Sweet Science

Intro

Mm

Yeah

Yeah check it

Verse 1

Forty years of leather and lather

Ring so small but the science is vast

Feint with the shoulder

Parry with the wrist

Hit and don't get hit that's the whole craft

Tyson was a storm inside twelve rounds

Roy Jones floated like a theorem

Catch the right hand sliding off the guard

Turn the angle now I'm reading his rhythm

Pre-Chorus

Precision ain't luck

Timing ain't chance

Every ripple on the rope is a map

Watch the shoulder twitch

Watch the back foot plant

Sweetest thing I know is the tap tap tap

Chorus

They call it sweet science

Sugar on the jab

Move like a theorem

Hit like a fact

(Yeah)

Sweet science

Beat is in the math

Barrera and Morales

Running out of slack

Post-Chorus

(One two) one two

(Pull and counter) pull and counter

(Sweet science) sweet science

Huh

Verse 2

Barrera marched forward no fear in his face

Morales answered fire with fire

Pacquiao threw a hundred hands in a blink

Márquez studied him right down to the wire

Klitschko stacked a jab like a brick wall

Golovkin walked through the thunder and rain

Loma shifted on a dime with a shrug

Crawford reads the whole game through the grain

Pre-Chorus

Boxing ain't a slugfest

It's a chess match

Knuckles are the pieces on the board

Breath is the tempo

Blink is the trap

Every move a sentence every slip a word

Chorus

They call it sweet science

Sugar on the jab

Move like a theorem

Hit like a fact

(Yeah)

Sweet science

Beat is in the math

Barrera and Morales

Running out of slack

Post-Chorus

(One two) one two

(Pull and counter) pull and counter

(Sweet science) sweet science

Huh

Verse 3

Canelo slips the hook then answers with three

Mayweather made geometry a fist

Chocolatito put sweetness in the mix

Inoue lands the body like a kiss

Every artist in the gym with the chalk

Drawing angles on the floor with a toe

The sweet part ain't the violence that lands

It's the knowing where the violence will go

Bridge

Piece by piece

Step by step

Slow on the outside

Fast in the mess

(Fast in the mess)

Piece by piece

Beat by beat

Sweetest craft my

Hands repeat

Chorus

They call it sweet science

Sugar on the jab

Move like a theorem

Hit like a fact

(Yeah)

Sweet science

Beat is in the math

Barrera and Morales

Running out of slack

Post-Chorus

(One two) one two

(Pull and counter) pull and counter

(Sweet science) sweet science

Huh

Outro
