Damarion- so what’s good my nigga you got my money or not?

Darius- I’m sorry bro but I ain’t got it trust me I will give it to you.

Damarion- you ain’t got it! Nigga you better find some way to get my money or I’m gonna do something I might regret.

Narrator- wait let’s start from the beginning. It all began in the dirty streets of Oakland, California. Life was hard and the city was filled with crime and for a young mother named Rachel summers life wasn’t going good for her either.

Arron- you know the deal now where my money at?

Rachel- don’t worry I got it, you got what I need?

Arron- yeah I got it.

Later that night

Damarion- ma, ma, ma!

Rachel- what you yelling for boy you better shut up!

Damarion- are you high again? Man! You gonna be one of them drug addicts who can’t do nothing for themselves, just sitting in yo own puke! What kind of mom are you anyway? Wish you would just rot and die!

Rachel- boy don’t talk to me like that I’m yo ma, but you don’t care it’s always about you aint it. You aint ever gonna be nothing you gonna still be living in my house and as long as you live here you gonna be under my rules.

Darius- would yall stop fighting some people still sleep in this house

Rachel and Damarion- shut up!

The next day

Damarion- really some weed bullet! What you want me be like my moms. You buggin nigga. Thought I could count on you now I see yo true colors.

Bullet- whatever you got one time to be on my side of town and you mine. Nigga what kind of friend is you to me any way now leave nigga.

Damarion- man you think I care about yo headache right now I’m tired of you always getting high and acting like a child you’re supposed to be my mom I’m done, I’m tired of coming home to this every day.

Rachel- what’s eating you, you come home with an attitude every day and what I do is my business not yours so stop worrying or get out.

Damarion- fine I know when I aint wanted any way who wants to live with you anyway, what you gonna do when you aint got my check to buy yo speed.

Damarion’s thoughts

Seem like the whole world against me, and what I do to deserve it. What did I do wrong? Feel like I’m being punished in some type of way for something. I feel like a bum no money depending on a drug addict for a means of living. I need to depend on myself for what I need. I need to get my own money and I know just the way to do it. I’m just tired of needing other people to get where
