Fightin Hard

If I could stroll 'cross the sands of time 
I'd call my cronies up an' drink some wine 
'Cause just the other day I heard you died 
Disappeared when you was in your prime 
An' I'm fightin' hard 
Stompin' 'round on my grandma land 
I held my little son in my hand 
I know he knowed that I understand 
He tryin' hard just to be a man, yeah 
An' he's fightin' hard 
I told him folks don't have a clue 
Where you're from or where you're goin' to 
An' sometime baby, gets so hard to deal 
With folks that believe wrestlin' is real 
An' we fightin' hard 
If I could stroll 'cross the sands of time 
I'd call my cronies up and drink some wine 
'Cause all we got's just a little time 
'Fore we all gotta say goodbye 
An' I'm fightin' hard 
An' I'm fightin' hard
