The Syndicate

Welcome to Florida, I hope I haven't bored ya
But for someone so indigenous, you're awfully oblivious
To these rhymes I'm laying down- my adjectives, verbs, and nouns
It's the art of the word, mightier than the sword
You see I'm into language arts- so sit back while I do my part
So what's up? What's good? What's the issue?
This guy talkin' about how hard he is when in fact he's soft as Charmin toilet tissue

At that point the crowd in the rec yard laughed and called it off, and my opponent, God bless him- his name was Marwin- got called "Charmin Marwin" the rest of the school year.

But he took it in stride, was a really smart kid, and I hope he turned out okay.

I still remember the freestyle I used in battle a long time ago against a student I taught in an alternative school.

Got that kid a new nickname.

I think he respected me afterwards for it and it was all in good fun, but damn, I just don't know.
