Lance Edward Armstrong, born Lance Edward Gunderson, is a former American road-racing cyclist who had won the Tour de France 7 consecutive times between 1999 and 2005. In 2012, Lance was retroactively disqualified from all these races, had to give back his medals, and was banned from cycling by the United States Anti-Doping Agency because of his use of doping, which he confessed to [[Oprah Winfrey]] in January 2013. He is also known for surviving cancer, being diagnosed with testicular cancer in 1996, which quickly spread to his lungs and brain; after a series of operations and treatments, he was declared cancer-free in 1997. In the same year, he founded the Lance Armstrong Foundation, which gives support to cancer patients. Lance was chairman of the foundation until his resignation in 2012 as a result of the doping scandal, and the foundation changed its name to the Livestrong Foundation.

Lyrics

Verse 1:

Before I let loose with this ruthless aggression,

I'll let you be the second fat woman hearing my confession!

I admit it: I did what I had to do to win.

I'm an athlete. You're a specimen of sin!

With your drinking and smoking and choking down food,

I know French dudes with better manners than you!

So swing, batter, batter! Show me what a fatter rapper can do!

I beat cancer! I can sure as hell crack you!

Verse 2:

You set records before black men could compete; are you kidding me?

That's like having a pasta contest without Italy!

You're an orphan who found his way to fortune and fame.

Just think what you could've done if you would've actually trained!

I'm the pinnacle of physical condition,

While you dip your stick in prostitutes and call it foul tippin'; are you trippin'?

You'll be nothing but a skeleton, messing with the fellow in yellow

Who will be pedaling like hell up in the peloton!
