Sonata in D Major, K.2026: "We Heard It, We Liked It"
Composed upon the Occasion of IShowSpeed's "Champions (World Cup)" being Selected for the Official FIFA 2026 World Cup Album
For Harpsichord, Basso Continuo, and Soprano Voice
[Verse]
Attend ye courts of music, hear this proclamation true,
IShowSpeed hath fashioned an anthem bold and new,
Forty million witnesses did bow before the throne,
"Champions!" rang the title — he could claim it as his own.
[Pre-Chorus]
Two days hence the Federation read the scroll,
And wrote their solemn judgment for the ages to extol:
[Chorus]
"We heard it — we liked it!"
Thus FIFA did decree!
"We heard it — we liked it!"
Five words for all eternity!
[Verse]
And Speed, upon receiving news of this most blessed selection,
Did execute a backflip — purest form of court expression,
For what more noble gesture could a champion bestow,
Than to somersault with joy before all nations' glow?
[Chorus]
"We heard it — we liked it!"
Thus FIFA did decree!
"We heard it — we liked it!"
Inscribed in history!
