I have two favorite sports.
On a stage and the b.ball court!
That's right, I'm a basketball player.
A bonafide rhyme slayer!
I can shoot a three-pointer
and give a defending player whiplash!
I'm a shooting guard
Like Steve Nash.
A spoken word poet
in a demented rage.
I like the spotlight.
When I take the stage.
These are the sports I'm good at.
On the stage or basketball court, I'm trained for combat!
