[Verse 1: Brazilian rock female lead, fierce and fast] Gym above a bakery in a Rio summer heat Fifty kilos soaking wet and calluses on my feet Signed up for the open weight, the boys began to grin Little girl, they told me, they'll fold you like a tin Every morning running stairs up the hill at five Every night I'm on my back with somebody twice my size Coach just tells me, let them come, let them feel tall Bottom's not the floor, girl, bottom's where you hold them all [Pre-Chorus: Brazilian rock female lead] Let them stand above me Let them think they won I was born down here, baby Down here is where I'm from [Chorus: Brazilian rock female lead, huge] Get in my guard and you don't get out Lock my legs around you, now you're full of doubt Everybody thinks I'm finished, everybody's wrong Get in my guard and you don't get out [Verse 2: Brazilian rock female lead, harder] Final of the open and the champion's ninety kilos Shaved head and a smile like he's already signing photos Referee says fight, and he charges like a bull I pull guard and go down flat and let him take it all Crowd is groaning in the stands, they think I gave it up He's pressing on my chest like he's pouring out a cup But I'm breathing slow and easy while he's breathing like a train Ninety kilos tired now, and all of it in vain [Pre-Chorus: Brazilian rock female lead] Let them stand above me Let them think they won I was born down here, baby Down here is where I'm from [Chorus: Brazilian rock female lead, huge] Get in my guard and you don't get out Lock my legs around you, now you're full of doubt Everybody thinks I'm finished, everybody's wrong Get in my guard and you don't get out [Bridge: Brazilian rock female lead, guitar trill under the choke, fast and tight] Hips out, sweep him, now I'm climbing up his back Arm across his collar and I'm closing up the gap Squeeze it like a promise that I made at five a.m. Ninety kilos shaking, and he taps it out again [Verse 3: Brazilian rock female lead, triumphant] Lying on the mat with my medal on my chest Champion is sitting up and trying to catch his breath Leans down and asks me how I won it from below Everybody thinks the bottom is the end, I told him so [Chorus: Brazilian rock female lead, huge] Get in my guard and you don't get out Lock my legs around you, now you're full of doubt Everybody thinks I'm finished, everybody's wrong Get in my guard and you don't get out [Outro: Brazilian rock female lead] Down here is where I'm from [End]
