"Aight man, I'll hol at you later." He responded putting out the lit end of his blunt.
Remote starting my car, I hopped in deciding to check my phone while the air began to circulate. It was almost summer and it was hot as hell in New Orleans, had me second-guessing settling down here.

"I need you Dre...I don't know if that means much to you, but I need you." Then it ended.
