Sports.

Aww shit, you throw like a girl.
This is another home-run for hiphop.

Jeremy's picked on in school. He's not a walking billboard.
Name brand's authority, popularity's still lord.
Who wouldn't kill for a few friends as opposed to nill?
Organized sports, they're supposed to build social skills.
But he's not one of the better players on the hockey team.
His team mates and even the coaches can be awfully mean.
Nicknaming him pylon, and other not so subtle hints.
The designated bench warmer, the other kids get double shifts.
The trouble is: Sports are thought to build confidence.
He's only confident, that he's incompetent.
It cost him self respect and that's the opposite effect,
than the one that was desired, and now we talk of his descent.
It's just a game and every game has its losers.
A little less defeating being defeated by computers.
So it isn't a wonder, his friends are fictional plumbers.
Mario and Luigi, they're unconditional lovers.

Give me a ___. ____. You got your ___, you got your ___.
Give me a break.

Jeremy's father's not allowed on the premises.
the referee, his nemesis, took offence to his sentences.
Apparently, uttering death threats is unlawful.
He loves the game more than his son because he's awful.
His children's only available male, a role model,
sneaks a mickey of Rye into the stands and drinks the whole bottle,
after offering to drive home some of the other kids,
while their parents speculate as to where Jeremy's mother is.
And what kind of person could fall in love with this asshole?
How'd he stay out of jail? Who the hell let him pass "Go"?
Strike your kid again dad, you're still a scab,
Crossed the line lots of times, but act like you never have.
Encouraging violence, this is how we teach war.
We teach capitalist competition when we keep score.
You wonder why your kid's so competitive, why he picks on his relatives,
why he throws fists? notice that it's repetitive.

Give me a ___. ____. You got your ___, you got your ___.
And what does that spell? You know, that Factor G shit.
He hits you full of mystical, you can't believe it.

<And my fuckin kids will play two sports a piece>
Give me a ___. ____. You got your ___, you got your ___.
Give me a Chaps. Chaps.
