{King}

Knee deep in mud from the mud let me breathe
He just a thug let 'em die in the streets
Cigarette butts, glass, and rocks in my teeth
And I'm choking out, I need oxygen please
Dreading the day like I locked up my fro
Remember the day that they locked up my bro
Ain't been the same, feel the shit to this day
And I'm choking out

Oxygen
Smino

As I wake up I see an envelop sitting on my nightstand. I turn it over and it's from my mom. I open it and a chain and a folded up paper falls out. I look at the chain and I realize it's my big brother Kyle chain, he use to always wear this but one day he lost it and the next day he got killed. It has a lion face on it. I still remember the first day he got it.

Flashback

"Yo" Kyle came in my room and I was sitting on the floor doing my homework.

My eyes immediately go to the chain around his neck.
"Damn, bro that's nice" I get up and walk over to him.

"Nigga I know" he crosses his arms smiling. I don't believe at 16 he could afford this.

"How you get, did you steal it" I ask him amazed with the looks of the chain.

"Nah, I bought it with my money" he closed the door to my room.

"You ain't got no money" I lift my eyebrow at him.

"Alright, bro you still young but if I tell you this you can't tell moms" he sits down on my bed.

"I got you" I sit next to him.

"Ight, so you know drugs and stuff, that's it's illegal" he says and I nod my head, I know because dad did it but I don't know everything about it.

"I do it, like dad" he told me.

"Why" I ask him confused.

"We need the money that nigga Karl is taking it all and mom ain't stopping him" he tells me. "I know it's dangerous, but we mighty as lions" he smiles shaking my hair.

Flashback over

Mighty as lions. I laugh at that lame shit he told me. Damn where would I be if he was still alive. I head the bathroom and take a shower. As I'm getting dress I decided to put on the chain. I walk out the door and head out to my car. I open my car door and I feel a sharp pain in my shoulder and back. I try to reach to open the car door but everything goes black.

{Joy}

Me, Kami, and Carmen are getting stuff for Kami brother Jay. His getting out next week and his moving back in with Carmen. They had been dating for about 3 years now. 

"So Joy how have you been, like being on King's shit list an all" Carmen asks as we walk into the true religion store.

"Huh, well we have been getting along better. But we went to seen Troy today" I tell them.

"Damn that's good, but Bria is going to be pissed" Carmen said and Kami agree.

"Why" I asked them not really knowing Troy and Bria relationship.

"Well supposedly, Money was supposed to keep in contact with her and they were about to like get in a relationship but he never did. So she moved on" Kami shrugged her shoulders.

"Shit he was not in contact with us, his only been gone for 2 months" I tell them.

"Tell her that" Carmen said picking up a pair of pants.

"Hello ladies"a guy comes up with us, he has a some deep waves and a nice smile.

"Yes" Kami says to him while looking at the clothes.

"Well um, me and my homeboys was wondering if we could get y'all number" he smiles. I look at the clothes but look at him out the side of my eye and see Kami and Carmen not looking at him and I see 2 other guys behind him.

"No I'm sorry, we all are in happy relationship, but she not" Kami sets me out and says.

"Well, can I get your number" he smiles and licks his lips.

"Umm, actually I'm talking to someone" I tell him.

"Damn that's to bad, I hope I see you around" he walks off with his guys. I'm glad he just left with me saying no once and I didn't have the energy to keep repeating my self.

"Oh shoot who you talking to" Carmen turns and looks at me with a smile on her face.

"Leo" Kami laughs out.

"Actually no, I'm not dealing with Leo" i tell them.

"Well who" they both say. I done dug myself in a deep hole. I just don't want to tell anyone, I can trust them it's just not anyone's business yet. I feel my phone ringing in my pocket.

"Hold on" I tell them and see its Killa calling me.

"Hello" I answer the phone.  "She did that shit on purpose" I hear Carmen say in the background.

"Shh" I tell her.

"Yo, Joy get down her now" Killa says.

"Where what huh" I ask him confused.

"It's King we at St. Mary's hospital" he said and my heart dropped. As I hung up the phone and turn around to the girls. I see Kami looking at her phone.

"Aye y'all it's somethings wrong with King" Kami says.

"I know we got to go" I tell them and we leave the mall and head to the hospital.
