After lil bit left I too decided to get up. I some business to take care of and them fools blasting at us was first on my agenda, but not before I called my mama.

Picking up my white and gold Iphone I quickly went to her name bring the cold device up to my ear waiting for her to answer.

“Hello Kenny is that you?” She asked loudly. Smiling brightly I answered my mama. “Yes ma’am how you doing?” I asked. I can always count on my mama to keep it real with me.

“I’m fine how are you? I heard someone got the shooting over there by you.” She said

See this woman knows everything. She always kept her foot in the street since I was a younging.

“Yeah mama they came from nowhere just starting blasting at me and the crew.” I shook my head just thinking about it. Rotten low down dirty dogs.

“Was Khaliah with you?” She asked

“Yeah.” I replied

“Aw lawd now you know you suppose to keep that girl safe!” She yelled

“Ma, I know.” I said putting my hand up as if she could see me

“Well what you gone do?” She asked

“Me Nip and the rest of the crew riding down there this morning.” I told her

“Well alright son handle your business don’t let no one run up on your turf.” She said in a demanding tone

“Yes ma’am” My mama ain’t raise no punk

“Is Kali there now? Let me talk to my baby.” I could hear the smile in her voice

“She ain’t here mama, she went to school.” I said

“I’m always calling when she ain’t around.” She said making me laugh

“Well I’ll have her call you tonight once we get in from dinner.” I said

“Dinner?” She asked

“Yeah...We need to talk about some things, a lot’s gonna be changing from now on.” I spoke as if I was talking to Kali

“Finally you gone tell that girl how you feel. Y’all been in love since y’all first met.” she said cursing under her breathe making me laugh

“Yeah I’ma tell her how I feel,she started tripping after we seen Sharane-” She cut me off

“When you seen that dirty little tramp?” She asked being nicer than she normally is towards Sharane.

“She just popped up out of no where yesterday.” I said and for the first time everything fell together. We got shot at before Sharane came, talking about she was just ‘around the hood’ she set us up. Feeling livid I no longer was listening to my mothers words.

“Ma I’ll call you back.” I cut her off mid-sentence hanging up, knowing that I would pay for that later, but now wasn’t the time to think about that. My fingers dialed faster than my brain could think. Bringing the phone back up to my ear Nipsey’s deep voice came through.

“YO.” He answered

“Yerp, you up?” I asked

“Yeah wassup?” He asked

“Come take a ride with me.” I replied

********

Taking in my surrounds of the dirty slums I was currently sitting in I shook my head.
