Sweat is dripping down my palms

Repeating quotes from Ali and the father's psalms

Strap on my boxing gloves

All the exercise and training in past clubs

Must help tonight

As I am the competitor in this main highlight

I will maul and crack the jaws of any opposition in sight

So I can become the champion by the end of the night

Before the onslaught I have a quick light

Can't be too calm but not too uptight

I inhale the fumes of the cigarette

The nicotine causes tightening in my chest

I cough abit but regain my breath

Time for the games and pain to begin

Step out the stage walking down to the watershed that is nearin

While the crowd are screaming loud and cheerin

My moment of glory is waitin

Ever since this morning I've been contemplatin

My counter strategy

To put down savagely

Against the enemy who attempts to battle me

Enter the ring like a king passionatly

Face my competitor as I laugh at thee

14 rounds in and he's beginning to hassle me

My foe has some intelligent plans

He keeps attacking on like Cinderella man

In the heat of the moment

I need to seek the component

To defeat my opponent

The crowd are in favour of him as they sing

But they don't know what I'm about to bring

Then I unleash the knockout swing

I won the match gaining the champion belt

Looked at the defeated and can't imagine how angry he felt

Walking past the adoring fans

I look back in appreciation of the many more in the stands

Leave out the backdoor and into the alley

My nerves retreat and arrogance begins to rally

But at the end of the grafiti stained corridor

A car pulls up

I can see that the interior is full up

The window slides down

The driver comes out of hidin now

And then
