I don't play fair because I am old;

and though I don't tire as easily on the mats

I do get dizzy sometimes

and I'd rather finish fights quickly

than prolong a bout in the search

of the perfect flying armbar.

If it's any consolation

I'll teach you everything I know

all the wrist locks and heel hooks

how to choke someone to sleep

and how to make them cry out in pain

because they tried to hurt you

or someone you were protecting;

and if you're determined to fight

I'll show you how to stay lawful

while sowing chaos on the street.
