Legendary Convict
Walked in through those gates, the legends foretold/
valley of death? Try a circus of old/
The baddest dude charged, Timber! Came the call/
He fell like a Jenga tower, five stories tall/
A gang rolled up, thinking strength in their mix/
Twenty-five sprawled out, my karate did the tricks/
One guy swung a mop, I said, nice try my dude/
Bruce Lee sends his regards, you're downright screwed/
The warden, amused, said, you're quite a catch/
But here's the yard, better watch your match/
I replied, bring a referee, I'll fight the sun/
Prison weights? A toy, I lift bars for fun/
Heard of Big Tony, a baker in his cell/
Wanted me to fold, but I don't crumble, oh well/
He yelled; you can't handle this crusty bread fight/
I left him in crumbs, baker's dozen, goodnight/
Cellmates wanted a laugh; I gave them my line/
Why was the belt arrested? For holding up a crime/
Laughter echoed loud, like a jailbreak spree/
Legendary convict, now that's my decree/
They put me in solitary, thought I'd go mad/
But I tap danced with shadows, not half bad/
My mirror's my rival, I said with a wink/
Best fight I've ever had, and the toughest I think/
Release day came; warden gave me a grin/
Your Legend's now famous, let the world begin/
Life's a riot and the yard was my stage/
Off I went, the legend, turning the page/
