Ready for War Songtext
von T. Powell

Never give in
Never give in
Never, never, never
In nothing great or small
Large or petty
Never give in
Except to convictions of honor and good sense
Never yield to force
Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy
Never, never, never

Got a Superman spirit with an Ali fight
Got my eyes on the prize, I ain′t worried 'bout the height
See I came here for war, so let′s get this thing poppin'
I'ma finish what I started ′cause quittin′s not an option
Got a Superman spirit, an Ali fight
Got my eyes on the prize, I ain't worried ′bout the height
See I came here for war, so let's get this thing poppin′
I'ma finish what I started ′cause quittin's not an option


I've been criticized and doubted
They talk like I ain′t ′bout it
I'm a volcano ready to erupt
So I came here to get rowdy
Competition′s talking reckless
But that's what I expected
I′m the Dwight Howard of this game
So all that nonsense gets rejected
I unleash rage up in this cage
I'm the king of this here ring

I flow just like a butterfly
And like a bee is how I sting
I′m the King Kong of this jungle
So let's get ready to rumble

I have taken many blows
And not one time I've ever stumbled
So be calm in the storm

And never let ′em stress ya
Gotta have ice in your veins
While staying cool under pressure
A fire in your eyes
A hunger in your heart

A resolve to never quit


And a vow to finish what you start
There′s no gain without no pain
No testimony without a test
So when it's said and done
You′ll have a story to confess
So let's get ready for war
As we make our critics feel it
With an Ali fight and a Superman spirit

Got a Superman spirit with an Ali fight
Got my eyes on the prize, I ain′t worried 'bout the height
See I came here for war, so let′s get this thing poppin'
I'ma finish what I started ′cause quittin′s not an option
Got a Superman spirit, an Ali fight
Got my eyes on the prize, I ain't worried ′bout the height
See I came here for war, so let's get this thing poppin′
I'ma finish what I started ′cause quittin's not an option

As I sway from side to side
My heart beating in my chest
Here's the moment of truth
To put these naysayers to rest

They said I couldn′t do it
I′ve been called an underachiever

Well here's my opportunity
To turn them all into believers
So don′t count me out just yet
I'm just getting started
And if you bet against me
I guarantee you will be sorry

I came to bring the pain
I came to start a riot
The negativity that they selling
Keep your money, don′t buy it
I'm that eagle on the lizard
Stay crafted like a wizard
So focused on my target
Like a sniper in a blizzard

I came here ready for war
I came here ready for battle
I tossed and turned all through the night
I call that Sleepless in Seattle
Rise and shine to the victory

I′m here to write my history
Persevere through all the storms
And I never let it get to me
With an Ali fight and a Superman spirit

The opposition don't stand a chance
And I'm ready to make ′em feel it

Got a Superman spirit with an Ali fight
Got my eyes on the prize, I ain′t worried 'bout the height
See I came here for war, so let′s get this thing poppin'
I′ma finish what I started 'cause quittin′s not an option
Got a Superman spirit, an Ali fight
Got my eyes on the prize, I ain't worried 'bout the height
See I came here for war, so let′s get this thing poppin′
I'ma finish what I started ′cause quittin's not an option
