[English]

That's the state of my, state of my, state of my head

That's the state of my, state of my, state of my head

It's been a long, bumpy ride, sittin' back in the saddle

It's time to get down, dirty up our knees in the battle

Oh, come on, round up the boys, gonna make the walls rattle

Oh, our flag is tattered, and our bones are shattered

But it doesn't matter 'cause we're movin' forward

Round 'em up, round 'em up, let's go

Round 'em up, let's go

Oh, my eyes are seein' red

Double vision from the blood we've shed

The only way I'm leavin' is dead

That's the state of my, state of my, state of my head

They don't know where we've been

We got that concrete-street skin

The only way I'm leavin' is dead

That's the state of my, state of my, state of my head

That's the state of my, state of my, state of my head

We've been shot up, beat up by the fallin' of the arrows

Yeah, I'm full of deep cuts, right down to the marrow

But there's no doubt we'll get out from the bottom of the barrel

Oh, our flag is tattered, and our bones are shattered

But it doesn't matter 'cause we're movin' forward

Round 'em up, round 'em up, let's go

Round 'em up, let's go

Oh, my eyes are seein' red

Double vision from the blood we've shed

The only way I'm leavin' is dead

That's the state of my, state of my, state of my head

They don't know where we've been

We got that concrete-street skin

The only way I'm leavin' is dead

That's the state of my, state of my, state of my head

That's the state of my, state of my, state of my head

That's the state of my, state of my, state of my head

Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now?

I'm comin' back for more

Do you feel me now? Do you feel me now?

I'm breakin' down your door

I'm not speakin' under my breath

'Cause the harder you push, the rougher I get

'Cause I'm not shakin' when the earth starts quakin'

Got my own foundation with no hesitation and the...

Oh, my eyes are seein' red

Double vision from the blood we've shed

The only way I'm leavin' is dead

That's the state of my, state of my, state of my head

They don't know where we've been

We got that concrete-street skin

The only way I'm leavin' is dead

That's the state of my, state of my, state of my head

The only way I'm leavin' is dead

That's the state of my, state of my, state of my head

The only way I'm leavin' is dead

That's the state of my, state of my, state of my head
