Fighter - MandoPony

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.
