Lil' Cuz

I have this younger cousin, well before I get into that story I guess I have to start from the jump. I am obviously from Detroit, and I have tons of family. Detroit is just one of those "Family" kind of towns. Christmas, Memorial Day, the 4th, etc...are all big travel dates for folks to fly in to...yep you guessed it Detroit Michigan. The Love is so great that it just ooozees into your heart the min you get there...after about 30 min...the potholes and burnt down cribs...ooozzee that luv right into your backside. Of subject again. So, My cousins are different in every way. But for some reason we all share one unique quality. We are hustla's. We move and shake, we make deals, we dance wit the devil and give props to god. Sure, its a scary road to live. Party is not something that is uncommon, it is in our nature. But, I have this one cousin, who just drops out of touch every so often and I get concerned. Now this is serious. I guess the younger cousin has had trouble with the law, (who hasn't) and has just gone in-cog-negro. So here is my top ten reasons why we should not forget family:

10: Who's going to bury your ass when you die.
9: God don't like ugly
8: Who else are we going to talk about during the family diners
7: You know you will be talked about, until you are forgotten.
6: Aint no turning back once you are considered lost
5: A phone call can heal all wounds, a visit can revitalize you and a hug can restore faith
4: Family is the only set of friends that will tell you the truth
3: You can fall in love with a stranger but you can't fall out of love with family.
2: In a time of struggle, you may need someone who has your back.

Which brings me to a good point...#1
We are here to fight for you. Pray for you and cheer for you when you are down...but no one, and I mean no one can do anything unless you are around.

Lil' Cuz or in this Case Big cuz. Stop being a loner and call a bruh. Perhaps you need to start drinking...to take a load off... or better yet smoke an "L"

en peace.
