Sit Down @ Wally’s Drive-Thru — Kingsway

“ You gotta understand talking to people at the wrong times can get you K@lled. Its not what you think that matters. Its what the PARANOID think …

And when there’s blood in the streets and everyones running for cover. Its weakest and slowest that first get e@ten.

So you have to see these things before others. You have to see the ripple before it turns into a wave. By then it might be too late …

And thats experiencing talking. I’ve learned a few things sliding down the hill of sin. It’s only in hindsight that the subtleties become obvious. So its better I tell you this now. To prime your senses. Instead of you learning this while banging your head against the prison wall.

So don’t caught slipping for no one. Because when you take the HEAT. You take that on your own. And thats a lonely place. “

He was the only guy I listened to. He had his way with his words. He got the message across without getting too angry. He had mad respect in the streets. People respected his cool calm demeanour. It you made you feel slightly invincible.

When he was a kid coming up. They joked that he was made out of marble. Nothing would faze him. You could call him at 4am and would be ready ….

He was the closest thing to a father I ever knew. But I could never tell him that …

I could never let my guard down and be seen soft.
