Yeah.
Well, the thing is though, Emmanuel, you're not wrong.
I snorted cocaine for about 15 years with my dumb ass.
I started off snorting little tiny pinches.
I said, I know I ain't going to get hooked.
I don't know coke, you can't get hooked.
My friends have been snorting 15 years, they ain't hooked.
That's why I was snorting little tiny, didn't even make noise.
Coke etiquette, Jack.
