Lyrics
[Drop]
Hands like iron feet like wind
Strike first strike hard strike again
[Verse 1]
Sunrise on the temple steps
Barefoot on the frozen stone
Master says the path is long
So I train until I'm bone
Every bruise a lesson learned
Every fall a gift I keep
Silence in the bamboo grove
While the village is asleep
[Pre-Chorus]
Slow breath quick hands
Iron palm shifting sand
Old forms new land
One more round I understand
[Chorus]
Kung fu kung fu
Strike the air and split the sky
Kung fu kung fu
Tiger fist and eagle eye
Kung fu kung fu
Every scar a battle cry
Kung fu kung fu
I will never say goodbye
[Post-Chorus]
Hai-ya hai-ya
(Hai-ya hai-ya)
Hai-ya hai-ya
(Hai-ya)
[Verse 2]
Crane stance on a single toe
Cobra coiled behind my ribs
Rival crew on the river road
Came to test what I believe
Sparring till the lanterns fade
Sweat and thunder in my chest
Seven years of quiet work
Now the student earns his rest
[Pre-Chorus]
Slow breath quick hands
Iron palm shifting sand
Old forms new land
One more round I understand
[Chorus]
Kung fu kung fu
Strike the air and split the sky
Kung fu kung fu
Tiger fist and eagle eye
Kung fu kung fu
Every scar a battle cry
Kung fu kung fu
I will never say goodbye
[Post-Chorus]
Hai-ya hai-ya
(Hai-ya hai-ya)
Hai-ya hai-ya
(Hai-ya)
[Bridge]
Centered and calm I carry the flame
Humble and proud I honor the name
Centered and calm I carry the flame
Humble and proud
[Chorus]
Kung fu kung fu
Strike the air and split the sky
Kung fu kung fu
Tiger fist and eagle eye
Kung fu kung fu
Every scar a battle cry
Kung fu kung fu
I will never say goodbye
[Post-Chorus]
Hai-ya hai-ya
(Hai-ya hai-ya)
Hai-ya hai-ya
(Hai-ya)
