lyrics

(Intro: Christopher Michael Jensen & Andre Lipsey)
Chris: Yeah, dude, I'm tellin' you, dude, I'm tellin' you, we'll just go on the track, you ready for this
Andre: Of course
Chris: Ha ha ha ha ha
Andre: Uh, yeah, this one feels like the homestretch
Chris: Yeah, man
Andre: Uh, Andre Lipsey, the North Star in it
Chris: And I'm Chris, huh, yeah, yo

(Verse 1: Christopher Michael Jensen)
I'm feelin' good, tryin' to fight the bad days off, 'cause I'm dyin' to wipe the sad face off, everyday, like the sun, I'm risin', I get down like the ground, eyes set on horizons, past glories of my youth eclipse the shinin', but a voice keeps ringin' in my ears like Verizon, it's the part of me that knows that I can do better, got a college degree, now I just need a new venture, pronto, rhymes stronger than Samson, a killer with this jawbone, a lyrical champion, that's the fighter in me, stressed to be the best, I battle for respect and the press that it gets, am I a hungry artist or just starved for attention, feels like I'm lookin' for the start at the endin', but I'ma work it out like a jumpin' jack, and carry the weight until it busts my back, 'cause

(Chorus: Christopher Michael Jensen & Andre Lipsey)
Chris: I'm livin'
Andre: I'm livin'
Chris: I'm livin'
Andre: I'm livin'
Chris: I'm livin' my life, alright, and I'm winnin'
Andre: I'm winnin'
Chris: I'm winnin'
Andre: I'm winnin'
Chris: I'm winnin'
Andre: I go for the gold and the blue ribbon, I'm livin'
Chris: I'm livin'
Andre: I'm livin'
Chris: I'm livin'
Andre: I'm livin' my life, alright, and I'm winnin'
Chris: I'm winnin'
Andre: I'm winnin'
Chris: I'm winnin'
Andre: I'm winnin'
Chris: I go for the gold and the blue ribbon

(Verse 2: Andre Lipsey)
Uh, Apolo Ohno smooth on the syllables, C.M.J. and Dre, man, get a clue, we headed for that first letter, uh, I mean number, my eyes are redder than Phelps out the swimmin' pool, but you can guess where I'm headed to, watch a north star rise up to the top pedestal, better get ya rep up, respect, get it, dude, I never trade my goal for a check when I check the two, you gotta keep what you grind and you grit for, otherwise, it's like what you do this shit for, a real winner, I grind up from piss poor with his people in mind when it's time to get more, so, uh, you can just bet I'll make the first move whenever there's projectiles fired into the air to see who's the best, I'm winnin', another hit, Maurer, Twinnin'

(Chorus: Christopher Michael Jensen & Andre Lipsey)
Chris: I'm livin'
Andre: I'm livin'
Chris: I'm livin'
Andre: I'm livin'
Chris: I'm livin' my life, alright, and I'm winnin'
Andre: I'm winnin'
Chris: I'm winnin'
Andre: I'm winnin'
Chris: I'm winnin'
Andre: I go for the gold and the blue ribbon, I'm livin'
Chris: I'm livin'
Andre: I'm livin'
Chris: I'm livin'
Andre: I'm livin' my life, alright, and I'm winnin'
Chris: I'm winnin'
Andre: I'm winnin'
Chris: I'm winnin'
Andre: I'm winnin'
Chris: I go for the gold and the blue ribbon

(Verse 3: Christopher Michael Jensen)
A caffeine fiend, high off o' fructose, sugared bloodstreams keep the mind in a loophole, I chill out and get lost in a fantasy about pretty girls who make music and fancy me, sprinkle sand in my eyes, keep the dream goin', without a dose o' hope the soul keeps jonsin', but I'm awoken abruptly and I'm still in shock, so I treat each day like a building block, stack 'em one by one, use 'em as a staircase, lookin' up to such great heights, wonderin' how the air tastes, I stare face to face with my reflection, 'til one of us blinks, I can maintain direction, some say life's just a series of moments, each one different and it's how we approach it, the gold still glimmers and the blue is gorgeous, so I keep movin' towards it, 'cause

(Chorus: Christopher Michael Jensen & Andre Lipsey)
Chris: I'm livin'
Andre: I'm livin'
Chris: I'm livin'
Andre: I'm livin'
Chris: I'm livin' my life, alright, and I'm winnin'
Andre: I'm winnin'
Chris: I'm winnin'
Andre: I'm winnin'
Chris: I'm winnin'
Andre: I go for the gold and the blue ribbon, I'm livin'
Chris: I'm livin'
Andre: I'm livin'
Chris: I'm livin'
Andre: I'm livin' my life, alright, and I'm winnin'
Chris: I'm winnin'
Andre: I'm winnin'
Chris: I'm winnin'
Andre: I'm winnin'
Chris: I go for the gold and the blue ribbon
