You said that you'd never hurt me Be the band-aid when I bleed But I guess that that band-aid was all made of paper 'Cause you never stuck to me And you say that you conquered the lion Without even tryin' But she only gets stronger She only bites harder and I only die fighting You can run, you can run But you know that I know just what you've done You can run, you can run But save those words for one on one So when the lights go down And the sun hits ground You should know that I won't back down (I'll be waitin' for you) Knuckles out And the guard in my mouth When you're hungry for the next round (I'll be waitin' for you) Oh-oh, oh-oh-ooh, I'll be waitin' for you Oh-oh, oh-oh-ooh, I'll be waitin' for you Oh-oh, oh-oh-ooh Mmm Yeah, don't take things too personal But you made shit personal Talkin' 'bout my bad habits Man, f*ck my bad habits Don't act like you got none You can run, you can run But you know that I know just what you've done You can run, you can run But save those words for one on one So when the lights go down And the sun hits ground You should know that I won't back down (I'll be waitin' for you) Knuckles out And the guard in my mouth When you're hungry for the next round (I'll be waitin' for you) Oh-oh, oh-oh-ooh, I'll be waitin' for you Oh-oh, oh-oh-ooh, I'll be waitin' for you Oh-oh, oh-oh-ooh Mmm Got my name in your mouth, forgive me when I knock it out I love it when you talk about me just 'cause you don't know yourself My jabs go go for broke, your teeth is on the floor Thirty million people watchin', do you still want more? Say gracious, gon' get it, I am winnin' but you isn't Call your dentist 'cause I meant this, I don't see no competition Goin' wild, Mikey Tyson, born a fighter, I will triumph Bitch I thought you knew I was comin' for your title So when the lights go down And the sun hits ground You should know that I won't back down (I'll be waitin' for you) Knuckles out And the guard in my mouth When you're hungry for the next round (I'll be waitin' for you) Oh-oh, oh-oh-ooh, I'll be waitin' for you Oh-oh, oh-oh-ooh, I'll be waitin', I'll be waitin' for you Oh-oh, oh-oh-ooh, I'll be waitin' for you
