The Field General


Growing Up from Oriental displacement,

The American Dream became a long journey.

Being the eldest of Three,

Made me became the Tree.

Playing Sports differenciate me from the rest.

From Pig-Skin to Hardcourt floor, I became the best.

Growing Up in the South,

The Sterotypes is Surreal.

Causing me to hang up my cleats and put away my bat,

and made me become a gym-rat.

Instead of dreaming about cash, I am building a Six-pack.
