[Intro: Eric Thomas]

When you want to succeed, as bad as you want to breathe
Then you'll be successful
The most Important thing it this
To be able, at any moment
To sacrifice what you are, for what you will become
Don't Go To SLEEP, Until you Succeed!

[Verse 1: Naeem Johnson]

I Gotta Succeed, just like I gotta take a Breath
I work until I win, Every Failure is a Step
The difference between a Winner & a loser is the Test
He plays until he Wins, He ain’t taking nothing Less
I Gotta Succeed, I gotta do it for myself
Then pass it to my people so that they can share the wealth
For generations the legacy, it will be felt
Its More than the Money, It’s God, Love & Good Health
I Gotta Succeed, be an example that you Gotta Believe
God & Yourself in this Life, Is really all that you Need
To get it started on the path to Your Peak
So move your Feet, in the Direction of the Way that You Seek
No Time For Sleep
I’ll Succeed when I Work harder than concrete
The Rose that pushes through for Shine
The Son keeps me Going
Diaphoretic in the Energetic, Erule flowin'
I Gotta Succeed for You to Know it!

[Hook: Eric Thomas]
Because I realize, I gotta commit my very being to this thing
I Gotta, I Gotta breathe it, I gotta eat it, I gotta sleep it
And until you get there, you will never be successful in life
But once you get there, I guarantee you, the world is yours
So work hard, so, so work hard, and you can have whatever it is you want

[Verse 2: Naeem Johnson]

I Gotta Succeed, and it don’t happen over night
The Grind is a pace, and to keep it is a Fight
Gotta stay in your lane, Leavin' the left for whats Right
The Dark is on the prowl, But we gotta follow Light
I Gotta Succeed, I gotta do it for my Fam
Forget about the childish, step into a Man
A king to a kingdom, a castle and some land
A Queen with a son and a daughter is the Plan
I Gotta Succeed, I got Goals that I Gotta Achieve
I got heights that I Gotta Exceed
Shall I proceed, I think indeed I’ma stick to the Creed
To be a Winner, everybody’s Agreed
“It Takes Focus”
Just like a forest is inside of seed
There’s a Vision stuck inside of your Dreams
So Fight through the Pain of Reality
To Making it Seen
Cause Guaranteed we are More than We Seem

[Hook: Eric Thomas]
Listen To Me, Pain is temporary
It may last for a minute, or an hour, or a day, or even a year
But eventually, it will subside
And something else will take its place
If I quit however, It will last forever

[Verse 3: Naeem Johnson]

Just One More Rep, One More Read
One More Rehearsal, For One More Speech
One More Lap, To Break In These Cleats
One More Test, To Get This Degree
HARD WORK!
Blood Sweat and Tears
It might last Months, may have to Grind for Years
The Only thing that Matters is the Outcome you Hear
“The Winner Is…”
You know the Name that Appears!
I Gotta Succeed, and when its all said and done
I’ll Drop to My knees, and Thank God that I’ve Won
The Bar is Reset, It’s time to do it all Again
The Saga Continues, We go until We Win!

[Outro: Eric Thomas]
When you want to succeed, as bad as you want to breathe
Then you'll be successful
Don't go to Sleep, Until you Succeed
