Boxing
Yeah, I've been going twenty-four rounds now.
About to go to round twenty-five.
Man, my body is beat to ****.
Had more black eyes than can count.
My body felt different in round thirteen.
Brain rattled in round nineteen.
My opponent, I swear, keeps changing.
He'll throw body blows, jabs, hooks.
He got in a few head butts when the ref
was not looking. Evil SOB.
He thinks he has me on the ropes huh;
He knocked me down quite a lot.
Was almost counted out a few times
and I could see my life flashing before me.
But he should know.
I dont quit.
Throw your worst at me.
Because if this is all you got;
it's only a matter of time
before I knock you out.
This isn't about titles
or about money.
This is about standing up.
Fighting for those who I've lost.
Fighting for those who you
have knocked out.
So go ahead...do your worst.
Hell, we can even fight in the dark.
Because even in darkness,
I will be the light. A light,
who will shine for those
who are afraid of you.
Ring the bell again,
lets go another round.
The gloves are off big guy,
you are going down.
