Boxer

Yes mom I'll be fine Don't worry dad I got the combo down I grab my gloves and head to the ring Dont forget to cheer loud ok? My match is next It's do or die I wisk away a bead of sweat And gear up Time slows Weighing in at 120 pounds I don't listen to the words following Everything is silent Heart beat steady The opponent staring me down I only see a target With the ring of a bell I am off Take the offensive my dad said You call the shots Jab, cross, hook Slip, uppercut, evade, right kick Square out Steady the pace, youre only 45 seconds in Clinch, knee one two Release I'll never forget that look of defeat given to me by the opponent The rush of adrenaline soars through my veins This is the win, take them out Step to the left, head kick Sound comes back to me hearing the thud in the ring They're out I win I won The match is called I would give anything Anything at all To relive the moment my hand was raised in the air by the ref To look in the crowd and see the faces of my parents To know what it feels like to be a champion To succeed in something you earned It's the best feeling out there Victory
