John Cena theme Song Lyrics 

[Hook: John Cena]

Your time is up. My time is now

You can't see me, my time is now

It's the franchise, boy I'm shining now

You can't see me, my time is now!

[Verse 1: John Cena]

In case you forgot or fell off I'm still hot, knock your shell off

My money stack fat plus I can't turn the swell off

The franchise, doing big business, I live this

It's automatic I win this oh you hear those horns, you finished

A soldier, and I stay under you fighting

Plus I'm storming on you chumps like I'm thunder and lightning

Ain't no way you breaking me kid, I'm harder than nails

Plus I keep it on lock, like I'm part of the jail

I'm slaughtering stale competition, I got the whole block wishing

They could run with my division but they gone fishing

With no bait, kid your boy hold weight

I got my soul straight, I brush your mouth like Colgate

In any weather I'm never better your boy's so hot

You'll never catch me in the next man's sweater

If they hate, let 'em hate, I drop ya whole clan

Lay yo' ass down for the three second tan

[Hook]

Your time is up, my time is now

You can't see me, my time is now

It's the franchise, boy I'm shining now

You can't see me, my time is now!

[Verse 2: Trademarc]

Yeah, uh

It's gonna be what it's gon' be

Five pounds of courage buddy, tint pants with a gold T

Uh it's a war dance and victory step

A raw stance is a gift, when you insist it's my rep

John Cena, Trademarc, y'all are so-so and talk about

The bread you make but don't know the recipe for dough though

Aimin guns in all your photos, that's a no-no

When this pop, you'll lip lock, your big talk's a blatant no-show

See what happens when the ice age melt

You see monetary status is not what matters, but it helps

I rock a timepiece by Benny if any

The same reason y'all could love me is the same reason y'all condemn me

A man's measured by the way that he thinks

Not clothing lines, ice links, leather and minks

I spent 20 plus years seeking knowledge of self

So for now Marc Predka's living live for wealth

[Hook]

Your time is up, my time is now

You can't see me, my time is now

It's the franchise, boy I'm shining now

You can't see me, my time is now!

Your time is up, my time is now

You can't see me, my time is now

It's the franchise, boy I'm shining now

You can't see me. My time is now!
