The Beginning of the End

The adrenaline feels like a super shot of meth
The smells are unlike anything, and I will never forget
As the pads go on, and the cleets tied
It's time to play football, and hit somebody until they cried

There's the kickoff
Run, baby, run!!!!
And on the first snap
The end has just begun

I hit a post route
caught the ball
Then knocked outta bounds
but thats not all

As I went down, my foot was in a hole
I heard it snap like a wooden pole
the trainer said, "It's a torn ACL"
My heart ripped outta my chest is wat I felt

That means no football
at least for nine months
what to do until then
I was wanting a hunch

I came back
still not a hundred percent
It's the beginning of the end
I get the hint

In practice running a route
my time is a slow one
I was the best of the best
now just a noone

I quit football
And now wonder why
I was a bad ass
but now I just get high

Knee hurts on occasion
but I relieve the pain
Nothing can remove it
especially when it rains

I coulda been great
Played maybe quarterback
but my hurt knee
was my number one setback
