The Hard Way Up

Nothing is known as easy
This is also known as hard work;
But in order for results so pleasing,
You need to break the barriers bound to lurk.

Sweat and blood is shed today
To show the world you're strong;
You'll make them who doubt you pay,
And prove all of them wrong.

The time is to come
When he will test you;
So work until you're numb,
And then you'll be renewed.

When that cage door is shut
It'll just be him in your sights;
Don't focus on the painful cuts,
Just give him a good fight.
