels smile, so give it your all
Never look back
We'll fold down the pressure, I'm not the type to stop until i'm done
Addicted with fear my skin, it's not the end it's just the beginning
Ready .. lets go (x2)
Just go
There's moments when you've been cold
Don't look back
Ages waitin' for you to fall
Never look back
When the first police come, all the seized crawl
Don't look back
Angels smile, so give it your all
Never look back
So prepare yourself (ready)
Screw everyone else (lets go)
Cause time is counting down (ready)
It looks like it's now (lets go)
