MIDNIGHT: Couldn’t get the big man moving for nothing . . . just froze. It’s the first time staying over at my girl’s and she’s trying her best, doing funky stuff, like candles, and incense and music, even spent mad money on expensive lingerie which I always find crazy, don’t mean I don’t like it, I just mean I’ve seen it I ain’t tryna see it if you know what I’m saying . . .

[... … …]

And I can see you lot looking at me like a victim but I mean I was . . . hard . . . the whole time, a man can’t get that way less he’s into it right?
