In Case I'm Ever in a Rap Battle.

I'm not a poet.

I don't care if this **** rhymes.

Or if when I deliver it

I keep in time.

 

If this was a rap battle.

Bet I'd get destroyed.

They'd walk rhymes around me.

Fill fat purses with on the fly verses.

Drop that **** on me.

Thinking they're so ******* cool.

 

But for all the jumpin around

I see all these people doing on stage,

For all the time they're up,

Standing stooped like a dragons

In fits of rage.

They aren't standing for ****

 

You can shout louder.

And talk faster all you want.

But this isn't the O'Reilly Factor.

Those rhymes,

Come from a dictionary.

Arbitrary and praying for cash.

 

That game's from the streets.

And those mother ******* streets are cold.

Put up the fire.

I don't need you in here with

That ice in your chest.

And flaming head.

Licking and spitting them.

Feet stepping in them.

Stomping around like a kangaroo,

Reading the map all upside down.

 

You're seeing the world all wrong.

**** ******* get money?"

**** you go home.

Give that **** to a shelter.

Because a lot of people don't have one.

Jokingly texted a friend I was a rapper while listening to a Macklemore album. Stood up and wrote what I'd say if I was actually in a rap battle.
