04:50But Pistol Pete, he was a baller.
04:53He was nice.

05:09I lost my memory.
05:10Glock K and a FN, that's a Trinity.
05:13I just turned into any Giffy's.
05:14I met Mr. B's.
05:16I just ran into the plug, told him zipper me.
05:18Mr. B's is a store in Flint.
05:20It's like a store in the hood.
05:21It used to be a Mr. Allen.
05:23Mr. Allen, you go like two days before school started.
05:26You go to Mr. Allen, you get the khakis, you get the black pants, you get the shoes.
05:31They had the baby names back then.
05:33The little dicky fits.
05:34You feel me?
05:35The little dicky fits.
05:36That's right around the corner from my pop script.
05:38But they turned that to a Mr. B's.
05:51When I set a person to go for myself, I accomplished it.
05:53That's what make me feel like him.
06:01I got a slick back.
06:02I'm a pimp, nigga.
06:03I mean, Johnny Flynn used to be the man, especially when I was in middle school.
06:06He went to Syracuse.
06:08He was that dude.
06:10And then when he got to the league, you feel me?
06:12He got drafted over Steph.
06:13I don't know what happened, but hopefully he make his way back.
06:16Hopefully he overseas and stuff, doing his thing.
06:19But he was that dude.
06:20You know what I'm saying?
06:21Some people fall off.
06:22That's just how it is.
06:23Put a bean in my water.
