To be a champ you have to believe in yourself when no one else will.

It just meant a lot because it's something I've always wanted to do. I've always wanted to be a Senior National Champ. I was Junior National Champ in 2002, so now to be the senior champ is great.

The Boxer
His pressure was mounting
along with his weight.
He got into training
a little bit late.
In the grey light of morning
He'd be seen on the street.
sweating it out
on sneaker clad feet.
He sparred with his partners.
with few in the stands.
Then pummel the light bag
with lightening fast hands.
The fight date was approaching
and no one in the State
gave him much of a chance
of escaping his fate.
The champ was unbeaten.
He ground his foes down.
They'd be down, looking up
at the Champ looking down.
How then to cope
with an unbeatable foe?
This cup would not pass
even if he wished it so.
He was not getting younger,
This was his last shot.
Would he be one more challenger
that history forgot?
He was no timid soul,
avoiding the chance.
He'd go down swinging.
No regrets, he would dance.
He stepped into the ring
and they stood toe to toe
They touched gloved hands together
When the bell rings, you go.

Poetry Misses Me
Just last night I got a call
It was poetry saying please come home
I replied back that I am retired and done
It said please, please come back
I miss my king
I miss my champ
I miss my poet that flows like the ocean
I said I would come back but it would take one thing
To have this poem published and live my richest dreams
Poetry replied back
Poetry said give me 3 days and you will be the kings of kings
Now look at us now me and poetry back at it again
Can’t anything stand in our way no man, no woman, and no thing
Take my poem to the heart and realize me and poetry are one
That this is my destiny to be the king of kings
The champ of champs

but all i remember is making out constanly

Down for the count over and out toss in the
towel cause she really got the best of me i can't
hang around get kicked while im down what

the call from me to tell her that im sorry i can
come back if i crawl, but i got bad knees and i

(chorus)
[7, 8, 9, 10, knock out]
it seems like you told im in over my head
but all i remember is making out constanly
if i don't get out then i'll probally end up dead
she the undisputed champ of my world,
undisputed champ of my world and im beggin
to be down for the count over and out toss
in the towel cause she really got the best of
me I can't hang around get kicked while im
down what was that sound I wish the effi'n bell
would ring.

Jump through the window

Rencontre
Passant mêle à ta vie l'orgueil et la bonté
Surmonte l'ennemi et bois à sa santé
Honore ton outil sans le laisser inerte
Brise-le par amour au moment de ta perte
Et méprise ceci Jouir sans en pleurer
La vigne sans ivresse et le champ sans ivraie

The Rye & The Kaiser
[parody of eye of the tiger by survivor]
Fat and weak, what a disgrace.
Guess the champ got too lazy.
Aint gonna fly now, hes just takin up space.
Sold his gloves, threw his eggs down the drain.
But hes no bum, he lives down the street.
He bought the neighborhood deli.
Back on his feet, now hes choppin up meat.
Come inside, maybe youll hear him say,
Try the rye or the kaiser,
Theyre on special tonight.
Let me please be your catering advisor.
If you want substitutions,
I wont put up a fight.
You can have your roast beef on the rye or the kaiser.

Good To Me
Got an 84 ford to get me home
I get in, start up, and go
it's not a vintage cadillac
but it'll always get me there and back
Always be...Good to me
Always be...Good to me
Always be...Good to meeeee
I got a beat up cruddy amp
I plug it in and it sounds like a champ
It's not a Fender Tweed Deluxe
It only cost me a couple of bucks
And it'll...always sound...good to me.
...always sound...good to me...
always sound...good to me...
...always sound...good to meee.
I got a girl and she's so true
no other kinda girl will do
she's not like the girls from the past
And I knew none of them would last
always be good to me(x7)

Wear My Self
Born a beauty
A stop ahead market crowds
A dear to candy stores and painters
Then I got the curves
Life behind is much
Masks are up and neat
They flirt me help me on need
Eyes are priced
Smiles legs and soul
Yet never gathered
Never one
Any bad a brother a husband even a dad
Are receivers of fruits
When rich they win
When poor they are shy and helpless
Steeling a lady is no sin
Just tell her sweet oh sweet you are the best
Then pay back a help in kitchen
Or a model champ one minute one day
The love I have to find
Troubles are to find me
My job is tough
Their job is easy
Am I attractive
Do you want to be me?

back nine relentless charge
collared prestigious green jacket
for the third time in his carrer
resurrection of american golf
that's what sports needed most
tigers ups and downs not enough
to stitch torn fabric of confidence
kims unbelievable seven under
makes anybody to say 'if-ever'
lee hangs on fringes of green
there's always something to gain

No Price: Prize Fighter
He once bellowed I am the greatest from the ring.
In a musical titled “Buck White” he did sing.
And as much as he loved being boxing heavy weight champ and adored by all.
For no price would this prize fighter take a fall.
They wanted him to renounce his religion and pick up a gun.
But our champion said no to the war in Vietnam.
Now, although they stripped him of his title and all his funds;
He still stood tall and said I got no problem with any Viet-con.
All he had to do was to say yes to fighting exhibition matches for war;
And his problem would no more.
But there was no price for this great prize fighter.
For standing up for his beliefs and willing to give up all he had at that time Muhammad Ali will always be “The Greatest” to me.
