Lyrics

[Intro]

Yeah, just waking up in the morning and to be well

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

Ya ever feel like your train of thought's been derailed?

That's when you press on, Lee Nails

Half the population's just waitin' 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'll be in your corner like Mick, baby, till the end

Or when you hear this song from that big lady

[PreChorus]

Until the referee rings the bell

Until both your eyes start to swell

Until the crowd goes home

What we gon' do, y'all?

[Chorus]

Give 'em hell, turn their heads

Gonna live life till 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, there goes a fighter

Here comes a fighter

That's what they'll say to me, say to me

Say to me, this one's a fighter

[Verse 1]

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

Textbook version of the kid going nowhere fast

And now I'm yelling, "Kiss my ass"

It's gonna take a couple right hooks, a few left jabs

For you to recognize you really ain't got it bad

[PreChorus]

Until the referee rings the bell

Until both your eyes start to swell

Until the crowd goes home

What we gon' do, y'all?

[Chorus]

Give 'em hell, turn their heads

Gonna live life till 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, there goes a fighter

Here comes a fighter

That's what they'll say to me, say to me

Say to me, this one's a fighter

Everybody put yo' hands up

[Bridge]

What we gon' do? What we gon' do?

What we gon' do? What we gon' do, y'all?

What we gon' do? What we gon' do?

What we gon' do, y'all? What we gon' do?

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

Give 'em hell, turn their heads

Gonna live life till 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, there goes a fighter

Here comes a fighter

That's what they'll say to me, say to me

Say to me, this one's a fighter

[Outro]

Till the referee rings the bell

Till both ya eyes start to swell

Till the crowd goes home

What we gon' do, kid?
