LYRICS
Lyrics by Omega Sparx
I use to be the flashiest star
Chilling with cash and cars
But somewhere lost my passion's heart
Now at the Combo Gym, getting my back my art
With the fury inside you can't match my spark
So, pull up your guard before I shatter your chest
I got the instinct to do it in this battle of death
This is my time to rise you can't rattle my steps
I'm gonna win, and don't matter who Challenge me next
So, I can power through you with no risk
Leaving your soul twisted up in my closed fist
Take notice, I stand as the coldest
Baddest, erratic fighter you could face on a foes list
The knockout king to all my opponents I'm taking every moment to win, baby I own it
Yeah, I start to zone in with flurries and combinations
And end you with haymakers, my skills are way greater
I'm back to (Rise!)
I'm back to (Glow!)
I'm back to (Fly!)
I'm back to (Soar!)
I'm back to (War!)
Let the truth be (Told!)
I feel on fire when my passion (Flow!)
I'm back for the glory yeah!
Hear these guys talk big but I'm more prepared
On my redemption road, I rip my foes
When I trip and flip modes, you can't slip my blows
I'm on the comeback, and took out all the enhancements
Stand with the glow, I'm the
Champ that fans pick
Hard rugged, star-studded, and mighty in leaving you all blooded, and making your face ugly
Jab, Hook, Uppercut
Feel my blow when it impacts up your gut
You wanna try to beat the Champ, you ain't tough enough
I stick and move through your best then I counter punch
Man I feint with precision, aim hitting for your brain
Cause I train with the wisdom, gain vision through the pain
I will bang through the system, stay vicious in the game
And I'm back forever, you can stop my reign!
I'm back to (Rise!)
I'm back to (Glow!)
I'm back to (Fly!)
I'm back to (Soar!)
I'm back to (War!)
Let the truth be (Told!)
I feel on fire when my passion (Flow!)
Put 'em up, show me what you got
I want to see how you rock, if you're great or not
Wanna take my spot, better train to box
I put the game on lock, and my reign won't stop
Rock! Ready! No! Stop! Yeah
It's getting tense up over on my block
I'm locked in the clinch, I'm 'bout to go off
I was lost, but back now as the Champ and Boss
When I breakthrough, I shake fools with great moves
And train to stay loose, my power stays brute
Hit me if you want, my chin is like granite
Keep throwing your best out, but I'm still left standing
I rock steady, my heart's heavy with fire
Call me the trailblazer I'm taking this game higher
I move fast like a speed bag
Throwing right crosses over your weak jabs
It feels good without the implants in me
Here to show the world that my skills more than skin deep
I charge in a wind speed, moving in a frenzy
Show I'm the Champ, leave them something to envy
I stay defiant in the sweet science
Ready to rumble in the jungle on these weak lions
I'm a legend and a Street Giant
Think you can last 3 rounds against me, fool keep trying
I'm back to (Rise!)
I'm back to (Glow!)
I'm back to (Fly!)
I'm back to (Soar!)
I'm back to (War!)
Let the truth be (Told!)
I feel on fire when my passion (Flow!)
*Note: The vocal sample where the two guys are talking about how Kevin Bayliss sounds like RKelly was sampled from an original KI ADAT from 1993. Robin sent me these amazing original KI voice over recordings and toward the end the two actors who voiced TJ Combo and a few other characters start joking around. At once point, they start talking about how Kevin Bayliss sounds like RKelly. I sampled that bit and put it in I'm Back (to Rise) as a nice little easter egg for you all!
