Lyrics

Another shot, another ounce of pain
Another white flag waves inside your brain
You've come so far and you can't stop now
Surrender is a thought you can't allow
You know that you are an achiever, achiever
Stick it to the non-believers, believers
You wanna win and nothing else
So stop and tell yourself...

CHORUS
You gotta dig deep
You gotta be strong
Prove the odds against you are wrong
You gotta dig deep
You gotta push hard
Don't let it all fall apart
You gotta dig deep
You gotta have faith
Put all that doubt right in its place
When you're dead and gone you can finally sleep
But you're alive right now, so you gotta dig deep

Dig deep, dig deep

It doesn't matter that your tank's on "E"
A quitter's not who you were born to be
The wall you hit is just in your head
Defeat's not the reason you sweat and bled
You know that you are an achiever, achiever
Stick it to the non-believers, believers
You wanna win and nothing else
So stop and tell yourself...

CHORUS

Deeper, the reaper ain't far behind
He wants to steal your soul but start with your mind
Like an enemy all up in your grill
Sayin' you're worth less than a ripped dollar bill
But you ain't down with that, you think something else
You'd throw a fist but you'd only be punchin' yourself
'Cause the reaper ain't a hater, he's just in your mind
So start digging deep...it's your time

CHORUS

Dig deep, dig deep, dig deep, dig deep
