Where you at?
Where you at?
Where you at?

Typhoon, where you at?
Now you see him, just like that
If you lose, who's to blame?
Typhoon, you know the name

If you lose the fight, who's to blame? (You)
Every time you hear him say his name, it's a shame (typhoon)
The way they hold his hands up in the air
Why you standin' there like you don't care?
He's been winnin' fights since he was two (since he was two)
You could think I'm lying but it's true (it's true)
If you fight him, try to keep from going under (don't lose)
If you a runner, he's gon' chase you like a hunter
He's moving fast (fast), it's hard to see (can't see him)
I'm a typhoon, ain't no stopping me

Let's go, let's go
Let's go, let's go
We could fight standing up or on the floor (on the floor)
Typhoon (who is it?) 
Where you at? (Where you at?)
Now you see him and just like that (just like that)
You lose (man), who's to blame?
Typhoon, you know the name
Uh, let's go, let's go
Let's go, let's go (go) (fight)
Champ, it's the champ

Big cyclone, yeah, I'm full grown
From the Philippines back to Hong Kong (you see me)
You see me in Hawaii but don't be scared
You know you gotta fight me and it's never fair (fight)
'Cause I'm a typhoon, it ain't the same
A lotta bad weather but you can't complain
Get your ass kicked (bitch), what you swingin' at?
You punching hella air, now you on your back (get up)
You gotta get up and fight another round
I'ma hit you in your face and try to knock you down
Maybe this is all just a metaphor (it's real)
I'm lookin' up, I'm lookin' down, get off the floor (gotta get up)
This life is hard and everyday's another fight
It's you against the world, that's your life (fight)
Don't tell me when I brawl, I can't win 'em all (win)
Don't try to help me get up when I fall
You wanna be friends with the champ, I know (I know)
But you will never be a typhoon, just let it go (just let it go)
Where you at?

Typhoon, where you at?
Now you see him, just like that
If you lose, who's to blame?
Typhoon, you know the name
