Yeah Yeah Yeah Check 12 Its the piper
AKA Kellz I'm in the bulding

But steppa Tell me where

Jump out styling ladies smilin
Popa roxies everywhere
Hummer stretches limo lexis
Pull up while people stoppin stare

Lots of individuals only find fault in others. Something to talk about to make them feel better. I'm not saying what he did was ok or right at all but life goes on, and I got my own life to worry about. Just hope he learns from this life experience and God bless the victims in this situation.
