I could have been a contender, but my head wasn't cold enough.
As a child, my wild eyes made up for what I was not.
Yeah!!!
Now the chains are at home and I don't even care.
I'm too young to be sure and I'm far too old to be scared. Chorus
By the gun, by the bullet, by the trigger, by the time. I could have been a contender.
By the last drop of blood that I could squeeze from my pride. I'm gonna be a contender. I'm gonna be a Contender Well if you think its easy, you best come well prepared.
I live in no man's land, and you'll have to k** me there.
I still love the taste of sweat and I love the smell of blood. Oh Yeah! Oh Yeah!
I love the rattle in my head.I love the fire in my lungs Chorus You were right too. Ain't matter bout the things your mother never taught ya cause I was there when the upper cut caught ya. I was there for the 10 count. (Woo hoo hoo)
To tell you the truth you're better being naked with d**h. You're better off making with regret. You're better off making with your truth.
I'd still put my money on you x 3
Cause kid you got heart Solo
Chorus x 2
