Throw it back for the big hitter
I bury the head deep like a grave digger
It’s a handful about to grow bigger
Once I get my digits on your ‘8’ figure
Earn your stripes, bounce on it like Tigger
Feel it yank your tummy, no Hilfiger
When I beat it, it’s going to be a thriller
Like Ali versus Frazier in Manila
Leave you punch-drunk without liquor
Go ape for the banana like a gorilla
King-sized like Kong and Godzilla
Don’t DIY, I brought my power driller
Santa’s here with your stocking filler
Empty the sack while you gulp vanilla
No veg, you’re having meat for dinner
I’ll butcher the kitty, call me pet killer
Play ball with me, you be the pitcher
And throw it back for the big hitter!
K.G. says…
This is just a playful and cheeky piece that was very fun to write. I wanted it to read and sound like a rap, without a structured rhyming scheme [half rhymes in truth]. The use of plain English and everyday speech gave me freedom to play with words and throw in lots of popular culture references.
I also wanted it to be very suggestive without expressly mentioning the subject. Although I’m sure you quickly worked out what it’s really about! [Hint: it’s not baseball]
