[Intro: arena boos, one war drum] Boo Louder [Hook: call-and-response, crowd gang vocals] Boo me louder! (Boo!) I can't hear you Boo me louder! (Boo!) Every one of you, I feed off you Forty thousand came to watch me fall So boo me louder, motherfuckers, I can take it all [Verse 1: stomp and clap] Tunnel smell like popcorn, sweat and spilled beer Hometown hero on the posters, I'm the villain in here Announcer stumbled when he said the town I'm from Never heard of it? Keep listenin', you'll know it when I'm done Kid in a jersey threw a soda at my head I caught it, took a sip, and saluted him instead Thirty-one and oh, they say he's never touched the mat I been on the mat so long I signed a lease on that They got my face on a shirt with a target on the chest I'mma sign 'em when it's over for whoever booed the best Cutman named Gus, sixty-eight, deaf in one ear Swear to God he thinks the booin' is the loudest cheer Mama's watchin' on a phone in a kitchen two states away Said, baby, if they boo you, then you got somethin' to say [Hook: call-and-response, crowd gang vocals] Boo me louder! (Boo!) I can't hear you Boo me louder! (Boo!) Every one of you, I feed off you Forty thousand came to watch me fall So boo me louder, motherfuckers, I can take it all [Verse 2: war drums build] Round one, he's quick, like a rumor in a church Round three, he split my eye, and I smiled 'cause it hurt Round five, I'm on a knee and the whole place sings Closest that I ever been to feelin' like a king Round six, seven, eight, I'm a wall with a pulse Every shot he lands, I nod like I'm checkin' his results Ref keep sayin', you good? I said, look at him, not me Golden boy is breathin' like he swallowed half the sea Boo me louder, I can hear the doubt between the noise There's a crack in forty thousand, there's a tremble in the voice [Beat Switch: double-time live drums, horn blasts] Round twelve, bell rings, and I meet him in the middle Every boo they gave me, I been savin' just a little Left hook built from every "no" I ever got Uppercut for every teacher swearin' I'm a waste of a spot Golden boy is wobblin', golden boy is on the rope Golden boy is lookin' at the crowd to throw him hope And the crowd don't know what to do with its mouth Forty thousand people with the volume shut down Then that kid in the jersey stands up on his seat And he starts it, my name, on a stompin' beat [Chant: crowd, stomp stomp clap] Mer-cer! Mer-cer! Mer-cer! Mer-cer! [Verse 3: half-time, heavy drums] Judges hand it up, unanimous, I'm on my knees Forty thousand chantin' me, same ones throwin' me debris Promoter on the apron, says you got a home here, son Mic up in my face, how it feel to be the one? I said, nah, give it back, I don't want it sweet and small 'Cause the cheers made him pretty, and the boos made me a wall [Final Hook: call-and-response, crowd gang vocals] Boo me louder! (Boo!) I can't hear you Boo me louder! (Boo!) That's the only sound I'm used to Next town, next arena, next one standin' tall Boo me louder, motherfuckers, I can take it all [Outro: crowd booing, laughing] Louder Thank you
