Let it burn

I got a txt from my boy Lloyd...

Lloyd: Guess what bro?
Me: You're gonna be a father!!! I knew that thing wasn't shooting blanks
Lloyd: No bro worse
When he txted me that, I was like OMG this man has that Lex Luger/'the package'/because that's the only thing I could think of that's worse than having a child, then I thought I know we're boys and everything... but why would he tell me that? and through a txt?!? So I was super curious...
Me: What's worse than that

I remember when I was in the navy I would get in trouble for all

sorts of dumb shit. I remember this one dude who I worked for told
me...
"you think you can slick talk your way out of shit, and when you get in trouble you got that stupid ass look on your face"

I would hear that right as I was about to face the music and for the
most part it was true. I used to try to slick talk my way into and
out of lots of shit and I can imagine the stupid ass look on my face.

Right by my side most if the time was my road dog Lloyd. He was
right there with me either telling me not to do it, doing it with me
or in disbelief that I got away with it. Anyways, the times after
he got off lightly for some bullshit he'd go around talking about
how he's untouchable and other shit and I'd tell him...
"you're one of those dudes that's gotta burn before you learn"
It really sucks to be right... So now he's in trouble and it's over some shit we used to talk about too, about like how we couldn't imagine having to tell our parents that news...
