I haven t seeen him since fifteenwhen he got booked for doing scams.
I tried to walk away but he wouldn t let me leave He ran up quick behind me asking"Yo what happened to my nigga Steve?" Steve was like this kid I went with back in Grammar School.
I chuckled knucklehead I seen him yesterday he s cool He s busted"so who you checking for now?" Probably some intellectual.

in th morning on the Boulevard I m still at large engaged with my entourage me and Godfather and a 67 Dodge.
I stepped out the note to post up my guard searching for my car that was stolen from Scotland Yard.
My first instinct was to check the chop shop garage.
As I rung the bell someone tapped me on my back I turned around to look it was a rookie in a mask.
He said"I got a itchin on my trigger Don t move nigga I m taking you for murder." See cops got two faces like two laces on my Reeboks.
My knees knock as I step back for a claear shot Well did you shoot him? Naw kid I didn t have the balls That s when I realized I m pumpin too much Biggie Smalls.
