[Verse 1]
You really hungry
But can be lazy
We wanna see you gonna support you
I wanna wish the best of you
You got the power your a good driver
[Pre-Chorus]
You will win
As soon as you get
The top of the racing cars really
Break for you
Will be the saver
But us all are writing up to win
[Chorus: Repeat Twice]
Go my hero, Go to the top
And we'll be waiting for you, always
Go my hero, Go to the top
We know you can be the number one
Go Go
[Verse 2]
We really want to
See you tomorrow
Go to first stand fighting for glory
We know you can be the champion
You got the talent you got the power
