Intro: Verse: 1 Friend of Jesus, tall and trim Deep and old timer inside the city jail The unknown fighter steps into the gym Takes his corner and sends for the bell Someday very soon the world will know his name He feels with every punch he's landin' Another uppercut, another man goes down Down to the ground, he's still standin', mmm Interlude: Verse: 2 Small dark faces, smoke and bling The dark side warehouse has seen better nights The unknown fighter steps into the ring It don't matter his name is not in lights Someday very soon the world will know his name He feels with every punch he's landin' Another uppercut, another man goes down Down to the ground, he's still standin', mmm Instrumental (x2) Verse: 3 Turn of fortune, God knows why The true contender will never make the show Now the unknown fighter is lookin' in the eye Of the champion and matchin' every blow Someday very soon the world will know his name The crowd explodes in wild abandon He throws his mighty right, the champion goes down Down to the ground, he's still standin' 8-9-10, he's standin', mmm
