I Took A Beating lyrics

I took a beating in 2003 At least I improved My threshold for pain See my eyes swelled up and poured out blood He spent six months just cleaning it up The doctor said he'd stitch up the cut for me My next beating's in two weeks I've been taking a beating, in 2004 yeah only two months have passed by I'm already on the floor I took a baseball bat straight to the knees I buckled over in the cold Brooklyn street The same doctor helped me back to my feet He said to me "I'll see you in two weeks" And if I take a beating (beating) in 2005 (beating) It'll be a miracle (beating) If I'm still alive (beating)
