THE ALCHEMIST
"Adrian's Words (Champion Song)"

[Dialogue from Rocky III]
...and because of that, Mickey ain't here no more...

You didn't push him into anything
He was a grown man and he did what he had to do
You have no right to feel guilty for what happened, you don't
You're a champion and you did what you're expected to do
And you did what I and everybody else thought you should do

And you wanna tell me that those fights weren't real, that you were carried?
Well, I don't believe it

It doesn't matter what I believe because you're the one that's got to carry that fear around inside you

Afraid that everybody's gonna take things away

None of it's true...it doesn't matter if I do
It doesn't matter because you're the one that's gotta settle it
Get rid of it!

(My music will be presented commercial-free)

Because when all the smoke is cleared, and everyone's through chanting your name
It's just gonna be us
It's just gonna be us
It's just gonna be us
