I've lived between the Ville/ the stuy most my life..For me personally it wasn't stressful like me being scary my fam was pretty known and its home but you just always gonna have unconscious anxieties cause what you see and u just never know it was 3000 murders a year back then....it was more fukked up in the 90s when nikkas would just be 20-30 deep at the stations just scoping licks especially the school kids and generally anybody if you wasn't somebodys mom or lil cousin etc...roll some weed I got a story to tell...I almost got jacked once in junior high in 7th grade I was 5ft I had bedazzled pelle pelle lil fly nikka you couldn't tell me shyt

didn't get my growth spurt till 8th grade ..I got off the train this one day I kinda felt nikkas following me..one big high schooler tapped my shoulder said shorty what size is that ..I kept walking..he tapped me again then spun me around and said yo take ya shyt off and walk

. I was a lil nikka but foolishly I was ready to die for my coat cause I know my momma prob did everything in the world to get it for me..so I'm facing him scared heart pumpin but ready to fight him...as I back stepped I bump into a nikka then just like that I look around and I was surrounded by like 12 big as high schoolers before I knew it..dude said like twice take ya shyt off and walk shorty..I remember tears came to my eyes but I stood firm but silent knowing I was about to get destroyed or maybe die

all of a sudden my big cousins home girl who I think must of been wit them came outta no where like a angel from god recognized me and stepped in the circle and grabbed me shielding me and said nah y'all not getting him that's my lil nikka not this one...she was one of them tough bytches that use to fight dudes lol..the main dude was her cousin..nikka looked at me and said yo shorty get the fukk outta here...she walked me out the circle kissed me and said run home..before I could even jet wit my bookbag on all crooked they already was grabbing up the next lil nikka

trackstar I made that "pewn": sound lol ...but I lived to see another day
