[Intro: Stadium Crowd Noise Builds, Guitar Swell]: [Spoken in full gravitas]: When my brothers come a-calling And they need a helping hand Who am I to stand against them? We're all American “Whatcha gonna do… when the truth… runs wild on you?” [guitar slides in, thunder crashes, drums hit] [Verse 1: Gritty Vocals over Rising Riff]: When I stepped into the ring, with 24-inch dreams Body slammed doubt, tore right through the seams With the power of belief, and the will to stand tall You don’t back down, brother, you break through the wall Taught 'em all how to train, say their prayers, eat their greens From WrestleMania to Thunder in Paradise scenes It wasn’t just showbiz, it was blood, sweat, and soul And I wore my red and yellow like a hero wears gold [Pre-Chorus: Harmonized Chants + Stadium Claps]: Say your prayers! (Say your prayers!) Take your vitamins! (Take your vitamins!) And never… EVER… back down! [Chorus: Soaring Hook with Full Band Kick-In]: I’m a Real American, through the highs and the pain Fought for every kid who’s ever been afraid I gave it all, every slam, every show Remember me in red and yellow, wherever you go ‘Cause heroes never die, they just flex and fade And the heart of Hulkamania is never betrayed! [Verse 2: Midtempo Groove with Spoken Reflections + Singing]: [Spoken over music]: I wrestled giants. I wrestled demons. I wrestled myself. But I always remembered… what I stood for. For the faces in the crowd The heat of the moment For the people and the power and the power of the people All the glory of the battle When you don't stop believing When you're stronger than evil And you never back down [Sung]: In the movies, in the ring, in the hearts of the fans I was more than a man, I was the roar in the stands They called me a champ, a cartoon, a myth But I lived every damn moment like it was my last gift From Andre to Savage, from Flair to the Snake Every punch I took was for the Hulkamaniacs' sake It ain’t about glory, it’s about giving your best And if you do, brother, you’ll outshine the rest [Bridge: Solo Guitar Over Flag-Waving Visuals]: [Searing arena rock solo] “Believe in yourself, even when the crowd’s gone home... Through the blood and the sweat and the gasoline Through the fire and the wires and the memories Fighting giants in the darkness of the midnight Where the lightning strikes the corners of the moonlight All the colors that I see In the heart of the night" [Chorus: Repeat with Choir and Echo FX]: I’m a Real American, with grit in my soul Fought for every child to have control When the bell rings, and the lights go low Remember the leg drop, and let your colors show! Red for the fight… Yellow for the light… And forever… for what's right. [Outro: Fading Chant, Crowd Singing Along]: "The powers that be are falling I don't want to see their hand In the things that make me different We're all American Hulkamaniacs never say die… We just run wild… one last time…" [feedback fade-out]
