Battle Wounds (Knocked Down)

I was knocked nine times, stood up 10
Lord forgive me for my sins
Hide my scars behind my grin
No one loves you in the end

I was knocked down nine times, stood up 10
Lord forgive me for my sins
Hide my scars behind my grin
'Cause no one loves you in the end

Imma talk my shit now
I suggest you sit down
You ain't wanna help me
Now you gotta miss out
They use me 'til they're done with me
All I can trust is me
Float like a butterfly
Stinging like a bumblebee (yeah)

Is you catchin' what I'm pitchin'
Put these niggas in submission
Tom Cruise, I'm on a mission
Think they call this tunnel vision
I've been workin', ain't no time for flirtin'
Make these niggas nervous
In these verses, I be really swervin'
Honestly, takes courage

Now look at me
In this mirror on the wall
I can see it all
The potential and the flaw
Progress or withdrawal
They build you up to watch you fall
Ain't nobody I can call
It's just a mirror on this wall

Now look at me
In this mirror on the wall
I can see it all
The potential and the flaw
Progress or withdrawal
They build you up to watch you fall
Ain't nobody I can call
It's just a mirror on this wall

Fell nine times, stood up 10
Lord forgive me for my sins
Hide my scars behind my grin
No one loves you in the end

I was knocked down nine times, stood up 10
Lord forgive me for my sins
Hide my scars behind my grin
'Cause no one loves you in the end
