Maybe I don't want to get punched in my face.
And I'm so afraid to feel that pain.
I got to fight.
I got to go at you now.
I don't want to get hit.
Because I know you're going to hit me.
Well, yeah, I wasn't starting.
For example, kids get me on a lunch line.
And a big fight happened.
PS122.
A Greek school.
And Astoria, Queens.
You know, like, how does that, you know, somebody skipping you in the lunch line, how does that merit a punch in the face?
You know, it really doesn't.
That's what you tell the teacher.
Now, if the teacher's going to listen to you or not, get back in line.
Oh, okay, I'll get back in line, but I'm really upset that he skipped me.
You know, or you just handle it yourself, right?
And sometimes when things get out of hand in your neighborhood, you only got a split second to react.
You know, either you're going to get punched in your face or you're not.
