Be tenacious like the Gipsy King Fury
Believe in you right like Wilder
Duck and weave like Joshua
Wisdom is greater than strenght
Also, know when you're spent like the Klitschkos

Life is like a boxing ring
Who ever believed Ruiz would outclass AJ
Life will.always favour the prepared
He took his shot and overcame
Until you win, try again like Joshua

East or west, north or south
A golden fish has no hiding place
Starve your fears and feed your courage
That's the mindset of champs
And don't stop till you win

The Gipsy King was written off
He had succumbed to vices
Fell for the trappings of fame
But he came back strong
Let that thing go, before it downs you

Dear Friend,
The world is your stage
When you land those killer punches
You'll see nothing at the other side of fear
But success laced with joys

Above all, strive to leave legacies
Muhamed Ali is still the greatest
With his name in our history books
This legend will never be forgotten
When will your name become a brand?

Let me tell you about him
They call him "Iron Mike Tyson"
He still holds the bragging rights
The youngest heavyweight to date
He was a Gladiator

Like a Boy Scout, be prepared
Life will throw at you heavy punches
Pay the price for the prize
So you don't die a non-entity
Leave a mark

Never forget all your pitfalls
You'll need them to tell your story
When your glory shines
For you, failure is not an option
Friend, do you copy?

Shadow box with the best
They will show you your flaws
And show you the pathway
That leads to a glorious tomorrow

Don't say I didn't warn you
May this stand as a testament
Between you and I
That I tried to bring out your best
Stay positive!
