"Splash!!!"

I wake Frustrated on 2day...Not wanting 2 Do What I've Always Done.

That is Starting My Mornings Wet Under This Now Cool Miami, Florida Sun.

Everyday it's Tha Same Routine, A Dip in Tha AM...Perhaps Tha only Moments of Daily Fun.

But 2day There's a Sense of Whatever...Everytime I go, I'm Seemingly always Tha Only One.

Have To Grab my Bag and Head Out Again, Perhaps But I doubt it, today may be Tha Day.

I got So many Sponsors, So Many People Looking at Me...Like I'm Janet Evans From Back in Tha Day.

Herschel Backpacks lying all over Tha Place, Which One Should I grab...So much Money 2 Me They Pay.

If I told Them I don't wanna Do This Anymore, they Probably Sue Me...Then I'll really Have All Heck To Pay.

Just Last Night I Signed a Few More Contracts...My Galaxia Team is becoming A Who's Who of Every Famous Fashion House.

Don't think Anybody in This Sport has Been at That Level I'm at...Although That 2008 Beijing Team, was Pretty Close, As Famous As That Orlando Based Mouse.

YSL and Tom Ford now are Tha Goggles that I use, 2 Keep tha Water Out my Eyes...There's Gonna Be Haters Thinking I don't Care About Tha Sport, I Just use My Talent 2 Floss.

Versace Does my Swimsuits, Dontella is like Family, and Knows All Tha Hot Gurls...2 Chainz Hooked me With COMME des GARÇONS too...If Tha 'Feds Watching' it'll be easy 2 See Who's Boss.

That was All Last Night, yet today I don't wanna Fulfill all these Obligations...I'm Tired of Doing This But Never Having Brought Home Gold.

After Years of Sacrifice, Eating Right, Giving Your Sunday 10%, U just Wondered If It's all Gonna Be Worth it...Or Is This Gonna be a Controversial Ending...Like Tha Sopranos and just Fold.

Everybody Looks at me, and I feel like I'm A Superstar of Such...I just Got a New Look for Tha Season and Many Gurls Treat me like Tha New Guy on Tha Soap The Beautiful and Tha Bold.

But it's not about Chicks...But Then it is I guess...Since a Kid I've been doing this Sport, but I've never had time for Luv or a Relationship...Always Wanting A Kid 2 One day Say, 'Dude, He's So Cold!'

My Coach is Waiting for Me, and I promise I only Got one more Practice in Me...If I don't Feel like I'm gonna Win, then I'm Simply Gonna Quit.

Nobody else I know Has Such a Positive Attitude, Such a Zen for Success...I'm at Home Watching Reruns of Rick Steves Europe on Saturday Nights, While they're Poppin' Bottles with Ricky Rosay and Hotties in Tight Moschino Fits.

I'm Waking up Losing another Freestyle and They're Waking up 2 Unbutton Bras and Panties...It's Great 2 Know Tha Year Tha Leaning Tower of Pisa was Built but I want That Latina Vixen I see in Tha Videos of Mr. Worldwide...That's No Bull Pit.

This Dude I'm Working with Now Always tells Me That it's Gonna Work out I've Trained With Tha Best...Always Telling Me Stories Bout Mark Spitz...That was Back in '72, I don't Think Richard Pryor Had Even Begun 2 Show His Wit.

Got My Bag and Off we go...I wish I was in California right now, a Change Of Scenery Can Do your Training Some Good.

But...I get to Walk to Tha Pool Here in South Beach, many around Tha World Would say I'm Spoiled...Tha Palm Trees, Tha Ocean Breeze, Tha Beauties That Make Ur Tree Go On Xtra Wood.

I'm at This Stoplight Right Now with So Many Memories...Right over There at That Park Bench this Guy wanted To Hit on Me...I like George Michael and Frank Ocean but I'm not into Lollipop Food.

I had to Ditch Homedude all Tha Way Down Jefferson Avenue, like I was Playing A Real Life Game of Pac-Man...As Soon as I heard that 'Eurker-Eurker-Eurker-Eurker' Sound, I knew That He was Close and Had To Concentrate on My Inner Joystick Pull!

Here we are at my spot...Yeah it may not Look Luxurious like Tha Home of Tha Cali Golden Bears, but It's just like how I like my dates...I can do what I want, It gets Me Wet, and More importantly...It's Cheap.

Nobody Is ever out here Which is Sometimes Good but recently Feels Bad, just You And a Jukebox Doesn't Get u Pump up Feeling like Rio 2016 Begins Next Week.

Then my Coach is Always Playing Luther Vandross, Lionel Richie...Tha Day he started Playing Romeo Santos...OMG! Every Sexy Gurl from Miami was Out here...Since Then I told Him 2 Leave That on Repeat.

It's what we do out here...It Sets Tha Mood For What We're Trying To Accomplish...Over Tha Seasons I've learned Tha Hard Way, That What I Want is Truly No Easy Feat.

Just walk up These Stairs and Welcome 2 My Lair...My Coach is Over There with Tha Red Nike Track Suit On...He Only wears Red...Sometimes Toss on Some Pink...Told me He'll Only wear Black at Tha Retirement Party of Dear Abby.

Kinda Handsome Guy...Just look at him Flirting With Some Lifeguards Walking By...Tough to Miss Him Though When on Tha Back of Your Jacket u Got Tha Letters...C-U-P-I-D.

Looks Like He's Trying to Clean Tha Pool, They don't pay for Maintenance Around Here So Big C does His Best, especially After a Saturday Nite of High School Kids Having a Party.

These Kids Nowadays get wild Mixing All These Bill Nye Tha Science Guy Chemicals...When I was in School we Smoked Stuff that Didn't Make u Skip School...Just Make u A Few Minutes Tardy.

Hey Big C!!! Wild Night Last Night Huh?!! He always gets Mad at Me For Picking at His Cleaning...He if U Wanna Be Tha Boss U Gotta Pay Tha Cost.

Let me Put Down My Bag...Unzip...Let's See...I think I'll go with Tha Yellow Swim Brief on today...Blue is Tha Color of Tha Season but I need A Pick Me Up...Cuz I feel Kinda Lost.

Take off My Shirt...I gotta Work on My Abs just a Little More...It's Important in This Sport...People Say it Doesn't Matter, But When U Compete in South Beach, An Unfit Body can Earn U a Loss.

It's not Fair but When ur Sleeping with Julius Caesar One Must Do what Caesar Wants...Right Now I'm in a Mindset of Doing Whatever it Takes...I still Waiting For My 1st Win...Or My Karlie Kloss.

We going YSL on Tha Face, Don't wanna Look too Hollywood...I like Walking Around Barefoot...Just How I like To feel before I jump in.

One thing I like To Do is Toss Rose Pedals into Tha Pool...Whenever I do This, like I am Right Now...Big C just Gives Me Tha Most Distasteful Look, like 'Why Are You Doing at his Again?'

Listening I'm a Romantic and It's no Different When I play This For Sport I'm want 2 Be Tha Most Comfortable we can be So we Can Supply a Win.

Seal once Said its Nuthing like a 'Kiss From a Rose'...So I've Fell in Luv with Rose Pedals...It must work cuz Lately on Pinterest My Pool Routine Has Gotten Tha Most Pins.

Alright That's Enough...Just set this Down...Ah...We going to Tha Deep End Today...Tha Shallow End is For Amateurs...Although I should Go 2 Tha Basics Back.

I always Want Tha Most Beautiful...Tha One Who's Backstroke is as Sexy as Her Breaststroke...Looking for Luv's Version of Missy Franklin knowing With Her Tha Odds are Always Stacked.

Ok, before I jump in I like To Do My little Shake of My Arms...Legs and Neck...Michael Phelps actually Stole some of His Routine From Me...Sounds like a Lotta These New Cats out here in Rap.

But He's Won Gold, and ForbSome reason I'm waiting 2 Hit Tha Podium...So Wishing I could Get to Spring Organic...So Fed Up Drinking Outta This Well Soooooo Totally Tap.

(Splash!)

Just Move Your Arms...Kick your Feet...Come On...Faster...Faster...Faster...You ain't Got it yet...Harder...Harder...In This Pool You're Willing To Die.

C'mon Austino...Push...Push...Where's Tha Wall? Where's Tha Freakin' Wall? There it is...And...(Smack!)...And Turn...Relax...Relax...And Three...Four...Five.

And Kick!!! They Keep Counting You Out...Push!...That Gurl Rather Be with Him Than You...Push!...Where's Your Gold Huh?? Where is it?!!! Getting a 'F' after Every Single Try.

Do u Want it Bad Enough?...Do u Want Her Bad Enough?...Almost There...Bloody Push!...Push!!...Push!!! Everybody Else has One...Yet u Have To Wait and Cry.

C'mon...Faster!...Faster! And You're Should Hit Tha Wall in Five...Four...Three...Two...(Smack!)...And One.

Gulp! Gulp! Huff! Huff!...Mutha...Dang-It!! It just Doesn't Seem Good Enough...Whatever I do Doesn't Seem Good Enough...I think I'm Done.

"Now Hold on a Tad There Son. Relax...Relax...Now You're Giving Your Best and I know Ur Not seeing Tha Results but Just Be Patient and You'll get Tha Gold. I can tell u Tha Feeling is Beyond Fun."

I know Big C, but U've Seen Tha Work that I've Put In...How I've Honored Tha Game, How Come Other People Put in Less, and Get more...Yes I got all These Sponsors but I Want Tha Mustard on Tha Buns.

I put out Rose Pedals No One Comes...I keep a Diary on Derek Jeter's Player's Tribune Website, That Only makes me More Weird...When Can All This Work and Sacrifice Pay Off Big C, like it did For You and Spitz in '72?

"Galaxia, let me tell you...Tha First Step into This Pool Success begins With a Single Dip...After That Tha Perfection of It Comes When Tha Time is Due.

I know I see All These SI Swimsuit Models Walking around while Ur Hear...Gurls with Bodies of Porn Stars...But Tha Thought of Nobody Willing 2 Jump in, is What Has Gotten 2 You.

All These Practice Sessions Has Not Gone For Naught...You've Perfected Your Stroke...No Pun Intended...Learned More About These Deep Waters That Can Literally Feel So Blue.

I'm gonna Say this Cuz I've Already taught u Everything I know...Your Era is Coming and Soon This Pool will Be Filled To Capacity...Remember Tha Motto..."

I know...I know...Now She Want a Photo...You Already Know Though...You Only Live Once...That's Tha Motto...YOLO!

"Like Noooo...I knew I Shouldn't have Put That Drake and Lil Wayne Song on That Mixtape I made For You...Oh Boy...Our Motto is Live Each Day As if You Already Have It. That Brings You Gold Metal Glow.

It's been Hard, Especially Working with Me but I Wanted Tha Practices To be Super Hard, So That When That Gold Medal Heat Comes, U'll Be Ready...And Your Mind, Body and Soul Will Just Flow.

Speaking of Which I gotta Go."

Ok Big C...He's a Busy Man...Live As If You Already Have it...I need 2 Stop being Worried About What My Competitors are Doing...I know I'm Ready, It a Feels Like Forever But Soon it'll Be My Time.

Yeah Dark May a Seem at Tha Clouds, and You a Wonder What More Does One Have 2Go Through...It Ain't about Tha Money, Sponsorships Or Tha Kors Watch that Always Shines.

I wanna Win So Bad...Mostly for Me...Partly To Prove to All Who Passed up on Me, That They Made a HUGE Mistake Leaving me 2 Fill like an Outcast like Muhammad Ali in 1969.

But Right Here is Where I've worked on Every Facet of My Craft...Learning Freestyle, How And Where to Place Your Arms and Hands...Understanding Tha Body, Where it Tickles...And Where Tha G-Spot is Aligned.

There's No Doubt That Something Special is Occurring Right Here...Right Now...Something Truly Sent From Above.

As I Rise up to Take Another Dip, I Can See a Light Shining Ever So Bright With Tha OnlynThing Missing is a Heavenly Voice and A Soft Landing on Tha Shoulder By A Dove.

This Has Been My Home For So Long Now...Whenever I felt Lonely...Felt like Giving Up, It Was Here Where I would Come...With Big C's Words Stirring Excitement Like A Stripper When It Begins 2 Rain Six Dubs.

I'm Gonna Win Gold...And My Dream Come True Will Know That She Truly Has Tha Best There Ever Was...Yes, I'm Tha Ultimate Muse For Fun...

But 2day, I let U in On A Secret...My Journey Always Begins and Ends Right Here...

In My Pool Of...Luv.

Luv Always.

Austin.
