Was absolutely honoured that Mick Conlon and his team asked if I'd write a tune for his Homecoming Fight this Saturday in Belfast. Coming from such an Irish legend couldn't say no. And no doubt he'll get the job done on Saturday night!
Born in belfast in 91, that's where this journey begun
With his Dad and his brother he couldn't go wrong, too quick too slick too powerful and strong
Destined for greatness at only 19, made it on the Irish Olympic team
And at the London Games was a little unknown, til he went and brought a Bronze Medal home
Let's hear it for Ireland's boxing number 1, Mick Conlon Belfast finest son
Said f#ck you to all the cheats, and Wu's corrupt judging scum
Turned pro now he's 7-0 and on the 30th of June he's coming home
He's going to give the Irish a reason to shout, when he knocks Dos Santos, clean out!
Kept working, became Europe's number one, putting opponents away for fun
And at the Worlds under pressure he didn't fold, became the first Irish man to ever win gold
And Rio was next, again gold was one, til AIBA and the other cheats came along
Well he gave them the finger and he said f#uck you, you want stop me making my dreams come true
Headed off to America to follow the dream, putting the same work into a new regime
Backed by all the Irish and MTK, in Madison Square Garden on Paddy's day.
Couldn't be touched for the next 6 fights and now he's home in front Belfast's bright lights
Well there's no one like him, has the speed to match him, the skill or ability to ever catch him
