I found this in comment section of a Youtube video a few years ago, poster said he got the lyrics from Adam Morenoff himself.

His (Adam Morenoff's) quote:
"We didn't get that whole song recorded in time,
Johnston wrote the lyrics, but he wasn't done in time for Jericho's debut,
so we I some placeholder lines over the track he had layed out so he would have something to use.
He ended up liking the first verse I improvised, and it was used.
The rest wasn't heard after the first night."


What's my name, bitch?
For those about to rock, I'm what 'ya want
Baby you know your'e Judas, and I'm your preist
Baby what I got is not from the least...
Bring it through the stage in the rage of a beast
Step in the arena and break the walls down
Step in the arena and break the walls down! (now 'ya now)

For those about to rock, set the clock.
For those who think they got it, You know you don't.
When I'm up on the stage, I'm in a rage!
Step in the arena and break the walls down!
For those, you'll see, you're weak, I'm king! You're nothing but a queen!
Step in the arena and break the walls down!
Pull off your shirt little boy, it's time for work.
Sit your butt down baby, it's time for class.
I am the ruler, I am the master, I am the one who is all, ask the pastor! (Woo!)
Step in the arena and break the walls down! (X3)
Step to the walls and knock em' down!

Are you ready for the one now?
Then watch me flow! Breakin' on down the walls of Jericho!
Yeah, who's the man now?
And don't come back, You're facing a dream!
You can't even breathe! You can't do nothing!
When I'm in your face you can't shake the fear that I'll leave you bleeding when I'm Breakin on down the walls of Jericho!
So now it's time to rock!
Come on!?

Also, the lyrics for 1999 version on the site are from the latter version.

These lyrics are wrong... I don't care where the original poster says he got them from.

"For those, you'll see, you're weak, I'm king! You're nothing but a queen!"
"Pull off your shirt little boy, it's time for work."

Those 2 lines are 100% wrong...

I'm not usually into lyrics but is interesting to see what the lines are considering it's such an iconic theme and it sounds quite garbled. Thanks for sharing
