Not going out for Halloween because you weren't trying to get bodied
Getting home before 7 because thats when your neighbor let her wild ass dogs roam free
It's all nice stories now that I ain't living that life no more

I used to get happy meals on my birthday.
Playing with a stick and a tire but that wasn't due to poverty. We actually had a lot of money at that particular point in time. It was just amazing fun. What made it fun? I haven't the slightest recollection.

I trained Sheng Long and Shonuff
if you haven't turned on the lights in the middle of the night only to see a jihad/deluge of roaches running amok then you don't know poverty..
I was literally so disgusted one day I cleaned the entire house my damn self. When I say clean I mean clean breh. I'm super anal about that sh*t.
I scrubbed every inch of the kitchen with those little brillo pads. I was tryin' to make sure the roaches ain't have nothing to eat.
That's when I found out that they will eat wood and each other. Also, they ate through the back of the microwave. My skin is crawling all over again.
humanoids will definitely devolve back to the cucarachas they are when this life is over..
Goddamn, today I just seen a big roach in my crib, first in 13 years. I'm scurred of insects brehs.

Couldn't afford Name Brand KOOL-AID
Those knockoffs were disgusting.
But when that's all your parents could afford you were just happy to eat
I still throw up at the smell of spam...
The one moment that sticks out for me is my time in Miami during and after Hurricane Andrew.
Most of my family didn't have money to evacuate so we rode the storm out and afterwards Miami was like a third world country for a while. We only had MRE's to eat and gather water from the hydrant, no lights so candles were essential. As a kid it was dope as fukk. My friends and I would break into other people's place to play with the toys they left behind.

3) I lost one of my closest friends from Elementary school, to gun violence. RIP Kevin!!
Plus I have two of my Junior high friends serving light bids ( 3-5 years.
