Tyson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Goin' at the speed of light
To escape from the fight
Oh, it's really burnin' badly
Like a thief in the night

Oh, it's said ja better move – ya bad!
I am willin' to die
Oh, it's really hurting badly
I am willing to fight!

I will fight!
Fight!
Fight for my right!

Say, you better move
Say, you better move on
All da lovin' is gone
It's burning me badly
The fire is on!

Mm, same old song
Johnny Bad – got it wrong!
Be'chu wish you were gone
Oh, it's really hurting badly
I've been here before

I been good, I been good
Be'chu wish you could
It cut me so deeply
Like you knew it would

Mm, same old song
Johnny Bad – got it wrong!
Be'chu wish you were gone




Oh, it's really hurting badly
The fire is on!

Holyfield stood his ground firmly withstanding brutal punches from Tyson
Who was astonished by Holyfield's stamina

Besides too much exhausting hugs are encountered at close engagements
Distracted Tyson from extracting weak points and best strategies to attack

Then frustrated Tyson lost the match with psychological factor

The fight after that turned to be all about who can handle fatigue, strain and exhaustion longer than the other

Nevertheless Tyson's fate was already sealed at round six when he received the unavoidably huge punch from his toughest opponent
Falling down despite his best efforts to prevail the luxury of a knock out

Tyson is still one of the best champions
He landed devastating punches on Holyfield evading as usual in round 11
But it was not Tyson's lucky day
Evander Holyfield won deservedly his ultimate match

Just one of those punches from either guy would kill the average man.

Darron de Lange

Just think how scary that is bro, they are like lethal weapons walking around. Love the both of them...

Imagine the epic war that eclipsed and broke for most Punch's thrown in a heavyweight fight
Muhammad Ali's Joe Frazier's 14-round compubox most Punch's
David Tua vs Ike ibeabuchi
Now that was a classic

big guy

The amount of RESPECT this fight still draws, even DECADES later...

Truly one of the best fights of ALL TIME.

True but it can't compare to the Hagler vs Hearns fight bro

#YOUdon'thavetoreadthispost.

@Elvin Momon Hagler Vs Leanord was no slouch either. Marvin never backed up.

ritchski1

Could have been a lot better if it took place in 91. These two at there best would have been up there with Ali v Frazier

#YOUdon'thavetoreadthispost.

@ritchski1 I agree. What would Ali - Tyson have looked like in their prime ?
