[Verse 1]
Love to fight, love the pain
Been down bad, still I came
Got my ass beat, stood up again
Took that hit, learned how to win
Seen more scars than you ever seen
More broke bones, more broken dreams
Black eye nights and a split lip grin
I don't fold, I don't quit
They talk big, then they back away
I take one shot, then I make them pay
Every bruise got a name on it
Every loss turned into a better fit
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me now, you really want smoke?
Better think twice, better choke that boast
I don't flinch when the cage gets cold
When I lock in, I lose control
[Chorus]
Black of the KO
Black of the KO
Step in close, then you know
Black of the KO
Beast mode, beast mode
Hear that crowd say, "go"
Step in close, then you know
Black of the KO
[Verse 2]
I don't brag, I just show and prove
Every wound made a better move
Blood on the tape, sweat on the floor
I come back mean, I come back more
Knuckles cracked, but the grip stayed tight
Eyes on mine in the middle of the fight
You can swing wild, you can swing hard
I stay planted, I play my part
Been counted out, been left for dead
Now they lean in when I nod my head
I wear the hurt like a second skin
If I go down, I get up again
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me now, you really want smoke?
Better think twice, better choke that boast
I don't flinch when the cage gets cold
When I lock in, I lose control
[Chorus]
Black of the KO
Black of the KO
Step in close, then you know
Black of the KO
Beast mode, beast mode
Hear that crowd say, "go"
Step in close, then you know
Black of the KO
[Bridge]
Yeah, I learned from the floor
I learned from the pain
Every hit made me more
Every loss made me trained
So if you want that flame
Then come take your shot
I was made for the clash
I was made for the dark
[Chorus]
Black of the KO
Black of the KO
Step in close, then you know
Black of the KO
Beast mode, beast mode
Hear that crowd say, "go"
Step in close, then you know
Black of the KO
