Yeah,
nineteen years old from Walsall.
Never got to say goodbye properly.
(deep breath)
Nan passed away, had to stand there tall Dry eyes at the
wake, held it down for them all (no tears)
They think I'm stocky,
tough, built like a wall But the grief's in my throat when
I walk down the hall
Rent's due, money's tight,
pocket's feeling small But I'm stepping in the ring,
gloves laced for the brawl
I'm changing up my life,
watch the tables turn From the ashes of the pain,
got a fire to burn
(watch me rise)
Building up a legacy,
lessons that I learn So my future kids can smile for the
name they earn
Yeah, we're climbing out the dirt They doubt me in the streets,
say I won't make a sound But like Carl Gallagher,
I'm turning things around
(growing up)
No handouts in the Midlands,
we fight for our ground Left hook,
right hook, keeping my feet on the mound
Doing this for family,
making them proud
No more quiet suffering,
I'm speaking it loud
For Nan.
(I promise) Nineteen, but the vision is clear.
