I'm back to (Glow!) I'm back to (Fly!) I'm back to (Soar!) I'm back to (War!) Let the truth be (Told!) I feel on fire when my passion (Flow!) I'm back for the glory yeah! Hear these guys talk big but I'm more prepared On my redemption road, I rip my foes When I trip and flip modes, you can't slip my blows I'm on the comeback, and took out all the enhancements Stand with the glow, I'm the Champ that fans pick Hard rugged, star-studded, and mighty in leaving you all blooded, and making your face ugly Jab, Hook, Uppercut Feel my blow when it impacts up your gut You wanna try to beat the Champ, you ain't tough enough I stick and move through your best then I counter punch Man I feint with precision, aim hitting for your brain Cause I train with the wisdom, gain vision through the pain I will bang through the system, stay vicious in the game And I'm back forever, you can stop my reign! I'm back to (Rise!) I'm back to (Glow!) I'm back to (Fly!) I'm back to (Soar!) I'm back to (War!) Let the truth be (Told!) I feel on fire when my passion (Flow!) Put 'em up, show me what you got I want to see how you rock, if you're great or not Wanna take my spot, better train to box I put the game on lock, and my reign won't stop Rock! Ready! No! Stop! Yeah It's getting tense up over on my block I'm locked in the clinch, I'm 'bout to go off I was lost, but back now as the Champ and Boss When I breakthrough, I shake fools with great moves And train to stay loose, my power stays brute Hit me if you want, my chin is like granite Keep throwing your best out, but I'm still left standing I rock steady, my heart's heavy with fire Call me the trailblazer I'm taking this game higher I move fast like a speed bag Throwing right crosses over your weak jabs It feels good without the implants in me Here to show the world that my skills more than skin deep I charge in a wind speed, moving in a frenzy Show I'm the Champ, leave them something to envy I stay defiant in the sweet science Ready to rumble in the jungle on these weak lions I'm a legend and a Street Giant Think you can last 3 rounds against me, fool keep trying I'm back to (Rise!) I'm back to (Glow!) I'm back to (Fly!) I'm back to (Soar!) I'm back to (War!) Let the truth be (Told!) I feel on fire when my passion (Flow!) *Note: The vocal sample where the two guys are talking about how Kevin Bayliss sounds like RKelly was sampled from an original KI ADAT from 1993. Robin sent me these amazing original KI voice over recordings and toward the end the two actors who voiced TJ Combo and a few other characters start joking around. At once point, they start talking about how Kevin Bayliss sounds like RKelly. I sampled that bit and put it in I'm Back (to Rise) as a nice little easter egg for you all! ________________________________________ Follow Omega Sparx on Twitter: https://twitter.com/omegasparx And be sure to check out his latest album - GameBreakers: Volume 1 https://gamebreakers.bandcamp.com/album/gamebreakers-volume-1 ________________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Mick_Gordon Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MickGordonMusic Purchase Killer Instinct for Xbox One here: http://amzn.to/1so7wWj Subscribe for more: http://bit.ly/1v0JG1G
