Balboa - Cruiserweight

Been lying on the mat too long

Always thought I wasn’t fit to be strong

And I thought a change would never come

But I could be wrong, wrong, wrong

Slim chance for an underdog

Glued down on my knees

I was a mess back then

I never knew when was when

New coach, you know you brought a fire

and smoked me out of my cave

It’s a new day for the fighter

you’re making it

my knees sh-sh-sh-shakin' from your

revolutionary way

of making me strong

and kickin' my ass in gear everyday

I think I like it this way

'Cause

I’m Balboa, I’m not afraid

You know, you made me this way

I am finally ceasing the day

You know, you made me this way

And everything comin' in

everything going out this time

will not be broken

I’m Balboa, I’m takin' names

You know you made me this way

Blowin' my own horn isn’t what I should do, so

If I’m dancin' in the middle of the street, well

Please know, I know where credit’s due

Cut man in the corner of the ring.

Every hook I swing is for you, darlin'

I am climbing stairs every morning, Oh

New worlds a' comin'

I gotta tell ya

I’m Balboa, I’m not afraid

You know, you made me this way

I am finally ceasing the day

You know, you made me this way

And everything comin' in

everything going out this time

Will not be broken

I’m Balboa, I’m takin' names

You know you made me this way

I make it loud

so you could sing along this time

with a big long breath I hope you’ll sing along this time

And everything will be right

There won’t be a finally this time, no

it never ends it just goes

I’m Balboa, I’m not afraid

You know, you made me this way

I’m Balboa, I’m takin' names

You know you made me this way

I’m Balboa, I’m not afraid

You know, you made me this way

I’m Balboa, I’m takin' names

You know you made me this way

I’m Balboa, I’m takin' names

You know you made me this way

I’m Balboa, I’m not afraid
