[Verse]
Took a chance on a crooked line
Thought the world was mine this time
But the punch came fast and hit me raw
Taste the dirt yeah I’m in awe
[Chorus]
Live to fight man that's the deal
Scars will heal but pain's so real
Hard knocks teach what books can’t say
Make a call fight another day
[Verse 2]
Gut said go heart said stay
I chose blind in the heat of play
Now I’m worn but standing tall
Every stumble builds my wall
[Chorus]
Live to fight man that's the deal
Scars will heal but pain's so real
Hard knocks teach what books can’t say
Make a call fight another day
[Bridge]
The stage is set my move is wild
I’ll take the hits like someone riled
Mistakes sharpen the dullest blade
Strength arises from the shade
[Verse 3]
Sweat and fire dust and rain
Lessons carved into my veins
Fighting wrongs while chasing right
Every bruise a badge of night
