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
