I live in New York now. I moved to New York like the, um, in the mail. You know, but I'm from Chicago, but I moved to New York, but... My dumb ass moved there right in time for the power outage.
That was the bullshit. Because I didn't even know it was a power outage. My power had been off the past two weeks, you know. People outside yelling, the power's out, the power's out. I'm thinking they making fun of me.
I'm yelling out the window like, mind your business, shit. Waiting on a check. People in New York, I know they is hell. That's cool, you know. Like Sugar Bear said, I am from Chicago, born and raised on the south side of Chicago, you know.
I come from a big family, man. My mother had 19 brothers and sisters. Yeah, that's what my grandmother said every nine months. Woo, damn! But it was cool being from a big family, because nobody messed with you, you know.
Because it was a lot of you. And when you were little, you always had somebody to play with, but it was messed up stuff in our family, like on your birthday. Because I came from one of those families, believed in birthday licks.
You know, that's a hit for every year, man. I mean, you got that many people in your family, man. Birthday licks is like a gang initiation. I mean, you seven years old, fighting off about 78 people. Because it's your birthday, and my grandmother sitting there talking about, open that punk's chest up.
Quick crying, you sissy. Bam! Pick his ass up, I got six smokes, somebody watch my greens, I'mma be out here for a minute, shit. We had messed up rules at the dinner table. How many of y 'all, you guys remember this, don't drink none of your Kool -Aid till you finish eating all your damn food?
That was the bullshit, wasn't it? But why would they torture you and sit that Kool -Aid right in front of you? Like, touch it if you want, watch me beat your ass. You sitting there eating all that dry as cornbread.
You wanna grab your Kool -Aid, you can see sweat rolling down the glass. Three of my cousins died from that shit. Meatloaf with two dry dates, choked to death. We had to feel it like, grandmama hate all of us, you know, she don't want none of us around.
Going grocery shopping was messed up. How many of you guys had those mothers or grandmothers would take you grocery shopping on Saturday, mess up your whole Saturday? I mean, you leave, it's dark outside, you get back, it's dark outside.
Because they wanna go to 10 or 12 different stores all over the city because they got ground beef on sale over here, baby. See, I like the way they cut their deli meat. You like, damn, mama, we still in America! See why daddy don't never come?
Because this is the bullshit right here. But it was only two good reasons to go grocery shopping with mom and grandmama on Saturday. Number one, if you went and they kept you out all day, they took you to a little McDonald's or something, they got you something to eat.
They took care of you. Yeah, made sure you had enough energy to carry all them damn bags in the house. And number two, this was most important, if you went, you got to pick out the cereal. Shit, that was the shit!
Picking out the cereal for two reasons. Number one, if you picked out the cereal, whatever prize was in that cereal box, that was your prize. You were like, don't even fuck with it. You ain't even waiting for them to eat the cereal.
You will open it up and dig your shit out. Like, y 'all can eat that bullshit. Now I got my decoder ring. I'll be talking to Flags Gordon all day, thank you. Then number two, let mama and grandmama go by themselves.
They not coming back with no good cereal. No Captain Crunch with Crunch Berries. No Fruit Loops, no Honey Combs. It's whatever bullshit was on sale. How many of y 'all remember them big ass bags of puff weed? That cheap ass cereal?
You put three of them in a bowl and soak up all the milk like shh. Mama, there's some bullshit. Your cousins don't want to spend the night cause you got cheap ass cereal. You put the sugar on top, it go right to the bottom. Now you trying to drink your milk is like drinking sugary quicksand.
