Ode To Ronnie
I remember one day as a teenager, hanging at the pool room, I met a hustler named Ronnie.
His game was billiards and I watched him make bucks.
He taught me how to hold the cue stick, put english on the cue ball, and make bank shots,
Soon, I became one of the pool sharks on the block;
I've known many black hustlers, who were my mentors.
Each one had a profound effect upon me;
Many black men are geniuses who have been relegated to the street level.
Among them, my friend and mentor, Ronnie.
