Sporting Goods Lyrics by Brain Rapp

More Than I Am

2012

[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 skills, 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 passes, running in end zones
Had to put on these glasses 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]
