Showdown

Ding…let the battle begin
Dodging these punches in the middle of the ring
Rocking side to side like I’m stoned from a bottle of gin
I’ve lasted enough rounds to take home this win
Float like a butterfly, like a bee I’m going to sting
Words from the greatest, Muhammad Ali the king 
Jab…Hook…Cross…Uppercut, I’m giving everything 
My opponent is now scared from the thunder that I bring
He’s weary and to my body tried to cling
I’m going for the gold at the bird nest in Beijing
Pow! TKO from one last swing
Going against me is no plaything 
Hooray the crowd started chanting!
