Quantcast



Aaah, Balrog, you never get your dues, do you? Recognized only for having your name swapped with M. Bison, you will remain one of the least cared about Street Fighter characters ever. But fret not, oh noble boxer of confusing identity crisis, you and your Gigaton Punch have finally gotten some recognition. Rest easy gentle warrior, you have arrived at last. 

I really don't understand why I find this rap funny.

Balrog couldn't kick, that's why he has a special place in my heart.

Gigaton punch much? That was a verbal abortion. Still, pretty funny. And I thought the only game rappers played was Madden.

The multiple gigaton punch from every angle was easily so hawt. No wonder the Shadowloo wanted him.

The lyrics to this Great Tribute if anyone was wondering what they were. I have watched this video so many times and it never gets old. Please make more videos like this!! This was a hit!!!

Uh, I hit the gym about 6 days a week
To hit, the punching bag to keep my jab from getting weak
I jump, the jump rope to build speed with my feet
See you gotta be in shape, In order to be great
I got my blue shorts with the matching blue vest
White tank top, yo I keep it so fresh
Can't nobody stop me cause, They get knocked, once they get socked by my boxing Gloves
I got too much power to get tired
These other fighters are cowards with fire balls, balls
but Balrog don't need it, Nah, They rock they jaw
There guarnteed to get defeated by this raw south paw
Understand that a man cant stand a chance against these hands
cause they knocked out an elephant.
So going against me is not intelligent, its real dumb

(chorus)
So they should never ever try to go against
my gigaton punch, gigaton punch, gigaton punch,
gigaton punch, gigaton punch, gigaton punch, gigaton punch, gigaton punch,
yo they dont want to see my gigaton punch, gigaton punch, gigaton punch, gigaton punch,
Gigaton punch, gigaton punch, gigaton punch, gigaton punch

Look, Look
I was in the gym late thursday
Feeling real thirsty.
Quenching my thirst as I lean against the ropes, AND
All of a sudden, AND, Door burst open, AND
The doorway started filling up with smoke, AND
3 men came in and stepped in the light,
As i stepped out the ring, I was expecting a Fight.
One man wore red but his eyes looked white
and the badge on his uniform said, M.BiSon
The dude on his left, had a scar on his chest,
banadages on his feet,
with a patch on his eye.
But the guy on the right had bands round his waist
With very long hair and a mask on his face.
I was gonna to swing, unitl I seen the dudes fists ,looked like wolverines.
He said, look we don't wanna battle you
We here to welcome you to shadowloo

Because we really like your gigaton punch
Gigaton punch(repeat)
Because we really like your gigaton punch)
