Uptown Game Prep

Game Day Snacks poem

By Midnight McNightPublished 5 years ago 2 min read

Oh yeah, it’s game day

Balling out since day 1

Never halt or fall, I will stand tall

Touchdown’s for the team, this the whole regime

In Tampa, I’m in town counting bucks now

They say they don’t wanna see us win, but I get that

Get my stats up, I’ll go get these racks up

Hating a*s, check the numbers ‘cause we’ve been that

Can’t stack up to us since we’ve passed, 'cause

I’m a different type of breed when I’m in the zone

Out on the field or I’m back at home

They call me the chief, got my pack with me

I’m in KC with them Roos, shoutout Jack too

When I’m in the field, I’m in the mood, no swinging

More trucking through these fools ‘cause I know they’re weaken

I’m performing half the time this weekend

Flip quarters at a time, it’s a sequence

Got the snack bar ready, food and refreshments

Most of us pre-game, right before we see plays

Family comes through, huh? Apartment full like PJs

But, it’s all love and my heart's content

So, turn on the T.V. ‘cause it’s about to begin

Got drinks, recreations, chicken and chips

You know it’s lit and we’ve been waiting on it since the get-go

It’s Game Day, C and Bs at the Super Bowl

Got the fondue cooking in the background

Serve with alignment of food like a snack round

Security at my door, giving pat downs

Even Dwayne smelling all this heat, it’s a smackdown

Serving with the pre-game quarterback

No kids allowed in the garage, got the party pack

My grown folks got the recreation and liquor

My young ones’ playing board games and taking pictures

Alignment of people waiting for food to serve

Got my cousins in the kitchen, whipping the works

When they say, “It’s food time,” go and get your serving

Everything on my plate, long as it is worth it

Chicken, mashed potatoes, can’t forget the mac and cheese

But for now, we eating hors d'oeuvres like it’s luxury

Until the game’s on, we’ll just kick it now

Eating special brownies, let’s see who's uptown
