The phrase “cock-back“ is used in Eminem's song 'Phenomenal' :
“...feel like you want to hit that wall, then do it, punch through it, just cock-back, put your all into it“
What does this phrase mean?

Wouldn't that be weird in this context? The message this song conveys is all about not giving up and moving forwards.– user192211Commented Dec 23, 2016 at 8:55

5Draw your fist back so you are ready to strike a blow. Parallel to pulling the hammer back on a handgun so you are ready to pull the trigger to fire a shot.– deadratCommented Dec 23, 2016 at 9:49

I think you can include the first comment in the question and delete the second one. Deadrat's comment answers your question. Think about a cock's head and imagine how it moves back and forth.– user140086Commented Dec 23, 2016 at 13:30

8Actually I don't think it is; you can "cock back" your fist in preparation for a punch, and given that it mentions hitting and punching immediately before, it's pretty evident to me that it does mean your fist.– HellionCommented Feb 18, 2017 at 3:51
