This was inspired by a picture I saw online of the "Thresh Prince of District 11". For some reason the verses don't separate, sorry guys.


Well, this is a story all about how my life got flipped, turned upside-down,

I'd like to take a minute, now this ain't heaven,

I'll tell you how I was chosen for District 11.

In District 11, born and raised,

In the fields was where I spent most of my days.

Working hard, gathering, harvesting goods,

Sending food to neighbouring 'hoods.

Then some Capitol guys started picking tributes,

I was chosen and so was a girl called Rue.

They reached in the ball and called our names,

We're going to the 74th Hunger Games.

At the training centre, I made it clear,

I wasn't gonna work with the Careers.

In my interview, I was blunt with Caesar,

I lived in a field when I was in the arena.

I killed Clove, then Cato killed me too,

My eyes were put in a Mutt, and so were Rue's.

Well, that was my story, I said it weren't heaven,

When I was chosen for District 11.
