Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You ain't ready, you ain't ready
You ain't ready
You ain't, you ain't ready for me
[Verse 2]
A little bit of love, a little bit of grief
A little bit of pain and misery
A little bit of strife in life
I fight and I survive
[Verse 3]
My back is getting pushed up against the wall
I'm never giving up, I give my all
I'm never looking back, attack (No fear)
It's in the past
[Verse 4]
Stand up, stand up
Stand up, you ain't ready for me
[Verse 5]
Give me your best shot, the stronger I stand
Not looking for sympathy
What doesn't kill me makes me who I am
A soldier fights till he's free
You ain't ready for me
[Verse 6]
You ain't ready (No)
You ain't ready (No)
You ain't ready (No)
You ain't, you ain't ready for me
[Verse 7]
A little bit of hope, a little bit of hurt
A little bit of get-what-you-deserve
Dragging through the mud and blood (Get up)
I've had enough
[Verse 8]
Am I getting through? Time to to come alive
Do you wanna live before you die?
Hold on to your truth till you (Break through)
You'll never lose
[Verse 9]
Stand up, stand up
Stand up, you ain't ready for me
[Verse 10]
Give me your best shot, the stronger I stand
Not lookin' for sympathy
What doesn't kill me makes me who I am
A soldier fights till he's free
You ain't ready for me
[Verse 11]
You ain't ready (No)
You ain't ready (No)
You ain't ready (No)
You ain't, you ain't ready for me
[Verse 12]
Stand up, stand up
Facing the lions
Stand up
You ain't ready no, you ain't ready no
[Verse 13]
Stand up, stand up
Facing the fire
Stand up
You ain't ready no, you ain't ready for me
You ain't ready for me
[Verse 14]
Give me your best shot, the stronger I stand
Not looking for sympathy
What doesn't kill me makes me who I am
A soldier fights till he's free
You ain't ready for me
[Verse 15]
You ain't ready (No)
You ain't ready (No)
You ain't ready (No)
You ain't, you ain't ready for me
