The Old Ways

[Intro]
Your spirit is what keeps the dojo alive

[Verse 1]
A warrior spars and to begive him when he hasn't eatin'
The imaginary foes you fight are easily defeated
You been beaten, right before the battle even started
I read your weaknesses and see the places you'll be bombarded
Strike the target, the look in your eyes is so long and fearless
Simply 'cause the enemy is unable to see my spirit
One thing you shouldn't do is judge a foe by his appearance
Looks can be deceiving which means that you still lack the experience
You went Taekwondo with these preconceived notions
'Cause your mind is too occupied on all your thoughts and your emotions
So, what's in their hearts all revealed on their faces
Well, I'm responding freely to the changes in situation
You need more training with your time and your rhythm
Maybe you've become too obsessed with your desire for winning
When you start to be something, makes the environment different
Always keep death in mind 'cause you wouldn't survive if you didn't
From here beyond the battlefield nothing exists
And I'll gladly give up my life because it comes with the risks
Victory and defeat is either a hit or a miss
And there's no honor for these cowards that are calling it quits
You're overthinking, understand it's all in your head
If you catch a glimpse of my silhouette then you're already dead
See the fact is, it doesn't matter who's strongest or fastest
It's who's smartest and you can only fight the way that you practice
And you're no match for this 'cause the truth is that you're too afraid to lose
And you're being forced to make too many unnecessary moves
Control the enemy including the one that dwells inside you
Since anger can be a demon that tends to be suicidal
See, the state of nothingness is to embody your true essence
Through meditation, so hard and your heart it get soft sentiments
Or else you won't free yourself from the boundaries of skill
It's so beautiful, just listen to the sound of it when it kills
