Drove past my old hood last night and thought about something that happened back in the day :sadcam:

This is summer 2008. I was 14 living in Brownsville at the time, and for those who don't know., Brownsville is one of, if not the grimiest hood in NYC. You could fukk around and get robbed by a dog in Brownsville :mjlol: and for that reason, even though I was young, my mom used to give me some leeway with my curfew because she didn't want me hanging out in the hood too much, and understood if I was gonna be in other places, then travel time would have to be factored in. so she was always cool with letting me go other places as long as I called ahead of time :blackblessed:

So I remember, I was hanging out in Sunset Park with some girl I was fukkin back then, and we chilled in the Park until around Midnight, and my curfew was 11:30. :blacksnoop: My step pops was calling my phone and I was gonna just lie and say I got stuck on the train and therefore, I didn't answer :mjpls:

I was wearing.

Playoff 8s

Telling you what I had on because it ties into the story :mjcry:

At 14, I was pretty big by then. At least 5'10 ish. Shed some of my baby fat I was feelin myself And looking at me you would probably think I was a bit older.

Then I hopped on the train, and was on my way back to my hood. Now, before you reach Brownsville, you hit Crown Heights. And Im not over there anymore, but back then, the 4 train used to stop at Crown Heights, and I used to have to wait for the 3 train to come and take it ONE stop. But that fukking train takes forever after 11, sometimes up to an hour so I was like :blackye: fukk it, Im just gone walk. :ehh:

Which my mom always told me not to do because I was young, and the walk home from there sometimes has trouble, but I was thinking "fukk It :childplease: fukk gone happen to me in a 10 minute walk home?"

So I disregarded my moms word, and walked down EP (Eastern Parkway) to go home.

I get out the station at about 1:30 or so. And I'm walking blastin' Kanye's Graduation in my ear. Can't hear shyt. Im Just walking down the block. I see the Park, and I think "If I cut through the park, I'll get in there in half the time. :krs:"

Which was my biggest mistake. YOU NEVER walk through Lincoln Terrace park solo at night time. But I did. :blacksnoop:

I'm walking and I can't hear a thing, and I get toward the end of the park and I see a group of people. So Im trying to see who are they and Im staring :leostare:

I take off my headphones and I heard this guy yell "Who MY nikkaS BE!!!!!!" and then I heard a group of nikkas yelll "CRIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!"

I've never immediately regretted a decision so fast. :sadcam: It would be me and my luck to be wearing all red and to walk into a goddamn crip convention or something. Who knew that gangstas congregated like that? :dahell: I mean these nikkas was everywhere :mjcry: They were sitting on benches, nikkas was sittin on the ground nikkas was sittin on water fountains and shyt. :mindblown: There was at least 35+ of them nikkas in that park.

I was thinking let me just turn around slowly and walk away, and as I was doing so, one of the nikkas said "Yooooooooo, my mans come here :birdman:"

I turned around and said "Me? :mjcry:"

He said "yeah you nikka, you the only one here right come here? :birdman:"

Now I was thinking maybe I should just run :patrice:, but the way home was in the direction that they were in and on top of that shyt, if they caught me, It'd be a wrap anyway :mjcry: And I couldn't bring myself to run. My mind was like ":damn: run nikka lets go" but my legs were like ":umad: nikka you aint going nowhere"

So I start walking toward this blue sea of death. Getting a little closer to shytting myself with every step that I took.

And I could here nikkas in the background being super sarcastic

"aha yeah nikka you fukked up :smugfavre:"

"He know what it is Cuz:smugfavre:"

"bout that time nikka :smugfavre:"

And I walk onto the basketball courts, and this BIG ASS nikka EMERGES.

nikka must have been like 6'6 250. He had to be the leader of that group of nikkas because you could just feel that they all respected him. Big deebo looking MF that probably did the 4th grade 5 times or some shyt.

He looks at me up and down

He says to me "Watchu doing over here lil nikka :birdman:"

I said "I-I-I'm just going home :lupe:"

He said "You ain't in a rush. We short a man for this game we bout to run. We need another nikka to play :birdman:"

I didn't even wanna tell this big ass nikka no. I mean I knew I was late, but I told him yeah right away. :mjcry: I didn't wanna die.

So we start playing 3 on 3 ball, and no lie, I was just letting this nikka score :mjlol: He wasn't shyt in ball either, but I was just Kissin' his ass the whole time. Sayin shyt like

"Wow good shot breh :mjcry:"

"Damn, And-1, I can't guard that :mjcry:"

"Such a good shot, you mad nice :mjcry:"

"Yep I knew it was cash before it even went in. That right there is God Gifted :mjcry:"

"Yo you played in College Before or something, that form too clean :mjcry:

Im missin lay ups on purpose and shyt,

trying to do whatever I could to not get these nikkas mad.

We played a game for like 20 minutes and then my phone rang. And it was my mom, and I wasn't going to answer it because I didn't know if I was allowed to :mjcry:

The big crip goes "Answer that shyt, its annoying :birdman:"

So I did, and it was my mom. :blacksnoop:

My busted ass Sidekick LX

only worked on Speaker Phone so I answered it and as soon as I did she started barking on me. :to:

"WHERE THE HELL YOU AT? GET YO BLACK ASS HOME. SEE THIS IS WHY I NEVER LET YOU GO OUT NOWHERE BECAUSE YOU TAKE ADVANTAGE. BOY IF YOU AINT HOME IN 15 MINUTES YOU GONE WISH---- OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :ohlawd: YOU BETTER JUST GET YO ASS HOME. NAOWWWWWWW!"

The big crip nikka motions me to give him the sidekick, I thought I wasn't gone get it back :mjcry: and he says "That's yo moms" and I said "yeah" He takes the phone and says "Hey, How You Doing :birdman: Ima make sure yo son get home now. He got into a lil trouble at the park with some boys messin' with him but he gone be home in a few minutes"

My mom said "Is he alright? Thank you so much. I really appreciate it"

Asks what block I live on and she told him, probably thought he was a cop or something :mjlol:

Then he hands me the phone back. My mom hung up.

He says to me, "We going down Pitkin anyway, you gone come with us :birdman: Thats wassup that you gotta mama that care like that :birdman: gotta respect mom dukes :birdman: and next time you late, you call and make sure so she dont be worried and shyt. :birdman:"

This thug nikka had a heart :mjlol: They all had hearts :gladbron: The whole walk home I was talking to 2 of them, and they were all thoughtful considerate thugs :heh:

One of the dudes told me they knew I was a lil nikka as soon as they saw me. And wasn't even gonna fukk with me or nothing.


I ended walking home with MAD of these crip nikkas and my mom and my brother were waiting infront of my building like :ohhh::dwillhuh::dahell:

These nikkas dropped me off, and the big nikka "Be safe lil nikka. Don't be out here in these streets :birdman:"

I looked back and was like "Already know :birdman: I see you around" then gave most of them daps

Then they all left :blackye:

I looked at my older brother like

Still got in trouble though, because he had told her I was in the park, which I wasn't supposed to walk through, but nothing major :blackblessed:

:laff: that story was great Breh. When I moved to Brooklyn, I was working in the city and had to take the 4 back to crown heights/Utica late at night. And that shyt would have me on my toes most times cause them crip niccas would be lurking.
