Boxing Beats Song Lyrics

(Keiron is a young amateur boxer who wrote enthusiastically about what he loved about boxing. He was also quiet and politely spoken. When I asked him to write down what he didn’t like simply wrote "There is absolutely nothing I do not like about boxing." That was that. I loved how it was simply the end of the discussion. )

Keiron Williams - There's nothing

You’re asking for downsides
That’s disloyalty
You get it yourself
You won’t get it through me.

Now, ask me what I like
And I’ll give hand over fist
But I won’t make up for you
What doesn’t exist

I’ll keep my hands up.

Cos the referee said, son
Defend yourself at all times
There’s nothing not to like
About boxing

You ask someone else
Cos I’ll not be the key
You get it yourself
You won’t get it from me

Now, ask me what I like
And I’ll give you a list
But I won’t make up for you
What doesn’t exist

And honestly, I don’t mean to be rude
And honestly, I don’t mean to be short
But any good boxer is bound to protect
Themselves and the love of their sport

I’ll keep my hands up.

Cos the referee said, son
Defend yourself at all times
There’s nothing not to like
About boxing
