Under The Rope Lights

[Verse 1]
Lace tight
Mouthguard bite down, taste night
Tape on my hands like war paint
Shadow on the wall moving brave, faint
Stare at the mirror, I talk calm
"Hit first, hit smart, stay strong"
Sweat on the mat like battle scars
I’ve already been through worse than your hardest rounds
[Chorus]
Under the rope lights, I’m alive
Every little nightmare in my eyes
You swing wild, I slip, I rise
This my house, this my fight
All heart, all grit, no flight
Bell rings, I bite down and drive
I don’t back up
I don’t back up tonight
[Verse 2]
Crowd roar dim, just one sound
My breath, one breath, slow it down
Your glove in my face, I read tells
Little twitch in your shoulder when your fear yells
Feint left, step right, feel time break
See the opening wide like a clean slate
Knuckles kiss air, then bone, then pride
You hit canvas, I’m still inside
[Chorus]
Under the rope lights, I’m alive
Every little nightmare in my eyes
You swing wild, I slip, I rise
This my house, this my fight
All heart, all grit, no flight
Bell rings, I bite down and drive
I don’t back up
I don’t back up tonight

High-energy arena hip-hop anthem with pounding drums, sharp brass stabs, and gritty male vocals. Verses ride a tight, aggressive groove; chorus explodes with gang shouts and stacked harmonies. Sub-bass swells into each hook, crowd FX tucked low in the mix. Final chorus adds octave-doubled lead for a triumphant, title-fight climax.
