Eye Of The Tiger
Amel Bent Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive

So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' angry
They stack the odds 'til we take to the street
For we kill with the skill to survive


It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger

Risin' up, straight to the top
Have the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger

The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
(repeats)

Rising up back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance 
Now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive

So many times
It happens too fast 
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival 
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all
With the eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat 
Hanging tough, staying hungry 
They stack the odds 
Until we take to the street 
For we kill with the skill to survive

It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival 
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all
with the eye of the tiger

Rising up straight to the top 
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance 
Now I'm not going to stop
Just a man and his will to survive

It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival 
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all
with the eye of the tiger

The eye of the tiger

WTH happened with the OG version that was shared on iTunes/Spotify?

Like the one shared here?
Did she re-record with a different mix due to copyright issues OR is there a Mandela effect again?

lol
The one currently on steaming platforms isn’t as good BUT this one is IT!

The best! Ugh!
Amen...and her team! Can y’all fix this?
🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

I find it an excellent cover, why you guys compare this to the original, this woman did not try to beat the original, she just made a cover, and a very good one I must say...being judges is always pleasant but cut it out, nobody likes it...

@celssok.

It's true!!!!
