The Fighter
Just waking up in the morning and to be well,
Quite honest with ya, I ain't really sleep well
(Ya ever feel like your train of thought's been derailed?
That's when you press on - Lee nails)
Half the population's just waitin to see me fail
Yeah right, you're better off trying to freeze hell
(Some of us do it for the females and others do it for the retail)
But I do it for the kids, life threw the towel in on
Every time you fall it's only making your chin strong
(And I'll be in your corner like Mick, baby, 'til the end
Or when you hear a song from that big lady)
Until the referee rings the bell
Until both your eyes start to swell
Until the crowd goes home
What we gonna do ya'll?
Give em hell, turn their heads
Gonna live life 'til we're dead
Give me scars, give me pain
Then they'll say to me, say to me, say to me
There goes the fighter, there goes the fighter
Here comes the fighter
That's what they'll say to me, say to me, say to me,
This one's a fighter
And if I can last thirty rounds
There's no reason you should ever have your head down
(Six foot five, two hundred and twenty pounds
Hailing from rock bottom, loserville, nothing town)
Text book version of a kid going nowhere fast
And now I'm yelling, "I got the last life"
(It's gonna take a couple right hooks, a few left jabs
For you to recognize you really ain't got it bad)
Until the referee rings the bell
Until both your eyes start to swell
Until the crowd goes home
What we gonna do ya'll?
Give em hell, turn their heads
Gonna live life 'til we're dead
Give me scars, give me pain
Then they'll say to me, say to me, say to me
There goes the fighter, there goes the fighter
Here comes the fighter
That's what they'll say to me, say to me, say to me,
This one's a fighter
Everybody put yo hands up
What we gonna do (hey!) y'all?
What we gonna do (hey!) y'all?
If you fall pick yourself up off the floor (get up)
And when your bones can't take no more (c'mon)
Just remember what you're here for
Cuz I know I'mma damn sure
Give em hell, turn their heads
Gonna live life 'til we're dead
Give me scars, give me pain
Then they'll say to me, say to me, say to me
There goes the fighter, there goes the fighter
Here comes the fighter
That's what they'll say to me, say to me, say to me,
This one's a fighter
'Til the referee rings the bell
'Til both ya eyes start to swell
'Til the crowd goes home,
What we gonna do kid?
