[INTRO — CHOIR, NO DRUMS] [Soulful Gospel Choir] Ohhhh… We came too far… To turn around now… Ohhhh… The Midwest been waiting… [Deep Spoken Voice] They told us wait our turn. We made our own. Illinois… Midwest… Tonight, we make history. [CHOIR — BIG] NOOOOO ESCAPE! [TOTAL SILENCE — 1 SECOND] [RAPPER] AYY! LOCK THAT GATE! [MASSIVE BEAT DROP] [HOOK] No escape! Lock that gate! Whole crowd jumping, make the whole floor shake! No escape! Raise the stakes! Midwest Mayhem came to take our place! No escape! No escape! When that door lock shut, ain’t no running away! M-M-P IN THE BUILDING TONIGHT— IF YOU CAME FOR A FIGHT, MAKE SOME NOISE! [VERSE 1] Came through loud with the bass on blast Whole room turn when the fighters walk past Cameras out, everybody on feet When the beat hit hard, make the whole place leap Gloves up high, chin down low One bell ring and it’s time to go Ain’t no talking when the cage get closed Everybody tough till somebody get exposed We ain’t came for safe, we came for pressure Push that pace, who’s built better? Five minutes deep, still throwing with heat Midwest heart, we don’t know retreat Lights flash — boom Crowd yell — move Fighter hit the tunnel and the whole room lose it New promotion but the energy major Tonight we putting names on paper [HOOK] No escape! Lock that gate! Whole crowd jumping, make the whole floor shake! No escape! Raise the stakes! Midwest Mayhem came to take our place! No escape! No escape! When that door lock shut, ain’t no running away! Midwest Mayhem in the building tonight— IF YOU CAME FOR A FIGHT, MAKE SOME NOISE! [VERSE 2 — FAST DOUBLE-TIME] Let’s go! Hit ‘em with the quick step, pivot then slide Everybody tough till it’s time to collide Hands get busy, better keep ’em up high One clean shot make the whole crowd rise Push that pressure, never let up Gas tank full and the pace turned up Everybody watching, cameras on us Better come ready when you stepping with us Move with it, slip with it, jab then crack Step to the side then I’m right back at it Kick hit heavy, make the whole cage rattle Came for the win, I ain’t came just to battle Came for the moment, came for the lights Came for the roar on a Midwest night Came from Illinois, built us tough If you ain’t ready— YOU AIN’T BUILT ENOUGH! [BEAT CUT] Hold up. CAGE LOCKED? Crowd: LOCKED! FIGHTERS READY? Crowd: READY! MAYHEM READY? Crowd: READY! Then let’s go! [MASSIVE DROP] [FINAL HOOK] NO ESCAPE! LOCK THAT GATE! WHOLE CROWD JUMPING, MAKE THE WHOLE FLOOR SHAKE! NO ESCAPE! RAISE THE STAKES! MIDWEST MAYHEM, WE CAME TO TAKE OUR PLACE! NO ESCAPE! NO ESCAPE! WHEN THAT DOOR LOCK SHUT, AIN’T NO RUNNING AWAY! ILLINOIS! MAKE SOME NOISE! MIDWEST! MAKE SOME NOISE! MAYHEM! MAKE SOME NOISE! [FAST FINAL VERSE] First one up and we setting the tone Built this thing from the ground to the throne Everybody watching, remember the name Midwest Mayhem just entered the game No slowing down, keep foot on gas Every bout better than the last From the opening bell to the main event Whole building know where the energy went Straight to ten, we don’t do halfway Illinois standing, make the whole place shake Door locked tight, better know your fate Welcome to Mayhem— NO ESCAPE! [FINAL BEAT HIT] M! M! P! M! M! P! MIDWEST MAYHEM PROMOTIONS! NO ESCAPE!
