Akira The Don, Joe Rogan - Fight All The Time lyrics

I fought from the time I was 15, and
I think I had my last fight
It was either I was 21 or 22
The last three fights were kickboxing fights
And I had those while I
Was doing standup comedy
I was spreading myself too thin
I was working a bunch of different
Jobs, I was working delivering newspapers
I was working as a private investigator's
Assistant, I did some construction
I did a bunch of different odd
Jobs to make a living
I had three kickboxing fights
And I was entertaining the
Idea of fighting professionally
But I was also starting to get
Really worried about brain damage
I did a lot of boxing
Sparring and a lot of what
You would call gym wars


Where guys would just
We would beat the shit out of each other
And you'd get hurt and
Come homе with headaches
You would basically be fighting in thе gym
The gyms that I came up in were
Real hard nose, really you know, tough gyms
If you weren't tough you did not survive
And they weren't interested in anybody
That couldn't take a shot
Or anybody that wasn't willing to go to war
So you would put on a mouthpiece and put on
A cup, you put your shin pads on
And you'd beat the fuck out of each other
And that was a big part
Of learning how to fight

You would fight all the time
Fight, fight, all the time
I'd have fights several days a week
You would fight, you would fight all the time
Fight, fight, all the time
You would fight, you would
Fight, you would fight, all the time

I would make some of the
People laugh in training
'Cause we were always nervous
Everytime, when we would go to
Tournament's, we were nervous, because
You know i'd seen many of my
Friends get knocked unconscious
In these tournaments, get kicked in the head
Taken to hospitals
And you know, I'd seen it in the gym too
A lot of guys getting beat
Up and knocked down it was constant
It had happened to me a couple
Of times i'd been hurt
So we had this gallows humor
We would go to these events
The tension would be so thick
Everybody taking deep breaths and
Trying to relax
And just stay loose before you fight
And I would be the class clown
It was a charged environment
So anything that I said that was actually
Funny would get a giant reaction
And that became addictive

You would fight all the time
Fight, fight, all the time
I'd have fights several days a week
You would fight, you would fight all the time
Fight, fight, all the time
You would fight, you would
Fight, you would fight, all the time
You would fight all the time
Fight, fight, all the time
I'd have fights several days a week
You would fight, you would fight all the time
Fight, fight, all the time
You would fight, you would
Fight, you would fight, all the time

My take on it was
You think I'm funny because you're my friend
But other people are gonna
Think I'm an asshole
Like the things that I think
Are funny are fucked up
I have a fucked up sense of humor i mean
Here I am devoting most of my time trying
To get really good at
Knocking people unconscious
Trying to separate people
And their consciousness
So I was doing my best every
Day to get good at that
I was trying to hurt people that's what
I was trying to get good at
I was trying to get good at hurting the
Human body i was such a weirdo
No one would think that the things that
I was making fun of were funny
But I knew from martial arts that if
I worked really hard at something
I could get good at it
And I had this thought that maybe I could do
That with comedy 'cause I
Didn't wanna fight anymore
I mean, for a person who's been through
What I've done with my body
My body works remarkably well
But the brain damage thing, I don't know
I really don't know
I really step back and think about some
Of those wars that I was in
In my last fight, I got TKO'd, I got stopped
I got hit with a left hook and dropped
And my legs went out
From under me, and then I got
Up and I get hit again
Fell down again and they stopped the fight
That was when I decided I'm going to stop
I know where this is going i
Saw guys at the gym, who were punchdrunk
Slurring their words, they
Would forget things, and I had seen
Some people progress towards that
And it was very, very disturbing
And I'd be lying in bed at night after a
Hard sparring session and my
Head would be pounding
I would think, "What am I doing
To my fucking brain? Like
What am I doing to myself?"
I got real lucky that I found standup comedy

You would fight all the time
You would fight all the time
I'd have fights several days a week
You would fight, you would fight all the time
Fight, fight, all the time
You would fight, you would fight
You would fight all the time
Basically, you're having fights all the time
You would fight all the time
I'd have fights several days a week
You would fight, you would fight all the time
Fight, fight all the time
You would fight, you would fight
You would fight all the time

I mean if the UFC was around back then
I most certainly would've started fighting
And you know to not
Be training intelligently
Because I wasn't training intelligent
I was training like a meathead
And that was just all we knew back then
I probably would have sustained
Some pretty significant damage
Before I ever even got into the Octagon
I probably would've already had
Massive brain damage
Before I ever had a fight
