Winning

Win, win, win, oooh
Win, win, win, eeh

Hit my preset
My default is elevated
Beyond the Milky Way
Like a rocket
Failure I'm allergic to
Success I'm addicted to
Built for this purpose
I'm a born winner
Born stunner
We don't lose
We don't lose
Naa naa naa

Yes we winning
Yea we winning
With or without you
You can throw shades all you want
I was just built for the winning
Naa naa naa
Yes we winning
Yes we winning
With or without you
You can throw shades all you want
I was just built for the winning
Naa naa naa

I'm the winner, I'm the champion
I'm the best, I will conquer it all
Forget the rest
From the very beginning
They could have guessed
When the push comes to shove
We stay blessed
I 'm the winner, I'm the champion
Winning
I will conquer it all
Oooh
From the very beginning
Winning, Winning
When the push comes to shove
Naa, naa, naa, naa

Cuz I don't get stressed
I keep pressing
No matter what the challenge is
No matter what the odds
Not gods not just men
At least we demigods
At least in our minds
At which point, why not
Recall my Mom struggling
To put clothes on our backs
The woman kept going
She never gave in
She never gave up
Then why would I now
Why would I ever stop
Why would I flop
Why would I let the ball drop
Never give up, never give in
Keep fighting until you win
And if you don't
You better die trying
I used to not get the job
Told to f off
Now it's a job
To hold the offers off

Winning
What a wonderful feeling
When you first had a vision
And it come to fruition
Gotta believe in yourself
Gotta believe in your dreams
Follow right after
Like you being pulled by a string
Motivation to make it
Make you go hard or go home
You weak or you strong
You gon quit or keep going
In the place that i was raised
We were built to perform
Innovate in every way
Rumble just like a storm
I got the heart of a lion
What don't break you
Make you go hard every time
So now I am thankful for trials
Cuz there's no fear in my eyes
Call it graffiti when I'm speaking to the people
Painting pictures with rhymes
Win!

I smell their doubt in the air
Throughout the atmosphere
Beyond the hemisphere
And still I don't care
I smell their doubt in the air
Throughout the atmosphere
Beyond the hemisphere
And still I don't care
I smell their doubt in the air
Throughout the atmosphere
Beyond the hemisphere
And still I don't care
Cuz
We don't lose
Naa naa naa

Yes we winning
Yea we winning
With or without you
You can throw shades all you want
I was just built for the winning
Naa naa naa
Yes we winning
Yes we winning
With or without you
You can throw shades all you want
I was just built for the winning
Naa naa naa

Winning, Winning
Oooh
Winning, Winning
Naa, naa, naa
Winning, Winning
Oooh
Winning, Winning
When the push comes to shove
Naa, naa, naa

Winning, winning, winning, you
Winning, winning, winning, you
Winning, winning, winning, you
Are you
Winning, winning, winning, you
Winning, winning, winning, you
Winning, winning, winning, you

The original song Winning from Dr. Pushkin's album Outlandish has garnered over 200,000 YouTube views so far on its music video.

While performing the song around Austin in 2023, Dr. Pushkin & Budukusu met Wyldthang, and they decided to make a remix that could bridge their cultures for something even more universal and impactful.
