[Verse 1]
I smell the smoke in the air, I feel the wind as it howls
I hear the rain and the thunder, a storm is now coming
There’s lightning that’s up in the clouds
Thousands of people around, look at the crowd
But who’s going to pray for me now?
I spent my life in this cage, in the biggest of stages
And these are the champion rounds, oh, oh
Watcha know about the thrill of the fight?
Got me on my heels tonight and I feel the hype
So, as I hit foes in the liver, precise, deliver the strike
Then fill 'em with a venomous bite
It kinda feels like I should give 'em some ice
The way I pick 'em apart, I got the wickedest right hand
You probably ever seen in your life, man
I might slam you to the white canvas, I can shut off your lights
And my reign has been constant, it’s what you wanted, right?
You could be honest, all of my life was spent dreaming about it
But now that I got it, created a monster, you don’t understand
I am a man made of iron, was forged in the fire and formed, heart of a lion
I roar, I’m running towards the eye of the storm, 'bout ready for war

[Chorus]
I'll see you at the top, I rise, been through a lot and whether or not
I climb, no one can stop my grind 'cause I'm going out my mind
I lay it all on the line when I brawl, so, I guess, it's about that time
I'll see you at the top, I’ll see you at the — war is coming
Are you ready for war? Enemy hordes been summoned
From the fire was formed, I was then born, iron, they forged me from it
I gave my life to this game as I fight everyday
I've created a monster, I’m here to conquer, I'll see you at the top
[Verse 2]
Yeah, it's been a long time coming, I can feel the butterflies in my stomach
But I fear no man, I don't fear nobody, if they bleed like me
Then I'ma leave them bloody, all my life, I've done it
All my life, had to fight on this flight, to the summit
No, I won't plummet when the lights go on and the cameras running
Let's run it, yeah and I'm thinking about the quickest way
To be givin' out a beatin' when I get kickin' em' like some sneakers
My enemies, I defeat 'em, no, I'm never givin' 'em clemency
When they enter in my guillotine, y'all better go get to sleepin'
Like on a bed, a Tempur-Pedic, it's about time I devised a plot, to rise a lot
I grind like I'm behind the clock, all of my life I was denied a shot
But I defied the odds as I climbed and arrived on top
It wasn't always this way though, no, I had to grind
How many years spent waiting in line? I laid it all on the line
Promised the world I would defy the odds, nothing's impossible
Overcome obstacles, I reach for the sky
I swore I'd see you at the top, now, we have arrived

[Chorus]
I'll see you at the top, I rise, been through a lot and whether or not
I climb, no one can stop my grind 'cause I'm going out my mind
I lay it all on the line when I brawl, so, I guess, it's about that time
I'll see you at the top, I’ll see you at the — war is coming
Are you ready for war? Enemy hordes been summoned
From the fire was formed, I was then born, iron, they forged me from it
I gave my life to this game as I fight everyday
I've created a monster, I’m here to conquer, I'll see you at the top
