IT'S OVER I AM FROM THE OLD SCHOOL. I STARTED "CRIPPIN'" WHEN I WAS A 7TH GRADER AT HENRY CLAY JR. HIGH SCHOOL IN SOUTH LOS ANGELES. THAT WAS IN 1978-79. I WAS HANGIN' ROUND G'S SINCE I WAS YOUNGER THAN THAT. SO I AM REALLY FROM THE OLD SCHOOL. I REMEMBER WHEN IT WAS NO C'S & B'S , JUST SETS THAT STOOD ALONE. THE CHAIN GANG , THE SLAUSONS , COMPTON PIRU , EAST- SIDE AND WEST- SIDE. IN MY HOOD WE USED TO SAY CUZZMOE OR BLOOD, IT DIDN'T MATTER. THEN ONE DAY IN 7TH GRADE ALL OF THE SUDDEN NIGGAS COULDN'T SAY BLOOD NO MORE. AND CUZZMOE TURNED INTO PLAIN CUZZ. AND NIGGAS COULDN'T WEAR RED NO MORE. I SHOT MY FIRST ENEMY WHEN I WAS 13 YEARS OLD AND I DIDN'T LIKE IT ALL THAT MUCH. SO I "STOPPED" FULL TIME BANGIN' BY THE TIME I WAS 14. I STAYED AFFILIATED BECAUSE I WAS "DOWN" FOR MY HOMIES DEFENSE. I CAUGHT ALOT OF BEEF FROM SOME BECAUSE I WOULD FIGHT BUT WOULDN'T DO DRIVE- BYS. BUT MOST RESPECTED MY CHOICE BECAUSE THEY KNEW I PUT IN MY WORK IF I HAD TO. BUT THE WHOLE THING IS OVER. AIN'T NO MORE BANGIN' FOR LOVE LIKE THAT. NOW THEY BANG SO THEY WON'T BE A VICTIM. I HAD TO STAND STRONG IN MY CHOICE, BUT THESE CATS TODAY IS WEAK. TRYING TO IMPRESS THEY ON-LOOKERS. BANGING FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS. AND WHEN I WAS THUGGIN', SHOOTIN' WAS THE LAST RESORT, NOW IT'S THE FIRST. THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO THEY SHOOT OR WHY, THEY JUST TRYING TO LOOK NUTTY TO THEMSELVES AND OTHERS. THAT IS SOME FAKE PUNK-ASS SHIT. REAL BANGING IS DEAD AND GONE. IT PLAYED OUT IN '89. SO, ALL YOU WANNA-BE G'S NEED TO CHECK YOUR HEARTS AND FIND THE REAL YOU WHO YOUR MOMMA GAVE A GOOD NAME TO, AND PUT THE "TRADITION" AWAY. IT IS ALL OVER MY NIGGAS, THE WAR IS A DRAW !!! BOTH SIDES LOSE . C-BOB . |
