THE FIGHTER



"You don't
Know a man
Until you hit
A man
And it's
In that moment
You realize
Who you are
As a person"
With every
Shot you
Throw
One is returned
Your opponent
Hit's you
With a furry
If shots
Looking for
You to go
Down
But you
Don’t
And if you did
You get back up
But
In this moment
Your still standing
Your opponent
Is thinking
What
The hell
Have I got?
Myself into
I'm hitting
This man
With everything
I got
And
He won't go down
He just
Keep shaking it off
Now
You’re in his head
Cause the pressure
Has built up
And he can't live up to it
He doesn't
Have the knock out
Power
He thought he had
And
The momentum shift
You both
Make eye
Contact with one
Another
But
Neither man
Can show fear
But
The dance
Has started
And the dance
Needs to be finished

"You don't
Know a man
Until you hit
A man
And it's
In that moment
You realize
Who you are
As a person"
