It's a cold night, and I've been standing here for at least 8 hours straight. Business has been okay, but it wasn't as booming as I would expect it to be.
I've only earned 1k, and I need at least 3, to appease the boss, OG Makaveli.
See, OG Makaveli AKA, OG Mack, is the most powerful drug lord in America. He is said to be the smartest black man to set foot in this country. He was wise enough to open up business in South Carolina, and he is the reason SC leads the nation in crime.
After opening business, he appointed a left hand, (Quan) a Capo (Shawn) and a right hand, (Me, BG Makaveli, AKA Mak.)
We are the head honchos, and handle the biggest business. It is because of us, that South Carolina has been nicknamed Drill City.
OG Mack would always talk about how we'd first take over Drill City, then America, then, the whole world. He always said, if we start small, we'll end big. His determination and fearlessness rubbed off on us, and we adopted his motto, "Fear no man who bleeds too"
