  I want too tell a story about my Lil Brother, sometimes I still can't sleep at night. The memories of the past hurt deep in my soul. I can remember my lol Brother and Lashawn were celebrating being the number one crew out there, were untouchable and invincible. It was like the enemy came out of the moon and hit us with a devastating blow, we're always prepared for anything or anybody. Gang task forces wanted us so bad and the streets did also. I can remember how we stayed 10 steps ahead of everything that could hit us, or so we thought. Ican remember the last time we spoke it's taken me it was almost 26 years ago, it took a great part of me and I've never been the same ever since.
