Fighter

[00:00.97] I was down, but I'm not out
[00:02.75] I can't be heard, so it's time to shout
[00:06.40] You can try to hold me back
[00:10.04] But you'd best get ready for an attack
[00:13.64] I won't back down,
[00:15.46] Because I'm a fighter.
[00:19.19] Nothing's gonna bring me down
[00:21.88] I'm a fighter.
[00:26.30] I was in the dirt
[00:27.29] But it can't hurt
[00:29.16] Any worse than my pride
[00:30.04] Inside reeling
[00:30.99] Feeling like a part of me died
[00:32.79] They say when you're on the ground
[00:34.53] You've got nowhere to go but up
[00:36.31] I'm stallin, and fallin,
[00:37.26] Had the lift of a semi truck
[00:39.19] But I hit as hard as a truck fully loaded
[00:41.87] I exploded and brought the hurt
[00:43.69] I guess that's why they call me Mac
[00:46.34] Now they're in the dirt and I'm back
[00:48.10] And I won't be slowin' down this attack
[00:49.91] Quick jabs, I'm slammin' anyone
[00:51.79] Who flaps their gums
[00:52.71] Y'all got no idea where I'm from
[00:55.42] Six inches from six feet underground
[00:57.20] I was defying death daily
[00:59.03] Like a trick candle I will never go out
[01:01.75] The fire keeps burning
[01:02.60] Maybe that's what it's all about
[01:05.42] No matter how hard you fall
[01:06.33] You gotta be your own salvation
[01:08.15] Cuz no one will help you
[01:09.02] No one will end that stagnation,
[01:11.76] Migration is the only way to change your location
[01:13.50] Adaptation to the situation, aspirations for more
[01:17.30] It leads to retaliation
[01:19.05] Frustration just gives you concentration for
[01:21.78] Future confrontations
[01:22.69] Now I'm the acclimation
[01:24.45] Of all the pain,
[01:25.34] Scars remain, but the horizon is bright
[01:29.04] So I'mma never quit the fight
[01:29.94] I was down, but I'm not out
[01:33.54] I can't be heard, so it's time to shout
[01:36.28] You can try to hold me back
[01:39.84] But you'd best get ready for an attack
[01:43.51] I won't back down,
[01:46.27] Because I'm a fighter.
[01:49.82] Nothing's gonna bring me down
[01:51.62] I'm a fighter.
[01:57.14] I took my punches and bruises
[02:10.76] And y'all can't stand me
[02:12.57] 'Cuz I'm refusing to bow out,
[02:13.49] Even when I'm losing, I'm choosing
[02:15.28] To keep abusing my enemies
[02:18.02] Every hater, I'm schoolin'
[02:19.82] Bring em to their knees
[02:20.78] They livin' a fantasy if they think
[02:23.48] They're stopping me from ruling the ring
[02:25.20] I'll be king until the day that I die
[02:27.00] Now where did everybody go
[02:29.86] Who thought I couldn't get by?
[02:31.63] It ain't the end of the show
[02:33.46] Till the K.O.
[02:34.32] Oh! Now you wanna
[02:36.15] Be in my corner? Now your actin' like my buddy?
[02:37.96] Well where the hell were you when I was on the ground
[02:41.68] You thought it was funny.
[02:42.57] So honey, forgive me for goin on
[02:44.36] Like that battery bunny, but now I'm
[02:47.07] Energized to never stop running
[02:48.86] Yeah, you fueled me up for a fight that I could never have won
[02:52.52] So I guess I'd be remiss if I didn't thank you in the long run
[02:57.01] That's just how it goes, when your foes become the ones who keep you going on
[03:01.55] I'll never stop getting stronger, the longer I live, the more it burns bright
[03:06.14] The fire inside blazes on, the world turns on us all
[03:10.68] But I promise to stand tall
[03:12.45] And fight.
[03:13.39] I was down, but I'm not out
[03:16.92] I can't be heard, so it's time to shout
[03:19.78] You can try to hold me back
[03:23.33] But you'd best get ready for an attack
[03:26.98] I won't back down,
[03:28.75] Because I'm a fighter.
[03:32.43] Nothing's gonna bring me down
[03:36.07] I'm a fighter.
[03:40.57] Even if everybody is against you...
[03:47.85] Even if nobody believes in you...
[03:50.56] Even if they say that you're too little to go on...
[03:53.26] You just show them: You are a fighter.
[03:56.95] You will prove them wrong.
[03:59.66] Just remember the lyrics to this song -- you will overcome.
