The Fighter

"...And I'm a fighter."

Half of the people just waitin' to see me fail.
Every time you fall, it's only making your chin strong.
Until the referee rings the bell, until both of your eyes start to swell, until the crowd goes home, what we gonna do, y'all?
Give 'em hell, turn their heads.
Give me scars, give me pain.
Then they'll say of me, "There goes the fighter. Here comes the fighter."
That's what they'll say of me.
"This one's a fighter."
And if I can last thirty rounds, there's no reason you should ever have your head down.
