Strike First | Johnny Lawrence 80s Metal Tribute (Cobra Kai)
#StrikeFirst #CobraKai #JohnnyLawrence
Johnny Lawrence is a tough, stubborn, old-school fighter who grew up believing strength meant never backing down. He starts out rough around the edges, stuck in the past, broke, and emotionally clumsy, but there’s a real heart under the anger. He’s the kind of guy who charges into problems instead of thinking them through, messes up a lot, then tries again anyway. What makes him compelling is that he’s not pretending to be perfect or enlightened, he’s trying to become better using tools that were never meant for growth. He’s driven by pride, loyalty, and a need to prove he still matters, and even when he’s wrong, he shows up, takes hits, and keeps swinging.
Lyrics:
Lights go up, the room goes cold
Smiles are fake, the show gets old
I don’t bow, I don’t wait
Kick the door, crash the gate
Heart on fire, hands in fists
Crowd wakes up when the punch hits
Nice and neat is not my way
I came to shake this place awake
Turn it loud, feel the floor
They don’t know what’s coming for them
Strike first, strike hard
Make them feel it in the dark
Strike first, no retreat
When the calm gets weak, we bring the heat
Strike first, stand your ground
When it’s quiet, break the sound
Strike first, cross the line
We don’t wait, we hit on time
Been knocked down, got back up
Busted knuckles, tasted blood
Learned the hard way, learned it fast
Every scar talks to the past
I don’t hide, I don’t bend
I don’t fold when the pressure hits
You play safe, I play real
You play games, I make it feel
Turn it loud, break the calm
Let them know we’re here for war
Strike first, strike hard
Make them feel it in the dark
Strike first, no retreat
When the calm gets weak, we bring the heat
Strike first, stand your ground
When it’s quiet, break the sound
Strike first, cross the line
We don’t wait, we hit on time
No fear in my eyes
No brakes on this ride
Hands up, crash the line
We don’t wait for the sign
No fear in my eyes
No brakes on this ride
Hands up, crash the line
We don’t wait
Strike first, strike hard
Make them feel it in the dark
Strike first, no retreat
When the calm gets weak, we bring the heat
Strike first, stand your ground
When it’s quiet, break the sound
Strike first, cross the line
We don’t wait, we hit on time
Lights go wild, hear the roar
Strike first
Strike Hard
No Mercy
