Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Out for the first, atmosphere's heavy
World title lays on the line
Strong and proud, he is much older
I'm the faster, I'm in my prime
[Verse 2]
Third round late, he starts to tire
Open cut over his left eye
Smellin' blood, attack is relentless
In the box seats, I see his girl cry, cry
[Verse 3]
No mercy, no quarter
No place to hide for me or the man
Left and rights never came in harder
No mercy, take it while you can now
No mercy, take it while you can
[Verse 4]
Back in my corner they scream, "No mercy"
"Put him away, don't let him recover"
Someone's eyes drill holes in my head
It is his proud, determined mother, cry
[Verse 5]
No mercy, no quarter
No place to hide for me or the man
Right and wrong never came in harder
No mercy, take it while you can now
No mercy, take it while you can (Kick it, pick it up, pick it up)
[Verse 6]
Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, now
[Verse 7]
Oh, bring it down
[Verse 8]
I wish another could do this thing for me
His eyes are flooded, God, he can't even see
I've hunted this title, but now it don't seem right
I fight back tears while I destroy his life
(Watch me destroy)
[Verse 9]
No mercy, no quarter
No place to hide for me and the man
Left and rights never came in harder
No mercy, take it while you can now
[Verse 10]
No mercy, no quarter
No place to hide for me or the man
Right and wrong never came in harder
No mercy, take it while you can now
