"Aye, I already done told you! It's 60 dollars!" I said. Some old head took some crack the other day, said he gon pay me which was a couple days ago. I want my damn money.
"Chill out little boy. I'm from Compton, you ain't gon do shit." He smirked.
I pulled out a pistol and put it to his dome. His smirk vanished. "I don't give a fuck where you from. What'd I tell you the other day? You have four days to get my shit, I know yo old ass getting money from somewhere so where my shit at?"
"Look man, I only have a twenty on me right now-"
"Where the forty!?"
"I'm getting to that." He said calmly with his hands raised. "I'll bring em to you tomorrow, I got you Rocky."
"Aite. If not tomorrow you gon be in hell with the other goons that tried to play with my money. You ain't gon be the first kill." I put the gun in my duffle bag and was on my way home.

I walked into our apartment and sat my shit down. Toni was touching on Denzel's hair and they were talking.

"Nothin'." She chirped.
"It's obviously something if Denzel dumb ass looking like that."

"Shut up. He in the zone." She let go of his dreads and sat on my lap.
"Ohhhh! So you the one I really need to be talking to." I adjusted myself and wrapped my arms around her waist.
"Yup, we was just talking about aliens."
I let go of her and pushed her off of me.
"Hehehehe!" Denzel pointed and laughed at Toni.
I chuckled.
"What the fuck?!" She sat up and rubbed her nose.
"Fuck outta here with that weird ass bull. You too lil nigga, you ain't safe."
"That wasn't funny!" She hit my leg and scooted away from me.
"You right. Come here and give me a hug. I'm sorrryyyy!" I kept laughing and held my arms out.
"No."
"I still got, a lot of fire left in meeeee!" Denzel sang.
I ignored him and grabbed Toni. She screamed and ran to the kitchen.
"Fine then, guess you don't wanna count this money..."
Her head popped out from the kitchen.
"What in the hell I thought. Bring that ass here!" I took out stacks of money and we counted. Denzel kept singing.
"Sippin' on gin and juiceeeee!"
"Bruh! Didn't even finish the first song you was singing!" I said. "And whatchu know about gin and juice?"
"Laiddddd backkkk!" He continued to sing. I slapped his head and he stopped.
"Done! Two k!" Toni said. "You made two k in four days!"
"Ain't too bad. We could do better if all of us have a job. I'm the only one doing something." I said.
"I wanna work at salsa deas." Denzel tangoed around the room.
"Denzel, it's Salsarita's and I wanna work at Starbucks!"
"Denzel, I ain't never gonna smoke with yo dumbass if you act like that and NO! The hell wrong with y'all?"
"Whatchu mean?" Toni asked while sitting cross legged on the floor.
"You gon be a stripper and Denzel weird ass gonna be my partner." I said
Toni busted out laughing. "Fuck I look like being a stripper? That's dead!"
