Some joker with a sinister smile thought that he could roll me,
I hit him so hard that I busted my wrist and that’s just the start of my story.
Lifted up my collar tried to hide from the rain I still had a long way to go,
danger lurked in every alleyway my state of mind was at an all-time low.
CHORUS
Only you can protect yourself only you can fight
Only you can decide your fate and get you through the night.
I heard a noise in a darkened street I slowed down and I held my breath,
Some silhouettes slowly came up to me in their eyes all I saw was death.
CHORUS
I took a beating like never before, there was no way that I could know,
I reached inside me to a hidden place, I felt a power inside me grow.
I woke up in a hospital bed I didn’t know which one or where
I saw some people who were looking at me
I couldn’t speak just had to stare.
They said that I was in a bit of a state I was lucky still to be alive,
a solitary witness found me lying there
and said that I’d been attacked by five.
