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
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
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
