“If The Citizen would like the real story about what happened in Staverton, then all they have to do is ask me. I was the injured man at the scene who reported the spillage. And to be honest The Citizen have their facts slightly wrong! But I'm willing to give them the real facts if they want them. All they have to do is ask!”

“Yo! Word up y'all.
I can't believe the Mo-Fo's at TiG deleted my previous post. Lighten up guys!
Take heed 'cause I'm a lyrical poet
Miami's on the scene just in case you didn't know it
My town that created all the bass sound
Enough to shake and kick holes in the ground
'Cause my style's like a chemical spill...in Staverton”
