"fadeaway" poems
Life is
About getting buckets.
How would Kobe live if he couldn't?
That's a mystery mankind will never truly comprehend.
A bucketless Kobe is a fake Kobe.
The sound of that string music is unmatchable.
The Kareem sky hook.
The Curry j.
The Kobe fadeaway.
The PG windmill.
These are all different forms,
They all get buckets.
Cherish these buckets like no other.
One day you will be old and grey.
Like bill Russell.
You won't be able to get buckets anymore except for in your dreams.
When your career is over. You will miss it.
You can't get buckets forever.

A shout out to LeBron
For a big night in Akron
A welcome win for the Cavaliers
Tonight against the TimberWolves.
Cavs finally ended the drought
Via the energy they brought.
Coach Tyronn Lue drew up a game plan
That finally brought a win to the land.
Both teams put up a spectacular show
Leaving the erratic Cavs fans like wow!
The combined 3s of forty was historic,
Shot by both teams was really fantastic!
Tonight LeBron played like a real GOAT!
Playing great basketball from all over the court!
The big block on Butler is not what this is about,
But the clutched game winner fadeaway he shot!

Took my time as I woke myself
Made it my prime, simultaneously fell
Now I'm here, looking back
I built myself along this track
Every day, another piece
Black paint for the formerly white sheep
Learn and learn, watch and imitate
Slowly conforming to the idea of wait
Here I am, I love myself
But nothing to show for it lies on my shelf
Materialism isn't what I desire
What I desire is cognitive fire
Fire that will make me help others
Fire that takes me out from my cover
Still I want more, I can't even reflect
This is me looking back, so I'm not done yet
Every single movement that I made
Every memory I decided to save
Every person I was pleased to have known
Every person who knows I have grown
They made me love all, they set me free
As is they were, so that I could be
Rungs on a ladder, steps up the stairs
Every single one, it is not even fair
It isn't fair that they loved me back
It isn't fair that I was rarely attacked
Why did you let me walk with you always?
Why the kindness, the unconditional praise?
Don't ever change, don't stop moving on
Don't stop moving until your energy is gone
Thank you for taking time to give me your eyes
Thanks for myself, my real grand prize
Thanks if you ever looked in my direction
Thanks for your constantly veiled affection
Thanks if you even gave me any of your words
Thanks for making my voice feel it was heard
I love myself more and more every day
It really helped to be discouraged to dismay
All that I do that I can't really face
You helped me to stop trying to erase
Well now, I have felt love, every day more
And all who I met, hopefully they do too
I hope that I reached you through my actions
I hope I gave anyone some satisfaction
Don't take me back! It's time to move on
All of these memories are already gone
I must move forward, search for better days.
Loved you even more, now a fadeaway

Hurts when their was no
Love
Wings can't fly and soar
Above
Can't see the pain that loves
To shove
It's fadeaway...
Nightmares leave me with
A scare
Like adrenaline when playing truth
Or dare
Like secrets shared when no one
Really cares
It's fadeaway...
So many change quick to turn
Deranged
It's hard to maintain all of this
Pang
That leaves ya soul strained and
Drain
Like tears rollin' down the
Cheek
Formin' little streams so emotions
Creep
Can't feel my heart cuz it's
Obsolete
Cuz it's fadeaway fadeaway
I wish I could bring you
Back
*** love'll make your whole
Mental crack
Can't help the way I feel
And thats that...
Cuz its fadeaway
So many change quick to turn
Deranged
It's hard to maintain all of this
Pang
That leaves ya soul strained and
Drain

Three hundred sixty five days has passed
Still under the tree I wait
I would no more dare to ask
To myself that is fading away
When did the sky turn gray?
Or are my eyes simply losing it
A memory of each day
Slowly weakens a heartbeat
This is a battle
And it is your final last call
As to pieces I shatter
can you make it... before I fall

I will make your wait worthwhile.
With every moment and every smile.
You just keep flipping that hour glass making sure that no moments pass.
We'll hold on to what's true, we'll always say I love you.
We'll hold each others hand as we sprint through the grass, and fall in the leaves as the summers pass.
Skating on through this endless time, watching the snowflakes and seeing you shine.
We'd watch as seasons flew.
we both know that I’d stay until I’d turn gray and the nights fadeaway because i cherish those moments with you.
We'd stay until the day that one of us would say that I'll be waiting for you.
As time goes by and the seasons fly by our strong lovers story would be through.
They’d smile at the day when they could lay down and say don't worry I've come back to you.

i wasn't tired until you
fell into my arms
and i wasn't tired until
i threw a thousand
weightless snowdrops
to the ground
and i didn't hurt until
the first word
and now
my home is a loud
roar of reverberations
that pass through me
(like a million spoken knives)
and i didn't understand
pain. Until your somebody
stumbled into me
and i couldn't let go
(because they were made of ash)
and i felt the weight
of so many somebodies
(suddenly)
and i began
to think
that - my existence
(the sea
the sky
and the nothing between)
manifested to
pulverize
the
planet
with
each
further
strained
breath
until
it
can
feel
each
pinprick
loss
of
life
it
enforces.
And maybe my rage
forged bellowing
stormclouds over deserts
or made rivers flow backwards
from storm surge (tear driven)
but the somebody i'm not
and the somebodies i carry
will never
be more threatening
than a fadeaway
wind that cries with the lone
wolf.

Bless the mic, like Kwali, with the stings of bee, Ali
Set my mind free, brace the sanity, of life, broke a flee,
Off a dog, these wanna be hogs, love to keep ya mind, on jog,
I meditate, wisdom then some, hardly, still sip bacardi,
Or maybe, chase a tail grand Hennessy, black beanie,
Similar to G Deini, shrink haters tryna stay above me,
Me and my girl, go together like suns to moons, consume,
By her perfume, natural scent, linked for the spiral embezzlement,
Souls touched, double dutch, break out like a Jordan Clutch,
Fadeaway, all the negativity, lift ya ****** off of gravity,
If ya try me, soldier born eyes in the storms, to stay ready,
Mind focus, sharp as a michete, peaceful but deadly,
Preach to these cats, not enough cheese for the rats,
Quick to pat you down, let off rounds, body kiss the ground,
How many gotta die, for us to be ratified, by justice that fried,
Innocent lives, still tryna find the honest hives, cried,
Many lonely nights, mocked the rain, like tears, streaming down,
The window pane, stuck at a loss, tryna focus on gains,
Refrain, from the haters still wear zoot suits,with a gator,
Fedora hats, looking in the mirror, at myself, likes who's that?
Gotta stay cool, don't let them see a break, a sweat fool,
I watch the mule, shake off of the evil jewels, know the rules,
Play it safe, ninety eight laws, of power, helped from being sour,
As I shower, drops,
Over ya head, half senile threads, on my thoughts that spread,
Miss the feds, they tried to blast, but I'm too fast, built for everlast,
Crash, dummies order of chaos, wrapped like a mummy,
Ensemble, something mindful, pass the dreadful, and hateful,
People taking too many spoonfuls, of lust, greed, and weath,
Dont ask me, why I blast back, I keep myself deep in stealths,

Yo let's talk peace, instead of putting
Into rest in peace,
I hold.the crease, to hip hop, check
The starched down fold,
I control the console,
Yo this is for the soul,
No hate could mold, I stole the show,
Treat life like its my wife,
Counter any chaos,
Still win even when I loss, mind state
Of a champion,
MJ on the mic, once I fadeaway off the
Seeds of the holy,
Green sticking to my mental,
It's my haven or temple,
Spit it plain and simple,
No time to fight, just check the smooth
Tips of a dope write,
Got ya mind grid'locked, float
Like a kite on the mic,
Cordless engorge this, naw
Y'all can't ignore this,
Magnificent lyricist, spiting on LPs,
Certified classics,
Pete rock, be the beat goon,
As I flow like a monsoon,
Got ya head to consume,
The Lyrical heirloom,
Like a blossom to bloom,
And soon,
I'll heal ya, with the melodic heavenly,
Fumes,
Hits like perfume, zoom
Into the melanin wound,
Wordsmith titanium,
Never lacked in selenium,
Bats I'm aiming 'em,
At the ***** of money,
It's funny, when hoes love to call
Ya honey sunny,
Even when I'm in the dark state,
Annihilate,
Any threat that trys to jet,
My way, I put the cars on cruise when
I hit the highway,
The fly way, htown to the Tre,
State area, clouding ya,
Mind let the beat hit, one more time
To ya mind,
As carefully pin ya sign, (get it)

Check it, i hope yall understand me,
Like 19 keys, cop a few cuties out in Belize, please believe,
Money comes first, then the power,
To get enemies showered,
Well under and devoured,
I took a pinch of the flowers,
Scented in the garden of edem,
People saying dont believe em,
And i dont care if they don't feel em,
I got ninth dimensions, casting spells,
Putting marks on shells,
Nightmares of the holy grail,
Only time will tell,
Is my soul free or is it for sell?,
Valuable lessons, learned quick,
From gripping the smiff and lessons,
Knuckleheads getting a blessing,
Then have the nerves,
To say they stressin,
Never undermind a blessing, and curse to gift of guessin',
In this game of life, aint no fair shake
With the hand rolls on the dice,
Shorty looking nice, but i see the slit tongue spliced,
Demoness with breast, rising from the east to the west,
I manifest, only the realness when herbs fills within my chest,
Only reggies the best,
Dont **** with the kush, get ya soul pushed,
Back into other **** thays counterfeit, money in my hands giving flips,
To stacks of hundreds, while im a slave to the hundred,
Years of freedom, went from the chattery, to the corporate daily,
Reporting to masters its crazy,
Broke the chains, of misery,
Now im lazy, nothing these days phase me,
Radio airways dont play me,
Realness is a menace to truth, i preach the gospel, with lonely tear drops,
Til i open the eyes of rhe youth,
Moneys the universal language,
Or better yet linguistics,
Hoes wana grab the biscuit,
Like they owning it,
But i stay showing it,
See how the loot, make hoes go round,
Carousel bound, like earth making its rounds,
Joker splitter, see the hitman markers his hitter,
Giving bodies jitters,
Like when im on the mic,
I treat it right,
Flip more rhymes than tongues to ****
Better yet let it hang like Mike,
On a fadeaway, begans the takeway,
Fools putting false reps like MLK,
Say,
They down for the community,
But all i see piercing,
In the community,
Gangs and **** sold out for cheap hits,
No leaders, just a bunch of court cases,
And the biggest killers always remain faceless,

When the morning comes and the
sunlight opens its bright dimensions
inside my veins, all the tears that I've
shed over your fadeaway world will
be nonexistent. I don't know why I
allow your love to disentangle my mind,
how its destructive vowels intensify
and explode in the most despicable
ways, how my lifeless eyes are grey
and drained, stained and changing,
drowning and dying, a scarred shape
sinking under bursting volcanoes.
I'm so done with the consistent
arguing, the slanted diction rising
and falling, falling and rising.
so confused and creeping in slippery
mud. What is it about your dangerous
passion that keeps me lingering inside
your existence, the good times that
shifts into damaged affection,
how every warm sensation falls
apart and shatters in the dark,
how the trees shake their leaves
in disgrace, a splitting state stabbing
my soul in the dreary air.
My thoughts are drifting in itself,
and I'm afraid that I can no longer
carry on inside slammed snapshot
world. I'm all cried out my love
and my heart can't take another
brutal beating by the hands of
your smashed kingdom.
