Fighter

Jimmy grew up Shooting down little toy soldiers Daddy was gone, fightin' a war Mama worked hard And every day she looked a little bit older But Jimmy got strong, growing up poor He had a letter tucked away That got him through the darkest day His daddy's words burned in his mind He would learn how true they were in time You better be a fighter Give it all you got and never let go Nothing's gonna stop you if you don't say "no" Cuz if you've got a dream baby you ain't broke You better be a fighter Give it all you got and never look back You can be the ruler of your one room shack Since the weight of the world ain't getting any lighter You better be a fighter You better be a fighter Jimmy grew up Playing hard in the streets of the city Where life's a game he had to learn well Jimmy quit school Couldn't get a job he was strung out in the alley And every day felt just like livin' in hell He had a letter tucked away That got him through the darkest day His daddy's words burned in his mind He would learn how true they were in time You better be a fighter Give it all you got and never let go Nothing's gonna stop you if you don't say "no" Cuz if you've got a dream baby you're a pro You better be a fighter Give it all you got and never look back You can be the ruler of your own?? Since the weight of the world ain't getting any lighter You better be a fighter You better be a fighter When you think you're losin' And your back's against the wall Don't give up, You won't fall You better be a fighter Give it all you got and never let go Nothing's gonna stop you if you don't say "no" Cuz if you've got a dream baby you're a pro You better be a fighter Give it all you got and never look back You can be the ruler of your one room shack Since the weight of the world ain't getting any lighter You better be a fighter You better be a fighter You better be a fighter
