brain rapp – sporting goods lyrics
[hook: brain rapp] x2
growing up as a kid i was never good at sports
i was always too small, too slow, too short
the athletic type, i really wasn’t that sort
so rhymes became my ball and beats became my court
[verse 1: brain rapp]
pigskin in my hand i couldn’t throw it ten yards
instrumental in my ears, i’ll throw you more than ten bars
on the soccer field i never kicked one goal
but i can kick a rhyme over an ill drum roll
freshman year football i played the sideline
third string corner back what a waste of my time
little number twenty nine just waiting for a play
wishing for a quarter, man that will be the day
only got in four downs, never got to make a tackle
sitting on the bench i thought of words to rhyme with castle
had to learn to use my brain due my lack of brawn
so i practiced writing lines until the crack of dawn
now the track that i’m on pits pen against sword
where similes and metaphors are all i need to score
i’ve been playing this game for years and a victory is overdue
so i chuck nouns for touchdowns get eight when i go for two
[hook]
[verse 2: brain rapp]
instead of doing drills and practicing plays
i was working on my sk!lls, head trapped in a maze
cause it had always been my dream to be on a team
and become the star that everyone would see gleam
but it wasn’t in my reach so i turned in the cleats
i traded in my jersey for these words and some beats
i swapped the mouth guards, exchanged the jock strap
for a chance to spout bars and flaming hot raps
no leather letterman’s, playing games i’ll never win
hip-hoping over hurdles now on tracks i get it in
wasn’t built for catching p-sses, running in end zones
had to put on these gl-sses and get in that pen zone
i write offensive lines that can stop the hardest of rushes
when i do with words what artists do with brushes
i’ve been playing this game for years and a victory is overdue
so i chuck nouns for touchdowns get eight when i go for two
[hook]
