The Bandana and the Hat

THE BANDANA AND THE HAT R.I.P Big Poppa, Biggie Smallz Junior mafia, One & only shot-stopper. R.I.P Pac the Makavelli, Amaru Shakur the legendary. The two were a force, others secondary. Notorious B.I.G was riding high 94, Tracks rolling in and more in store. The world was waiting for the outcome, "Ready to Die" was the album, But was he actually ready to die, take a bow and cross the Nile especially when he was conquering the world? Their demise, to the entire universe, was odd. Woe to the Compton gangs, Orlando Anderson culpable of death fangs. Even though Pac was fed by Death Row, he never sign up for that death blow. Despite "All Eyez On Me" and "Changes", 'cuffs and jail couldn't stop him from rockin' stages. Despite "Me Against The World", he still indelibly "Hit em up" like a god. Woe to the Southside Crips, Ghost of karma momentarily sleeps but vows: "my .44 make sho' all y'all kids don't grow!" Son of the gun, what's reaped is due to what you sow. Thug Life witnessed a Thug Angel surrender to an attack, That night, Black devils drove by in white Cardillac. Cacophonous mongering hint the HAT had to pay. Los Angeles, City of Angels whisked away And extinguished B.I.G courtesy Billups, godfather L.A.P. D officer hired to pull out all the stops... Leaving all square and lifeless Biggie's corpse. The world never forget the Bandana & the Hat; They was young and dumb but they had heart. September '96 stole the revolutionary from us, The bandana finally stumbled on lost course despite Kidada's love & Suge Knight's million dol$. March '97 blacked-out Brooklyn-born Biggie, Puffy or Faith couldn't keep him alive,what a pity! R.I.P Biggie and Makavelli. Vick Manuel Poetry {VMP} Copyright©2022
