Tribute>iron Mike Tyson

he grew up in the city of hard knocks

running wild avoiding dirty cops

BROOKLYN is his home and the ghetto is where he roamed

from a child he always was a fighter 

only when he got older did he become a biter

he got into trouble so many times

finally he got locked up for his crimes

he started boxing to relieve his stress

eventually becoming one of the best

his relationship with robyn was touch and go

could of been a reality show

he was abusive and hit her alot

she finally called the cops and he got caught

that wasnt the end he went through more

committing a rape behind closed doors

he did his time and was released

came home a natural born beast

through the years he tattooed the left side of his face

marking his territory and showing his place

he was granted permission to box out the country

that was when it hasppened on live t.v

he had some kids in between his bids

went from rich to poor thats what he did

today i heard the saddest news 

his four year old daughter is on life support

we are no judge in a high ranking court

let him be in peace cause life is short

BEST WISHES AND PRAYERS TO YOU "IRON MIKE TYSON"

I also heard the news.. Mike was a talent and also a very confused man who was used by many to line their pockets..he was their Kunta Kente..their meal ticket, and now he is lost and despised by many, especially the glass house folks...thanks for sharing this because when I heard the news today it saddened my heart..be well my soldier sista..keep on writing from your passion...
