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 am 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 stalling, and falling
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 slowing down this attack
Quick jabs, I'm slamming 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
'Cause 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 am a fighter
I took my punches and bruises
And y'all can't stand me
'Cause I'm refusing to bow out
Even when I'm losing, I'm choosing
To keep abusing my enemies
Every hater, I'm schooling
Bring 'em to their knees
They live in 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 acting 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 going 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 am 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
