"Hack a Shaq" -- A Chinese Rap-sody
by Tom Snyder

Day 5 Shaqtacular Journal | Introduction to Exchange

Hack a Shaq, hack a Shaq, hack a Shaq, hack a Shaq!

When the Big Aristotle
Takes a shot, "You tend to waddle."
But in China, all that's featured
Are your 22-size sneakers!

Hack a Shaq, hack a Shaq, hack a Shaq, hack a Shaq!

Though you often lead in scoring
And your rebound number's soaring,
What we Chinese often see
Are all your famous rap CDs.
"I love hip hop to death!"

Hack a Shaq, hack a Shaq, hack a Shaq, hack a Shaq!

From Cole High to LSU,
Then onto Magic, L.A. too,
And from the "Dream Team", gold did fall,
Your fame had grown like our Great Wall!

Hack a Shaq, hack a Shaq, hack a Shaq, hack a Shaq!

Like Taahirah and Shareef,
We all hold true this one belief,
"This world is better," we all holler,
"Cause you're in it!"

"Ah, could you please stand up a little taller?"

Hack a Shaq!

"Excellence is not a singular act, but a habit."

Shaq!
