"Oh Nawll nawll I told you I'm all in. I'm serious bout getting this money." Vonte responded noticing Spazz was staring at the bag.

"Did what's the problem yungeen?" Spazz asked lighting his blunt.

"Shit moms put me out , sumn bout she oun want no drugs in her house & some going down the wrong path like my daddy bullshit." Vonte mumbled scratching his head.

"Like yo daddy, Oh Janae was on one this morning fasho. And what you said to her when told you this, you agree with her?" Spazz questioned.

"I mean I can see why she feel that way but I ain't that nigga. He was weak, a real coward even as a child I could see that, he ain't wanna realize the consequences of his actions so deflected that shit upon us, lashing out with rage and shit. Shit I told her like it is I'm aware of what comes with this shit and this the chance I'm willing to take for a better life. The day I killed my daddy I knew my life would be this way but I made the choice to make the best of it. My fate is my fate we all gotta expiration date but I'm knowing ima die rich."
