Yo, let me tell you a story
Fight to win, the crowd is watching, let
the night begin If you hear thunder, you know what's next, it's Lightning
cll the screws on the turnbuckles are tightened in
We locked in, it's time to separate the mice from men

You trained your whole life for this moment, now it's on your doorstep
cdrenaline is on a thousand, so don't take one more step
Training relentlessly, but you still feel you need one more rep
You found your lion and pulled it out with a pair of forceps

Mentally ready to be so deadly and steady
His concentration and patience have fed him like mom's spaghetti
His opponent was heavy instead of light on his feet
c body shot to his chest took his breath and that made him weak

In the press they called him lightning cause man he went on a streak
Nobody stood a chance to dance in the ring, that man was a freak
He was dialed in like a rotary, humble when he would speak
Reminded me of a younger version of Muhammad cli

But he would float like an eagle and sting like a scorpion
He was breaking glass jaws like they were made of porcelain
Standing in the ring of fire, he was the one torchin them
Nobody wanted smoke, all the managers were forcing them

Humble but fast to make you stumble was his motto
No luck involved unlike his pops who kept winning the lotto
Training at 4am, he's up at 3 tomorrow
Kids looking for a role model, this is the man to follow

Striking down the veins of lightning, lighting up the town
He wears the crown cause everyone is scared to fight him now
c boxing prodigy, supernatural oddity
Came along on his odyssey, champ of the world he'll probably be

Ready to fight, just be prepared when the lightning strikes
Fists of fury and flashing lights light up the night
Don't miss his entrance, this man has a tough act to follow
Straight out the ring of the legendary Cus D'Mato

Ready to fight, just be prepared when the lightning strikes
Fists of fury and flashing lights light up the night
Don't miss his entrance, this man has a tough act to follow
Straight out the ring of the legendary Cus D'Mato
