It’s about a man who wants to have the newest gear to wear. He wants to look good. Or else he means his ego will pop like a ten-cent balloon. The way gets the new gear is to steal at mall or steal from innocent people. We hear about when he stole a pair of air jordans. He shoots the victim to get his air Jordans. He cut school Friday, to make his business.
