Jamaal:
Oh yea game time .it's time to eat. "Yo Jamaal you know Kelvin High got some fine bitches dawg? After the game we need to find us a Christmas carnival date cause we-" "yo man my mind tryna focus on this game not a no good broad you feel me" I say cutting him off "yeah man I feel you but I'm jus saying " "yeah Ik Jermaine" I say then place my headphones in my ears ..
Jermaine is my bestfriend . He been my boy since we was Lil scrubs .. we always been close.. his people took me in when my mom died and pops went to jail.
Ma dukes died in the house fire. My old man wasn't shit but a crackhead and she wasn't trynna help him get his fix.. I guess he wasn't feeling her response and he set the place on fire.. left me and ma for dead .. I saw him doing it but I was only 4 so I wasn't really sure what was happening.. I remember jermaine daddy coming out the house next door to rescue us and he saved me and when he was going back in the house fell.. when the people came and found my mom..she was tied up and burned to smithereens... I never forgave his ass .. jermaine parents are the only ones I got as a mother and father.. his dad and my mom was best friends.. he tell me all the time that about their past and stuff.. I guess that's why I write poetry ..or well spoken word cause it releases pain that I have.
"Alright y'all we are here. This game got scouts from all over so play y'all like y'all getting drafted.. boys... It's time to eat " coach Dickson says to us. Yea this game is important to me.. " captain take over " coach says ..
I stand up and take position ..yea I'm captain "all hands in boys... Cali on three, Cali on three 1,2,3" team yells "CALI" "ALRIGHT FELLAS LETS EAT"
I read over my poem one last time
It's not just a game that includes a ball,
this is a game with a rise and a fall.
The players work hard and hardly ever rest,
their names printed proudly across their vest.
The ball bounces many of times,
and goes through the net as the buzzer chimes.
A slam dunk or alley-oop the skills are all there,
as the ball flies high up into the air.
Basketball is not just a game, it's an art,
where the game is decided right from the start.
Basketball is all about the team,
as each individual has their own dream.
It's not just about those points on the board,
but the hard work winning shot as the point is scored.
I close my book & we get off the bus and walk into Kelvin High School . Home of the Gators ..
Game time..
Game started and we ahead by 10 . 55 seconds before half time. Jermaine (forward) he fakes left and pass It to me and I shoot for three putting us 12 points ahead.
*honkkkk*
The buzzard ring off and I'm proud with the score .. coach said we doing good so we can watch the half time performance.. I mean shit ion mind watching some girls shake ass ..
