KING
I looked down at the headstone that was marked with my cousin's name in its dark grey marble script lettering. I read the name over and over as if saying it would bring him back
Malik "Mugga" East
I hadn't been here since we buried my cousin 2 years ago. I had a hard time still accepting that my cousin was gone. We still keep his cellphone on just so we could hear his voicemail. Being here just made it much real that he was gone. This just wasn't how I wanted things to end up for him. I thought he would learn from my mistakes and be better than me.
I wiped my left hand down my face as I held my composure.
This ain't right .....Mugga you shouldn't be here
I stuck my hands in my bomber jacket as I held the tears back. I looked around at my cousin Kash and my Uncle as they kneeled down at Mugga's grave putting down fresh red roses. It was Mugga's favorite color and flower.
" I miss him so much dad"

I chocked up alittle as Kash cried in my Uncles arms.
"I know baby... I miss him too"

We hurting Mugga damn... I don't know what to do
I put my shades back on. I needed to leave this place. I wasn't gonna cry no more. I seen my Uncle and Kash cry enough over the last 2 years from Mugga's murder and now all I wanted was a nigga life.
Life for a life

"Turn up nigga!! You always on some laid back shit King"
I stuck my middle finger up at my cousin Mugga as he put a personal bottle of Henny in my hand. I laughed taking it from him as we partied on a usually Saturday night for us.
