MC_Kay's Notes
A (mostly) true story
Walked in the building, mindin my business, just tryna get through the day,
Then outta nowhere, he approach me, lookin like he got somethin to say,
Ain’t even square up fair, nah, he rushed me, caught me off guard,
Swing after swing, I’m fightin back but this shit got hard.
He connect clean, I’m fallin back, crowd gatherin like it’s a show,
Then out my pocket slipped the blade, now everybody gotta know,
“Look what he got!” they yellin loud, now I’m the one on display,
Whole school watchin, talkin crazy, like I’m the villain that day.
I ain’t even get to use it, still, I’m the one they accusin,
Teacher rushin, security grabbin, now I’m the one losin,
They say I’m wrong, say I’m the problem, say I crossed the line,
But they ain’t see what happened, or what was on my mind.
Week pass, I’m back, but I ain’t the same
Ain’t no smiles in my face, only hate and rage
After school, I’m posted, waitin by the gate
Seen him laughin with his boys, yeah, I knew this was the day
Walked up calm, he ain’t think I’d react
Soon as he turned his head—boom—I cracked
Now he on the ground, I’m lettin loose, no breaks
All that anger built up, yeah, it finally escaped
People screamin, phones out, they recordin the scene
But I ain’t even hear it, tunnel vision, all red beam
He tried to cover up, but I ain’t lettin him breathe
This the same pain you gave me, bitch, now you feelin me
But it ain’t stop there, nah, shit got deep
Next day, I hear his whole crew lookin for me
Talkin reckless, sayin they gon jump me again
I said, “bet that,” called my homeboys, now we ready for war then
We outside, tension thick, air feel cold
They roll up deep, yeah, I see ‘em all bold
But my side slid through, now the odds evened out
One wrong move, then it’s on, ain’t no talkin it out
First punch thrown, then it turned to a storm
Bodies collidin, chaos all in the form
I’m duckin, swingin, hear the crowd yell loud
Adrenaline hittin, I ain’t thinkin now
One by one, they start backin away
My crew still breathin, yeah, we won that day
They ain’t expect we’d fight back like that
Now they scattered, whole scene went flat
We come to school next day, my mentality is dark
Since this shit wasn't in school, we don't get in trouble, we played it smart
I seen one of em pass by, my look challenged him to try
But he just kept walking, he ain't givin no reply
I got some cred, my reputation came back,
All just cus I gave this kid the smack
And the years pass by, but I remember that attack
And since then, I don't show nobody no slack
