Around 6th grade (me), this kid was messin' with my little brother

My bro' told my dad and my dad told me to go see 'em (lived across the street)

I wasn't really ready to beat 'em--he was smaller than me--but, I was sure I could intimidate him

I'm up in the kids face (in the street, in front of his house), but, he's lookin' me off, talkin' trash to my brother

I tell my brother to go home and I stay

The little kid goes "oh, so u wanna get big brothers" *snap* The 6'5" version of the lil' dude hops over the front patio



Now, we're in the middle of the street and his brother (way bigger than me) is walkin' towards me...

Yea, I wasn't bout that life

Thankfully, nobody was hit, big brother just brought little brother home

And I went home...and changed my draws'

CAC wanted to fight over some bs at work, like "fisticuffs".. I thought about jail time and dipped.

I was doing a transfer class in a small town in ontario and this chick who i was messin with asked me to basically be a pimp/bouncer for her friends while we were in the city...

It was probably gonna be the easiest money I ever made assembled a crew and everything but I reflected on my life and it wasnt worth it to me... so i peaced it...

like 3 weeks later the girl must have really liked me or felt bad or something cause she sent me a 1500 dollar prepaid credit card in the mail... no lie.

[Sierra Mist]

Never had to be and I wouldn't brag/rap/dance/ect about it like it's something to be proud of anyway.

 

[1thouwow]

u ain't gotta be in the streets to be about that life
i work but anybody that'll try me to the extreme will definitely get a reaction outta me, point blank.
