Bull, Dan - Medicine Ball Lyrics






Listen
Imagine Dan sat in the back of an ambulance
Chatting to Adam and telling him that he's had enough of this madness
Fuck if that actually happened I haven't the faintest clue
The concussion had damaged my grey matter and mushed my brain to goo
But when I unravelled the bandage to see my face anew
My eyes' vacant gaze described what I should aim to do
And that's whatever the fuck it takes to make it through
Enough pussying about, now I'm a sabretooth, and nature's brutal
In the old days I used t
O say I didn't need to pay my dues
Ha - how far was I away from truth?
And in the old days I used to wait for opportunities to happen
Now I make my opportunities and grab them

[Hook:]
What doesn't kill will not make you stronger
But at least you're going to live a little longer
So take everything right on the chin
And never ever ever give in

I was nearly a limited edition
Because I could have been swimming with the fishes
But being in critical condition
Would give me the volition
To fulful my mission as a skilled musician, ambition:
Kill competition with my ill compositions
And then build my position up until I'm a religion
Roll up, roll up my shirt sleeves, I see the vision
Turn the key in the ignition
Burn and speed into the distance
Even if it means you're gonna be in a collision
Well at least you've given us a firm reason to listen
Desert the feeble disposition
Learn to feed on criticism
Spurn the media's derision
Earn your keep and keep on living
Hurting people is a piece of piss
But it requires guts to be kind
I don't know why I didn't see this shit
I must have been blind
But even despite that dust in my eye will never settle
I will never bite the dust 'til I die

[Hook:]
What doesn't kill will not make you stronger
But at least you're going to live a little longer
So take everything right on the chin
And never ever ever give in

Look - whether you're holding a bunch of roses
Or holding a gun just know this
You've got to soldier on, roll with the punches, throw fists
Keep holding on, lift that boulder on your shoulders strong
Souls are one thing, but the body's been evolving long
Before you ever knew the pain
It's hurting me
Recuperation is a state of elevation
Gave me endless days to meditate and strengthen every failing I had
Being a patient gave me patience and determination
Dedication to bettering Dan
Man, I've taken beatings, taken knees to the face
My bloodstream stained the streets of this place
Where I reside, seeped through the pavement
Making me a piece of the neighbourhood
Could you keep it more real than me right there if you tried?
From the stitches in my elbow to the tears in my side
My scars are badges of honour, I bear them with pride
They stitched my scalp, fixed my split eyebrow
And another time they took out a bit of my bowel
Being a patient gave me patience and determination
Helped me to see a way out of the maze, found an escape
Came out of the daze
How many ways more will I be knocked to the ground, now?
But they named me Danny Boy
Because you're never going to keep me down

[Hook]

    Great track but struggling to see the relevance to a Medicine Ball....

    J.... C....

    Indeed.

    J.... C....

    +Jack Cowdery you use a medecine ball for rehabilitation and strength-training . The song is about getting back on your feet, healing your wounds and letting it make you stronger.

  22. L.... W....

    fuck, this is so incredibly good o_0

  23. M.... Q....

    The lyrics and the beat are amazing, most songs nowadays just have a good beat but have horrible lyrics just about sex and money but this song is actually about some problems and is inspirational, good job Dan!

  24. B.... G....

    Man i hope one day your music gets reconized worldwide cuz this is absaloutley amazing !! :)

  25. B.... K....

    Too bad Dan doesn't have any charisma, because his lyrics are quite good

    now its about 100.000 that's awesome!

  33. T.... W....

    fucking love this album

  34. M.... ....

    Fantastic song. I like Dan's more emotional songs compared to his more energetic ones. There's just one little thing that I'd tweak. The part where it goes:...
    "Before you ever knew the pain
    (the pain, the pain, the pain, the pain, the pain, the pain)
    It's hurting me."
    It'd have sounded better if it went higher on that last line.

  35. S.... ....

    The lyric timing/speed kinda annoys me, no clue why. Other than that, amazing song.

    S.... ....

    Same! I have no clue why too but I get what you mean! Haha!

  36. J.... P....

    Love the hook :D

  37. M.... ....

    Only one word to say about this song:
    "WOW"

  38. D.... K....

  39. S.... ....

  47. S.... ....

    Gotta say Dan, this is absolutely amazing. Definitely one of your best songs. Great work man.

  48. C.... ....

    I apologise, I mean "at school"... Because it does not take any effort to correct yourself.

  49. C.... ....

    Kyle Jalbert, I believe you mean "Go back to school... And pass English." Also how do you know he is my still at school?
    If you are going to be an idiot about grammar... Then use grammar properly...

  50. E.... M....

    This is awesome, I think you should make more songs about yourself.

  51. A.... G....

    AMAZING!

  52. I.... l....

    Good work fella.D/loaded the album,nice.

    J.... ....

    @The Podcast Gaming Douglism sounds about right.

    J.... ....

    dan this is ur fav song? its mine to i didnt really want to say it but besides ur skyrim and assasin creed raps this is amazing!

    B.... R....

    @datMinii Really? You really don't know how you were being sarcastic? The gist of what you said was "Oh yeah, you like being corrected? WELL CORRECTION HAHAHAHAHA LOLOLOL" That is passive agressive and sarcastic.

    B.... R....

    @AkwardCheeseIsAkward I never said "WELL CORRECTION HAHAHAHAHA LOLOLOL", and I really don't understand what you're trying to point out.. I don't understand the passive aggressive stuff because I'm not trying to get my way for anything. I was just trying to state that this is the internet, and everyone here is different in their own ways. I have no clue why you're making such a big deal out of it.

    B.... R....

    Now you're just playing dumb, you knew your intentions and I am tired of this conversation. I will not reply to another comment of yours and I urge you not to reply to mine.

    B.... R....

    @AkwardCheeseIsAkward My intention was to simply say some people don't like to be corrected. That's that. Then you came out of nowhere, and began to spit out pointless and utter nonsense. I'm certainly proud you're not going to reply to any of my comments any more. This conversation was already settled until you showed up to add nothing to the conversation, but just cause more havoc. Now please stick true to your word, and do not reply. I'm tired of your rubbish.

    B.... R....

    @***** It's alright, you didn't do anything wrong. Just a small fight. :3

  77. D.... H....

    My favorite song from his album next to staircase

  78. M.... F....

    this is your best rap so far dan

  79. D.... L....

    rubbish.

  80. Q.... K....

    What a great addition to you good song and hope you get better soon dan glade to see your pushing though it

  81. x.... ....

    Amazing dude, own songs are ever what more passion have in :)

  82. P.... ....

    Man, this song is fantastic. Definitely one of your best.

  83. T.... P....

    wow just 9 dislikes

  84. 8.... d....

    Dan I hope your eyes and ears get better.
    Team Tombstone, this is an order!

  85. M.... S....

    What's the song about? IT IS GREAT THOUGH! :D

  86. R.... ....

    I absolutely adore your music in all the ways you takes with it I've listened to all of your music 1,000 times over. I haven't bought any of your albums because I in a bit of a money pinch but your music helps me feel happy at the end of the day. As I said before I absolutely adore your music but also I adore you and I wish you safety and health.
    best wishes,
    Zach

  87. S.... ....

    So old but so good love it 😃

  88. R.... ....

    This started to sound a bit like Blue October. Anyways though the songs fantastic. All the besr

  89. M.... I....

    Its not available in u.s.???

  90. M.... H....

    Hey dan could you pm me the date that the album is gonna be available on US itunes if you know

  91. A.... D....

    The lyrics remind me of the time I made my idiot friend mad and he went to go jump someone but got set up and they broke his arm and i rode to the hospital with him and this has my name lol

  92. C.... ....

    The title -> Eminem. But good song anyways. You uploaded that song a long time a go if i remember right.

  93. F.... A....

    so does anyone care to explain what tis song was based in?

  94. N.... ....

    I was worried that the written lyrics were going too fast throughout the whole song to the point where I became sort of uncomfortable looking at them. I probably have some letters of my own. Great track, Dan!

  95. j.... ....

    Great song

  96. P.... ....

    ...is that the same tiger roar as Ratatat used for one of their songs?
