Fighting For It All Lyrics

You can try to keep me down
You can try to keep me under
But you'll never get my will,
You'll never take my will to fight
'Cause I was born at the bottom of this mountain
I'm scaling and I'll probably climb it ,
Climb it till the day I die

All the things I know I needed
Just keeps me going
All the things I never had
Just keeps me wanting it more
Fighting for it all

I know I'm not that pretty
I'm only average smart
With an overwhelming uncanny need just to need to survive
Honey, you can dig a grave six feet under
But you'll have to take me up
'Cause you know I won't be going high

All the things I know I've needed
Just keeps me searching
All the things I never had
Just keeps me wanting it more
Fighting for it all

I never had a hero
Never met a saint
And there's nothing on this earth I can take with me
Anyway

All the things I know I've needed
Just keeps me going
All the things I never had
Just keeps me wanting it more
Fighting for it all
Fighting for it all

So, you can try to keep me down
You can try to keep me under
But you'll never get my will,
You'll never take my will to fight

You can try to keep me down
You can try to keep me under
But you'll never get my will, 
You'll never take my will to fight
'Cause I was born at the bottom of this mountain
I'm scaling and I'll probably climb it ,
Climb it till the day I die

All the things I know I needed
Just keeps me going
All the things I never had
Just keeps me wanting it more
Fighting for it all

I know I'm not that pretty
I'm only average smart
With an overwhelming uncanny need just to need to survive
Honey, you can dig a grave six feet under
But you'll have to take me up
'Cause you know I won't be going high

All the things I know I've needed
Just keeps me searching
All the things I never had
Just keeps me wanting it more
Fighting for it all

I never had a hero
Never met a saint
And there's nothing on this earth I can take with me
Anyway

All the things I know I've needed
Just keeps me going
All the things I never had
Just keeps me wanting it more
Fighting for it all
Fighting for it all

So, you can try to keep me down
You can try to keep me under
But you'll never get my will, 
You'll never take my will to fight

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love- "I know I'm not that pretty, I'm only average smart, with an uncanny overwhelming need, just a need to survive"-- definitely my mantra :) ~ that being said, have you seen mindy? she's gorgeous... not that pretty my ass anyway, this song keeps me going when I'm all down & gloomy. it's so happy and gutsy.
