Just Another Bum From The Neighborhood



Who am I kidding?
I ain't even
in the guy's league.
It don't matter,
'cause I was
nobody before.
I was nobody.
That don't
matter either,
ya know.
It really
don't matter
if I lose
this fight.
It really
don't matter
if this guy
opens my head,
either.
'Cause all I
wanna do is
go the distance.
Nobody's ever gone the distance with Creed. And if I can go that distance, ya see, and that bell rings, ya know, and I'm still standing, I'm gonna know for the first time in my life, ya see, that I weren't just another bum from the neighborhood.
