Athlete - Intellectual

[Intro]

“Lot of people think playing sports is all about winning. Being an athlete, all about winning. That’s not the case! (Nice!) It’s about becoming something you were not before, physically, mentally. Pushing yourself! Doing things you could not do! Striving to be better! And just having fun. That's what's up! Alright, hold up…”

[Chorus 1]

Yeah I did that

Yeah it was me, I mean

Yeah it was us

Yeah we the team

Thriving competitively

Living the dream

Much as it seems

Rabbit like Cream

Yeah I did that

Yeah it was me, I mean

Yeah it was us

Yeah we the team

Thriving competitively

Living the dream

Much as it seems

Rabbit like Cream

[Verse 1]

I got an Xbox just because everyone else had it

But the only games I play on there are 2K and Madden

And I only play after my workouts, dang nabbit

Every quarter I take another muscle supplement

I’m loving it, bud up bah bah bah no

Since my cash flow is infinite, I watch what’s in my throat

I eat vegan, gluten free, non-gm-whatever

And I’ll beat you up if you call me soft, white cheddar

My tan lines ban time since they last forever

Since the sun’s in my skin since I shine like I’m the header

The top, the champ, the big number one

If you’re not convinced by now, I’m done

[Chorus 2]

Yeah I said that

Yeah it was me

Yeah it was I

Yeah it was we

Cmon, I carried y’all, but

Yeah, we the team

I heard you called me arrogant

Tarnation you mean?

Yeah I said that

Yeah it was me

Yeah it was I

Yeah it was we

Cmon, I carried y’all, but

Yeah, we the team

I heard you called me arrogant

Tarnation you mean?

[Verse 2]

If you could feel my movements, you’d know the machine

That dominates all my opponents is quite pristine

And I don’t do drugs and I don’t ever lean

My balance in impeccable, inevitable

That I run circles around you, vegetable

You say my head’s full? How do you think your mental

Would function if you were me? Son, get on my level

And I hate to break it to you, but this is just the beginning

Your whole life I’ve been ahead and that proximity’s never ending

Because although I’ll have a lustrous collegiate run

Once I run my last race, I will not be done

By that time, I will have developed so many connections

That my chances of success will be from one to ten, eleven

And while you reminisce about hiding in my shadow for protection

Back when we were in school, I’ll be up top in heaven

Standing on a glass ceiling making massive amounts of cheddar

While you cry in your office, tears in your pocket protector

And the water from your eyes will make your pen malfunction

Ink all over your chest, paying bills from month to month

[Chorus 3]

Yeah, that’s it

That’s how it’s gotta be

Me, in the penthouse

You, on the street

Brought to you by hard work

We were once on a team

But I ran off with it

You hang your head, no scream

Yeah, that’s it

That’s how it’s gotta be

Me, in the penthouse

You, on the street

Brought to you by hard work

We were once on a team

But I ran off with it

You hang your head, no scream

[Verse 3]

So it’s clear now that I’m the domineering force

And just in case you thought my moral compass was off course

Lemme tell you about what happened when my parents got divorced

And then you’ll understand why I feel little to no remorse

Because they split up and my life got wacky

I was so very mad and all I had was the track meet

To really channel it out and make those punks stop laughing

And make them realize that I am the one who’s the biggest swag beast

I call you a loser, but it’s only because I’m an insecure moocher

I need you, all my wins were standing on the backs of others

And I gave them no credit because I was playing above, nerd

My blanket for cover, was just the insults I slung and my pumping lungs, first

Then I ran away with it, I tore the whole game apart while you all just played with it

And my third eye saw you sneering

Saw you extraordinarily reluctantly cheering

So all of these words you’re hearing?

I'm just pioneering all the fears you're fearing

[Chorus 4]

You already know

I already won

I’m up at the top

My whole race is done

But I grind all day

Make my moves in the sun

The New American Dream!

I’m the new quilt we’ve spun
