[Verse 1] 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 a thoughts 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 through the tower head on Every time you fall its only making your chin strong And I be in your corner like Mick, baby, til the end Or when you hear this song from that big lady [Pre-Hook] Until the referee rings the bell Until both your eyes start to swell Until the crowd goes home What we gonna do y'all? [Hook: Ryan Tedder] Give em hell, turn their heads Gonna live life til 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 2] 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 Text book version of the kid going nowhere fast And now I'm yelling kiss my a** It's gonna take a couple right hooks a few left jabs
For you to recognize that you really ain't got it bad [Pre-Hook] Until the referee rings the bell Until both your eyes start to swell Until the crowd goes home What we gonna do y'all? Hook: Ryan Tedder Give em hell, turn their heads Gonna live life til 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 What we gonna do? What we gonna do? What we gonna do? What we gonna do? ya'll What we gonna do? What we gonna do? What we gonna do? ya'll [Verse 3] 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'mma damn sure [Hook: Ryan Tedder] Give em hell, turn their heads Gonna live life til 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 gonna do kid?
