Black Cat
Legacy of the Black Cat: A Tale of Resilience and Redemption
Lyrics
Did you ever hear the story of a stowaway child
Introduction to a tale about a stowaway child
Went to New York to start again
The child went to New York for a fresh start
Running from a man stood 7 foot 2
Fleeing from a towering 7-foot-2 man with a perpetual shadow
With a shadow that never ends
Describing the ominous nature of the pursuer's shadow
Always know who your people are
Emphasizing the importance of knowing one's roots and people
Don't forget where you're from
Highlighting the significance of remembering one's origin
Lift you up, keep your feet on the ground
Encouraging resilience and humility in the face of success
It's a fight to the death, then it's done
Life is a tough battle, and once it's over, it's final
(Know where you come from)
Reiteration of the importance of knowing one's roots
Turning to the world of the underground ring
Transitioning to the underground boxing world
Of blood, sweat, beast and brawn
Describing the brutal nature of underground fighting
No one could take Augustinial swinging
Augustinial is a formidable fighter, capable of enduring
He could fight til the break of dawn
Highlighting Augustinial's endurance and fighting prowess
On New Year's Eve a man brought a black cat
Introduction of a black cat brought to challenge Augustinial
To the ring to steal his crown
A black cat is brought to challenge Augustinial's dominance
Augustinial fought that beast all night
Augustinial fights the black cat throughout the night
Til he finally put the panther in the ground
Augustinial defeats the panther, asserting his dominance
Always know who your people are
Emphasis on the importance of knowing one's people
Don't forget where you're from
Reminder not to forget one's origin and roots
Lift you up, keep your feet on the ground
Encouragement to stay grounded despite success
It's a fight til the death then it's done
Life is a fight to the death, then it concludes
(Know where you come from)
Reiteration of the importance of knowing one's roots
99 years til he finally called it
99 years pass, and Augustinial's story is nearly forgotten
The legend all but told
Referring to Augustinial as a legendary figure
Down in the garden there's a 7-foot statue
A 7-foot statue of a black cat is erected in the garden
Of a black cat lined in gold
The statue is adorned in gold, symbolizing Augustinial's victory
Always know who your people are
Reiteration of the importance of knowing one's people
Don't forget where you're from
Reminder not to forget one's origin and roots
He was laid to rest underneath that panther
Augustinial is buried beneath the black cat statue
It's a fight to the death then it's done
Life is a fight to the death, then it concludes
(Know where you come from)
Reiteration of the importance of knowing one's roots
