Yo, meat bag
Hold it
Got my 200, Rock?
Right, Mr. Gazzo, here you go
But he only had a hundred and thirty
I think he's good for the rest next week
Oh yeah?
A little bird in the neighborhood
Said you didn't do what I said you should
And I just wanna know why (He just wants to know why)
He's gotta pay what he's gotta pay
You softened up and he got away
And I just wanna know why
Hey, Balboa
Come here
There was some guy here from Miles Jergens looking for you
Guess they need sparring partners for Apollo Creed
Here's his card
They're probably looking for sparring partners for Creed, y'know?
That's what I just said, you dumb dago!
You know what, Mickey?
I been coming here seven years or so
And you give me hell every time I show
And I just wanna know why
Do you now?
Yeah!
I wanna know where you're comin' from
You put me down every time I come
And I just wanna know why!
You wanna know why?
I wanna know why!
You wanna know?
Yeah, I wanna know!
Okay!
I'm gonna tell you:
'Cause you have the talent to become a good fighter
You have the heart
And you can stand up to punishment like no man I ever seen
But instead
You become a leg-breaker for some cheap second-rate loan shark
I gotta make a living!
You gotta have a little respect for yourself
It's a waste of a life, kid
A waste of a goddamn life
