If you're gonna live,

Then live it up.

And if you're gonna give,

Then give it up.

If you're gonna walk the earth,

Then walk it proud.

And if you're gonna say the word,

You got to say it loud.



'said, you got to fight, fight, fight for your mind.

You got to fight, fight, fight for your mind.

While you got the time,

You got to fight, fight, fight for your mind.



If you're gonna build a house,

make it a home.

If you're gonna pull some weight,

Oh, pull your own.

If you're gonna help,

Man, reach out your hand.

If you're getting up,

Then take a stand.



'said, you got to fight, fight, fight for your mind

You got to fight for your mind.

While you got the time,

You got to fight, fight for your mind.



Now, if you're gonna step,

Step on in.

If you're gonna finish,

You got to begin.

Don't you fear,

What you don't know.

Just let that be,

Your room to grow.



'said you got to fight, fight, fight for your mind.

Oh, your mind.

While you got the time,

You got to fight, fight, fight for your mind, mind, mind.
