" You Sure You Ready For This Baby ? " Said Haayendé As He Stared At Me .
I Looked At Him , Bullets Flying Past My Mit & Said " I'll Do Anything For You ! "

4 YEARS EARLIER
It Was 1997 , I Was A Junior At Bok High In South Philly , I Just Came Out To My Mom & Dad , I Got Hired At The Hospital , I Finished Paying Off My Crown Vic . Life Was Going Good , I Was A Popular Guy , Everybody Knew & Liked Me . Even The Str8 Guys Because I Was Funny & Wasn't All Flamboyant And I Could Also Handle My Own . I Walked In As A 5'10 Freshman . 110 Lbs , Knocking Muthafuckas Smooth The Fuck Out ! But , I Was No Trouble Maker . I Was Simply , Egypt White .
I Was Walked Out Of School On A Friday , Feeling Good . Lookin Better , I Was Walking With Girad From Out Passyunk Projects , He Walked Me To My Car On Emily St.
" You Knoee I Like You Right " he Said .
I Popped My Gum & Replied " Well I Like You Too Girad , But I'm Just Not Ready For A Committed Relationship With Somebody Like You . "
" Wtf You Mean Somebody Like ME E ?! what You Trynna Say ? I'm Not Good Enough ?! " he Said In A Heated Manner .
" Well No , I Mean Somebody Who Runs With My Brother , You Knoee Birds Of A Feather . Besides . you Have More Important Things To Worry About Like Trynna Help Your Mom & Baby Sister . " I Said .
I Reached My Car & Leaned Up Against It .
" Listen E , What I Do With Your Brother You Knoee The B&E Thing Will Only Benefit Us Baby . You'll Never Have To Worry About Wanting Anything . You'll Have Everything You Want . " He Said .
I Gave A Slight Smile & Turned To Open My Car , " See That's Where You Wrong , I Don't Want For Nothing . I Just Won't Have What I Need . I Need Somebody Who Has A Clear Image Of Where There Going , not Somebody Who Is Trying To Take The Easy Way Out By Robbing Houses . Now I'm Late For Work , I'll Beep You A Lil Later . "
" Yea Whatever E , I Holla . " he Said Walking Away In Heartache Because He Couldn't Fully Understand My Reasoning Of What I Was Saying .
But , It Was Friday & I Wasn't Really Going To Work , I Was Going Out To Check Out The Fly Fellas at The All Black Party Across Broad St. My Bestfriends Haneef & Badeen Was Going With Me . Haneef Came From A Silver Platter , Spoon & Fork . His Mom Was Smart & Went To School & Owned Up Some Hair Salons In The City . Haneef Just Decided To Go To School In The Hood With Us Over Private School . Now Badeen , Was A Bad As Youngin . He Was A Hustler , He Was Truly South Philly ! He Robbed The Stores In Town & Sold It To Everybody In The Neighborhood , A Booster . He Never Got Caught Because He Was Soo Slick . He'd Lie & Say His Mom Was On Crack & He Had No Way To Eat . That Boy Could Sell A Igloo To A Eskimo . HE Was Fly Though !

I Pulled Up Home , I Lived In A 4 Bed Room House On Cantrell St. My Daddy Built It From Ground Up After He Purchased The Property At An Auction . It Was Lovely , Granite Counter Tops , Hardwood Floors , Ect. Ect. He Loved To Build Things . My Mom Worked In One Of Haneefs Mom Shops Called " Show Stoppas " . Now My Brother Was Bad News . He Was A 23 Year Old Dead Beat ! He Always Fucked Up , Selling Drugs , Robbing People , Babies Young . Going To Jail . But My Dad Believed He Could Save His Dumb Ass & My Mom Wasn't Even Letting Him Go Nowhere . I Made It My Business To Never Be With A Man Like Him . NEVER ! His Name Was Shakka . My Mom Was The Afrocentric Type . Dashikis , Headraps , Dreads , Paintings , Ancient African Arts . I Admired It Because It Was Different . Like A Peice Of The Mother Land In The Ghetto .

It Was 7 o'clock Time To Get Ready . I Had To Be Cute , I Put On My Black turtle Neck Shirt , Black Slim Levi's & Black Buttas That Girad Got Me From South St. I put My Gold Chain With My Name On It & my 4 Fingered Ring With Girads Name On It . I Needed An Extra Peice So I Walked To Shakka Room To See What I Could Aquire .
" Shock ! .... Shooooock ! " I Yelled .
I Knocked On His Door & Didn't Get A Reply So I Let Myself In . It Smelled Funny , I Kept Sniffing But Payed It . Shakka Had A Rooom With Mirrors All Over . I Opened His Slide Closet & Layed My Eyes On The Perfect Jacket . His Black & White Moschino Jacket & Belt With Gold Letters To Match . That Smell Was Killing Me So I Did A Lil Snooping , He Had My Favorite Lox Album On So I Knew He Wasn't To Far To Be Found Because It Was Only On The 4th Song . I Then Realized The Big Lump On The Bed Under The Covers , my Brother Wasn't Very Bright So I Didn't Let Him Knoee His Cover Was Blown . I Acted Like I Was Satisfied & Crept Out The Door . Then Waited 10 Seconds Before Bursting In The Door & Jumping On The Bed Ontop Of Him & This Lil Funky Girl .
" Boo ! " I Screamed .
Damn . E , How You Knoee I Was Here ?! I'm Trynna Get Me Some . " Shakka Said .
" Shakka , Shakka , Shakka Ramal Kennyatta White . I Told You , I'm Smarter Than You Think . "
They Both Had Their Bodies Propped Up & Covered By The Blankets . The Girl Looked Failure .
" Wait , We Got African American History Together & Ap Geometry ? " Said The Girl .
" Mockaneek Johnson , Girl Wth You Doing With This Damn Fool ?! " I Said Leaning Slightly .
" fuck All That E , Just Keep This Between us . Don't Let Mom Or Pop Find Out Okay . " he said Extending His Hand For A Brotherly Shake . I Shook His Dumb Ass Hand " But It's Gonna Cost You My Brother . " I Said Showing Off My Pearly White Teeth .
" Damn , Here Man Now Get Your Lil Gay Ass Out Of Here ! " he Yelled Passing Me 2 $50 Bills . I Jump Up Before I Caught A Punch To The Chest . My Brother Was a rough Son Of A Bitch That's Why I'm Tough With Him .

But I Was Already Late Picking up My Friends . I Hoped In The Car And Bumped Xscape The Whole Way To Haneefs Mom Shop .
I pulled Up & Walked In . " Hey Ms Teemah " I Said Waving To His Mom. She Was A old Fashion Hoe , That's how She Started Up Her Business, Fucking All The Rich Niggas In South Philly , After to School .
" Hey Baby , Go Get Ms May From Under That Dryer Over There and Rinse That Conditioner Out Her Hair Please Please Please " she Said .
Ms Teemah Made Us Work In The Shops in The Summer To keep Us Out Trouble . I Did And bust It Up With Ms May for Until She Was Ready To Go Back Under the Dryer . " Where Haneef ? " I asked.
That Fool In the Back Getting Ready With His Lil Boyfriend . Haneef and Buddah Were 2 Complete Opposites But Seemingly Perfect For Eachother .
I Walked In & Buddah Was Drilling Haneefs Head In .
" I'm Not Gonna Keep Having This Conversation With You Squirt . I Love you But , I'm Not Gonna Keep Taking This Creep Shit Lightly , You Gotta Stop Lying To Me , ion Lie To You . " Said a Calm Buddah . I Just Sat on The Side Line Like Always .
" You Don't Lie You Right You Just Don't Say Shit & Expect Me To Find The Fuck Out ! I'm Not Stupid Baby I'm Not But You Gone Be The One Looking Stupid When I Leave Your Bum Ass ! " said A Screaming Haneef .
" Oh It's Like That ! Fuck You Then Squirt ! " he Said As He Got Up & Stormed Out The Door .
" Haneef How Yall Been Together This Long & Argue Like Children ? Like Its A Mess Yall Need To Talk To Each Other & Work Things Out . " I Said .
" Egypt Mind Your Business , You Don't Know What's Going On . Don't Come In Here Trynna Play Super Save A Hoe . Just Let Shit Stay Broken . " Said Haneef .
He Was Right I Always Tried To Fix Shit I Just Wanted To Go Out & Enjoy Myself .
" You Right , Now Bring You Stank Ass On . " I said . We Made Light Convo & Said Our Goodbyes it Was Now Showtime & Time For Me To Put My Mack Down .

The Party Was Live , We Dance All Night & Pulled Mad Niggas From a All Across The Room . I Couldn't Believe I Was Pulling Them Like That . But You Know Nothing Good Last Forever Some Nigga Had To Say Some Smart Shit To One Of The Hood Niggas I Know From Uptown . Me & My Crew Was Down To Ride Until The North Philly Niggas They Was Beefing With Started Busting Guns . That Was Our Que We Hopped Our Happy Ass Up Out Of There .
" Yo E ! AYE E !! " I Heard A Familiar Voice In crowd By My Car .
It Was My Dumb Ass Brother !
" What The Fuck You Doing Here ?! " He Asked?!
Boy Bring Your Dumb Ass ! " Everybody Jumped In Dumb Ass Shakka Hopped Through My Back Window . We Continued On & I Dropped Everybody off . As We Rode Down Deleware Ave . Shakka Told Me To Pull Over . I Was Dumbfounded But When He Got Out & I SawHim Retrieve the Big Ass Gun From His Waist I Knew He Really Fucking Lost The Little bit Of Sense He Had Left . He Diddy Bopped His Black Ass Back To My Car Like Everything Was Cool !
" Shak What The Fuck ?! " I Screamed As I Pulled Off Fast As Hell
" Chill Baby Bro , Everything Is Cool ! " He Said .
" I Swear Mommy & Daddy Must Be As Dumb As You Are ! You Was The Fucking One Shooting ! What If Somebody Got Hurt ! what If Somebody Saw You & Followed You & Got My Muthafuckin Plates You Fucking Idot ! I said Swinging On Him . I Was Soo Angry With Him I Tuned Him Out , I Bumped Foxy Brown The Whole Way Home . I Noticed There Was Soo Many Cop Cars & Fire Marshalls Swarming My Lil Block . We Parked 3 Blocks Down Not By Choice & Walked Home . The mood Got Soo Eerie . I Heard A Familure Cry & I Just Took Off I Knew It Was My Mom & I Knew Something Wasn't . I Reached Her Not Even Noticing My House I Grew Up In Was Affiliated With Big Curls Of Fire & Hovered By Thick black Smoke . Along With The Blood That Seemed To Leave A Mark Something Heavy On My Heart ! My Body Consoled My Weeping & Unstable Mother As My Eyes Cascaded Across The Black Faces In Search of The only Missing Face . My Daddy .
" They Killed him & Burned Our House To The Ground . 26 Years my Heart is Gone ! " My Mother Said In Tears , Rage , Anger , Hurt & Disappointment . My Father Was Murdered .
