The Game Poem by Nicholas Smith

The Game



I may not be the best but I can ball

You may beat me but I will give it my all



Basketball is my favorite sport yea we know that song

But we're my real ballers at?

The ones who be outside shooting jumpers all day long



When Mom and Pops get mad because you stayed out so late

Running home to eat that cold plate



It's all good though I'll eat that cold dinner with pride

Cause I know one day Ma and Dad gone be proud



Remember that first game mad cause ya lost?

Felt like part of you died along with that crowd



Nothing to be ashamed though you gone show em all one

day

You thought to yourself 'Imma be like MJ I gotta make it to the NBA'



No matter what they say 'Nick you suck, give up, go home'

All that talk is motivation and will lead me one step closer to the throne.
