  • (Ayy ayy ayy)
    Everyday I wake up with my back against the wall
    Anytime you get up someone wants to see you fall
    If you're afraid to lose it all, you're never gonna win
    I'll be giving you the finger
    Sticking out my chin
    Boom, boom, boom
    Here comes the boom, boom, boom

    Here comes the knockout
    My time is right now
    Turning your lights out
    I'm throwing down
    Here comes the knockout
    Until the last round
    I'm throwing down
    Go start a fire, go start a fight
    No regrets, this is your life
    Here comes the knockout
    My time is right now
    I'm throwing down

    (Ayy ayy ayy)

    Are you living in a nightmare
    Are you living in a dream?
    Do you stand for something
    Will you fall for anything
    It's easier to count me out but you can count me in
    'Cause I'm giving you the finger
    Sticking out my chin
    Boom, boom, boom
    Here comes the boom, boom, boom

    Here comes the knockout
    My time is right now
    Turning your lights out
    I'm throwing down
    Here comes the knockout
    Until the last round
    I'm throwing down
    Go start a fire, go start a fight
    No regrets, this is your life
    Here comes the knockout
    My time is right now
    I'm throwing down, down, down
    Down, down
    Throwing down, down, down
    Down, down

    Did you really live your life or did it pass you by?
    What's it take to tell yourself
    You really were alive
    Look me in the eye

    Here comes the knockout
    My time is right now
    Turning your lights out
    I'm throwing down
    Here comes the knockout
    Until the last round
    I'm throwing down
    Go start a fire, go start a fight
    No regrets, this is your life
    Here comes the knockout
    My time is right now
    I'm throwing down
