Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've come too far to lose, so go ahead and try me
You know I've just begun, just begun
You've never seen a fight like this before
(Like this before)
I take you down and leave you wanting more
(More)
(Cannot ignore)
You've never seen a fight like this before
(Yeah)
Feel the pain, I bring down on you
You won't deny my will, 'cause what I start I will follow through
Craving all that I can see
Making something out of me
You've never seen a fight like this before
(Like this before)
I take you down and leave you wanting more
(More)
You've crossed the line that I cannot ignore
(Cannot ignore)
You've never seen a fight like this before
(Yeah)
You've never seen a fight like this before
(Like this before)
I take you down and leave you wanting more
(More)
You've crossed the line that I cannot ignore
(Cannot ignore)
You've never seen a fight like this before
(Yeah)
