“I always let LeBron know off top. Dog, they love you right now. They love you right now. But please believe me, the first incident, the first time something happen, they are waiting, man."
- Allen Iverson
The grit & grind capital of hoops deserves its King
Crown steady but with it is the attention aerial fireworks bring
And nobody do the 4th quite like the M
So who’s World is this?
Ja's World of course and par for it is to see and take notice the chinks
it’s not a think piece
I hope for you the armor is forever sturdy as your star begins its path to nova
Over time a much closer examination reveals-
Mud babies earn what they receive
And when you Up I hope you stay up
And flaunt the makeup of hard work and dedication as your wake up
Prospective.
Them people capture the flash but they all always dash when controversy come
Before it was love
Now they on yo azz
Build it up, tear it down, take no solace of it’s path
Life of a relic
That’s them but what about you?
If we being honest- the line between showing up and showmanship is always a thin one and the Grizz treaded such lightly this Spring
It’s understood
Like how you bounce with springs for calves in motion into an airspace rarified so it would seem
Spring-boarding to the upper echelon out West
And now- it’s a scene when your squad step
Double entendre
my best guess
You once loved to see it
But please remember Ja to embody the heart of the city is to accept the growing pains as well as you achieve it
The triumph and turbulence alike
I hope your legacy doesn’t equate to just being liked
while spite adorns
Whatever your reasons
I hope you win in its highest form in every way and stay measured thru it all
Many ball and keep it tall at the same damn time
you got a mind
Peace to your journey Ja
A therapeutic summer and come fall
May Jah be with you as you find
A.I. Penny Derrick
Fountains of wisdom I presume for you would share it
The NBA habitat can be all yours for years to come I see no breach
The keys to the land are in your reach King
Just hold out your hands
Heavy is the head
I hope you read…
