Me: People always tryna look like us. It's a reason mufuckas go tanning kid. Mufuckas don't go tannin jus because. It's a reason wyte joints gettin ass injections and lip injections. it's a reason they gettin ribs removed to b curvier. that shytt aint jus because. u think people rock OUR styles jus cuz. If Pharell rocked a koofi, i bet u'll c wyte boys gettin koofies leff n rite. We the most sought after beings on this fuckin planet yo. No matter where we go we hated, but more imitated than anything. people go out on a damn limb tryna b us(niggas noddin summore) real talk son.
