Hey Bruh,
You always on my mind. Lil Yon never gets tired of our childhood stories. He calls them zany, whatever that means.
You know how things are with me now, everyday I'm a better rancher/cowboy. Who woulda thought a kid from 2nd Fillmore huh?
Thank you for watching over me. Tell KeeKee and Kountry I said hey.
Rest In Peace My Friend,
Tuck
