To "Heart of a Champion"
Spent days amazed at how the game is played
Competitors slayed, debts left unpaid
Well, today, is my day to conquer the game
And leave everyones feeble chances slain
Tearing through show downs
Combinations unbeatable
Stoic movements turn to slow frowns
As I unseated dudes
Finals approach, nerves explode
Saliva disappears, stomach acid corrodes
Dealt my two hopes, its my only shot
Will my luck carry, or literally flop?
Everyone's equal, chances to win the same
4th street comes... throwing a wrench in the game
The river is coming with everyone in the same boat
A full one at that, I'm beginning to lose hope
We reach the river, I believe my chances are blown
I'll go... all in... after realizing my ace in the hole
And when its shown.... and they see what I had...
My royal flush... proved I had the "Heart" of a champ
