'Cause I block the sucker punch now, baby
'Cause I block the sucker punch
'Cause I block the sucker punch now, baby
'Cause I block the sucker punch
You can't dock a sucker punch now, baby
You can't dock a sucker punch
You hit me with an uppercut, oh hey
You can't block a sucker punch
I got a bone to pickle with you, now, hey hey
I got a bone to pickle with you
You can't block a sucker punch now, baby
You can't block a sucker punch
You can't block a sucker punch now, baby
You can't block a sucker punch
You can't block a sucker punch now, baby
You can't block a sucker punch
You can't dock a sucker punch, you so
You can't dock a sucker punch
Okay
Sucker punch
You can't block a sucker punch
I can't block a sucker punch
Sucker
Sucker
You can't block a sucker punch now, baby
You can't block a sucker punch
You can't block a sucker punch now, baby
You can't block a sucker punch
You hit me with an uppercut, oh hey
You can't block a sucker punch
I got a bone to pickle with you, now, hey hey
I got a bone to pickle with you
You can't block a sucker punch
I can't block a sucker punch
The lyrics of Fujiya & Miyagi's song Sucker Punch seem to revolve around the idea of being ready for whatever life throws at you. The phrase "sucker punch" refers to a surprise attack, and the chorus repeats the assertion that the singer can block such an attack. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for being prepared for unexpected challenges or changes in life. The verses repeat variations of the statement that "you can't block a sucker punch," implying that the singer has learned this lesson the hard way.
The verses also include the line "I got a bone to pickle with you," which is a somewhat unusual variation on the more common phrase "I have a bone to pick with you." This change in wording could be interpreted as intentional, adding to the sense of unpredictability and unexpectedness that the song explores.
Overall, Sucker Punch seems to be a song about resilience and adaptability. Life is full of surprises and challenges, but if you can learn to "block" the "sucker punches," you'll be better equipped to deal with whatever comes your way.
