he say / she say

~ she says she doesn't know much about my past, but i carry myself like an OG. i recognized the compliment within and accepted it.

~ he says some of my life stories sound like a "baller adventure". i agree and am kinda surprised that he listens.

~ she says she wants her son to be like me. i smile and take it as the honor i hope it was intended as.

~ he said he's proud of me, for leaving and for making something of myself. i say "i'm trying", though i felt like arguing that "i'm still the same Dre"
