He was life’s exhibit of survival; the epitome of what this world did to black boys, turning them into men too soon, and then getting upset when these men, whom didn’t know themselves, lacked maturity.

Rules, hearts... men like Ethic were just prone to breaking shit; but they had no idea how to repair themselves when the shoe was on the other foot.
