I took a beating in 2003

At least I improved my threshold for pain


See, my eyes swell up and poured out blood

The next six months just cleaning it up

The doctor said he'd stitch up the cut for me

My next beating in two weeks


I've been taking a beating in 2004

Yeah, only two months have passed by and I'm already on the floor


I took a baseball bat straight to the knees

And buckled over on the cold Brooklyn streets

I said, "Doctor, help me back to my feet."

He said to me, "I'll see you in two weeks."


And if I take beating (beating) in 2005 (beating)

It'll be a miracle (beating) if I'm still alive (beating)
