*Gibson's Story - 37thchamber - 08-22-2017 Since some people won't let this go, I felt the need to tell the story in a way that adequately frames the issues in moral terms. Flying Thunder presents: "Gibson's Story" (I really shouldn't have to explain this, but I know some of y'all are mad young, so... in case you didn't know, this is a parody of the Slick Rick classic; Children's Story) [Intro] Uncle Antoine, could you read us a bedtime story? Please, huh, please? Alright, you kids get to bed, I'll get the storybook Y'all tucked in? Yeah! Heeeere we go Once upon a time not long ago When people wore pajamas and lived life slow When leagues were stern and justice stood And players were behavin' like they ought ta good There lived a college grad who was misled By pharmaceutical reps and this is what they said: "Listen up kid, and you can pad your stats, Blockin' at the line and then makin' the catch" They gave him drugs, glory came with ease But homie couldn't stop, it's like he had a disease He popped another and another, pancaked dudes like they was nothin' Then he caught the interest of a journo, undercover The journo smelled a fish, and started analyzin' He said "Holy shit, these numbers are surprizin'!" He started counting up, and he did the math A hundred ten doses was the count that he had Rolled up on our grad and said "Are you on TPE?" The grad was silent, but his eyes were shifty The journo got pushy and the grad stayed quiet Thinking "This comes out, the whole league will riot" So he cold dashed and went into hiding Article released, tempers were rising The grad stayed silent, let them investigate him Looked on stoically and ignored all the baiting All the furore around his team, all these accusations The issue reached the top of this sim league nation But dude was in the wind, might as well be dead Didn't make a peep, nor sound, not even a breath His GM made statements and swore his innocence His teammates too, one and all they figured that His elevated performance was just unexplained The universe is mysterious what more could they say? But players in the league were not impressed And argued his team had more but now should have less They said "They were cheating! That's not right!" Couldn't help but feel some of the claims were spite Head office disagreed and cleared his team The grad was gonna come back, it had all been a dream But then he heard word, still in trouble he was Crashed back to Earth, lost all his buzz Career was alive but his rep was in tatters Released from his team, now the dream was shattered Ran out of T weeks ago, still had a habit Stormed a pharmacy, and aggressively demanded Had the owner by the coat, said he was gonna be the GOAT He told the staff "Bring TPE or homie here's toast" Deep in his heart he knew he was wrong So he let the owner go and he starts to run on It was all so strange, not what he'd intended Then he got the call to say he was suspended He dropped his cell, so went the glory And this is the way I have to end this story He was only twenty-three, in a madman's dream The league ruined kid, I still hear him scream This ain't funny so don't ya dare laugh Just another case about the wrong path Straight 'n narrow or yo' soul gets cast Good night [Outro] 1: Oh boy, that Uncle Antoine is really weird 2: I know right what does he mean by “Straight ‘n narrow or yo’ soul gets cast" 1: I don’t know, I think he be crackin' up or something 2: Well, good night 1: Good night (652 words) * made a few minor edits since the original post but the word count should still be correct Code: GRADED $2052000 *Gibson's Story - Gwdaja - 08-22-2017 This is a masterpiece.
