"Jumping off the front porch with a new approach, dont approach me with the bullshit . I remote to a location where the broom sit, here I go. Street sweeper Monday to Friday, if not tho' . We can  catch a fade" - Kendrick Lamar (Catch A Fade)

Some Dudes with black hoodies hopped out and started jumping the crew. One of the guys grabbed Kendrick and punched him to the ground. While Kendrick was on the ground , The guy tried to go through his pockets . Chad defeated his opponent and ran over to Kendrick , He pushed the guy away from kendrick and pulled Kendrick up. Two shots fired  and the guys in the black hoodies ran. Kendrick fell back and his eyes widened and Kanin yelled "CHAD!!!" 

Chad's knees buckled, he dropped to the ground . Kendrick holds him up and lets him down slowly "Chad wake up man! , CHAD!!" Kendrick yells as he tries to get up . Kanin walks over to Kendrick

"Damn!" 

"Yo We gotta get him to the Hospital" Dereez said.

"He's dead braH!

"Aww sHit" DeeReez said.

"He was my little brother!!" Kendrick cries out. 

DeReez starts to call up Tre... Tre pulled up in fifteen minutes, they put chad in the backseat of the 1964 chevy impala.  When they get to Community Hospital of Long Beach they rush inside. the doctors took in chad...

A few minutes later the doctor walks out "I'm sorry, but your friend is deceased, Is there any way you guys can get in touch with his parents?"  Kendrick gives the doctor the number.. In forty-five minutes Chad's mother shows up. They take her into the back to view the body of chad.  a few minutes later she walked out and hugged Kendrick , Dee and Kanin . A few hours later they leave the hospital.

They hop back in Tre's car. "Yo we need to get these niggas" De says.

"How  we gon do that?" Kanin says. We dont even know who did it..

"Yo We'll find out, dont worry about it right now." Kendrick says. "Yo Tre drop us by the studio." Kendrick says. 

They walk into the studio . They sat down for a while , while soul was getting high. Kendrick's mind started to drift, soon he was high off contact and was talking non stop... They fell asleep on the studio couch....

Kendrick woke early , the sun wasnt out yet. he hit the light , sat in Ali's chair, and wrote what he felt.

Don't Understand 

"Corners become monuments for the dead, Candles on the pavemenet, postcard read. Rest in peace, the yellow tape blockin' off the streets, A baby mama yellin' at the police. But you dont understand. You figure that were just a bunch of niggas but the picture here's a story untold. Y' see this wasn't in our plans. Babies from the late 8O's wasnt born crazy, we was raised that way, put that Malcom X book down then raise that K. Complete Chaos when we off X pills and St. Ides, Look the devil in the face, from a sane eye. Cast a spell on you like Akeelah an the Bee. Every killer in the streets is a teen with a corrupted mind Substance time is no longer an issue. We dont have it, so pass the tissue. Then close the casket, kiss the momma when you can, and tell her you understand, but you don't understand" .
