Little Feet

The problem with modern sports

Really, any idol industry

Is that every team wants the next superstar

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard

“The next Messi” or “The (nationality)-Messi”

Only for them to turn out as duds

Because, the thing about forcing stardom

Is that everyone can feel it

It’s artificial, no real substance behind the name

Random kids with undefined potential

Are fed stories to pump up their egos

So they start acting like the shit

When they haven’t even started eating solid food

Hoping one day they’ll grow into their giant shoes

But then wonder why they look so clumsy

Running in a giant’s shoes with such little feet
