The Sweet Science

while shadow boxing sometimes i kept on moving dancing and a prancing just bouncing off the ropes in my imagination and suddenly i caught my opponent shadow off guard standing flat footed so i use the sweet science of boxing with some stiff jabs plus some body shots back up to the head then the overhand right that knocked my shadow out cold yeah ten feet off the ground towards outer space well i just kept on dancing. sticking and moving popping the jabs with my gloves weaving in and out quick-lightning hand speed toe-to-toe man-to-man the sweet science inside the boxing ring still, lives inside of me
