"We Want War" lyrics
I was born to lose and learned to win
Never had the nicest clothes or perfect skin
Never had a stable crew or girlfriend
Every time I bring it up it hurts again
I've been through the mud and I crawled in the dirt
And I tasted my blood, I threw up on my shirt
And I've fought and I've lost and I've dropped like a rock to the bottom
And somehow I didn't give up, made it work
You can take the money 'cause I can take the pain
Take my family from me, I can take the weight
Take my ammunition, I will swing a blade
If you don't take my life, I will find a way
Ayy, I'm a machine, I am a beast
It takes a gun to remind me I bleed
It takes an army of soldiers to stop me
Too much heart to die on my knees
When I fell, then I got back up
Every time that I had bad luck
I just weather the storm
Never headed to shore when the sea got rough
Every day that I'm too beat down
Every night that they don't reach out
I'm stronger because of it, water has blood in it
Sharks that are coming ain't takin' me now
Some will die but the sun will rise
Just like it has before
Bullets fly but the blood will dry
We'll load our guns once more
We will rise and we'll risk our lives
This is how heroes are born
We will fight through the darkest night
Won't back down, we want war
I was born a boy and made a man
Never been the type of guy to take commands
I was never popular or great in class
And when they box me in, I break the glass
Even when they bullied me, I'd shake they hands
Smile for the camera and fake a laugh
Every time I let 'em win, I take it back
I hate the fact, I remember and I can't relax
I never gave up and I stayed on my path through the stars
Stayed up all night on my raft with the sharks
Dug my own grave and got used to the pain
The longer I laid in the dark
Could fight the devil now, I'm made of metal now
I know myself, on a different level now
I'll never settle down, I push the pedal down
I'm ready to wrestle, wait for the bell to sound
I'm takin' the teeth of my demons and carvin' my name in the trees
I'm burnin' the bridges I already crossed
So I know exactly where I've been
I carry a bucket and catch every drop of the blood
That these monsters are makin' me bleed
I'll never give up and I'll never give in
I'll fight for as long as I breathe
Some will die but the sun will rise
Just like it has before
Bullets fly but the blood will dry
We'll load our guns once more
We will rise and we'll risk our lives
This is how heroes are born
We will fight through the darkest night
Won't back down, we want war
I don't back down, I do not quit
I don't take L's, I do anything to win
I don't back out, I don't give in
I just give 'em hell because all I do is win, win, win, win
Some will die but the sun will rise
Just like it has before
Bullets fly but the blood will dry
We'll load our guns once more
We will rise and we'll risk our lives
This is how heroes are born
We will fight through the darkest night
Won't back down, we want war
Never had the nicest clothes or perfect skin
Never had a stable crew or girlfriend
Every time I bring it up it hurts again
I've been through the mud and I crawled in the dirt
And I tasted my blood, I threw up on my shirt
And I've fought and I've lost and I've dropped like a rock to the bottom
And somehow I didn't give up, made it work
You can take the money 'cause I can take the pain
Take my family from me, I can take the weight
Take my ammunition, I will swing a blade
If you don't take my life, I will find a way
Ayy, I'm a machine, I am a beast
It takes a gun to remind me I bleed
It takes an army of soldiers to stop me
Too much heart to die on my knees
When I fell, then I got back up
Every time that I had bad luck

Never headed to shore when the sea got rough

We will rise and we'll risk our lives
