CHALLENGER'S RAP

• I got a reputation
• So solid that even the gossiping grandmas in the neighborhood stopped knitting just to join in the conversation
• About my unshakable status, backed by education
• That I earned after staying up all night on coffee, Red Bull, and sheer stubbornness, my destination
• Is so far off the map that Google can't even find it, and I'm cruising there on a train powered by my unyielding dedication
• Fueled by the dreams of a kid who watched too many motivational videos on repeat with no medication
• Needed because who needs sleep when you've got ambition keeping you awake like a caffeine IV drip, hesitation
• Isn't in my vocabulary, unless we're talking about when I paused for a full minute at the buffet because the options were endless, and I needed an explanation
• For why the desserts looked so good yet so dangerous, leading to a deep meditation
• In front of the cheesecake that had me questioning all my life choices up to that point, felt the devastation
• Of missing out on Taco Tuesday, but you know what? I turned it into a celebration
• By cooking up a feast at home that had the neighbors banging on the door just to get a whiff, lifting me to a new elevation
• Like the feeling you get when you finally find Wi-Fi in a dead zone—truly a revelation
• That left me questioning how we ever survived without it, breaking down barriers like a wrecking ball on a sugar rush, smashing through any segregation
• Like a kid demolishing a LEGO wall, with the kind of penetration
• That only comes from years of watching action movies and thinking, “Yeah, I could totally do that,” before realizing in demonstration
• That it’s harder than it looks on screen, so now I’m content with just crushing it in the rap game like a verbal ninja in a presentation
• That leaves people more impressed than a surprise pop quiz that everyone thought they failed, my exclamation
• Point is as loud as an alarm clock at 5 a.m., but unlike that dreaded sound, my words bring more cheers than desolation
• And instead of feeling the emptiness of a fridge right before grocery day, I’m on a high from the deprivation
• Of social media detox, don’t worry, I came back just in time for the next viral cat video, which was like a mental detonation
• That blasted away all serious thoughts for a good five minutes, no resignation
• Here, just a refusal to quit like that one stubborn stain on your favorite shirt that won’t budge, despite wild speculation
• That it could be removed with a concoction straight out of a science lab, but honestly, it just needed some fresh air, or as I call it, mental ventilation
