The Fighter

Yeah

Just waking up in the morning and to be well

Quite honest with you, I ain't really sleep well

You ever feel like your train of thoughts been derailed?

That's when you press on, Lee Nails

Half the population's just waiting to see me fail

Yeah, right, you're better off tryna freeze hell

Some of us do it for the females

And others do it for the retails

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 be in your corner like Mick, baby, 'til the end

Or when you hear this 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 y'all?

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 a fighter (oh)

There goes a fighter (oh)

Here comes a fighter (oh)

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, "Kiss my ass"

It's gon' 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 gon' do y'all?

Give 'em hell (give them hell), turn their heads (turn their heads)

Gonna live life 'til we're dead ('til we're dead, yo)

Give me scars (give me scars), give me pain (give me pain)

Then they'll say to me, say to me, say to me

There goes a fighter (oh)

There goes a fighter (oh)

Here comes a fighter (oh)

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 gon' do? (Hey)

What we gon' do? (Hey)

What we gon' do? (Hey)

What we gon' do y'all? (Hey)

What we gon' do? (Hey)

What we gon' do? (Hey)

What we gon' do y'all? (Hey)

What we gon' do?

If you fall pick yourself up off the floor (get up)

And when your bones can't take no more

Just remember what you're here for

'Cause I know I'ma 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 a fighter (oh)

There goes a fighter (oh)

Here comes a fighter (oh)

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 gon' do kid?
