[Verse 1] Lace up slow Check the split lip Wrap my hands Till the bones fit Mirror on the wall Got that hard-set stare Counting my breath Like I’m already there [Pre-Chorus] The room feels small When the door shuts tight Old sins waking up In a quiet night I’m not scared I’m just wired right One more round And I step to the light [Chorus] Gotta brawl with the best of them (Gotta brawl) Fists of steel, pain to feel (Fists of steel) Street boxing on a quiet night (quiet night) For a prize that doesn’t exist Doesn’t exist [Verse 2] Tape on the knuckles Scuffed-up shoes Bad luck grin And nothing to lose Macho bullshit and infamy (choke on it) Every scar got a name on me I walk in hard With a dead calm face Heart like a drum In a cage of lace [Pre-Chorus] The crowd ain’t loud It’s just me and air One clean shot And I’m halfway there No crown to claim No saints to please Just this ache in my jaw And the fire in my teeth [Chorus] Gotta brawl with the best of them (Gotta brawl) Fists of steel, pain to feel (Fists of steel) Street boxing on a quiet night (quiet night) For a prize that doesn’t exist Doesn’t exist [Bridge] If I fall, let me fall square If I rise, then I rise right there No grand speech No hero light Just one more swing In the hush of night [Final Chorus] Gotta brawl with the best of them (Gotta brawl) Fists of steel, pain to feel (Fists of steel) Street boxing on a quiet night (quiet night) For a prize that doesn’t exist Doesn’t exist
