Bad Boy- An August Alsina Story

The Prize

Dontae's P.O.V

Work

Another day another dollar. Even though I love my job, I wish I had more time for my friends. I haven't spoken to shauntae, or zah-hai in aver a month. I finished packing away the toys and mopped the floor before I walked out, locking the door behind me. I was so excited when I first opened my own nursery, and I love it, but I need a more reliable staff.

I walked out to my car while fumbling around the bottom of my bag for the keys. I finally found them and unlocked my car. I hopped in and closed the door behind me while starting up my car. I started driving home listening to the radio and singing along as august alsina went on singing Downtown.

Dontae: *singing*

phone just ring, heard a nigga got got

He was over in the east, last thing that he heard six shots

He aint get no love from the cops nobody got caught. Real talk when I heard who it was, heart damn near stopped

Somebody just kill my brother

Now I gotta get back

Letting off cuz a nigga gotta feel that

Sittin shotgun with the shotgun

When you hear the shots come nigga, don't run

Already bad, it can only get worse

Hand fulla steal cuz thea shit still hurt

Cut so deep when we put him in the hearse

Never saw twenty-five had to put him in the dirt

*phone rings*
