Road To Glory Lyrics

[Intro]
Another Death Row production
Ladies and gentlemen
For Mike Tyson
(Let's get ready to rumble!)
The next heavyweight champion of the world
Hey yo hails for him

[Verse 1]
My road to glory's filled with thorns
Fluent thoughts from my brain and I train to remain strong
They said I couldn’t do it, locked me in chains 'til I
My struggles closer to the pain of a trained killer
Please believe that I’ll never be shamed again
Again I'll be the next heavyweight champion

Call me crazy but no one can fade me
I’m the product of the projects, lost and crazy
Throw your hands up, Mr. Bruno, ride!
Big Mike Tyson 'bout to brutalize that ass tonight

No hesitation in front of the whole nation
I'll beat that ass so bad I prolly violate probation
Through demonstration as I strategize information
Intend to kill so it’s real like I’m catchin' cases, ha-ha!
Let the world know I plan to die
If I don’t leave with what I came for
Won't be denied
Now
[Hook]
My first round's for the times that I spent in a cell
The second round for the media and the lies they tell
The third round for the pain that I felt inside
Best recognize, I won’t be denied

When we ride
First round's for the times that I spent in this cell
The second round's for the media and the lies they tell
The third round's for the pain that I felt inside
Best recognize I won’t be denied

When we ride

[Verse 1 (strengthened bars)]
My road to glory's filled with thorns
Fluent thoughts from my brain and I train to remain strong
They said I couldn’t do it, locked me in chains 'til I
My struggles closer to the pain of a trained killer
Please believe that I’ll never be shamed again
Again I'll be the next heavyweight champion

Call me crazy but no one can fade me
I’m the product of the projects, lost and crazy
Throw your hands up, Mr. Bruno, ride!
Big Mike Tyson 'bout to brutalize that ass tonight

No hesitation in front of the whole nation
I'll beat that ass so bad I prolly violate probation
Through demonstration as I strategize information
Intend to kill so it’s real like I’m catchin' cases, ha-ha!
Let the world know I plan to die
If I don’t leave with what I came for
Won't be denied
Ride!
[Hook]
The first round's for the times that I spent in a cell
The second round's for the media and the lies they tell
The third round's for the pain that I felt inside
Best recognize, I won’t be denied

When we ride
First round's for the times that I spent in this cell
The second round's for the media and the lies they tell
The third round's for the pain that I felt inside
Best recognize I won’t be denied

When we ride

[Outro]
Iron Mike Tyson
The youngest heavyweight champion ever
(When we ride on our enemies)
And the next champion, believe that!
(When we ride)
You know how we put it on westside hahaha
This is what it sounds like
(When we ride on our enemies)
Frank Bruno! Pfft, you know he ain't got no wings hahaha
Who's next?
Yeah!
(When we ride on our enemies)
This is what it sounds like
(When we ride on our enemies)
Death Row! That old West side baby
(When we ride on our enemies)
