The New Song

“I’m gonna shoot you with my gun before it's all done,” rapped Quan, rap name
Lil Q, to end his verse on his new song.

Quan and his friends knew that this was the song that would bring him to fame. He
already had people listening to his music in his hometown but that wasn't enough.
He sat along his friends Big Wide, Small Fry, and newcomer, Jeremy smoking a
blunt in their “studio” next to Big Tony’s Pizzeria. Smoking was a
natural hobby for Quan and his crew, he says it helps him with his music too.

As he passed the blunt to Jeremy he said “Aye bruh, you know if you wanna
make it in the gang you gotta go catch a body,” referring to killing someone.

“Yeah, I know.” Jeremy responded.

“I better hear about it on the news tonight, bruh.” said Quan.

Later that night Jeremy went out by himself with a gun that Quan had given to
him. As he entered the parking lot he saw Mr. Evans looking uneasy, walking the
other way. Jeremy kept walking to his car, got in and drove to an alley where
their rival gang was posted up. When he saw 3 tall men walking towards him
wearing all black he decided to turn on his car and drive back home, he just
couldn’t do it, he couldn’t bring himself to kill someone.

That night Quan was sitting in his living room in apartment 401. He was smoking
another blunt as the news came on with a statement saying that Mr. Evans had
been shot and killed in the parking lot. Quan called Jeremy and said “Welcome
to the gang.” Jeremy had no idea what he was talking about but he decided to
go along with it.
