We are athletes
You may think of us as stuck up
Brats who play for the money
not the love of the game.

We are athletes
We fear the media as criminals
fear the police
And we expect everyone to love
us know matter how we play.

We are athletes
Who's equipment is smelly
enough to knock a man off of his feet.
Yet we are too lazy to clean it
so we let someone else do everything for us.

We are athletes
Who think we are
Great enough to be compared to
the Greek gods.
Yet we are afraid to get our jerseys dirty
because we want to look good for the ladies.

We are athletes
A stereotype of us is that
we blame others for our mistakes.
If you really knew us you would know that
we are just hardworking people trying to
make it to the next level.
