about
The artist DICI is donating 100% of his net proceeds from each download of "Five Rings" to support USA Boxing and their 1,700 local USA Boxing Clubs. He welcomes your additional donation of any amount for this worthy cause.
The lyrics for "Five Rings" were inspired by DICI's appreciation for the discipline, hard work, and tenacity involved in the sport of boxing. Upon learning of the lack of funding USA Boxing receives outside its core membership and of its positive impact on youth in local communities, he was moved to want to help.
“I’m grateful to be in a position where I can help the sport of boxing and young people like myself pursue their passion. While I’m no Floyd Mayweather or Rashida Ellis, I’m honored to be part of the journey to help amateur boxers succeed." - DICI.
About Local USA Boxing Clubs:
Local USA Boxing clubs play a significant role in communities. They offer more than just a location to train, compete, and foster future medalists. They provide a safe haven, a sense of belonging, and a place where the youth of all ages learn life skills that enable them to reach their fullest potential. Through the dedication of coaches, trainers, referees, and volunteers, including first responders, hundreds of thousands of people benefit from the positive impact local USA Boxing clubs provide. USA Boxing is the national governing body for amateur and Olympic-style boxing in the U.S.
Five rings, five rings
I sing, I sing
I’m in the sky
I fly away
Five rings, five rings
I sing, I sing
I’m in the sky
I fly away
Five rings take it how you will
I do not care how you feel
But still
I don’t know why
I sigh
I’m in the wind
the sky
I’m here to win
survive
I know some things
That money can’t buy
I know some ways
That I waste my time
I know all of this up in my mind
Up in my mind
Five rings, five rings
I sing, I sing
I’m in the sky
I fly away
Five rings, five rings
I sing, I sing
I’m in the sky
I fly away
I train
I work
And sometimes it hurts
Sometimes it feels like my brain it might burst
Sometimes I wish that I never came first
Attention’s the worst
Way worse than words
Way worse than all of the pain I endure
But this what I chose to do
No matter how blue
I always come through
When it’s due
Now look at the view…
Five rings, five rings
I sing, I sing
I’m in the sky
I fly away
Five rings, five rings
I sing, I sing
I’m in the sky
I fly away
I got to
I need to
I have to succeed
Stay on my grind, that’s no matter the fee
No matter the price that I see
Even if I gotta swim to the depths of the sea
It’s not for the green
It’s more than that
Spazzing on tracks you might think that I’m wack
And in the end, I’m just singing
And in the end, I’m just singing
And in the end, I’m just singing
And in the end, I’m just singing
Five rings, five rings
I sing, I sing
I’m in the sky
I fly away
Five rings, five rings
I sing, I sing
I’m in the sky
I fly away
