“Like a stranger damn I just shot my n*gga
And ran off into the night as if it was not my n*gga
Left the scene how could I go out that way

I’ve admittedly been late to the Odd Future party, not really checking them too tough since they scared the crap out of me at SXSW. But over the last week or so, I’ve decided to give them a shot. Read the rest of this entry »
