Only in the Bronx

The Bronx is a city like no other.

Buildings painted and ruined with graffiti, people scared to come out of their own homes because of the crimes going on outside.

A place where you always wanted to be the man, but being the man might even be your demise.

One always wanted to be the man of its crew.

But the day I was assigned to be my own man was the day I hung my head in shame.

All I could do was ask myself was, "How could I face my family now?"

All Ma ever wanted for me was the best for me even with the little money she had and now it seems that I am the richest man in the Bronx, she won't even accept my pocket change.

She said she rather "starve than eat off" my "dirty money" and here's to why my money is so filthy."
