And I met her around this time and I'm experimenting with music and I'm starting to like, who's this girl?

What's up with this right here?

Um, so then, uh, I'm at work one night and I come out and all the windows are busted out of my truck and I'm like, what the, oh, dude, I'm like, look, go in the back of the truck and my base is gone.
