Fighting With the Devil

[Verse]
I’ve been through Hell and back again
Each scar a map of where I’ve been
The devil swings
I take the hit
 I’m still here
And I won’t submit
[Chorus]
He tries real hard
But I won’t stay knocked down 
He throws his punches
I just refuse to lose
The devil tries real hard
But I won’t stay knocked down 
[Verse 2]
The ground’s my friend
We’ve met a lot
But I get back up
No second thought
I hear his laugh
I hear his cheer
But my heartbeat’s loud
It drowns his sneers
[Prechorus]
Black and blue
My body screams
But hope is louder than my dreams
[Chorus]
The devil tries real hard
But I won’t stay knocked down 
He throws his punches
I just refuse to lose
The devil tries real hard
But I won’t stay knocked down 
[Bridge]
When he swings his fist
And it lands on me
I plant my feet like an old oak tree
Bend but never break
That’s my creed
A stubborn fool
But it’s all I need
