Street Life

Chapter 1

Before everything

I sat in my run down projects in Baton Rouge Louisiana, bobbing my head to the music niggas played out their chevy's, singing along silently. I'm tryna' think of where ima be staying tonight cus' my momma strung out and live in a dope house and my daddy right there wit'her.

"Yo Dre!" I heard ManMan yell from down the street

I stood up waving my hands in a "wassup" motion. "what it is nigga?!" I started off in his direction

"Shit mane, tryna see what you doing... You tryna make some money?" He asked. ManMan was the younger brother of one of the sickest dope dealers in the game, so when he said make money I knew it wasn't nothing good.

I sighed as I scratched over my nappy hair that really needed to be cut. "Mane I'm always dowm to make some money, you see how I'm living?" I motioned towards the clothes I had on that I'd been wearing for two days. "Nigga I'm down for whatever."

I know that whatever we was gonna do was gonna be bad, but I need money and if there's anyway to get it... I'm doing it. "That's my lil' nigga, aye be where I can find you roun' like... eleven tonight and ima get atchu dawg." I nodded my head as like to say I agree then I went on bout my way... "just wait till 11'." I thought to myself.

When eleven o'clock finally came around I sat where I was earlier today and soon enough a grey impala playing loud music came flying down the street.

"Yes I am Yes I am Yes I am Yes I am I my brothers keeper? Yes I am Yes I am Yes I am Yes I am I ride for you nigga! I'd die for you nigga! And if I get caught I'll do the time for you nigga! I ride, ride, ride for you, cause you my thug, I know you'd do the same for me too, cause I'm yo thug."

The car came to a stop and the music turned down and ManMan went to get out the car till his brother put his hand up, not allowing him to do so. "Get in, lil' nigga." He said. I nodded my head getting into the car and before I could close the door all the way he started driving. Smooth been runnin' shit roun' here for a couple years now... Nigga ain't neva moved off the block though, just can't take a street nigga out the streets I guess. But he a quiet dude, he don't talk much him and ManMan got the same momma' and when she was murdered in drive-by he just had to find out who did it. He'd sit in his room for days straight and wouldn't come out just plottin' his next move, when he found out who did it he killed him, but not before killing his moms infront of him so he can "know how it feels."

The car ride was quiet other then Lil Boosie rapping in the background, eventually we came to a stop and he threw me a gun... It was heavy.

"Shoot errybody you see, and if you find anything worth taking its yours." With that he got out the car and so did me and ManMan, ManMan looked nervous but not me... I was ready, ready for some money, anything I was just ready.

Smooth kicked in the door and there were three men in the living room watching this girl strip, she wasn't cute in the face but she had a nice body. I shot her first cause' she was distracting me wit' her cat all out like that, then I shot one of the niggas on the couch while Smooth shot the other two. Smooth looked at ManMan for a moment and give him a deadly stare but continued upstairs anyway, I picked up all the money they was throwing at the girl. "These niggas is ballin'" I thought still picking it up. I also went and took the remaining money that was in their hands, ManMan ole bitch ass went outside to puke. Everybody aint made fa' dis shit I guess. I went upstairs to see smooth making some dude with no clothes on open a safe. I looked back to see a naked girl with a bullet right in the middle of her eyes making me chuckle realizing we ruined their good time. Smooth looked at me and signaled for me to come towards him, when I did the man moved to the wall because he was finish opening the safe.
