TOO TIGHT!

Can't write shit this real. Lesson: Be kind to people.

So let's start this off with a little tale about me on the metro about a month ago. maybe less. So i was on the metro minding my business when this homie came up and asked to use my telephone. Knowing how cunning people are in paris about stealing shit i was nervous but i figured...maybe he just needs to use the phone cause he's trying to get at his homies. So i gave it to him. the thing that made me the most nervous was it was him and his friend and his friend was following us. To make it short, he made like 3 calls and sent a text and then was like "merci mon frere." (thanks my brotha.) done.

Now for tonight. So i got off the bus at Etoile and was walking to av. kleber and saw that my bus wasn't coming for a minute so since it's a short 20 min walk back to my place i just walked. bout 2 blocks down the street i got approached by a group of 3 homies. thuged out in all black parisian gear, leather jackets, hats, bandanas. They asked me for a cig and i said all i got is the packet of tabaco and papers. they were like "fuck that" and walked on. then the rest of their group came up and was like yo you got a cig. i said the same thing and they were like "whatever give me it". so i gave them the packet and i realized that homie that used my phone in the metro was there. he took the tabaco and papers and i gave him two filters and then his homie was like "yo you let him use your phone?" and i said "yea" so he asked if he could send a text. i gave him the phone and he ran off. but homie from the metro was like "Hey don't do him like that fool don't do him like that" so he came back like "nah i was joking just joking." gave my phone back to me. then this other fool, a real light skinned man in a bandana around his face and beanie (i could only see his eyes and an eyebrow piercing he had) was like "yo yount goin to call the po huh?" and i was like "uh...why would i do that?" and he said "alright then" and the guy who was the second guy that originally asked me for a cig was like... i guess it translated like "be easy." and i said "you too" and then i said later to homie from the metro. Damn!

All i can think about from this is that if i had Not let that guy use my phone i would be 40 euros, walet, plastic money, student id card, lighter, probably beanie, phone, and pass navigo (an all-use metro/bus pass) lighter than i was before they ran up on me 10 or 15 deep. i called up my man marc about 5 min after and he said he could hear the adreneline in my voice. sick.

I just want to say that if you're in that situation, don't get shook. Be good to others and you got the chance of them being good to you. the prophet Jesus (my man), along with about every other religion-founder, taught this. use it. people will like you more.

Next time though, when i see a group coming up deep i'll pull up my pants and tighten the belt though. I got some speed and if you don't think that's the best fighting tactic, you're wrong.

Songs that are good if you deal with shit sometimes or most times.
Shook Ones - Mobb Deep
Against All Odds ft. Tupac - Trae

ps. death...bump that..anyone can do that. life is so rich. live it well. be real; be good.
