They tried to put me away But I'm back and I'm here to stay Nothin can stand in my way 'Cause I'm dead set and I'm ready to play Dead set about playin', I'm dead set gonna try I'm dead set about winnin' I'm gonna be first over the line I'm sick and tired of bein' second best I'm sick of hearin' the lies I'm dead set about winnin' I'm gonna be first over the line They thought I was a monkey, dancin' on a string But I'm more like a scorpion And I'm mad as hell and I'm a-ready to sting Dead set about playin', I'm dead set gonna try I'm dead set about winnin' I'm gonna be first over the line I'm sick and tired of bein' second best I'm sick of hearin' the lies I'm dead set about winnin' I'm gonna be first over the line I'm gonna be first They used me like a fool, they treated me like dirt Just because I didn't moan, don't mean it didn't hurt They tried to put me away, but I'm back and I'm here to stay And nothin' can stand in my way 'Cause I'm dead set and I'm ready to play Dead set about playin', I'm dead set gonna try I'm dead set about winnin' I'm gonna be first over the line I'm sick and tired of bein' second best I'm sick of hearin' the lies I'm dead set about playin' I'm gonna be first, I'm gonna be first, I'm gonna be first I'm gonna be first... over the line
