Blacktop courts, to spectators, seem like one big stage
Where they gather to witness intense battles engage
Flocked around the cage to see the balla's showcase of skill
To disregard their concerns, to feel relaxed and chilled
Loud cheers piercing over music blaring on the sideline
Where other balla's are boasting on, waiting for thy're chance to shine
Kids hooked to the action, watching in amazement and awe
Dribbling on the sideline, imitating the moves they saw
.
.
.
Hearts throbbing, palms damped with sweat as he steps on the court
Trembles slightly as he walks, here the finest battles are fought
But still, face blank of emotions, he ready for war
Dont want others to realize he's nervous, that'll be his downfall
The game teeming wwith intensity since the ball was checked
Nice moves, trashtalking, hard fouls was all in full effect
Posterizing dunks and crossovers got the crowd adoring,
Nothing but ceaseless action and back and forth scoring
.
.
.
Game is tied, next team that scores will be victorious
Both teams are fatigued but cant afford to lose focus
An old guy got the ball and advanced upcourt swiftly
Double-teamed at halfcourt, but breached through it easily
Tried to drive the lane and dunk to bring the game to an end
Until a young balla cut him off and stepped up to defend
Had a fiery look on his face that said he meant business
But the old man smiled with confidence like he was meaningless
Crosses to shake the kid away and bring things to a cease
But before he knew it, the ball was away from his reach
Turns around to see the kid dribbling upcort hastily,
Then soaring thru the air, taking it to the hole fiercely
.
.
On his way home, he recalls the old man sayin
"Nothin but respect for you young blood, keep on playin"
