Heart of a Champion
Redfoo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We go hard, we don’t stop
We go hard ’til we reach the top

We go hard, we don’t stop
We go hard ’til we reach the top
I say we go hard, we don’t stop
We go hard hard hard…
It takes the heart of a champion
The fist of a fighter
Going the distance
To be the survivor
When you’re losing your breathing
Your body is sore
To be the last one standing
In the eye of a storm
It takes the heart of a champion
The heart of a champion
It takes the heart of a champion
The heart of a champion

We go hard, we don’t stop
We go hard ’til we reach the top
I say we go hard, we don’t stop
Party rock! Let’s go!
Let’s get fire up!

We go hard, we don’t stop
We go hard ’til we reach the top
I say we go hard, we don’t stop
We go hard ’til we reach the top

Y’all
You gotta start aggressive
Keep your feet moving
You gotta really want it
With everything you’re doing
Plan your work, and work your plan
I like to hit winners
It excites the fans
And if it gets tough
And you fall behind
That’s when you really focus
… like mine
You can back and win
And get the glory
This is what my father has told me

It takes the heart of a champion
The fist of a fighter
Going the distance
To be the survivor
When you’re losing your breathing
Your body is sore
To be the last one standing
In the eye of a storm
It takes the heart of a champion
The heart of a champion
It takes the heart of a champion
The heart of a champion

We go hard, we don’t stop
We go hard ’til we reach the top
I say we go hard, we don’t stop




Party rock! Let’s go!
Let’s get fire up!
