Transcript

You you say, oh, no. Don't touch me. And he, you know what you do? Kick him in the balls. Run like shit. He run after you, take a whole can of better mace. Pull that shit till it no. Right? And we're here on the floor screaming. Rank him if he's in duress. Guess what? He's not gonna answer because you don't empty that whole fucking can in his throat. Alright? Reach into his wallet, take his money and his ID, take a photo, throw it back at him. Right? Because on a random Tuesday, when you feel like spinning a block on his ass, you could do so because you know where he stay at. And that's my fucking thoughts on that.
