[Verse 1] Risin' up, back on the street Did my time, took my chances Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet Just a man and his will to survive
[Verse 2] So many times it happens too fast You trade your passion for glory Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past You must fight just to keep them alive
(refrain) It's the eye of the tiger It's the cream (thrill) of the fight Rising up to the challenge of our rival As the last known survivor Stalks the prey in the night And he's watching us all in the eye Of the tiger
[Verse 3] Face to face, out in the heat Hanging tough, staying hungry They stack the odds 'til we take to the street For the kill with the skill to survive
(refrain)
[Verse 4] Risin' up, straight to the top Had the guts, got the glory Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop Just a man and his will to survive
(refrain)
(ending) The eye of the tiger The eye of the tiger The eye of the tiger The eye of the tiger
