He laced ’em up at crack of dawn
While others yawned, he skated on
No prep school name, no sponsor bag
Just busted wheels and hand-me-down swag
Double A, yeah that’s the tier
Where dreams go die? Not over here
He toe-dragged kids into the dust
Snapped twigs, broke ankles, left ’em crushed
The scouts said nah, he said bet
They watched one shift, now they regret
He made that draft board eat its words
While coaches whispered he’s absurd
Now he’s OHL, prime-time ice
Still taping sticks and paying price
From loser rooms to locker fame
The AA kid just changed the game
And listen up, I’ll spit one truth
He wasn’t even best in youth
The real one chopped like deli meat
Weiner should’ve had that draft seat
That’s beautiful!
