you ever get involved with people that make you doubt your critical thinking skills I
have the worst Nomad I ever met Donnie was a magnet for police and drama from domestic
disputes distilling TVs at a hotel rooms I was felt being in a one percent Club was about to
ride it was about the motorcycles chilling with your brothers but the politics make you
realize it's not really what you signed up for sometimes clubs begin to just use their
motorcycles as a form of transportation on their path to Greed and power I never understood why
it was so important to gain a position being a sergeant of arms for most my time I was looked
at it as a responsibility not a flex when you meet a one percenter from another club you're
supposed to say I'm so sgt at arms insert club name here but me I always said what's up I'm
SOSE I just never felt the need to be that status quo type person and that's not what clubs usually
do they usually State their position I never cared about my position it never defy me I
always saw myself as more but there are some brothers that use a title to make themselves
seem like they're more important I've always felt important I didn't need that Donnie my
Nomad brother at the time was looked at as a big homie I use this type of terminology because of
my past where I came from meaning someone in a higher position of importance Donnie was my big
homie but with homeboys like Donnie who needs enemy let's talk about My Dysfunctional Family
[Music]
thank you [Music]
so we're heading to the Bronx leaving Albany after a disastrous night Donnie decided he was
going to steal the TV of the motel room that we rented which was in my name I said Donnie you're
gonna pay for this TV if they start calling me and coming after me I told him I'm not gonna pay for
your death with your thieving ass you can't make this up he says I do this all the time brother as
long as you pay with cash you're good if you get calls just don't pick up he really believes this
and I believe him when he says I don't know if it was really true if he did it all the time but it
seemed like a natural thing for him to do I just didn't get it good thing we paid with cash but
it was still in my name my ID was an old address where I don't stay anyway so I said Donnie it's
a box why do you need that and I mean the old school TVs the boxes it was a little white TV a
little white box so this man says I needed it for my wife so basically F me your wife needs a box I
told him with friends like you who needs enemies now this ain't no flat screen we're talking about
here Brothers don't burn Brothers like that so we get back to the Bronx and I immediately distance
myself I really wanted nothing to do with this man I didn't care who said what what club said what I
didn't want nothing to do with this dude I needed space from him at this time I have an open case
and I have a couple of court dates before I get sentenced I got a lot on my mind a lot of stress
I gotta see what's going on with my situation I gotta do what's right for me back home me and my
girl at the time decided that we were gonna have the baby no abortions well she kind of decided
that for me I took her out on a nice little lunch and I you know paid a good amount of money to eat
somewhere nice and kind of tried to proposition her like yo maybe this isn't the best decision
you know me getting ready to go up north maybe we shouldn't do this she was not hearing it it
is what it is my daughter's hair now I love her it is what it is so one day we're laying down I get
a call Donnie I'm looking at the phone like oh my God so I tell her I'm like yo is this fool on the
phone she's like oh no I looked at the phone and I thought to myself why like you ever seen don't be
a menace to drink in South Central While Drinking juice in your hood when uh Crazy Legs get shot and
he takes the little shoe and he goes why that's how I felt so I tell her I gotta pick up because
you never know what it is even though he's crazy he's still your brother so you never know if he
really needs you she says hell no you know that man's a psycho don't pick that up and I say you
know he's still my brother so I pick up what's the first thing he says as soon as I pick up hey
baby brother you know to put you in your position so I said I'm a grown ass man Donnie what do you
want he says brother I need you to come to the crib it's Club business if you're in a club or
ever been in one you know when a brother tells you it's Club business that means it's serious
and you gotta roll so he hangs up the phone when you're an outlaw and you get these type of calls
it's time to ride but knowing this dude it could be anything or nothing so I hang up I tell my girl
I gotta roll she was like you serious you got a family to worry about we got our own problems this
dude is gonna make your situation worse just stay home and I told her he's my brother I gotta roll
you know how this goes if you're a person that's thinking about joining an outlaw motorcycle club
it is not an all the time thing but sometimes you will get that call and you expected the roll smash
that like button too if you know damn well if you're laid up in the bed with your old lady and
never in a million years would you pick up that phone do not join a one percent Club you shouldn't
join any club that has like serious expectations if you know yourself if they call you at two in
the morning or something then you know you're not going to pick up the phone don't even do it and I
know a lot of brothers that are in clubs and if you call them at that time you ain't gonna get
through but there are consequences sometimes for that and don't get it twisted there's diamonds
that will hit you and it's tough when you're the type of person that I am because I never would
have beef on my own accord I move by myself a lot I never have issues but if your brother has issues
you have issues so I go in his apartment it's on 176th Street by Jerome Avenue very close to
Yankee Stadium a rough part of the Bronx if you're not from there and you go to Yankee Stadium don't
wander around it gets dark depending on what you know Direction you walk in you're in the
South Bronx don't get it twisted so I go inside his apartment he's all excited he got his shirt
off he got basketball shorts on and you guessed it boots the man stuck to his code he never broke the
rule he always had his feet covered even in his house is very strange the man's feet if they ever
get seen must look like he walks on African coals every day but I digress so I look to the left and
I see you know his wife is there he said yo this is my wife brother and she's like hi nice to meet
you I kid you not as she's saying hi to me what do you think she was doing she was watching the
TV this man stole from the hotel room you can't make this shit up and she look happy watching
this little you can't make this up I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone even just thinking about it
so Donnie pulls me to the back and I tell him I've been getting calls by the Albany Police about that
TV and I told him I had left the door a little bit open not fully closed so someone must have
came after me really shitty excuse but they left it alone after a while for whatever reason I guess
because I'm like way out of the gym jurisdiction I think because we were in New York City and it
was Albany it was too small for our vacation so they didn't care lucky too because I'm basically
waiting to get sentenced for my prior charge that little stunt could have added time to my sentence
it made me look like a fool in front of that judge so I brought it up to Donnie and he's like
see I told you it wasn't nothing you shouldn't have never picked up the phone this man could
not spell accountability just can't zero about my situation so he says forget that we got important
business to handle this man's talking about me and my livelihood like it's not a priority so I
said Donnie please tell me what's more important than my livelihood right now so he proceeds to
tell me that him and a friend of his got into an altercation with a block that is known for
being a lot of Crips on that block and they kind of banged out they were outnumbered they didn't
get beat up like dropped to the ground or anything like that but they got jumped so you know we gotta
you know get busy we gotta retaliate so let me give you some backstory on this we already had
had issues with this block before and it was over what Danny as usual it was over a female he was
going to this block seeing this girl he told me one time listen come with me because it's
blocked there'd be a lot of people outside when I go to see this girl so I go with him to see this
girl and I seen the tension was high so he had some words with members of that block and it got
heated so what happened was we devised a plan we went over there like three cars deep and we
checked them we hopped out and they were nervous as hell we jumped out of three cars no bikes this
is cars at this time you jump out the cars and you get busy the people that were on the Block
were not the exact people that he had the words with but I told him I was like listen you got a
problem with my brother so the member told me I'm the big homie at this block and I'm gonna talk to
my little homies and we're gonna squash this out it ain't gonna be no issues so we get out of there
Donnie keeps going back to that block to see this girl so he would bring me and sometimes he would
go on his own I remember there was a time that I was with him and he started talking to one of the
dudes and he was like yo you know everything is cool you know that wasn't nothing he kept talking
about the situation and I told him Donnie stopped talking to those dudes they're gonna think you're
sore when you're in situations like that people are gonna start thinking yourself if we already
have words with them why are you talking to them why are you trying to be cool with them they're
going to think that because it's only two of us you're nervous or if you're by yourself
you're nervous so I tell him Donnie you know when we're walking in the building I'm like Donnie stop
talking to them dudes they're gonna think you're soft and they're gonna make a move on you you did
not listen to me and he kept on talking to these dudes and that's why this situation happened so
here's how it goes we had two cars that time we crowded too many people in the one car I was in
everybody's all stuffed in together and when we hop out the car me and my boy Looch were getting
busy we see them we saw fighting we're kicking ass so so me and my boy loser we're busting them up we
got one on the ground the rest of them are getting beat up it's a total W but what happens next you
can't make this up they're like yo come on come on we out so me and lucious still hitting we get up
you know you kind of snap out of it and then we're going to get in the car they pull off on us they
leave us in an enemy territory on this block so what happens a whole bunch of people are coming
out with sticks fathers everybody that's related to them coming out with sticks bats all that stuff
me and my boy Lou start running I was always the Doughboy of the crew they call me Doughboy I was
the chubby Ice Cube type I would stay and fight with the running stuff never was really my thing
so we go to running I just want to add on a side note you cannot say that I don't keep it real
because I talk about wins and losses I never sugar a cult and this is how the streets are there's
winds and there's losses anybody that walks around that acts like they won every situation is a
fakest dude you will ever meet he never been in no real situations so we're running Lucha's gaining
speed me I'm slow as hell I am not a runner so I get hit from behind crutches they break so I get
hit in the back of my head with crutches boom I keep running I don't go down but I'm you know I'm
not fast so I'm moving slow and these dudes are slamming you know muscular they're moving fast
another dude hits me with like a cane or a stick you know like a walking cane in the back of the
head I go down I don't black out though as soon as I'm going down you can't make this shit up I see
Donnie's car passing us I'm on the ground getting totaled you know they're hitting me with stuff and
all that and you know by the grace of God they didn't put me in the hospital they didn't do me
like super super dirty I wasn't bleeding I didn't have black eyes none of that I probably have
busted ribs or something though but they didn't do us dirty you know they really could have did as
bad because they had us both and Louch shout out to him he slowed down he caught the beating with
me he could have got away really and truly because he was getting close to the Gun Hill this was on
Jerome in the Bronx right by Gun Hill and he could have got away and he stopped because he seen they
called me and he he took a bad one too so we're laid out people call cops ambulance all that cops
come we don't want to talk to them the ambulance comes I'm like Lucho okay and he was like yo I'm
just a little beat up but like yo I'm gonna kill this dude when we get back to the block and I'm
like yeah this is a crazy situation so we're not be bad enough that we really needed to go to the
hospital We're Young we're just like bruise up or whatever it may be we're still a block and a half
away from their block so the ambulance tells us do you want to go to the hospital and I said no just
take us down the block to where we live and he said we can't do that it's either we got to take
you to the hospital or nothing I said listen if you leave us on this block they're gonna kill us
so you know they probably weren't they probably I feel like they got theirs they caught us you know
it wasn't they wasn't trying to take us out like that but you don't know you know you don't know
so the ambulance was cool he actually took us down the block and let us off over there I'm not gonna
lie to you when we went back to the block we were infuriated me and luge went after Donnie a lot of
the brothers broke us up I just wanted a piece of him because how could you leave your brothers in a
situation like whatever you would have got shot like these are dudes that are known for putting
in real work you left us in a situation where we might not have made it home and we went there for
you it wasn't even our drama the dude looks at me straight in my face and says yo I did not see
you I thought you were in the car like how do you not know I'm in the car like that you know what I
mean like let me know in the comments if you think that's a a legitimate thing to say like yo it's so
many people I didn't realize you weren't weren't in the car it's like bro what type like who does
that you know and then he tried to make it seem like he went back once he realized I think he was
lying personally but it was just another Donny situation where there was no accountability but
one thing I noticed God prepared me for my bid I have became so not soft in the sense of being
bullied but saw in the sense of like life was too easy Donnie was actually a huge gift that
got my mind it was such a hectic lifestyle it got me used to dealing with people that are
irrational because a couple of months later up north in Gowanda Correctional Facility I would
meet irrational people to say the least to tell you the truth when I got inside there it was calm
compared to the atmosphere that Donnie had created and spending time in prison it made me realize
most these people have mental health issues a lot of them should be on medication and in an asylum
not in prison wherever you are Donnie I still don't like you but thank you for preparing me
[Music]
oh wow
