I just wanna tell you, the little bit i've learned
you know theres a story, behind every scare i've earned
you know i've fallen outta line, i've taken some hits, i've dug my way outta all kinds of [bad word] 
and i wish you , you didn't have to see this

someday you know i might not be around
someday you'll have to carve your own way out
someday your gonna have to fight another round
don't ever let them kick when your down 
don't ever let them kick when your down 

i just wanna tell you, how hard this life can be
your in my footsteps so if you follow me
you'll never back down , you'll chase your dreams and if they fall apart you'll know what this means
i hope you, understand me

when i say

someday you know i might not be around
someday you'll have to carve your own way out
someday your gonna have to fight another round
don't ever let them kick when your down 
don't ever let them kick when your down

i just wanna give you
i just wanna give you
a better life then i had
a better life then i had

someday you know i might not be around
someday you'll have to carve your own way out
someday your gonna have to fight another round
don't ever let them kick when your down 
don't ever let them kick when your down
