[Intro: Cackling Tampa male MC, laughing already] Watch the beam Watch the pit Watch me ruin the speech a bit [Verse 1: Cackling Tampa male MC, grinning through every line] Parents in a row with their arms tightly crossed Kid on the beam looking ready to be lost I start the speech about ankles and care Then I lean too far and I vanish in air Foam eats my whistle and half of my pride Kid snorts a laugh she was trying to hide I climb back out with a pit in my hair Safety still matters but fear got a scare [Pre-Chorus: Cackling Tampa male MC, mock serious] Safety speech ready with a straight little face Then gravity edits the whole thing in place [Chorus: Cackling Tampa male MC, shouted, full chest] Trust the foam, I fall so you try Gravity jokes and a soft little sky Beam is still honest and so is the mat Trust the foam, I fall so you try [Verse 2: Cackling Tampa male MC, foam whoosh, the pit swallows him on a silent bar, then drums burst as the kid finally steps up] Whoosh and the room holds a comical breath Then the drums kick in at the edge of the mess She puts one foot where her doubt used to stand Parents unfreeze and they clap with their hands I spit out a square of blue pit from my mouth Coach of the year going south then south But the beam got a taker and the fear got small Best dumb idea I have staged in this hall [Chorus: Cackling Tampa male MC, shouted, full chest] Trust the foam, I fall so you try Gravity jokes and a soft little sky Beam is still honest and so is the mat Trust the foam, I fall so you try [Bridge: Cackling Tampa male MC, counting falls] One for the speech and two for the flop Three for the laugh that refused to stop Four for the step that she took on her own Five for the foam that feels like a throne [Verse 3: Cackling Tampa male MC, warmer, still loud] I still teach the braces and the eyes on the line I still make them drill till the landings look fine But when a kid freezes I know the old trick Lose the stiff lecture and fall for the kick Pit keeps my secret and the gym keeps the tale Coach who got swallowed so a rookie could sail Trust means more than the poster they framed Trust means I look like a fool and she aimed [Chorus: Cackling Tampa male MC, shouted, full chest] Trust the foam, I fall so you try Gravity jokes and a soft little sky Beam is still honest and so is the mat Trust the foam, I fall so you try [Outro: Cackling Tampa male MC, loud, the last foam whoosh rings out and fades] Trust the foam I fall So you try [End]
