"say unk, where you work at?" tyson asked as they walking in the park. "let's just say I'mma investment man." mark said "what's that?"tyson asked curious "He sell drugs."broderick said "Shut up, don't listen to your brother, he to dum to know what he talkin bout." mark said pushing broderick arm. "so you sell products like on tv." tyson asked "yeah, why you so interested little man?" mark asked "because I wanna be like you Unk." tyson said "little man, don't be like me, be better then me, follow your heart." he said patting his back. tyson ran to the devil dipper. "say unk, why you just didn't tell him the truth, shit, you need to put me on, you know what I'm saying." broderick said rubbing his hands together. "what, u ain't ready for that life little homie, for one you run your mouth about your own, that shit right there get you killed, you ain't about that life, so keep your nose in them books before you have your momma woop me and your little ass." mark said walking to where tyson was. "man if he ain't gonna put me on, imma do it myself." broderick mumbled. broderick had got a text from one his friends, tae. it read: so is you in or what home boy, I got some fire right na, talkin bout 500 a brick, come through. broderick text back, ight bet, on my way. broderick walked over to his unk mark.
