Risin' up back on the street Did my time, took my chances…
“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 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 Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry They stack the odds till' we take to the street For we kill with the skill to survive”
