Still Here, Still Swinging

Tekst utworu

[Intro] Yeah—Rickstraw! [Verse 1] Came up from the bottom with the dust in my teeth, Calloused hands, cold nerve, no room underneath. They drew that net, said, “Let’s see who can stand,” I stepped to the line with the whole year in my hands. [Pre-Chorus] Last year, I took it. Remember my name. This year, same target—same fire, same aim. [Chorus] Eric Rickstraw—still here, still swinging! Net match, lights out, hear the whole place ringing! I won last year, I’ll win this one too! Fuck you, fuck everybody—come see what I do! From the bottom to the top, I clawed my way through! Eric Rickstraw—this match belongs to me and my crew! [Verse 2] Boot heels bite hard when the first round starts, Steel in my spine, no quit in my heart. You talk real big, but the score tells truth; I bring that back-road grit and a hell-raising fuse. No handout, no shortcut, no easy ride, Just work piled high and a mean right stride. When the pressure bears down, I don’t fold, I attack— Put the crown on the line, I’m taking it back. [Pre-Chorus] Last year, I took it. Remember my name. This year, same target—same fire, same aim. [Chorus] Eric Rickstraw—still here, still swinging! Net match, lights out, hear the whole place ringing! I won last year, I’ll win this one too! Fuck you, fuck everybody—come see what I do! From the bottom to the top, I clawed my way through! Eric Rickstraw—this match belongs to me and my crew! [Bridge] You can crowd that line, you can raise that noise, I’ve been fighting uphill since I was a boy. No crown stays safe when I’m coming around— I came from the dirt, now I’m taking this ground! [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] Eric Rickstraw—still here, still swinging! Net match, lights out, hear the whole place ringing! I won last year, I’ll win this one too! Fuck you, fuck everybody—come see what I do! From the bottom to the top, I clawed my way through! Eric Rickstraw—this match belongs to me and my crew! [Outro] Last year was mine. This year’s mine too. Rickstraw—coming through.
