I GOT YOUR BACK

I GOT YOUR BACK

A Poem by anthony blake
"

Territory Hustle

"

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.
