There is no explicit language, no sexual content or innuendo, no drug or alcohol references, and no disturbing imagery. The references to 'stalking prey' and 'the thrill of the fight' are metaphorical, drawing on a competitive sports/survival theme consistent with the Rocky III film it was written for. The overall message is positive and empowering, encouraging listeners to hold onto their dreams and keep pushing forward despite adversity.

Lyrics

Risin' up, back on the street Took my time, took my chances Went the distance Now I'm back on my feet Just a man and his will to survive So many times, it happened too fast You trade your passion for glory Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past You must fight just to keep them alive It's the eye of the tiger It's the thrill of the fight Risin' up to the challenge Of our rival And the last known survivor Stalks his prey in the night And his fortune must always be Eye of the tiger Face to face, out in the heat Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry They stack the odds Still we take to the street For we will with the skill to survive It's the eye of the tiger It's the thrill of the fight Risin' up to the challenge Of our rival And the last known survivor Stalks his prey in the night And his fortune must always be Eye of the tiger Risin' up straight to the top Had the guts, got the glory Went the distance Now I'm not gonna stop Just a man and his will to survive It's the eye of the tiger It's the thrill of the fight Risin' up to the challenge Of our rival And the last known survivor Stalks his prey in the night And his fortune must always be Eye of the tiger The eye of the tiger Oh the eye of the tiger The eye of the tiger
