“I remember when they shipped me from the cans To Chelmsford Prison and my celly had my back So I had to have his back. Niggas started fighting and then they cut me on my hand. So I grabbed one from the back and I flung him off the landing. You know the screws get extra ruthless when you’re a black person”.
