Fighter
Lemmi brace myself for the days to come
All my hardwork all comes down to this
All those sleepless nights and the countless days,
trying to get my name in their mouths
I've taken my fair number of punches
I've been knocked down on some rounds
Fallen to my knees and still wanted to go some more
Cause I can't quit on it now I have to keep going
My body is bruised to the core
At times I feel I can't take any more hits
But I need to stand and move about in the ring,
long enough to see it through to the last round
For it needs to make sense at the end of the day
It needs to be rewarding when the curtains fall
Cause I've given it my all this far
I'll still give it some more if thats what it takes to come on top
