Football Poet - Karim Benzema Song Lyrics

Génération '87, a diamond in the rough
Bron's backyard to Bernabéu, times were tough
Not just pace and power, but a chess grandmaster
Reading the game, none was faster
The number nine, a striker so fine
His touch of silk, his finish divine
From "Coco" to King, he climbed every rung
Now a Madrid legend, his praises are sung
King Karim, Benzegoal, the fox in the box
Slick as silk, strong as an ox
KB9, KB9, storm on the pitch
Turning half-chances to goals with a twitch
BBC trio, he played his part
Now a solo artist, ruling the art
Pichichi winner, top of the pile
Breaking records with Gallic style
Ballon d'Or shining, recognition at last
Silencing critics of the past
Al-Ittihad's coup, Saudi's new star
From Europe to Asia, raising the bar
De l'équipe de France, il est le phénix
Retour triomphal, comme dans les comics
La Ligue des Nations, il l'a ramenée
Son talent brillant, enfin couronné
Son jeu fluide, vraiment incroyable
La classe à l'état pur, c'est irréfutable
King Karim, Benzegoal, the fox in the box
Slick as silk, strong as an ox
KB9, KB9, storm on the pitch
Turning half-chances to goals with a twitch
