Pain puts you at a disadvantage, it's inconvenient

Don't let your body betray you with this physical torment



It's mind over matter, got my mind over my matter

Mind over matter, got my mind over matter, yeah



Heartache and backache, and toothache and headache vexation of the spirit

Cigarette burns, cold showers for hours

My training helps me through it

People with weak hearts should go into training

I don't let pain deter me

Sticks and stones may break my bones but they will never hurt me



It's mind over matter, got my mind over my matter

Mind over matter, got my mind over matter, yeah



Mind over

Mind over matter, makes lean times fatter (x2)

fatter, fatter, fatter...

Got my mind over my matter
