Lyrics

“The Boxers Song” by Taylor Hollingsworth
It was a boxing ring
Where he found his glory He would sing a song Before he’d knock ‘em gory And when his story
Hit the news corner Everyone would line up
To see the performance
And when you would see him step up to that ring It was like a prayer that he’d sing
He’d sing...
When I’m gone and just a memory I hope my demons don’t define me When I’m gone and just a memory I hope my demons don’t define me I hope my demons don’t define me
And then he’d do it
That’s when he’d knock ‘em out
But see it wasn’t for fame It wasn’t for money
He’d just give that away To feed the hungry
It would ease the pain
Of his mangled brain
And channel the aggression That he discovered
When you would see him step up to that ring It was like a prayer that he’d sing
He’d sing...
When I’m gone and just a memory I hope my demons don’t define me When I’m gone and just a memory I hope my demons don’t define me I hope my demons don’t define me
And then he’d do it He’d knock ‘em out
He would have done that anyway You know that’s what the critics say He would have done that anyway Even without all the pay
Because he likes to see them in pain He likes to hurt ‘em that way
He’d probably do it everyday
Of course that’s what the critics say
He’d knock ‘em down to the ground in the opening round He’d knock ‘em down to the ground in the opening round He’d knock ‘em down to the ground in the opening round He’d knock ‘em down to the ground in the opening round
He became a hero
A local legend
Until that one day
When he lost the edge
Because he couldn’t see Because his eyes were bloody He took one straight from Harlem Right between the teeth
And if you could’ve heard that whole room screamin’ As he went down they were singin’
They sang...
When I’m gone and just a memory I hope my demons don’t define me When I’m gone and just a memory I hope my demons don’t define me When I’m gone and just a memory I hope my demons don’t define me I hope my demons don’t define me I hope my demons don’t define me I hope my demons don’t define me
But it seems like they do
