[Verse 1]
Eyes closed this can't be it
Might've dozed off, no ambulance needed, I'm a champion
Cold floor hugging my cheeks
And my hands are sweating through the bandages
I didn't come this far to get knocked on my ass and stay there
So if it's a chance to win
I'm coming back again
Get up
My legs trembling as I channel this anger and adrenaline
Tho my minds scrambled like egg sandwiches
I can see people budging from their seat edges to full standing
And it seems as if their cheering me on
I feel the whole world cheering me on
I feel a wave coming as they fear that I'm gone
But I'm far far from it
Got little stars coming into my vision
A head rush
Still I shoot for the moon till every ounce of strength is summoned
Get out my face cause what ya
Don't understand is I embrace my struggles
Even if my hands were glass, fuck I'd still beat your ass
Cut you up until I broke all ten knuckles
So when you see tears in my ducts
And blood in my mouth
And sweat on my brow
Now matter how crystal clear it may look
Or how much I'd appear to give up
Any minute, it may be days, months, or years but I'm stuck
Bull headed in my ways like some grunt taped my hands to revolvers
Cuz I'm always sticking to my guns and
I'd off em
But how often are we awful just to cost em
The very thing we lost?
And it sucks but it's a circle that you have to follow in the wild
Seems wrong but there's only right turns so smile
Cuz it's either him or me
And I'm not gonna lose my chance so I'll
Take my chance in life
[Chorus]
In life
In love
This time I can't afford to lose
The one
For all
I'll do what I have to do
[Verse 2]
His eyes closed this must be it
On the floor cause I fucked his shit
With a broken nose and a busted lip
Final blow was an uppercut after that sucker punch to his upper ribs
And I was told to never quit, until hands went up with a count of ten
So if he's down again
Then I'm bound to win
I'll do whatever the fuck it takes
This nutcase just killed off the little voice saying to pace yourself
And control your angst
He just ripped it's arms and legs off in front of it's face
And there's no building too big, or cage bars too straight to bend
When he can expend any barricade
Even the sky ain't the limit for an astronaut
I'm in outer space, counting the days
And as I'm dazed
Head in the clouds for days and days
When I come down you better watch yourself
I'm just doing what my mama say
So what if my bed is made and I dug my grave?
In the end I feel like it cuts both ways
And lately
My body aches, I'm anxious, and determined to terminate this
Tho I'm losing my patience I won't let it slip
Got a tenacious grip, like a locked jaw and I'm dangerous
Step me and you just might trip on your laces
Cuz I've gotten the shit kicked out of me
To almost knocked out my braces
In a time and place where I had to stop
The only soul I had left was inside of my socks
But this was my last lap to get the last laugh
And prove to them what I've got
[Chorus]
In life
In love
This time I can't afford to lose
The one
For all
I'll do what I have to do
[Verse 3]
And now that I'm back up, backed up out of my corner
You know you're treading uncharted waters
I'm jaws just under the ocean and
By now you must've noticed by dorsal fin
Of course you did, it's simplistic
How could you miss it?
This cornucopia of lyrics I'm deliberately gifting
But I'm not actually fighting fist to fist
No I'm sitting, with a pen in my hand
Letting my hands do the dissing
Can't handle that?
Contentious finger tips?
Guess I don't need boxing gloves when my hand wraps
You're all punching bags to my damn raps
But take a stance back
Notice you're inside the fallout radius of the bomb strapped
To my chest, inside this used hazmat suit?
Shoot, that's gonna be a blast
What I'm trying to say is that
I'm gonna explode like gas hitting a lit match
And there's jack shit you can do to stop me
This may be a kamikaze
So take a seat, sick back, and watch me go off the rails like Ozzy
[Chorus]
In life
In love
This time I can't afford to lose
The one
For all
I'll do what I have to do
