(Verse 1)   What you know about the running, the stretching   The cars, the weapons   The path, the journey   The jewels, the learning   The fear, the focus   The aches, the pains   The contact sparrin', the breaks, the sprains   The trial and error, the ranks, and belts   The spiritual growth, the science of breath   The tests, the techniques   The forms, the stances   The flow, the rhythm, the internal answers   The herbs, the healing, the quiet meditation   The truths reveal through daily dedication   The love for the art, the sweat on your shirt   The mind, the body, and the spirit that work   The feelings of failure, the hope to succeed   The battles of questions like "Should I smoke weed?"      (Verse 2)   The water, the thirst   The cleansing, the blessings   The flash of insights, the teachings, the lessons   The grappling and locking, trapping and boxing   The training and slacking   The starting and stopping   And stayin' committed, when your homies ain't with it   The hours or practice after the class is finished   The cause of your ignorance, flaws in your discipline   Broken laws of nutrition, and pork and dishin'   The vitamins and supplements   Salads and ointments      The kingships, pull joints in doctor appointments   The dues, the pads, the wraps, the gloves   The mouthpiece you left home, the taste of your own blood   The hunger, the blocks   The punches, the squats   The crunches, the example you set for the youngsters   The will, the skills, the kill or the hill   The separation between what's fake and what's real   The laws of physics, The class "comradery"   The vows of humility, the bow, the courtesy.      *guitar plays*      (Sample)   Self defense doesn't mean you run and attack someone   But you do have the right to defend yourself by any means necessary   If you in that position to defend yourself (Ha!)
