Lyrics

Every time I find myself in this old bind

Expressing a recurring situation of being stuck or constrained.

Watching the death of my hopes.

Observing the gradual demise of one's aspirations and desires.

In the ring so long gonna prove them wrong

Determined to persist despite challenges to disprove others' expectations.

I'm not knocked out, but I'm not on the ropes

Not completely defeated, but not entirely free from struggle.


I've got enough I left inside this tired heart

Despite weariness, possessing enough strength and determination.

to win this world and walk on my feet, know the trip

Confident in one's ability to succeed and move forward.


I may never get, everything I bet

Acknowledging the possibility of not achieving everything wagered.

but I'm a man who always copes

An individual adept at dealing with challenges and difficulties.

I'm hurting bad, and fight em at

Struggling intensely but not succumbing to defeat.

I'm not knocked out, but I'm not on the ropes

Not completely overwhelmed but not entirely free from adversity.


Everything that I hold me didn't mean

Realizing that possessions or achievements might not bring fulfillment.

'cause riding on this moment here and now, I know how

Acknowledging the importance of living in the present moment.


I've got enough I left inside this tired heart

Having the resilience within despite feeling worn out.

to win this world and walk on my feet, no defeat

Confident in the ability to overcome challenges without being defeated.


Gonna feel so good, when it's understood

Anticipating satisfaction when others understand the struggle.

but hold the rebirth of my hopes

Awaiting the resurgence of aspirations and desires.

In the ring so long gotta prove them wrong

Continuing to defy expectations despite a prolonged struggle.

I'm not knocked out, but I'm not on the ropes

Not completely subdued but still grappling with challenges.
