exactly....see you are old school like me. When I grew up "out there" I noticed really quick these mofo's wanted to "kill me" if I kicked their a$$ at school or something. Don't get me wrong. I had my boys who were "deep in the game" and would "look out for me when gunplay was there" or my older bros who was into the game..etc
but I was an athlete...I played sports.etc. I wasn't known for that street sh*t just grew up in it, but these fools would talk sh*t and get an a$$ beating now they want to run and get a fu*king gun to kill me. No honor...don't talk sh*t if you can't take the beating coming afterwards.
I have never felt good about fighting anybody in an unorganized setting...it's dangerous and makes no sense..yet these bastards find satisfaction in it. Street cred. my a$$...I was known as not a gang banger, not a drug dealer, nota gun carrier....just a cool dude growing up in the hood that is trying to make it but you got these a$$holes like on the film that I constantly had to deal with b/c they were SOFT CHUMPS with NO HEART.
Those hoes in the background aint sh*t either. lol...they prob think this is how a man is suppposed to act. pathetic..fk em all. Glad I left "the hood" before I killed a mofo and ended up in prison.
It's just a crying shame man...seriously
I hear you my older brother was an Eastside Piru, so I was always around that shit. I dabbled in slangin a little, but most of the time stuck to my Martial Arts and Football and Basketball. I laugh now a days. The fellas that my brother ran around with always had my back, but they were always pulling shit like this. Just like the rest of the knuckleheads in the streets. I saw a couple of dudes catch some good ass beatings that were fair, but for the most part it was chickenshit like this.
Only got in a few fights growing up, 10-15. Took some good shots and gave some to. Funny thing is, when you whoop one of the Ghetto boys asses he does one of two things. (Like you said) Goes and gets a gun or gets his "Homies" or talks mad shit and says that something happened that made him loose the fight.
Had a guy start shit with my buddy and long story short he got his ass beat for messing with my friend (my buddy just had knee surgery so I stepped in) after words he told me "you don't tell anyone you whooped my ass or we will have problems" I was like whatever, the next day I heard from everyone that the reason why he got his ass beat was because he was drunk..
Now a days I laugh when I see guys like this trying to get tough. Half of them can't throw a punch and the other 1/4 can't take one.. All loud and act crazy, but it's just an act!
