The life

The jungle

Take a ride through my city man and tell me what you witness. Poverty, richness , crooked cops and misfits, violence ,hatred ,real devastation neighborhoods looking like there's still segregation , welfare , single mother , no jobs , tryna get a piece for yourself but they hogging up the whole pie

-Jermaine

This is the way we live were not gangsters or thugs by choice. We were born into this ... My mom breaks her back to work for us . Yea I got a dad but he ain't my biological. My step pops that's the only nigga I ever knew. The fact that I ain't never met my biological kills me , like nigga we got the same blood running through our veins how could you just leave me. Not only my mom got her working 2 jobs . I always worrying because I don't want to go out in my hood after 9 so I damn sure don't want my mom, Doin it. But the post office wasn't paying enough so what a single mother to do but find a way . My step pops sends checks but he ain't there tho I understand he gotta work but still I just wish he was here ya know.
But for now im just gone gone hang with my boys. I walked down to the street to see my mans walking into the corner store.he saw me though

" what's up boy where you been" my man Shawn said

" nothing much what you doin today " I asked Cuz I was bored

" I heard it was gone be a fight in the apartments "

Jermaine- who fightin

Shawn -nigga does it matter

Jermaine- no but whatever lets go you ready

Shawn - you ain't gone get shit

Jermaine- nigga you know I'm broke

Shawn- nigga me to put some shit in yo pockets and let's bounce

With me just moving here from the Carolina. I felt like I always needed to do stuff that would make me cool I guess. So i got some damn takis and a snapple and put it in my cargos . We walked out like shit was normal .

???- hey wait

We looked back and saw the cashier coming towards us . I flipped him off and We took off to the apartments down the street where the fight was at. This nigga was still chasing us so we jumped the fence. Now me not being from here made me a bit slower . I've never seen so many fences in one place. We got over and waited to the side till we was sure.

Shawn - nigga you crazy how you gone steal from him then throw him the bird

Jermaine- Cuz his punk ass could have let us go . Got us running all around here . Jumping fences and shit .

Shawn- oh well come on let's go see who fighting.

We pulled out skateboards out of our backpacks And rolled over there. When we got there they was auguring.

" now what was all that shit you was talking about " the black one was saying while she was tying up her hair.i asked Shawn

Jermaine- aye do we know that girl

Shawn- yea they call her knowles I don't know what her real name tho

Jermaine- she fine

Shawn- man take yo old lightskin self on somewhere she mine

" I said I could beat your ass with my eyes closed and no body scared of your black ass so you can tie all that horse hair up " oh shit she got balls I don't think I've ever seen white girl in these parts. As soon as she Landed the first punch me and Shawn moved closer to get a better look. We watched thousands of fights but this ones feels different. Just then I heard a gun shoot. Shawn grabbed knowles and threw her over his shoulder. I led the way I couldn't tell you where we we're going we were just running. Till finally I ran out a breathe and we ended up at on Lamar shit.
