Still Undefeated ⁨‪‪@F.HarryStowe‬ Lyrics: Seventy years have come and gone since Rocky threw his last Seventy years of fighters trying to match what he amassed Forty-nine and zero, every record book agrees The only undefeated heavyweight champion in history They tried to break it - Tyson, Ali in his prime Foreman, Frazier, Holmes, and Holyfield in their time Mayweather changed the weight class just to match the number But in the heavyweight division, Rocky’s still the wonder Still undefeated, still standing tall Still undefeated, never took the fall Forty-nine straight wins, not a single loss Still undefeated, he paid the cost From Brockton to forever, the record stands complete Still undefeated, still can’t be beat Now let’s be honest, let’s be fair, let’s tell the whole true story Rocky wasn’t perfect, wasn’t always wreathed in glory He could be tight with money, friends say he could be cheap Kept his distance from his siblings, relationships weren’t deep But he provided for his family, kept them safe and sound He worked the ice wagon, earned every single pound He showed up every morning, trained harder than the rest And when the bell rang, Rocky gave his very best Still undefeated, still standing tall Still undefeated, never took the fall Forty-nine straight wins, not a single loss Still undefeated, he paid the cost From Brockton to forever, the record stands complete Still undefeated, still can’t be beat What makes a legend? Is it just the record book? Or is it how they lived, the chances that they took? Rocky walked away when he was on top Chose his family over money, chose to stop That takes a different kind of courage, a different kind of pride To leave the crowd while they’re still cheering, step outside He showed us how to fight, but more than that he showed How to know when fighting’s done, when it’s time to hit the road From the ice wagon To the championship! From late starter To the legacy! From Brockton boy To The Rock! From nothing much To history! He proved that where you start don’t dictate where you’ll go He proved that heart and work can beat the talent show He proved that walking away ain’t the same as giving in He proved some records stand forever, some fights you always win So here’s to Rocco Francis Marchegiano Who became the great Rocky Marciano Who became The Rock, The Brockton Blockbuster Who became a legend, who became forever Every young fighter shadow boxing in the gym Every underdog who’s told they’ll never win Every late bloomer who thinks they’ve missed their shot Every person who keeps fighting when the world says they’re not Look to Rocky! Look to forty-nine and oh! Look to Brockton! Look to how far you can go! Still undefeated, still standing tall Still undefeated, never took the fall Forty-nine straight wins, not a single loss Still undefeated, he paid the cost From Brockton to forever, the record stands complete Still undefeated, STILL CAN’T BE BEAT! FORTY-NINE AND ZERO! FORTY-NINE AND ZERO! FORTY-NINE AND ZERO! Rest in peace, Rocky You’re still The Rock You’re still undefeated Still undefeated Still undefeated Forever.
