I am a SIXTH MAN

I still remember this moment

In the back of my mind

The time we stood with our shaking hands

The crowds in the stands went wild

We were the KINGS and the queens

And they read off YOUR names

The night you PLAYED like you knew our lives

Would never be the same

You held your head like a hero

On a history book page

It was the end of a decade

But the start of an age

Long live the walls we crashed through

While the ARENA lights shined just for me and you

I was screaming, long live all the magic we made

And bring on all the pretenders, TODAY you will be remembered

I said remember this feeling

YOU passed the BALL around

Of all the years that we stood there on the sidelines

FEARING for right now

We are the KINGS and the queens

You traded your JERSEY for a FROWN

When they gave YOU YOUR trophies

And YOU held them up for YOUR town

And the FANS are outraged

Screaming, this is absurd

'Cause for a moment, a band of GREEDS

WITH BAD HAIR got to rule the world

Long live the walls we crashed through

While the ARENA lights shined just for me and you

I was screaming, long live all the magic we made

And bring on all the pretenders, WE are not afraid

Long live all the SHAQS that you moved

I had the time of my life fighting LAKERS with you

I was screaming, long live the look on your face

And bring on all the pretenders, TODAY you are remembered

Hold on to, RUNNING around

Confetti falls to the ground

May these memories break or fall

And I take a moment

Promise YOU this

That WE'LL stand by YOU forever

But if God forbid if fate should step in

And force us into a goodbye

WHEN I have children someday

When they point to the pictures

I WILL tell them YOUR name

Tell them how the crowds went wild

Tell them how MUCH YOU SHINED

Long live the walls YOU crashed through

I had the time of my life with you

Long live the walls we crashed through

While the ARENA lights shined just for me and you

I was screaming, long live all the magic we made

And bring on all the pretenders, WE are not afraid

Long live all the SHAQS that you moved

I had the time of my life fighting LAKERS with you

I was screaming, long live the look on your face

And bring on all the pretenders, TODAY you are remembered

This is my tribute to the Sacramento Kings. I know that the season may have ended, but they may not be leaving. They might be staying. All I have to say is that, they were a part of my life. I will always be a SACRAMENTO Kings fan. I was there when Robert Horry made that horrifying shot; I was there when Bibby made that fantastic three pointer; I was there for the punches, and falls; I was there for the sadness and the joys; and if they stay, I will be there for always.
