Punches Lyrics

One-two-three, bitch take a look at me

Fists of fury, I don't go down easily

Fight till I bleed like Muhammad Ali

Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee

One-two-three, now I'm stepping in the ring

Bloody murder in my eyes, even as I start to cry

Eyes on the prize, eyes on the prize

You chose to take the fight, you make 'em say goodnight

Punches, punches keep throwing punches

Your papa says to you just keep throwing punches

Why though, why? Why throw these punches?

For glory, for pain, emotional security?

One-two-three, says the blurry referee

Legs feel weak, everything is hazy

Caught me with a lucky shot, I feel like an astronaut

But every time you knock me down, I come back to take the crown

One-two-three, bitch take a look at me

Thought you had the upper hand, I'm making you seize

Hungry from the street, ima cut you up like meat

I have to stand my ground, and make my papa proud

Punches, punches keep throwing punches

Brains getting splattered but you keep throwing punches

People in your corner says keep throwing punches

Why though, why? I don't wanna throw no punches

One-two-three, now we're hitting round 3

Strength is fading, arms are getting lazy

Chest is heavy and my feet are unsteady

But inside of my mind lies a demon deep inside

Punches, punches keep throwing punches

Can't see straight but you keep throwing punches

Why though, why? Why throw these punches

For glory, for pain, emotional security?

Unleashing the beast means you've found yourself in desperation

Grasping on the ropes, take a breath — take a respiration

Throw a fatal counter blow, bitch now you're in my zone

Take a look at those eyes and you see them start cry

Punches, punches please no more punches

Anything you want, please no more punches

His words empathize in your mind, "no more punches"

The crowd screams on saying keep throwing punches!

Punches, punches you keep throwing punches

Body's laying on the ground — you kept throwing punches

One two three, ding ding your the king

For glory, for pain, emotional security

Ha! Like Rocky Balboa once said

"It's not about how hard you can hit"

It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving foward
