Somewhere I have heard that before
I know that for sure
I remember as if it was yesterday
But then again, it happened all today
Let me take you back
My buddy and I were hanging on the Basketball Court
We often played on the Basketball on any given day including the weekends
We were shooting the Hoops and challenging each other
My buddy noticed some thugs walking towards us
He said, “I hope they don’t make a fuss”
My Buddy stated, I got your back
Meanwhile, I was getting punched and smacked
So much for my Buddy having my back
Then my Buddy and I were being pushed and shoved
It went into a complete beat down in fight
However, it turned into more like fright
But my Buddy and I began to take control
We were feeling Bold
Did these Thugs think we were going to let them push us around?
It was going to happen on these grounds
No matter what, we were going to defend ourselves
We weren’t born to be turtles in a shell
Our message in fight is our circumstance too tell
We have a right on this court
Our protection must be our fought
We have game
That shall remain
We have a name
Its Thugs beware
If you want to play Basketball, we can share
So if you Thugs don’t want to do that, we will take you out in a punch
So Buddy, “Do you still have my back?”
He said yes
I got knocked out with one hard punch and smack
Thanks Buddy for not having my back.
