Step back
As I step up.
For once I'll fight
so watch your back.

How foolish you are
to have done what you did!
This time
I won't sit down and take it.

Step back
As I step up.
I'm fighting my battles
One punch at a time.

My words whip you,
a flesh-wound of the ego.
You deserve a good tongue-lashing
Now you can watch me go.

Slack-jawed, blank stare
They applaud, you're well aware

of whose side they've taken.
Now it's you who's shaken.

Step back, punk.
