I've been knocked down flat,
got back on my feet
Learned to hold my temper
in the heat
Been through hells you can't imagine,
still I'm standing tall I don't go looking for a fight,
but I'll answer when it calls
Just because I'm older
doesn't mean I'm soft
I keep the other half caged,
but don't you piss it off
I never chose the violence,
I'd rather live in peace
But you come into my home,
and the cage gets released
I ain't too old,
I'm still dangerous You made the choice for me
— don't blame me for this They mistake my quiet for weakness,
my years for giving in
But there's a half of me in a damn cage you don't
want
to meet within
I built my life on peace,
that's the man I chose to be
But threaten what I love,
you'll meet the other me
Just because I'm older
doesn't mean I'm soft
I keep the other half caged,
but don't you piss it off
I never chose the violence,
I'd rather live in peace
But you come into my home,
and the cage gets released
I ain't too old,
I'm still dangerous You made the choice for me — don't blame
me for this
I don't start it,
never wanted it, I'd rather walk away
But push a man far enough,
there's hell to pay
Scars on my hands,
blood on my knuckles,
conscience clean
I protect what's mine
— you know what I mean
Just because I'm older
doesn't mean I'm soft
I keep the other half caged,
but don't you piss it off
It's not a choice
— I'd rather not choose violence
But they make me choose it when it's time for self-defense
I ain't too old,
I'm still dangerous You made the choice for me — don't blame
me for this
You made me choose violence.
I didn't want to.
But protect what's mine?
Yeah — that's what I'll do.
Caged violence isn't soft.
