Born for This
Royal Deluxe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been tried, and you know I've been tested
But I won't back down, no I'll never surrender
I've seen the proof, I know the truth
This is what I was made to do

I was born for this
I was born for this
I get hit, and I might start bleeding
But I'm not on the floor staring at the ceiling
I'll give you something to believe in
About to show you now that it's more than just a feeling

I was born for this
Baby I was born for this

Never met a match I couldn't handle
No one else could ever hold a candle
Get ready for a battle cause you know…

That I was born for this
I was born for this
Baby I was born for this
I was born for this

Never met a match I couldn't handle
No one else could ever hold a candle
Get ready for a battle cause you know…

I was born for this




I tell you I was born for this
Ain't nothing gonna stop me now
