Not Gonna Give Up (Cody Jericho 4)

[mysticbabydoll]

There comes a time in all our lives when your backs to the wall and it'd do or die.
Do you stand your ground or walk away?
(Would you walk away?)
My heart's been broke, my pride's been striped,
Every time this world tells me to quit,
I hear that voice inside me saying

It's the hard knocks, it's the long shots,
It's believing in yourself when you're all you got.
You don't turn back, you don't give in,
Rising up to be the last man standing!

Cody closes his eyes, and listens to the words of the song. He soaks it in, and takes a deep breath. He opens his eyes, and glares at the camera as he starts talking.

Shut up you worthless worm, and all you are is gum on the bottom of my boot. You are not gonna like what I am gonna do to you in this match, and I am playing around with you. I am coming into this match to make an example out of you, and you will realize that I am more then what you think. Did it ever occur to you that the reason that I haven't asked for anyone's help is for the fact that I am afraid that I will be turned down, and I really don't think I can handle that. I am coming into this match with one goal, and that is to rip you apart leaving you battered and bloody.

Cody walks off with a smug look on his face full of confidence, and the show fades to black.
