TOW: The Little Boy ~
There was this little boy, Andre, I think, and he was so being a bitch to my little sister Micaela. I was like 5, and I completely bitched him out and then slapped him. His dad saw and I was afraid his dad was going to yell at me so I hid behind my computer desk for like two hours until I thought it would be safe to come out.
We was tryin so hard, hard to survive
Cause even though we were young,
We had to stay strong,
No matter what we went through,
It was me and my crew,
And thats how it went when we were kids
TOW: School Lunches ~
School lunch at Snug Harbor was always the highlight of the day. Everybody was taught not to waste food, so if you didn't like something you didn't throw it out. You would strike a bargain with somebody else, like sausage links for french toast sticks. By mid-year you knew what food you would be getting from someone, especially since we had assigned seats. LIke you could always count on the kid sitting next to you to trade that food you hate for something you love. It was like, as soon as everyone got out of the lunch line, the trading would begin.
TOW: The Cement Steps ~
I had this awesome bike, which thinking back wasn't so great but then it was. Well one day I woke up and my bike was gone. So naturally, like any ghetto kid would, I decided to go around to all the houses until I found my bike. I found bike close by and brought it back. Then the kid who took it came back to take it again! But I was prepared, my sister, me and my "cousins", kicked that litte boy's ass! Then we through him down the cement basement stairs and took pictures of his sorry ass. Hahaha!
We was Y-o-U-n-G
We was D-u-M-b
But we had H-e-A-r-T
We survived in the D-a-R-k
Through the B-a-D-p-A-r-T-s
