[00:08.17]I could have been a contender
[00:10.83]But my head wasn't cold enough
[00:16.30]As a child my wild eyes
[00:19.63]Made up what I was not
[00:31.60]Now the chains are at them
[00:35.22]And I don't even care
[00:39.73]I'm too young to be sure
[00:42.54]And I'm far too old to be scared
[00:47.44]By the gun, by the bullet
[00:49.31]By the trigger, by the time
[00:53.36]I could have been a contender
[00:55.38]By the last drop of blood
[00:57.46]That I could squeeze in my prime
[01:01.09]I'm gonna be a contender
[01:05.17]I'm gonna be a contender
[01:10.75]Well if you think its easy
[01:14.09]You best come well prepared
[01:18.64]I live in all my ends line
[01:22.32]And you'll have to kill me then
[01:26.42]I still love the taste of sweat
[01:29.88]And I love the smell of blood
[01:32.57]Oh yeah
[01:33.44]Alright
[01:34.66]I love the rattle in my head
[01:37.75]I love the fire in my lungs
[01:42.34]By the gun, by the bullet
[01:44.40]By the trigger, by the time
[01:48.36]I could have been a contender
[01:50.51]By the last drop of blood
[01:52.67]That I could squeeze in my prime
[01:56.03]I'm gonna be a contender
[02:01.98]You were right to
[02:04.41]Be mad about the things your mother never taught you
[02:08.24]'Cause I was there when the uppercut caught you
[02:11.92]I was there for the ten count
[02:17.31]To tell you the truth
[02:19.96]You're better off being making with them
[02:23.76]You're better off making with regret
[02:27.85]You're better off making with your truth
[02:31.71]I still put my money on you
[02:35.77]I still put my money on you
[02:40.12]I still put my money on you
[02:43.50]'Cause kid you've got hope

[03:03.33]By the gun, by the bullet
[03:05.12]By the trigger, by the time

[03:11.19]By the last drop of blood
[03:12.90]That I could squeeze in my prime
[03:16.91]I'm gonna be a contender
[03:18.72]By the gun, by the bullet
[03:20.62]By the trigger, by the time
[03:24.90]I could have been a contender
