Or you could just not go back
I recently made the move to Manhattan and you couldn't pay me To spend any real time n my old hood. Last time I went back was to pick up something important. As far as hanging out over there? Hell nah. For what? Trouble will find you anyway, there's no point in looking for it.
I be in and out and I been in the same spot for years...i say what up and go either to the crib or my destination..
i even try to avoid certain people
