(Shout)
Look in these eyes
These eyes don't lie
And they say that if you don't blink, 
Then you don't die.

Now feel this heart
It beats so tough
And if you ever gonna doubt my faith 
Then I'll call your bluff 
Cause you ain't that tough

The lies in your eyes can't defeat me
I ain't ever goin' down
I was down on my knees completely
And you will never take my crown
But I rise from my feet you can't beat me
Oh, and that's why I gotta stay
And that's why I gotta say

I'm undefeated
And standing tall (tall)
I don't want to be the loser
When the winner takes it all.
I'm undefeated
I got this scar (scar)
I will wash this blood away, 
Live to fight another day
Undefeated! 
(Shout!)
I'm undefeated! 
(Shout!)

I feel your pain
I hear your words.
But there ain't nothing you can say to me 
I ain't already heard

These cuts run deep
Close to the bone
But I gotta keep getting up
Cause I been down so long
So let's get it on

The lies in your eyes can't defeat me
I ain't ever goin' down
I was down on my knees completely
And you will never take my crown
But I rise from my feet you can't beat me
Oh, and that's why I gotta stay
And that's why I gotta say

I'm undefeated
And standing tall (tall)
I don't want to be the loser
When the winner takes it all.
I'm undefeated
I got this scar (scar)
I will wash this blood away, 
Live to die another day

I walk through the fire
With the flames on my skin
I wanna be the last man standing
I'll never surrender, I'll never give in
I just got to win

The lies in your eyes can't defeat me
I ain't ever goin' down
I was down on my knees completely
And you will never take my crown
But I rise from my feet you can't beat me
Oh, and that's why I gotta stay
And that's why I gotta say

I'm undefeated
And standing tall (tall)
I don't want to be the loser
When the winner takes it all.
I'm undefeated
I got this scar (scar)
I will wash this blood away, 
Live to fight another day
I'm undefeated! 

It's stand or fall! (fall)
You can laugh and walk around me with my back against the wall
I'm undefeated
I got the prize (prize)
If you got the will to win
You got to take it on the chin
Stay undefeated! 
(Shout!)
Yea undefeated! 
(Shout!)
