Head hits the canvas and there's
Stars in my eyes
Somewhere in a bedroom
My mama cries
Will they remember me
When I ain't the baddest in the game?
My baby's in my corner and she
Hates the shape I'm in
Every night put me back on ice
And take another one on the chin
They call in the doctor
But he can't fix me up
I'll never be the same
It's a reckless fool's errand
Gunnin' for the crown
'Cause the people burn your banner
Soon as you get knocked down
And these fair-weather followers
Won't help you off the ground
They'll just watch you crawl
Take heed before the fall
Daddy said there's no reason
To pick a fight at all
But that boy put his hands on me
So I jacked his jaw
Now I'm terrified
Got some busted knuckles
And I'm runnin' for my life
It's a reckless fool's errand
Gunnin' for the crown
'Cause the people burn your banner
Soon as you get knocked down
And these fair-weather followers
Won't help you off the ground
They'll just watch you crawl
Take heed before the fall
Said you better run
You better run
