Remember back in the days When niggas ha waves gazelle shades and corn braids. Pitching pennies honnies had the high top jellies, shooting skelley mothafuckas was all friendly. LOunging at the barbque drinking brewS with the neighbourhOod crews hanging on te avenues. Turn your pages to 1993 niggas is getting smOked g. Believe me. Talk slick you get your neck slit quick, cause real street nigas ain't havin that shit.
