As I stare at myself in the mirror, and the noises around me fade No fear for my health, never give up though the voices around me say: "It's a long shot, it'll never happen - don't put you money on that" as they're laughin' I know I'm up against the best but we fightin' in the streets - left right, right left This is what I live for right here - you think I'm gon' fold cause the lights glare? Like I don't know what this life is? Well think again cause I won't no hype is Ever what they paint it up to be, and the underdog is evidently The one who got more to win - I'ma make you taste the ground; here's my Hadouken!
(CHORUS) You know what they say: "The Third Strike is what counts" And you can get it too - don't think that l can't knock you out Out, out knock knock you out Out, knock knock knock you out Out, out knock knock knock you out Don't think that l can't knock you out
I've been waiting for this moment, this is what I spilled my blood for Always being up early mornings - every day, even when I wasn't up for it So you see you don't need to believe - either way, you are all enemies As I travel 'round the globe and go against you - that's my fighting code Now you know what my intentions are, and you that I came from afar But have you studied my style? Caue I've studied yours and I know who you are And I know you all weaknesses - in the eye of a needle it's Exactly what i came to do: I ain't leavin' till I beat you, I ain't here to lose.
