Noise from the crowd
I hear the bell ring
I feel like an ant
In front of a king

Dancing for time
It’s not really fair
But I’ve made the climb
I’m finally there

I’m not going back
I’m not going home
I came here to claim
My rightful throne

Born in a ghetto
I gave this my all
Years in the making
I’m not gonna fall

I see a red blur
He’s started to play
With one single blow
I’m lost on my way

Backwards I go
Can’t see and can’t feel
“Boo” goes the crowd
I can’t think…, is this real?

I’m not giving up
Won’t lose what I’ve got
I’ve made my decision
To die or to not

Back up I go
Determined to win
Another blow to my head
Downward I spin

Swinging and jabbing
I battled for more
Lifeless I lie
A mess on the floor

The sweat and the tears
Rundown my cheek
It’s victory I thirst
Victory I seek

Rise up again
Lessons I’ve learned
Smarter and smarter
I want what I’ve earned

I live in a world
That hardly exists
Punching & fighting
With blood on my fists

It’s worthless to try
But priceless to win
I keep getting up
More power within

I silenced the crowd
They can’t believe
I’m not gonna loose
I’m not gonna leave

A smirk on his face
As he thinks I can’t
The king never met
This little ant

I’m far past the point
I feel no more pain
Nothing to lose
So, here comes the rain

Forward I plunge
Blazing like fire
Upward I climb
I’ve got to go higher

His face full of wonder
“Why isn’t he dead?”
It’s he who chose wrong
The king’s been misled

This little ant
Fights from the heart
I’ll fight to the end
I’ll tear you apart

It’s not just a game
It’s passion to me
It’s not just a game
I win and I’m free

Nothing can stop me
I’m in this to show
I’m in this to prove
All that I know

I take every hit
As a lesson untold
Soon comes the time
The enemy folds

In this game
So same to life
He who wins
Is he who survives

I keep walking tall
I never give up
Whenever I fall down
I get back up

It’s never easy
It’s never enough
I survive to the end
Through the thick and the rough

Persistence is mine
That’s what I bring
Here ends the story
The ant and the king

I place my last shot
A blow to his chin
Down goes the king
I came here to win

Shocked is the crowd
Their king is down
But out comes a whisper
Give him his crown!
