One of the boys moved down here from up north and he used to tell everybody that he was from Brooklyn for no other reason than to look cool. We were some lil southern nikkas but every rapper seemed to be from NY and so that made that NY cool. He was always talking about Brooklyn this and BK that. All kinds of tales
Where were at his house and he was showing us an old hood movie tape and his stepdad, Lloyd, was in a scene breaking up a fight.
Lloyd was real cool and he used to ball at the park with us, talk all kind of shyt and basically schooled us on random shyt
Anyways, his moms walks in and one of the brehs asked her, "Do you guys miss Brooklyn?"
She was like, "No, we're not from Brooklyn, we're from Bloomfield

"
We look over at Sharif and he's pretending like he's looking for batteries for his Gameboy and he walked into the kitchen
I look back at his mom and was like, "Is Bloomfield near Brooklyn

"
And she was like, "No. It's in Connecticut

. Lloyd is from there. Me and Sharif have only been once in his life to visit Lloyd's people "
She thought for a second and she was like, "Sharif, get yo skinny lying ass in here and tell the truth

"
She was laughing so hard and loud and we joined in like

He was standing in the hallway listening to us and his mama laughing at him. He didn't show his face but we saw his shadow against the wall and he was like, "Let's go play ball, man

" then he dipped out the back door
We changed his nickname to Husky and never stopped
