Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gonna hit the ground running, like nothing s changed
Hey man, there s trouble up ahead
Hey man, did you hear what I said
You re either with me or you in my way
So if you re with me let me hear you say...
Yeah, that s what I m talking about!
I wanna hear you shout!
Make some noise!
Let it out!
Come on I wanna hear you get loud!
That s what I m talking about
If you re looking for a showdown, then you re in the right place
I ain't never gonna back down
Take a look at my face
Hey man, here s where the talking ends
Hey man, don t let me say it again
You re either with me or you re in my way
So if you re with me let me hear you say
Yeah, that s what I m talking about!
Let me hear you scream!
I wanna hear you shout!
Make some noise!
Let it out!
Come on I wanna hear you get loud!
That s what I m talking about
Ready or not you only get one shot
So you better be ready, are you ready?
