Let It Burn
STIC.MAN Of Dead Prez (AKA) Stic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a vibrating bass drum I′m violating
If I ain't aching and sore the next day I feel cheated
Like a fiend, feeding my workout - I need it
My regimen is gold base, very strategic
Building up my temple like the pharaohs in Egypt
A wise king gotta take care of his kingdom
I live for the burn, want it harder than Vibrams
When I'm locked in my zone nothin′ else don′t exist
Quitters never win, a winner never quits
The burn is just weakness transformed to strength
When times get hard, I go harder
Think smarter, Bruce Lee said "Be like water"
Tough times make us tougher
My momma ain't raise no sucka
I ain′t scared of no struggle
I love to let it burn
Push it out, burn
Make it count, burn
Get it in, burn
Discipline, burn
Squeeze it out, burn
Breathe it out, feel that burn, you only get what you earn
Let it burn
Push it out, burn
Make it count, burn
Get it in, burn
Discipline, burn
Breathe it out, burn
Squeeze it out, feel that burn, you only get what you earn
Let it burn
Ninja, it's hard to see one - they walk past
I get high off the pain – it′s the lactic acid
It's what comes with the super sets
Pull-ups with the muscle-up
Dips with some push-ups
Homes I′m building muscle up
Squeeze on the come up, release on the down
Lethal weapon my body, like a gun without a sound
Super cut, no Hydroxycut or ephedrine
It's my discipline that helps me stay true to my regimen
Push it all the way to the max, tearing the fibers
Let it burn when I can't curl, arms is on fire
I′m a rider - now it′s warrior time so I'm preparing
Gladiator, my muscles is the armour that I′m wearing
Let it burn like coal to a train, you fuel the engine
You stress, that's fuel for the brain when I be benching
Tough times make us tougher
My momma ain′t raise no sucka
I ain't scared of no struggle
I love to let it burn
Push it out, burn
Make it count, burn
Get it in, burn
Discipline, burn
Squeeze it out, burn
Breathe it out, feel that burn, you only get what you earn
Let it burn
Push it out, burn
Make it count, burn
Get it in, burn
Discipline, burn
Breathe it out, burn
Squeeze it out, feel that burn, you only get what you earn
Let it burn
No pain, no gain - that′s the mantra
I'm in the lab chiseling, creating a monster
Lotta sweat, lotta heart, whole lotta discipline
Lotta hours going in, lotta conditioning
Second wind kicking in, that's when it count most
Sweat pouring out, leaving the mat on the ground soaked
The last few reps in a set - that′s when it′s startin' to burn
Pound so heavy it′s hard to keep your form
Gotta learn how to take the mind to another plane
Higher than the pain, since the reason's the brain
It′s mind over matter - no struggle, no muscle
No quittin', no givin′ up, tough it out, suck it up
We come from Lenin, just to build pyramids
Some want lean physics and train to get big
But it's that burn that separates the boys from the men
You want them abs like Roy - you gotta get them crunches in
And let it burn
Push it out, burn
Make it count, burn
Get it in, burn
Discipline, burn
Squeeze it out, burn
Breathe it out, feel that burn, you only get what you earn
Let it burn
Push it out, burn
Make it count, burn
Get it in, burn
Discipline, burn
Breathe it out, burn
Squeeze it out, feel that burn, you only get what you earn
Let it burn
Let it burn
