Training Montage 2 / Eye of the Tiger

Lyrics

[Ensemble] Risin' up Back on the street Took his time, took his chances Went the distance, now he's back on his feet Just a man and his will to survive [Mickey, spoken] This ain't about footwork, it's about balance When you can move without breaking your string, you have balance! And then Creed's gonna find out, he's fightin' a very dangerous man [Ensemble] So many times, it happens too fast You trade your passion for glory [Mickey, spoken] Dance, dammit kid, dance! [Ensemble] Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past You must fight just to keep them alive It's the Eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight Rising up to the challenge of our rival And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night [Apollo] I'll be watching him far with thе eye Of the tigеr [Ensemble] Face-to-face Feelin' the heat Hanging tough, staying hungry They stack the odds for a certain defeat Gotta kill, for the skill to survive [Mickey, spoken] And another thing, Rock! No more makin' it with that girlfriend o' yours until after the fight! Remember, kid- women weaken legs! [Ensemble] It's the Eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight Rising up to the challenge of our rival And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night [Apollo] And he's watching us all (watching us all) [Adrian, spoken] That feel better? [Rocky, spoken] Yeah, thanks. I'm just sore I already did fifteen miles this morning [Adrian, spoken] You gotta be tired You wanna go lie down on my bed for a little while? [Rocky, spoken] No, I just wanna catch my breath [Adrian, spoken] You sure? [Rocky, spoken] Hey! There's no foolin' around during training, I gotta stay strong [Adrian, spoken] Alright. I'll go make you some eggs [Rocky, spoken] Yo Adrian, I'm sorry Are you mad at me? [Adrian] You got a scrunched up shoulder and an aching neck You're like some beat-up car that's had a minor wreck I think I gotta be nuts, then I say, what the heck? 'Cause hey... [Adrian, spoken] Hey, I'll make you those eggs Women weaken legs. Boom [Mickey, spoken] Surprise- that's our secret weapon, kid So no public appearances, no talkin' to the press, understand? [Paulie, spoken] Welcome to shamrock meatpacking [Rocky, spoken] Yo Paulie, what them two doin' here? [Paulie, spoken] Oh, I had this great idea, Rock I'm makin' you into a celebrity on the TV [Lina Mikenne, spoken] Lina Mikenne here in a freezing Philadelphia meat locker with heavyweight challenger Rocky Balboa Where he has come up with a highly original way of training for his title bout Believe it or not, he punches sides of raw beef! Can we have a little demonstration for the Philadelphia folks at home? [Rocky, spoken] Well, uh, I shouldn't, but yeah, okay [Jergens, Ensemble] Risin' up, straight to the top Got the guts, got the glory [Jergens, spoken] Don't get cocky now, just seen Balboa on the TV and he ain't no pushover [Jergens, Ensemble] Went the distance, now he ain't gonna stop But the plan, he's the man, won't survive [Jergens, spoken] Next! [Mickey, spoken] You're in great shape, kid! No fighter's ever been in better shape So one last run, and then no more runnin', not even for a goddamn bus Yeah, one last run Go again, go Rocky, run! [Ensemble] It's the Eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight Rising up to the challenge of our rival And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night And he's watching us, watching us all It's the Eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight Rising up to the challenge of our rival And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night And he's watching us all with the eye Gonna fly Gonna fly now Gonna fly
