The Pugilist
[Hook]
I hit a bump in the road, but I ain't lose my stride
I might slip and I'll slide, but I won't lose my sight
I have an interesting mind, just have a look inside
I'm saying Life Is A Fight until I'm eighty-five

[Verse 1]
Life's a conflict in the mental and the physical
It's helpful to be spiritual
But when you see it real, you will see it is a miracle
I mean it when I say it, there's a limit to your spirit, dude
Just listen I've been sent for you
My purpose is to send a message to the youth, you see?
I'm Sophocles, I'm Hermes, and I might be Mercury
Merking beats, lightning speed, it's a murder spree
Merciless me, mercy please, instrumentals beg and plead
I'm stinging like a bee, I'm Ali, I'm on the beat
Even when my back's against the ropes
I'm coming back like Evander Ho'
I'm The Real Deal, I'm Tyson to your ears
Enticing when I'm near
[Hook]
I hit a bump in the road, but I ain't lose my stride
I might slip and I'll slide, but I won't lose my sight
I have an interesting mind, just have a look inside
I'm saying Life Is A Fight until I frickin' die
Life is a bitch until I kiss the sky
On a Jimi Hendrix vibe
I have an interesting guise, just follow right behind
Grab your tickets and your friends
You're witnessing the main event, the fight of the night

[Verse 2]
An Irish boy, I'm in this sport, you call me Micky Ward
I'm the Fighter, you could never stop these tricky words
A genius spitting sickly swarms of liquid swords
Snatch a coldie, sit back and relax for what I have in store
The teetotaler, flow like a speed motorist
Swallowed so much blood that I be hemoglobin sick
Dry heaving, feeling queasy cause I'm keeping it within
Don't ever let them get under your skin to expose the suffering
Life is kinda hard when you're locked inside the octagon
The walls are talking off and on until the tock of dawn
I think I need a neurologist, in desperate need of a doc
Constantly getting clocked, my nervous system's gone
The combat took a toll on my soul
Left me like a lump of coal, all corroded and cold
Got some kids star struck when we spoke at the shows
We come from stardust and our goal is to glow
[Hook]
I hit a bump in the road, but I ain't lose my stride
I might slip and I'll slide, but I won't lose my sight
I have an interesting mind, just have a look inside
I'm saying Life Is A Fight a couple hundred times
Walsh was just the thesis, I'm no longer new to this
Coming to you live, now the camera's moving in
We are so excited to hear that you are tuning in
My name is Patrick Walsh and I present to you, The Pugilist

[Outro]
Muhammad Ali: When you’re a kid, you always bet some fellas, “I’m gonna be champion one day, and when I’m champion, I’m gonna come back and show you [you’re] wrong.” Another said, “Guys, I’m gonna be a great doctor one day. And I’m gonna be a dentist. I’m gonna be a great scientist. I’m gonna be the President of the country.” And there are very few people actually are able to make good of the boasts and come home and say, “I told you.”
