Since 1987, when I got my first one, I've been wearing a clock around my neck 24/7. You feel me? 24/7. ↗

It's funny how people who ain't never been down there can think that America is so fair and that we should be alright. It's funny that the people who have their foot on our neck are telling us, 'Get up. What's wrong with you?' ↗
