Undefeated
I can take more than you can dish out
Charge me full-bore
And see what I’m talking about
Find yourself head first in the ground
Without a sound
Not even a peep
From the weak surrounding me
Strength is my only option left
Everyone else tried their best
Before giving up, I guess
The power within me
Will give me the will to be
Stronger than he or she
Two against one, few against many
The battle has begun
But the war is never ending
Hell man!
You think you can understand
How the world just keeps repeating?
Think you have your "stones" in hand
Ready to take on the master plan?
You must be kidding!
At one time I was slang’in
Eight-ball’in and gang-bang’in
Roll’in hard, liv’in high
The one that could not be outdone
Takes the title & packs up his guns
-- And you wanna know why? –
‘Cause life is do or die!
And there comes a day when you have to say
Good-bye……and walk away (undefeated)
