Fights. The kids I came up with all used to fight in the neighborhood. But we were cool with each other it was really just toughening us up. But other kids used to fight us too all the time too, especially at school. After awhile we realized they was just kids from other hoods ****in with us. So that kind of turned into an us against them thing.
I eventually moved just outside of the bad part of the hood on my side of town, a bit nicer area, still the west just no mold in the house. But Im meeting new people and being in different crowds. Expanded me more as a person. I still saw everybody but not as often since I wont in the heart of it no more. And them same kids that ****ed with us then would still **** with me when they seen me because I was still a west side ***** to them. They started jumping me and everything. They was doing my guys like that too, we just didn't know at the time.
Around high school time was when the kids I came up with, and them that came up and used to **** with us started to get plugged in to whatever it was on they side or whatever. I had met this chick that had me on a new wave of trying to better myself or whatever, so I calmed down a lot. Since I won't around my guys I ain't never get plugged like they did, but because them other guys from other hoods were gansters too on they side. I ended up in some real life or death situations in high school, all because of where I was from, and also because I was still a hothead.
In high school I was basically that black dude that talked to everybody, hung with some of everything, could've reminded you of a white guy, but he still a hood *****. For whatever that was worth
