Showdown Slam Short Version

I bathe myself in the madness of rhyme
I save myself for the insanity of time
Whether it's internal rhyme or slant rhyme
I hope you'll find that I'll never mind
Because my verse is defined by my verbiage
And if you call it verbose I'll call you in rage
Because I'll never be locked in the cage
And sometimes I lose focus and switch it all around
Like I'm a clown who hears no sound
Or maybe I'm a just a lion
Lyin' when I say my favorite dish is Mayan
But this showdown slam has me flyin'
And if you can't keep up with me
Let me just cut the chains and set you free
