LYRICS
Lyrics by Omega Sparx
I use to be the flashiest star
Chilling with cash and cars
But somewhere lost my passion's heart
Now at the Combo Gym, getting my back my art
With the fury inside you can't match my spark
So, pull up your guard before I shatter your chest
I got the instinct to do it in this battle of death
This is my time to rise you can't rattle my steps
I'm gonna win, and don't matter who Challenge me next
So, I can power through you with no risk
Leaving your soul twisted up in my closed fist
Take notice, I stand as the coldest
Baddest, erratic fighter you could face on a foes list
The knockout king to all my opponents I'm taking every moment to win, baby I own it
Yeah, I start to zone in with flurries and combinations
And end you with haymakers, my skills are way greater
I'm back to (Rise!)
I'm back to (Glow!)
I'm back to (Fly!)
I'm back to (Soar!)
I'm back to (War!)
Let the truth be (Told!)
I feel on fire when my passion (Flow!)
I'm back for the glory yeah!
Hear these guys talk big but I'm more prepared
On my redemption road, I rip my foes
When I trip and flip modes, you can't slip my blows
I'm on the comeback, and took out all the enhancements
Stand with the glow, I'm the
Champ that fans pick
Hard rugged, star-studded, and mighty in leaving you all blooded, and making your face ugly
Jab, Hook, Uppercut
Feel my blow when it impacts up your gut
You wanna try to beat the Champ, you ain't tough enough
I stick and move through your best then I counter punch
Man I feint with precision, aim hitting for your brain
Cause I train with the wisdom, gain vision through the pain
I will bang through the system, stay vicious in the game
And I'm back forever, you can stop my reign!
I'm back to (Rise!)
I'm back to (Glow!)
I'm back to (Fly!)
I'm back to (Soar!)
I'm back to (War!)
Let the truth be (Told!)
I feel on fire when my passion (Flow!)
Put 'em up, show me what you got
I want to see how you rock, if you're great or not
Wanna take my spot, better train to box
I put the game on lock, and my reign won't stop
Rock! Ready! No! Stop! Yeah
It's getting tense up over on my block
I'm locked in the clinch, I'm 'bout to go off
I was lost, but back now as the Champ and Boss
When I breakthrough, I shake fools with great moves
And train to stay loose, my power stays brute
Hit me if you want, my chin is like granite
Keep throwing your best out, but I'm still left standing
I rock steady, my heart's heavy with fire
Call me the trailblazer I'm taking this game higher
I move fast like a speed bag
Throwing right crosses over your weak jabs
It feels good without the implants in me
Here to show the world that my skills more than skin deep
I charge in a wind speed, moving in a frenzy
Show I'm the Champ, leave them something to envy
I stay defiant in the sweet science
Ready to rumble in the jungle on these weak lions
I'm a legend and a Street Giant
Think you can last 3 rounds against me, fool keep trying
I'm back to (Rise!)
I'm back to (Glow!)
I'm back to (Fly!)
I'm back to (Soar!)
I'm back to (War!)
Let the truth be (Told!)
I feel on fire when my passion (Flow!)
*Note: The vocal sample where the two guys are talking about how Kevin Bayliss sounds like RKelly was sampled from an original KI ADAT from 1993. Robin sent me these amazing original KI voice over recordings and toward the end the two actors who voiced TJ Combo and a few other characters start joking around. At once point, they start talking about how Kevin Bayliss sounds like RKelly. I sampled that bit and put it in I'm Back (to Rise) as a nice little easter egg for you all!

I remember back in 2019, when I lost the ability to walk after a hit and run. I played this song before and after every physical therapy just keep my energy going. Thanks for Mick Gordon and Omega Sparx for making an amazingly energetic and hype song
As somebody who had surgery and couldn't walk for 2-3 months I have to agree 100%. It's taking everything I can to get back to normal and this song inspires me to fight through the pain!
King shit. Hope you're doing well these days.
Hope your doing better.
Inspirational Moment: over the charts
Bro that's awesome! I hope you're doing alright these days man. Keep up being awesome!

We did it guys! We just passed 6 Million Views Today. Love & Respect to Mick Gordon, Xbox, Iron Galaxy & others for this amazing game! Thank you guys for the support. Here's to 7 Million and Beyond!
Omega sparx! Fucking love your music!
YOUR AWESOME
very cool
Just found this banger!!
You love to see it
"Mick,we need a song to make everyone feel like fucking badass,terminator level"
Mick: Hold my beer
Mick: You wanna see me make a badass theme?
Also Mick: You wanna see me do it again?
Just remember guys
This was made in a week, after Mick scrapped what was originally planned.
*This mad bastard made the most hype rap song ever fucking made in 7 days*
Welp. That's Mick Gordon. WHAT DID YOU EXPECT ?!
Just as everything should be
While that is extremely impressive that’s not the craziest thing in the world. I can think of tons of amazing songs that were basically just improvised (Jordan by Buckethead was literally one take along with him releasing 2 usually quite good albums a week for the entirety of 2015 and the majority of the Halo 2 theme song was made in a single probably less than an hour recording session).
Man, sometimes when you make something you just...get it right, quickly. Sometimes you scrap something, and your brain figures out how to make the thing you DON'T scrap, too.
he relied on enhancements...gave into the need to be a star....lost his way
but then he tore out the enhancements....worked on his own skill.....came back...and now is a fan favorite showing that all the powers and abilities can't match pure skill and passion
the champion....the boss....the ring warrior....TJ COMBO
TJ Combo, fitting name for a Legend.
Added lyrics.
Did you based this song on Straight outta Compton? I hear many Simularities.
+Mika Rimex even though this song came out before "straight out of Compton"
+DukeNukem2020 If you mean the movie you're right, but Straight Outta Compton was a song first quite awhile go. I don't hear much similarities though
No I mean the song straight outta Compton. Like it has simulairties. Also like the song came out WAAAAAY before this back when hip hop was a crime
+Mika Rimex No, S Club 7.
"I AIN'T DONE!" *Punches ground and enter Berserker state*
"Wait, what?"
"TJ'S BACK UP WITH HIS LAST BREATH!"
"Ho-ly jumpin' giblets! T.J. Combo…Takes The Title In Absolutely BRUTAL Fashion! (CRACK) 'Scuse me…I gotta hurl…!"
I AIN'T DONE YET!
Ha death battle
"I AIN'T DONE"
Literally before every great comeback in any fighting game, everyone must say those three legendary words:
*I AIN’T DONE*
"I didn't hear no bell!"
"you call that a punch?!"
“Badass” is an understatement
“Wait- what…?”
@@Pastamist Was that a Death Battle reference? MY NIGGA, LETS GOOOO
This song is PURE HYPE in Song form
JaxBlade I pick the stage it's on just to hear this hype in sound form
God Damn, I see you on all the videos I watch.
I had to find it after your new video!
I had to come this song after you question and answer
i looked this song up after your Q&A and it's amazing, thank you.
Mick Gordon was listening to this while writing his 14,000 word letter with receipts and table of contents on it.
This song hits different when you're hitting the heavy bag
Dude it's amazing
Ive beat my time for endurance against a heavy bag thanks to this song.
Its the perfect song for workouts
I recently had the pleasure of blasting this while beating the shit out of my first punching bag.
"JAB! HOOK! UPPERCUT!"
You know you're the protagonist when your soundtrack is composed by Mick Gordon
Orchid is the protagonist
Well this is a fighting game.
Everyone is their own protagonist and he made the music for the first two seasons.
So this is what concentrated hype sounds like...
Captain Mappy more hype than smash 5!
666 likes
Yeah this is beastly
Omega literally tells tj's entire story. Then the 90s theme hits at the end.....by far my favorite theme in the game
This song, it is the Anthem for fighters who look at the odds and say "Nah man, I'm going to make my own." I had to do physiotherapy after losing my left lung and nearly 2 pounds of muscle from my left side and chest due to cancer this year (2023). This song gave me the momentum to ride a push through the murder hell of pain-a song for those of us who are fighters. Raise your fist to the sky if you don't give up, peeps. And thank you both, you music men, for such a strong anthem.
I sincerely hope you heal fully as soon as possible, and I'm glad to hear you're persevering!
Sending love your way. sincerely hoping you're doing well & healing.
Yeah for real
“Ride a push through the murder hell of pain” is the most metal thing I have ever seen typed. Keep at it man.
Hell yeah.
We did it guys. We passed 5 Million Views!!! Shout out to the amazing Killer Instinct community and the awesome music lovers finding this song for the first time. On October 30th I'm releasing a new video game album titled "GameBreakers Vol. 3"
This games soundtrack is amazing across the board, even in a world of ghosts, demons, robots and other dangers, this track honestly makes you believe that this human boxer, somehow has the fire and passion within him to defeat them - as the track suggests, ignore the bling, the celebrity, the trappings of wealth, TJ Combo has the spirit of a warrior burning within him, driving his fists into whatever challenge life throws at him.
tusheschannel true that man
Yeah so true, TJ is a normal human. But he proves they are warriors, its a powerful image.
Hell yea!!!
This comment gave me chills🙌
@@stillwinston3765 He's more like meta-human. He's still more human than a lot of fighters but has some enhancements from Ultra-tech to his strength and stamina.
The holy trinity of hype songs.
- I'm Back.
- Rule of Nature
- Bury the Light
Either to make the greatest comeback
Or to suplex a Metal Gear.
Or to get more power.
These guys got you covered.
Nice
I would also add...
- The Only Thing They Fear is You
- The Only Thing I Know For Real
- Devil Trigger
But that might be redundant!
@@keystrix3704 Either to shoot a hole in Mars when they say you can't
Or to be even DEADLIER against a ninja cyborg WITHOUT your weapon.
These guys got you covered.
Yes king!!!!
Since we're here, let's add...
-Follow Me (from KOF14)
-It Has To Be This Way
-BFG Division
Whether you're here to hype yourself up for the best fight of your life,
Or to stop a batshit insane senator from ending millions of lives,
Or to simply tear everything in front of you to pieces in blind rage.
On my long journey to self-love, and eventually, leading a fulfilling life, I try to listen to this every day. Pump me up for the day. Fuck yesterday, that's done, I've gone through yesterday, and guess what, world? I'm back.
Like a badass, keep pushing bro!
Make your Depression cower in fear everytime you wake up my good man.
The fire ALWAYS burns
Me at 0:00 - "This song is almost 9 minutes? Eh I'll listen to a little bit of it, give it a shot"
Me by the end of the video - "C TO THE O TO THE M-B-O"
Mick Gordon... please compose my entire fucking life!!!!!!
BAMF
Claro que si campeona!!
Pretty sure this is it
Mine would be composed of sad piano and laugh tracks
Combo: *finishes listening to several fan-made compilations* Is that the best you all got?
Mick Gordon: No, try me...

After: "why isn't this longer"
Gym anthem. 🔥🔥🔥

Thanks for blessing us with the lyrics fam.

Gym theme indeed. Especially when you need extra motivation.
Happy New Year Everyone. Thank you for keeping the gameplay and music of Killer Instinct alive all these years. I pray we all have a successful and safe 2022.

*This song hits differently during Quarantine*
TJ Combo: Man you think you got what it takes to beat the champ!?

FIGHT
@@ilimuninati4929 don't know why I read that like the MK ref
@@energyhammer2342 but you did
If music is the language of the soul, this song says "I am going to punch EVERYTHING in the face!"
*****
If you want to take his spot, you better. He put the game on lock and his reign won't stop.
This is the musical equivalent of the Dempsey roll.
It's you wanna take my you better train to box
I mean take my spot
Torcularis punch everything in the face, in the face.
Had to come back to this track since KI is coming back in a big way
FIGHT ON FOREVER!!!
ever had that moment where a song's so hype that you feel like you're gonna cry of excitement if you're not doing something equally as hype like a carry or training? yeah, i just had that moment. my arms are now sore
keep that fire burning. keep levelling up that drive and focus and make that your baseline. Going above and beyond your current limitations is the sole reason of life and evolution.
oh man one of my favorite tracks from season 2! Awesome job on this and Omega Sparx too! :D
***** Plz cover it!!
Lil V in a rap?
ElitexSquad more like a rock cover. :D
someone pls remove 2 likes pls
Yes please cover it, especially thé end 😁
I knew Mick Gordon did the modern DOOM stuff. I had no idea Mick did the KI remake stuff from the first couple of years (which I loved, as an old KI fan). Needless to say, Mick Gordon is my new hero.
He did Season 1 and 2. he didn't do Season 3 because he was busy with the DOOM Reboot.
Yes, Season 1 and 2.
I think cell dweller did a season right?
Celldweller and Atlas Plug teamed up for Seasons 3 and 3.5.
He also does the soundtracks for Wolfenstein
4:13 is some inspirational stuff, man. Make a grown man cry.
Man, I listened to this music track on repeat for 3 hours when I made a character for a TTRPG.
For an online game of D&D. There is a module referred to as Eberron. Which is a fantasy 1920s/30s. I made a character that a street Brawler based entirely on TJ Combo and Cody from SF.
The build was a Half Orc Monk. Since Orcs have an ability called Relentless Endurance. If the character's HP hits 0, they can ignore the damage and reset to 1 HP.
My character was an upstart boxer that was used to fix fights in a city. When the adventure took off, my character Brody somehow became the Tank for the party.
When Brody learned that the gambling of the matches he helped fix were being used to fund a demonic cult, Brody started to ignore the bribes. The campaign was set in 1 city, and around the mid point of the campaign. Brody was set up to be humiliated by a Minotaur Boxer. Essentially Goro from MK level of intimidating.
The party was in the audience as they watched Brody get his shit kicked in. When Brody was knocked to 0 HP, he got back up and then tried to asked for more punishment. With the cheers of Brody's party teammates, due to the IRL shouting of the players gave Brody Temporary HP for one more round in the ring.
The Minotaur was not a demon worshipper but had more to lose if he lost. So Brody, after a barrage of punches. Brody took one punch and laid on the ground. He lost but the Minotaur is convinced Brody faked it.
After the fight and getting the losing pool. The Minotaur personally congratulated Brody, by telling the party the name of the bet fixers names and locations.
The future session ended when the Minotaur came back at the end of the campaign. After sharing a kindred conversations. The last scene of Brody was like from Rocky and Apollo Creed.
Brody was later referenced by the Dungeon Master. The Half Orc started a gym and is offering mentorship for disenfranchised youths.
That’s absolutely badass. I love it when DM’s reference stuff from past games.
*TJ Combo's Comeback Theme!*
TJ Combo: I ain't *DONE!!*
Balrog: Wait, what?
Yes Death Battle
Literally, One punch of Balrog kills TJ.
That's fight are fake.
Kendell Cifuentes Joestar
Someone’s in denial.
@@EnderTitan ¿Por qué estaria en negación? 🤔
Kendell Cifuentes Joestar
Balrog hits harder, yes. But he’s way more sluggish and less calculated in his attacks. TJ might be more fragile but he’s speedy and can also pack quite the punch. Since Balrog can’t possibly hope to predict the every move of an Instinct-activated TJ Combo, I believe it is very reasonable to assume that TJ could win. It would be akin to a David v. Goliath matchup; it may seem like an uphill battle at first, but victory is nevertheless achievable. And also, never underestimate the American spirit. TJ will never surrender; you’d have to kill him, utterly.
This song is just absolute Hype wrapped into a huge shell of Hell Yeah.
this exactly
your profile picture makes me confused.
cuz like, I like jojo
but I havent watched mlp in years
ThePennilessGamer
Cool.
I guess.
Prince Coda Leviathan you said it here bro.

Us to Mick: “Do you really buy into your own hype that much?”
Mick: “I AM THE HYPE!”
Nice shirt!
I think this proves that Mick Gordon can compose literally any genre of music: From EDM rap to Tibetan and Native American Rock. Take a bow, Mr. Gordon! :D
Dont forget pop, metal, nordic, orchestra, electronic, techno, screamo, south american, middle eastern, suspense, greek chanting, j-rock, etc
I would have labelled them, but I would have been typing for aroung ten years! :D
Apollo8176 lol, ill be honest it took me a bit! Rock on dood!
You too, dood!
Apollo8176 More importantly he understands the very characters he's composing for. And he doesnt fuck around. The horn you hear in Spinal's comes from a human leg bone flute.
That is know in the business as FUCKING HARDCORE!!!
Swedish Style!
I was playing a marvel themed table top rpg and my dude was this super strong boxer. Not hulk strong but like a step down from juggernaut. Any way our team ran into thanos and I had to hold the line against him while the rest of my team went to get back up. The dice were on my side and he COULD NOT HIT ME! So i kept juking and weaving and actually managed to KO fucking thanos. By like the third turn of me NOT dying I started playing this on my phone lol
Underrated comment. Sick luck!
@Colleywoodstudios -- awesome story. Were you using Outboxing or Swarming tricks?
I really wanna see that now that I think about it
@@funnyvalentine5576 me too

We Just Passed 2 Million Views!!! Congrats to the Gaming Community for keeping Killer Instinct and its Music Alive! Shout out to Death Battle too! More nerdcore/gaming music to come. #GameBreax
It would be awesome seeing this performed live at Combo Breaker 2019!
And now it's 3 million! 🎉
Yo make a fucking album!!!
It'd be kick-ass!!!
Nearly 4 million now, the hype never dies!
It's fucking great! This is exactly the type of hip-hop I've been hungry for. And I'm a bloody metalhead for Satan's sake
When you play Little Mac competently on For Glory
My dropkicks destroy Macs.
Lol, you don't want my Ike, though.
I approve your profile picture.
I don't know if you have figured it out yet, but all of mac's smash attacks are super armored. Bowser and Ike are kinda easy for mac due to their speed.
@@picigu937 Try that crap against Spirits-Enabled Ike, and you're done.
This song is pure adrenaline hype! Especially love the transition at 7:43 when it kicks into the TJ's KI Gold theme!
You too keep coming back to listen to this almost daily... And then you'll leave it, and then you will eventually return and listen to it again. Back to raise indeed.
I don't even played any of the KI games, but I can't stop listening to this
"I'm back to RISE" *Balrog's head is flying upwards*
"Excuse me, I'm gonna hurl!"
SuperVergil13 Yeah, that part was brutal but awesome at the same time.
WE'RE GETTING AN UPDATE AFTER 5 YEARS, SUPPORT IS BACK
"Come on tiny, just you and me!"
"Bring it on asshole!"
They won't stop! How long can this go!?
Who saw the Death Battle match between TJ Combo and Balrog from Street Fighter?
That fight was perfectly choreographed with this song.
I can't think of this song without imagining TJ Combo punching off Balrogs head in Death Battle.
people always remember Mick for his work in Doom, but DAMN this is a criminaly overlooked song
The song of redemption.
This is the result of glitch hop and old-school rap getting frisky.
I like it.
"Come on tiny, JUST YOU AND ME!"
Bring it on asshole
"Bring it on asshole."
Also fun fact: in the Killer instinct 2013 reboot TJ combo was made into both a Boxer and MMA fighter. While in the old games he was boxing with dirty moves thrown in AKA dirty boxing. I'm glad they made the change because this song and TJ Combo can inspire both boxers and MMA fighters to be the best.
Killer Instinct needs a SERIOUS COMEBACK!! 2023 is definitely the year for fighting games! Street Fighter 6, Mortal Kombat 1, Tekken 8... Man could you imagine if Killer Instinct was a part of this lineup?? This track forever goes hard! #KeepKIAlive
Its happening!!!! 10 anniversary update just announced!
And now for the challenger... A former heavyweight champion who 's here to prove he can beat the best of the best even without awesome metal arms!
He is TJ COMBOOOOO!
Shooting star Dragon Death Battle!
That's where I first heard this. It was a kickass battle too
I love how it starts with the sound of quarters going into a jukebox.
This sounds like the theme of a popular Heel making a triumphant return as a Face.
*You can accomplish just about anything to a song like this, it's a total banger*
🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎧🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Good God... There's no Mick Gordon / KI song I can't leave on repeat for hours at a time.
6:40. Hypest breakdown in any modern fighter. Period.
Thanks for loving the song. Mick is a genius. Check out my new gaming album at GameBreakers.bandcamp.com
agreed,
Top three [subjectively personal] black video game characters:
3: Jax
2: Sgt. Avery Johnson
1: TJ Combo
Seriously, this song is amazing. This is definitely TJ's theme, no doubt.
Death battle got me into this song
7:42 FEEL THE POWER! BABY!
Great, now every time I see a boxer match (video game, sports, anime, cartoon, tv show, movie, or just a plain record worldstar street fight) this song is gonna pop up in my head
megalo box immediately comes to mind.
That throwback to his KI 2 theme is just a chef's kiss.
New thumbnail let's go!
This song will never stop being incredible.
Amazing theme...!!! good job Mick
+DuELm THANK YOU INTERNET PERSON.
this song is PERFECT for when you play akihiko (A.K.A "The two fisted protein junkie") in persona 4 arena/ultimax

Charlie Foxtrot And maybe 1 and 2? Or even a non-Persona SMT guest?
This song: The champion returning to defend his title.
"Knock You Out" from Street Fighter 3: The up-and-coming challenger out to prove himself.
When they add the little bit of the Killer Instinct (1994) theme in at 4:21 , I genuinely got a nostalgic tingle running down my back.
That KI circle in the middle of the screen looks like a dancing Kirby.... he gettin' down to this music!!
Great I can't unsee it
Fun fact for Both Classic and Reboot TJ:
For Classic: TJ kept the cybernetic arms in KI 1 and 2 to show unbelievable strength to get revenge on Ultratech.
For Reboot: After TJ beat the very first Fulgore version Ultra tech frame TJ cheating and was banned from boxing. AGAIN. But in this renewed timeline, TJ Combo will not go out like this, so he rip and I mean FREAKING his cybernetic arms out like Jax, got his arms ripped off by Goro, but this time he rip off his own. Unfortunately unlike Jax from Mortal Kombat, he got a very special serum by Ultra tech that give him a minor instant healing factor and completely regenerate his arms (but still has scars, but in a cool way), plus; he has very special power-up: called Berserker mode or for the Instinct named Glory Days that gives incredible speed and agility boost and also enchanced all of his attacks. (Also it gives out a little bit of strength and durability.). Now showing his new true human strength, skill, powers and abilities without his cybernetic arms, he is ready with the KI Alliance to get ready on Ultratech and stop the forces of Gargos.
Results: Now, unlike Killer Instinct 1 and 2 TJ, who only shows brute strength with his cybernetic arms. Reboot TJ (in my opinion) is far better than 1 and 2, cause he rip them off to show true human strength without them and he his a very special serum that give him so much more, plus he beat Reboot upgraded version of Riptor and reboot upgraded version of Fulgore Mk.ll without cybernetic arms to a pulp. And only in the reboot timeline, TJ is not just a boxer only knows brute force like Balorg from Street Fighter, but is BOTH a Out-Boxing Boxer and a Mixed Martial arts fighter with not only strength, but with skills, strategy, and new powers and abilities. And one final reason is that TJ has a much better version of his OST.
I love the Orchid high note singers in the background, fuckin genius. Not to mention putting the original KI theme in every single theme, good shit mate, true inspiration.
This has been my hype music for my physical therapy. Learning how to move and walk again is difficult as hell but this track is pure energy. C to the O to the M-B-O
Announcer: "Ladies and gentlemen, introducing our first fighter! He's big, he's crude, and all raw hide! Heeeeeeeeeeee's Balrooooooooooooooog!!!!!!!! Now for his challenger, a heavy weight champion with a shady history who's here to prove he can beat the best of the best, even without awesome metal arms! Heeeeee's T.J. Combooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Man, think you got what it takes to beat the champ?"
"{chuckles} You won't even make it to Round 2, wimp."
He does not longer have his metal arms?
@@brandonesauguadarramallama4084 Given how TJ literally ripped them out with his own bare hands, yes. But he gained a minor healing factor and a berserker mode
@@MrAuthor3DS HERE WE GO AAAAAAAAAAAAND FIGHT
@@someone0 "Balrog starts strong and ferocious! Better stay out of his way, TJ!"
Not a big rap guy but godDAMN does this song SLAP
It should be illegal to make songs this full of SOUL
I love how the lyrics mention actual boxing and kickboxing moves like the clinch and haymakers
This song is so great, Death Battle used it when TJ fought Balrog from Street Fighter.
6:14 is by far the best part of this song. Just pure ear candy.
I discovered this song this month, it is very motivating to train!
