I know that look. You think I’ve had enough. Maybe I have. So what? I learned early how to laugh With a split lip and a bad excuse, How to talk shit through a bad night Like I had nothing left to lose. We made promises too young, Said we’d never turn into them, Then the years came in swinging Guess we’re still here in the end. Some stayed close. Some disappeared. Some show up when everything goes wrong. But put us in the same room, Give somebody Player Two And it feels like nobody ever left. So put my name beside the others. You already know the deal. I didn’t come all this way To watch from the side of the screen. I’M STILL IN THE FIGHT! Even when my hands start shaking, Even when the whole thing’s breaking, I’ll be there when the countdown hits. I’M STILL IN THE FIGHT! With the idiots I came here with, Every bruise, every stupid risk Yeah, I’d do the whole damn thing again. You can hit me hard enough To make me forget my name But you won’t make me walk away. Cheap food dying by the TV, Controllers thrown across the room, “You were cheating.” “No, you suck.” Same argument since twenty-two. Back when losing ruined Friday, Winning meant you talked all night, Funny how those stupid battles Ended up becoming part of life. Now there’s work and kids and distance, Plans that never line up right But start one match, Turn it up loud, And everybody’s back inside. So line us up against each other. We’ve been doing this for years. I know exactly how you fight. You know why I’m still here. I’M STILL IN THE FIGHT! Even when my hands start shaking, Even when the whole thing’s breaking, I’ll be there when the countdown hits. I’M STILL IN THE FIGHT! With the idiots I came here with, Every bruise, every stupid risk Yeah, I’d do the whole damn thing again. You can hit me hard enough To make me forget my name But you won’t make me walk away. Not tonight! Not this time! You want a round? Get in line! I used to think being tough Meant pretending nothing got to you. Nah. Sometimes you get wrecked. Sometimes everybody sees it. Then somebody yells your name And you get back up. GET ME BACK ON MY FEET! I’ve got names I carry with me Every single time I fight. The loud ones. The weird ones. The ones who swear they’re always right. The ones who make me lose my mind. And the ones I fucking love. COME ON! Someday We’ll be too old for this. Probably. But not tonight. I’M STILL IN THE FIGHT! Let me hear the whole room say it, If we’re here, then fucking play it I don’t care who takes me down. I’M STILL IN THE FIGHT! With the people that I came here with, Every loss was worth the hell of it Just to have everybody here right now. You can throw everything you’ve got my way I’M! STILL! HERE! I’m still in the fight! I’m still in the fight! One more round. Make it count.
