Slam Time

So you think you can rhyme
go ahead, ring that chime
you have no ability to compose a verse
or the drive to excel in this course 

So just go ahead, try your best
but I will undoubtedly be unimpressed
perhaps you will someday aspire
To be so good with the Lyre

Go ahead, the gauntlets thrown
try your best or be disowned
you'll never be better then me
even if you live 'til four thousand twenty-three
