Grove Street

The Ville

       The Ville is one of those never judge a book by it's cover hoods. Like nice homes, nice cars manicured lawns and shit but real gutta ass niggas was raised in them mini mansions. If you didn't know where you were going driving through alleways that look like streets. There were beautiful parks and playgrounds behind the houses I mean damn the Ville is what 10 blocks from Grove Street and all we had was liquor stores and dope fiends.

Satin: "Damn cousin you ever been around here before you know since you and Brandon have been together since long?"

Tanya: "I mean Lisa from Edgewood does my weave, and you know Beezie Baby lives up here with his mama so yeah I been around sort of."

Satin: So you knew about the parks and shit back here? Auntie never let me come accross the bridge when I was young shit I never left the Grove until I started dancing."

Tanya: Hold up Cousin you never saw it then have you?

Satin: Saw what Cousin I haven't really ever seen anything up here except riding through on the bus.

Tanya: "Excuse me Steve honey, could you ride around to Hamilton Estates I think it's time Satin Saw where she comes from."

Satin: "What are you talking about cousin? I know where I'm from shit we all know born and raised on Grove Street"

Tanya: "No cousin see Tank ya Daddy he was the man My Uncle yeah he was Grove Street but when he married yo mama he made sure he never let her lay her head where he made his money. He said she and you deserved more than walking over junkies and liquor stores on every corner. See my daddy was Uncle Tanks Shadow and shit changed when he died for everybody. You know ya dad kept he hood fed literally. Cousin y'all are hood Royalty. Travis, Cynt, and Satin Hamilton are Legendary. Why you think Mamie gets so many passes in the hood boo it's not cus she's your Auntie it's because You're her niece. "

Satin: Just then they pulled up to a gated mansion with a large Gold H on the Gate I mean the hedges where so high no one could see anything I stepped out of the car walked up to the gate. And a voice comes over the speaker. May I help you? "I responded "I think This is my house." The voice over the speaker says, And you are? I'm Satin Raine Hamilton. The gate opened."

   Lettie: Where Tf is my baby at? Lemme FaceTime her sexy ass.

Satin: Baby you wouldn't believe where I am right now.

Lettie: "No I wouldn't baby since you were supposed to be here 30 minutes ago."

Satin: "But baby I'm at the house my dad built for my mother and I OMG I haven't seen this house since I was a child, I didn't even remember it."

Lettie: Baby are you at Hamilton Estates?

See the love Big L had for Tank was real like they was brothers. Blood couldn't be closer. But this nigga June Bug is driving His baby girls car. Tank had just best the shit Outta that nigga the night before. So my dad walked up on JuneBug and asked him where Tank was. He made up some shit about him out fucking a hoe so he let him push the Bentley. See my dad knew how much Tank hated June Bug and how he was only alive because of the twins. So my dad slow walked June Bugs ass shot that nigga 7 times but like a cockroach that bitch nigga came back and his wife had already had your mom arrested for killing your dad and no one knew where you were until I told my dad I fell in love with you."

Satin: I couldn't  believe what I was hearing and the look on Jeffrey face all but confirmed Lettie's story. "So you're saying my mom's been in prison because Mamie and June Bug set my parents up"? Baby are you telling me this shit seriously can we prove this or will my mom Be in prison forever"?

Lettie: "Baby don't worry, I asked you to come up here today because my dad called,  the charges against your mom have been dropped. Some time last week while we just so happened to be in New York, JuneBug walked up in The Southwestern district Police station and confessed to the crime ad actually had the murder weapon with him. To be honest I'm glad you're here your mom is on her way here my Mom who was your mom's best friend and the only person who visited your mom in the past 11 years.
