You came into the league a young cocky 17 year old  kid with a plan

To take the league by storm and replace MJ as the man

You dropped 29 in a summer  league game before you were even able to sign your name to an NBA deal

Ready to let everyone know as the 13th pick you were an all time NBA draft steal

A couple famous air ***** ended your rookie campaign

But you had no fear and everyone's respect you were about to gain

You had ice water running through your veins your entire 20 year career

You played the game with desire and determination that every NBA defender would soon learn to fear

Your accomplishments are too long to list in this rhyme

But I will drop a few of my favorites  for the player I consider the greatest of all time

33,643 career points including 81 he  dropped on the Raptors and Jalen Rose's head

Or how about the 60 swallowed on the way out the door to make sure he  left the NBA with the Black Mamba fed

2 league scoring titles 18 time all star and 5 time NBA champ

Or my favorite 9 time first team NBA All Defensive Team because  this dude locked you down like a vice clamp

On Nov 26,2020 the world lost a legend and heaven gained an amazing man

A hole was left in so many hearts as we try to understand gods plan

Your legacy will be remembered across the world from sea to sea

Thoughts will always remain  of your amazing dunks or a  game winning step back three

You played the game I love in the purest form

Your combination work erhic,desire and competitiveness were the perfect storm

As your final 24 second  clock clicks down  to zero

Just know you left this earth as me and my daughter's hero

Stop trying to act hard before you wind up at the end of a clip

With  your blood leaving your body going drip drip drip

A Real man  doesn't try to be something that he's not

You're not Built For This and heart simply isn't something you got

So pick that pen and paper up and keep your *** in school

Put Down the strap open up a book and use your brain as your tool

These streets don't forgive and they definitely don't forget

Stop playing Gangster before a real G steps up and leaves your *** wet

Your body ligned and chalked lifeless and blue

Your momma crying on her knees as all the ***** oozes out of you

So look to the sky and thank God for this big hommie giving you a warning shot

And  listen to my words take another path for your life I just bought

Don't let me catch you slippin stay off of  the block

Or the last sound you will here is the click clack of my glock

Want more for yourself and have some self respect

Your life is not something you should ever neglect

So remember there's a guy like me on every corner of every street

So dream big and reach for the stars little  homie so you and I never have to meet

I used to make you laugh and smile each one bigger than the last

My weary eyes can no longer even see the memories through our clouded past

I look across at your beautiful face but your lips have nothing left to say

How did we get so lost that the words could no longer find their way

We used to be perfect like one of your Flawless pink and purple sunsets

Now all that is left between us is bitterness anger and regrets

I thought we would go undefeated but this time we have finally been beat

As I look at our perfect crumbled with my heart in a pile at my feet

There Are No More Tears to cry there are no more questions of why

All that is left is to sit empty and watch our perfect fade away and die

I never thought that we would give up I never thought that we could lose

Even through all the torment and pain if I was only given One Love it's always you that I would choose

I wish I had had the chance to hold your hand and look into your eyes one last time

But our once  perfect love has ended there will be no happy ending to this rhyme
P

Shades of green tip toe around the edges of her  endless blue eyes

Fear overwhelms me but my  voice has been stoken and no one can hear the whispers of my cries



Her intoxicating Crimson lips slowly inhale me as I reluctantly begin to pay her toll

I fiercely try to resist but the Temptation is too powerful to control

I feel the piercing of razor blades on my skin but I have no more blood to be bled

Swallowed by my addiction the invisible night  had to be fed

the steaming Blaze of her  tentacles dance inside of me crushing my dreams

Ripping from me my pride dignity and self esteem

My scorching legs seem to turn to molten lava melting into the floor

My conscience is trying to save me but I do not answer the knock at the door

Her splendid beauty and tantalizing warmth now engulf my every thought

My life is no longer my own for my soul the devil has bought
