about

I was listening to ESPN radio a few days ago and they were talking about Jordan's career, his titles, awards etc. in honor of his 50th birthday. I was inspired. It brought back a lot of memories.
I grew up watching MJ play and I was blessed enough to be able to catch him live a handful of times. This track is about one of those incomparable nights. The artwork is from a newspaper clipping from the Chicago Sun times after the game I am describing.
[That's me in the front row by Jordan's knee brace]

If you dig it, please share.

lyrics

Newspaper clipping, Chicago Suntimes
Ill type of picture, its stuck in my mind
Me in the background, looking like "alright"
I swear to god, I can never forget that night
Isaac Hayes was alive, he sat two rows behind
Crazy, Carmen Electra was to my right
And Sinbad was there, yup he was close by
I even had better seats than Jesse Jackson that night
They captured a legend in mid flight
Clutching the ball, greatest player of all time
Eeee ... Signature elbow & knee brace
Bugging, about to spike the ball on dudes face !
Yup, 23 in the air but naw not dunking
looking at Mark Jackson and thinks "I'm gonna punk him!"
Insanity, United Center was on fire !
If I aint have the pic, you'd prolly think I was a liar !
But look G, huh, that aint never been me
And trust it joe, this is right from my memory
I've got two autographs, to me they are priceless
And I ain't gonna front I never wore no NIKES
I swear to god, I might be the only dude from the GO
That never rested his feet on Jordan soles
But I guarantee, I am in tune with Jordan's soul
He was born in Brooklyn but that dude is so GO !
Mikes competitive level was out ta control
Work ethic, charisma and yeah, a bit of an asshole
And those are the three reasons I relate so well
Because I am here & I am here to give my competition hell!
And I fight through pain throughout this whole game
Made my own lane & play my own way
Respect to the greatest baller of all time
Thank you for the inspiration, the pleasure was all mine
