“Every time I see you in the world you always step to my girl.”
“Your girl was Berkley with her communist reader Mine was entombed within boombox and Walkman. I was a hoarder but girl that was back then.”

“Wisdoms a gift, but you trade it for youth. Age is an honor but it’s still not the truth. We saw the stars when they hid from the world.”
“We know the true death the true way of all flesh. Everyone’s dying, but girl you’re not old yet.”

I’m ready for the house… I can’t do it alone.”
