10 Absolutely RIDICULOUS Wrestling Theme Lyrics
3. Billy Kidman - You Can Run
Which adjective is ideally used to describe a pro wrestling theme tune?
Powerful?
Rousing?
...Rapey?
You would think not, but it is impossible to disassociate the lyrics, the lyrics to a pro wrestling theme song, from the most reprehensible act a human being is capable of.
This hip-hop menacer broods in its introductory clash of drums and ominous synths. "You can run if you want to..." are the first lyrics heard, cruelly promising the victim a chance of survival. "...but you can't hide," the rapper follows up. This is fair. Billy Kidman is a fighting babyface, and he is simply advising his opponents that, look. You can taunt me backstage, you can drag my name in promos, but when I get you in that ring...
...I am going to sexually assault you.
"Keep actin' though, it's gonna get creepy."
What?
Does he mean "scary", using a weird synonym to shoehorn in a rhyme?
"All of a sudden, you're startin' to feel sleepy..."
Don't be alarmed. This is more clumsy than problematic. Those Rohypnol vibes are incidental; he is referring to a chinlock.
"But in these streets, when you doze off, you wake up wit'cha clothes off, ashamed, feelin' lost..."
Right, that settles it: Billy Kidman laces his rivals' drinks with incapacitating agents before committing major crimes on TV.
Should have called him Mickey Kidman.
