Carter and them play too much
said they were going to put me on the squad
but when it came time for first round picks
they acted like they didn't even know me
started talking all loud about how friends
stick together and look out for each other
even went so far as to say
only their family-like friends
would make the squad this year
four more people were picked
I'm still holding up a wall
trying to be cool...but inside I was mad
only one more pick...forget it...
they called Peanut...can you believe that?
Peanut got picked over me...whatever
ok then, I'm out...picked up my bag
and headed for the door...
then Carter yelled "Slow Poke"
Hah! That's what family call me
"Get over here, he said...we voted you Captain"
Captain! Wow...good thing I didn't leave
