ON THE PLAYGROUND IS WHERE I SPENT MOST OF MY DAYS. CHILLIN' OUT 'MAXIN RELAXIN' ALL COOL. AND ALL SHOOTING SOME B-BALL OUTSIDE OF THE SCHOOL. WHEN A COUPLE OF GUYS, WHO WERE UP TO NO GOOD, STARTED MAKING TROUBLE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. I GOT IN ONE LITTLE FIGHT AND MY MOM GOT SCARED. SHE SAID "YOU'RE MOVING WITH YOUR AUNTIE AND UNCLE IN BEL-AIR."

I BEGGED AND PLEADED WITH HER DAY AFTER DAY, BUT SHE PACKED MY SUITCASE AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. SHE GAVE ME A KISS AND THEN SHE GAVE ME MY TICKET. I PUT ON MY WALKMAN AND SAID "I MIGHT AS WELL KICK IT."
