I may fall
but I will stand the fuck back up
I may crawl
but I will stand the fuck back up
I may drop the ball
forget to call
burn every bridge
my steps befall
come crashing down
go up and smoke
be ridiculed
and called a joke
but when it's done
when I've hit the ground
when the world's all screaming
bitch, stay down
by my own damn grace
by my own damn light
I will reach within
bitch, I've still got fight
I'll dust off my knees
pull my boot straps tight
and I will stand the fuck back up
