“That degree of leniency on this side of the tracks. The first sign of weakness and you’re a dead man. And if you’re not physically erased off the face of the earth, you might as well be because the motherfuckers who sense that weakness gon’ hit you for everything you got. Before I go down like a sucker, Mommas, I’ll pretend I’m good til the day they put me in my box and throw the dirt on me.”
