Slam Time - So You Think You Can Rhyme

you think you can rhyme
your words out of time
like a dancer offbeat
you step and repeat
you sound like a fool
your mouth open to drool
trying to take me down
like bozo the clown
no  words to be heard
and nothing to say
so you flip them the bird
then you walk away
like a sucker in a suit
you're better off mute
