Lyrics
Up against the ropes, I've been there before
Referring to facing challenges or difficult situations in the past.
I've been hit by the best but never hit the floor
Experienced the attacks of formidable opponents but never been defeated.
Toe to toe, you know, you should have thought twice
Warning that the opponent should have reconsidered the confrontation.
'Cause I've got what it takes
Expressing confidence in possessing the necessary qualities for success.
If you wanna stand up and fight
Inviting the opponent to engage in a direct and confrontational battle.
I'm gonna knock you out
Declaring the intention to defeat the opponent decisively.
Already picked the round
Already determined the specific round in which the victory will occur.
Oh, when you step in my ring
Asserting dominance in the shared space, implying control and ownership.
You know you're standing on my ground
Emphasizing the opponent's position on the speaker's territory.
I'm gonna knock you out
Reiterating the determination to achieve a knockout without holding back.
Ain't gonna hold back
Affirming the commitment to full force and aggression.
Upper cut, left, right, yeah
Listing specific types of punches (uppercut, left, right) to convey the intensity.
I'm gonna knock you out tonight
Confirming the intention to achieve a knockout on the current occasion.
Got power, feel what I've done
Highlighting personal strength and achievements.
I've seen a lot like you on the way to number one
Observing others who share similar ambitions on the path to success.
Don't expect me to turn the other cheek
Rejecting the expectation of passive acceptance or tolerance.
Get in my way and you will hear me speak
Warning against obstructing the speaker, with a promise to vocalize objections.
I'm gonna knock you out
Reiterating the determination to achieve a knockout without holding back.
Already picked the round
Already determined the specific round in which the victory will occur.
Oh, when you step in my ring
Asserting dominance in the shared space, implying control and ownership.
You know you're standing on my ground
Emphasizing the opponent's position on the speaker's territory.
I'm gonna knock you out
Declaring the intention to defeat the opponent decisively.
Ain't gonna hold back
Affirming the commitment to full force and aggression.
Upper cut, left and right, yeah
Listing specific types of punches (uppercut, left, right) to convey the intensity.
I'm gonna knock you out tonight
Confirming the intention to achieve a knockout on the current occasion.
I'm gonna knock you
Repeating the determination to knock out the opponent.
Said, I'm gonna knock you
-You know gonna knock you out
Emphasizing the certainty of achieving a knockout.
