Bro I spent a good amount of money on bonds, books, and shit like that for people to switch
up on me, get on me. Like look bro, I'm not one of those people like, “Oh my god, you
switched up on me?” I'm still Trigger Maxo, fuck you nigga. Y'all got a lot of... fuck,
I don't need you. Na-na-na-boo-boo.
I got a lot of niggas locked up. I just want to always write a letter to them. Like I send
money on JPay. I write letters on JPay. But you know, they respect it more if you sit
down, and you write the letter letter. So this is my letter to them. TJ was staying
with me. You know what I'm saying? That's like my partner and producer. He been producing
with me since like my earlier tapes. He brought the real soul for the “Huh-huh.” Like,
that's his sample in the beat. I thought that was Mariah Carey or something, like dude what
you doing? You know what I'm saying, though? But yeah, he brought that part... Mike Dean
cleaned it up, brought the sharpness, the real instruments, you know what I'm saying?
You get judged by 12 individuals that don’t know nothing about you. Never had a struggle.
Never had to go hustle to make sure that the lights on. Nothing like that. To judge what
you're going through, and what you did. That's not fair. That's cruel and unusual punishment.
So I'd rather not be living before I go through that cause the stress you put your mama through,
your family through. You know what I'm saying? It's your mental well-being. I’d just take
the shell. But see taking the shell though...you’d take a shell in the foot. Take a shell in
the leg, you ain’t got to take it to the head.
My first real experience with the police, I was 12 years old. They kicked in our door
to come grab my dad. But, they had pistols at my mama, pistols at everybody in the house.
It's basically like, kick the door hit the lick except they're the police. They come
in, they up their pistols, and they take what they want. That's illegal. You know? For us
to do it, but they're the police. So, I guess they can do it, but man fuck 12.
I don't think I've had all my homies out with me since 2008. I lose a lot of homies, you
know what I'm saying, to like the grave, but I lose more homies to like going to jail.
Aggravated robberies. Murders. Stuff like that. You know what I'm saying? That's still
a loss too. You know even though they ain't dead, you damn near dead. The damn state system
take everything from you. Strip you from your rights, you know what I'm saying?
I keep them updated with all the miss. They don't miss nothin'. They want to know that
though. They want to know everything because they not in touch with the world. They don't
care if you farted three minutes ago they want to know that. Then a lot of them, they
will be mad. They hit you like, "Man, bro, you a hoe. You don't fuck with me. You ain't
send no money in two weeks. Woah woah woah." But as soon as you write them back, you on
the phone with them, "Hey bro, what's up bro, miss you bro." You know, free little Jordan,
that's my little bro. That's how he act.
That’s 10-1-10 Forum Park. You know what I'm saying? That's the block. That's the set.
We call it Murder Block because it's exactly what it is. A lot of murders. SG was the murder
capitol for Houston for years. Don’t go over there if you ain’t got no business.
It's crazy because they both got shot with, like, AK-47s. 223 bullets. Reggo got hit up
eight times. He survived. It took two to kill Slow Groove, you know. That's just crazy.
Shit he one of my locs. All these guys all screaming, they like y'all call them Crips,
y'all call them gang bangers, I call them my brothers. My Cruders. We lost Young Deuce
to, like, a sherm. You know what sherm is? Water. PCP. Yeah, it smells like fingernail
polish remover. It stank, but yeah. A sherm head had took his life.
You can't be out there fucking with the opps. Like, the same niggas that got him in jail.
You out there running with. I mean, you complain about his temper, but he caged. Like you know
what I'm saying? When you in jail, you at your lowest. Anybody that's out free, I don't
care if you paralyzed, if you living on the side of the freeway, you're doing better than
anybody in jail because when you're in jail you're in last place. There's nothing you
can do about it 'til you get out.
As a parent, there's some things you want to be there for. The first words, first birthday,
first catch, first everything. You know, that’s like heartbreaking. You know what I'm saying?
Knowing that you can't be there to see it, but at the same time, it's good to know.
Court-appointed lawyer. They there, bro. They get paid by the state, you know what I'm saying?
Whatever. They there for your case, but you're not paying them. So, they don't give a damn.
To them, you just a McDonald's. They don't care. Whatever. It's just some real quick,
but when you go and spend that bread and get that power attorney... They like, okay, now
it's filet mignon with the side. You what I'm saying? They gonna serve you better.
It could be worse. You could be on death row. You get a death penalty. To me that’s worse.
But at the same time it’s not. Cause I tell you...you know I’d rather be carried by
six than judged by 12 anyways. But death row is crap. Like let's say they send you to death
row. You'd been on death row for 50 years. Maybe 30 years before they kill you. Imagine
sitting there like, “Oh yeah, I'ma die. I'ma die soon.” I mean, we all gonna die,
but just imagine your life is in the hands of... was in the hands of twelve people that
don't understand you.
I was going to see my brother Lil Jordan. It was some hating-ass dude, I guess. We came
in smelling like dope. I guess he went and complained, woah woah woah, he was like “Mota
mota mota.” Then like they tried to make me go in the warden's room. I'm like, “Hell
nah. I'm not incarcerated, I'm not... Talk to me right here, I'm not stepping inside
your... I'm not... nah, so what's up?” The jailer said I smelled like marijuana so I
can't do the visit. I got to come back when I can but they did take me off the visiting
list though. They on some fucked shit. See, they're just trying to fuck you all over.
Somebody else said he was locked up with had somebody that I know, somebody that had somebody
else that I know, that person told me, then bro got G’Five. So basically, can't catch
you with a phone or they'll take all your privileges, take away your rec, all that,
take away your commissary, all that.
I ain’t know that it was a misdemeanor at the time. I ain’t know about the laws, you
get caught with a pistol like, “Damn, I'm going for 10 years. I'm gone, bro. I done
fucked up.” And then bro, he really went in everybody pocket. Anybody that had Kream
in their name, I'm Maxo Kream, anybody that had Kream in their name, he went in they pockets,
got the money. Got the money for my bond. And by the time he got all the money, I called
him and I'm like, “No, no, no, just hold the money, bro. I'm going to be good. I'll
be out in two weeks, it's just a misdemeanor. I'm good.”
Can you imagine being in the house with your family and everybody on bond except for your
baby sister? Y'all all go to the same bail bond?
I went from Little League, Chuck E Cheese... to like six months later, gang banging, serving
things and like that because she did that to my dad, did that to us. I can't look at
them the same. I look at them, I see what we was going through. I went from having my
little Jordans now I’m busting two for 89s. I gotta hustle. We went from mama cooking
every day, now we on Loan Star, welfare, eating fish sticks and noodles and shit. I had to
go from a boy to a man real quick.
I was helping him out, giving him money, buying shoes and clothes for his kid, you know what
I’m saying, looking out for him, helping him out with his rent, and he stole from me.
It's what he stole too. He stole like money, petty shit, but he stole a Supreme hoodie.
A $1200 Supreme hoodie box logo hoodie, sold it for $800 and then tried to lie like he
ain't do it. Then I went and I seen it on the goddamn website. He been a thief though,
I knew the nigga was a thief, but I thought I could change him.
I stick to my morals. I stick to the code. I still got morals that niggas don't still
believe in. I would never snitch on my brother, never turn on my brother, and then I don't
got partners. If you're my partner, you're my brother, so that mean I'm going to treat
you like my brother. I’m not gonna talk to your bitch on the side, I’m not gonna
steal from you. I don't believe in none of that.
RICO. That’s organized crime, we all know that, all right? And you know who RICO is,
I paid in full. RICO like, “Yo, you know I’m sorry about Sunny. Anything to get your
little mans back, I'm down so what you got?” Then Mitch was like, “Yeah man, so I got
14 bricks.” RICO's like, “14 bricks right here?” Shot him. Boom. Once he shot him,
they started fighting. So he's fighting RICO. You get it? And I'm fighting RICO. Get it?
Was it corny? Was it a punch line? You get it?
I know it sounds...I don’t own no suit. The last suit I had, it was baggy as hell.
I looked like... You ever seen Charles Barkley, or a Shaquille O'Neal suit. On how all the
NBA players used to look in the 90's doing the drafts. Big, un-tailored. I don't like
suits. I remember Lil Wayne had a line, he was like, “We ain't wearing no suits because
we ain't trying to be no presidents.” So that always stuck in my head. But I think
I'm going to get a suit though. What you think, I should get a suit? Yeah, I might go to Persona
Max, get a suit. Just stay tuned.
If you tell them yes you they bro. You tell them no, then you a hoe. That’s how it go.
