The Champ

she's a fighter, she's been fighting all her life; she's fought off those boys that just want to 
get in her pants. she's fought off the people who said she didn't have a chance. she was 
going to be somebody and that was a fact. see she's destined to be the worlds champ. she 
had plans to go head to head with layla ali. but then reality hit her way under the belt. she 
never gave up she kept fightin' and fightin'. but she went soft on 'em kid, and he kept coming 
strong. first and second round you know who it was all about. but it must have caught up 
cause third round it knocked her out. he hit her with something she couldn't beat. he beat the 
worlds champ, he figures he got it made.  because the champ was just given aids. she can 
fight all she want, she can swing left and she can swing right. but the truth of the matter is 
the champ got beat tonight.
