Been a long time, been a long time
Wrestled to the dirt now I'm back on my grind
I took a trip to the borderlines
And I doused my head in some upstream brine
I saw a man in a two-tone coat
Told me everything he liked about the songs I wrote
Turned his head and to my surprise
He had fire on his tongue and green in his eyes
Oooo, I won't let him get the best of me, no
Oooo, take the money just leave me be, Oooh

Hey! I've been rollin' with the punches
Hey! I've been rollin' with the punches

Hey! I've been rollin' with the punches
Hey! I've been rollin' with the punches
Rollin' with the punches, yeah

Been a long time, been a long time
Look into my eyes tell me what do you find?
I had enough with you missin' deadlines
Demon with a dollar's been wasting my time
Send him back to his fire hole
Take him to the cleaners with a sword of brimstone
And tell the rest of your hungry dogs
That I've got a new weapon just to rule them all
I need your help like I need blood loss
Words are for the weak with an empty cause
Give me what I want or I'll take it for myself, yeah

Hey! I've been rollin' with the punches
Hey! I've been rollin' with the punches

Hey! I've been rollin' with the punches
Hey! I've been rollin' with the punches
Hey! I've been rollin' with the punches
Hey! I've been rollin' with the punches
