Work hard for the muscle
Flex Hard stay humble
Been broke in the struggle
No time for the grumble
Got my vision on Tunnel
Who’s king of the jungle?
Who’s down for the rumble?
Cross game you in trouble
Hit hard for the fumble
Let em watch

Go hard with the hustle
Work hard for the muscle
Flex Hard stay humble
Been broke in the struggle

Who’s king of the jungle?
Who’s down for the rumble?
Call shots in the huddle
Cross game you in trouble
Hit hard for the fumble

Step up to the game
All in for the pain
Stand tall through the rain
Step into the flame

Push hard stay alert
Rise up through the hurt
