Poser: Slam Time

So you think you can beat me?
You might as well just flee.
All I do is rhyme.
You can’t earn you a dime.
Delusional, you must be.

My rhymes overpower.
You run and you cower.
I spit bars.
Write your memoirs,
Cause you’re rhymes are sour.

This battle is over.
You’re rhyming skills are lower.
But don’t be mad,
I had this in the bag.
You’re just a hack and a poser.


An aabba rhyme scheme.  The bb lines (third and fourth) of each stanza should be read twice as fast as the other lines, as if they were one line split in two.
