Dear Family 15

Fam,                                                                                                                                                                      12/29/2013

                I wrote a letter called “25 Questions on my dresser”, remember that? Well, awhile back, Valluco, asked his own 25 Questions, and I’ve been meaning to get to them. Here we go:

1.)    Is your third wife born yet?

*No, when I’m eighty I’ll be marrying some fine bitch in her twenties.

2.)    Did Lobo Get a raise

*No, because he put onions on my hamburger.

3.)    Are you still married to the streets?

*The bitch won’t divorce me.

4.)    Are you still stronger than the law?

*Yes, I’m the one who ordered them to put me in prison.

5.)    Topac or Biggie?

*Both, and Fat Pat.

6.)    Is your mom still saving cans?

*No, but my dad is.

7.)    Did you throw away your gats?

*Only the dirty ones.

8.)    Are you a bird or a plane?

*Depends what kind of weed I’m smoking.

9.)    Who had you running through the ghetto?

*Actually, that was Filero on the hook of “Children of the Ghetto.”

10.) Who’s over there?

*It’s hard to tell

11.) Does anything still go on your block?

*So I’m told.

12.) Vogues are 24s?

*Vogues are tires, 24s are rims, but the teacher said, “There’s NO such thing as a dumb question!”

13.) How did you get them cranium or chest plate?

*Not guilty, Your Honor.

14.) Who are you currently married to; Mary Jane, the streets or Gina?

*All three, I’m a Mormon.

15.) How sweet was your revenge?

*It gave me two cavities.

16.) What you go to the valley for?

*Libras, and I’m not talking zodiac signs.

17.) Did you find your charger?

*I think Lobo stoled it.

18.) Did you win the Cannibus Cup?

*No, but I buy my shit from the guy who did.

19.) Where are you from; City of Dank, South Park, Reveille Park, Houston, Houstone or Hillwood?

*All those are either in H-Town, or are H-town. o, the answer would be (drumroll please) “H-Town!”

20.) I heard you were a baker. What kind of cookies and cakes do you make?

*White cookies, and white cakes.

21.) Do you still remain malicious?

*Only when I miss my lunch.

22.) Do you have a 4^th wish?

*I never got my third.

23.) Are you the son of a gun or the son of Norma?

*It takes both to have a kid, bro.

24.) Did you find the blunt? I got one in case you’re still looking.

*I’ll take yours. Obviously, you’re on some good shit.

25.) Is 13 your number from the right team? if not. How long was 13 your number from the right team?

*I’ll answer this one seriously: When I recorded my first album, in the early 90’s, I was naive when it came to gangs. My homeboy’s little brother answered a question that I had. I asked him, “Why do people spray-paint ‘13’? What does that mean?”

                At this time, gangs were just beginning to infiltrate Houston. In the 80’s, everyone was representing their hoods and clicks as breakdancers. But all that sort of morphed into gangs as breakdancing began to fade. Then all these kids started throwing up gang signs, and killing each other for no fucking reason. But, when I asked my homeboy’s little brother about the “13”, he told me that it represented Mexicans, because the “M” was the thirteenth letter in the alphabet. So, I said, “Oh, that’s pretty cool.” And when I wrote my next song, I put “Thirteen be me number...”

                I never knew that there was another number that other Mexicans, who hated the ones who represented 13, existed. In other words I never knew there was a “14”, and that Mexicans were killing each other because 13 was enemies with 14. I found that out about a year later, after the “Hillwood” album had been released. I was, like, “What the fuck did I do?”

                Ya see, brother, I would never take part in anything that involves my people killing each other. That’s exactly the opposite of what I want for our people. All these men in prison today, about nine out of every ten, started by joining a gang in their neighborhood. A casket or a cage is the only future for gang members. Not that I’m mad at them, in fact I love them. Everything I do is for you and for them. I just hate the institution of gangs because of all the lives it has destroyed, and will destroy.

                Well, that was fun. I’ll go ahead and finish up with a forty. I love you guys.

Another Cold 40
