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
