10/19/15
Was it your smile that got me?
That fateful day when our eyes met,
The beginning of us, with years to develop,

Separated by the United States,
Our affection matured by travel and distance,
To lead us to this day,
The Californian dream,

[Verse One: Notorious, Meth]

I used to get feels on a b—h
Now I throw shields on the d–k
To stop me from that HIV s–t
And n—-z know they soft like a Twinkie filling
Playin the villian
Prepare for this rap killin
Biggie Smalls is the illest
Your style is played out, like Arnold wondered
“What you talkin bout Willis?”

Loosely based on true events, and experiences during that time, told through the eyes and voice of the main female protagonist, a freshman first attending the school.
