I was down, but I'm not out I can't be heard, so it's time to shout You can try to hold me back But you'd best get ready for an attack I won't back down, Because I'm a fighter. Nothing's gonna bring me down I'm a fighter.
I was in the dirt But it can't hurt Any worse than my pride Inside reeling Feeling like a part of me died They say when you're on the ground You've got nowhere to go but up I'm stallin, and fallin, Had the lift of a semi truck
But I hit as hard as a truck fully loaded I exploded and brought the hurt I guess that's why they call me Mac Now they're in the dirt and I'm back And I won't be slowin' down this attack Quick jabs, I'm slammin' anyone Who flaps their gums
Y'all got no idea where I'm from Six inches from six feet underground I was defying death daily Like a trick candle I will never go out The fire keeps burning Maybe that's what it's all about
No matter how hard you fall You gotta be your own salvation Cuz no one will help you No one will end that stagnation, Migration is the only way to change your location Adaptation to the situation, aspirations for more It leads to retaliation Frustration just gives you concentration for Future confrontations Now I'm the acclimation Of all the pain, Scars remain, but the horizon is bright So I'mma never quit the fight
I was down, but I'm not out I can't be heard, so it's time to shout You can try to hold me back But you'd best get ready for an attack I won't back down, Because I'm a fighter. Nothing's gonna bring me down I'm a fighter.
I took my punches and bruises And y'all can't stand me 'Cuz I'm refusing to bow out, Even when I'm losing, I'm choosing to keep abusing my enemies Every hater, I'm schoolin' Bring em to their knees They livin' a fantasy if they think They're stopping me from ruling the ring I'll be king until the day that I die Now where did everybody go Who thought I couldn't get by? It ain't the end of the show Till the K.O. Oh! Now you wanna
Be in my corner? Now your actin' like my buddy? Well where the hell were you when I was on the ground You thought it was funny. So honey, forgive me for goin on Like that battery bunny, but now I'm Energized to never stop running
Yeah, you fueled me up for a fight that I could never have won So I guess I'd be remiss if I didn't thank you in the long run That's just how it goes, when your foes become the ones who keep you going on I'll never stop getting stronger, the longer I live, the more it burns bright The fire inside blazes on, the world turns on us all But I promise to stand tall And fight.
I was down, but I'm not out I can't be heard, so it's time to shout You can try to hold me back But you'd best get ready for an attack I won't back down, Because I'm a fighter. Nothing's gonna bring me down I'm a fighter.
Even if everybody is against you... Even if nobody believes in you... Even if they say that you're too little to go on... You just show them: You are a fighter. You will prove them wrong. Just remember the lyrics to this song -- you will overcome
