Itchy, Real Name Keenan S., Age 17, City Dallas Tx., Year 1991
Itchy Was One Of My Neighborhood Friends That Also Attended The Local High School With Me
He Was Quiet About His Issues Battling Dry SkinThat Caused Him To Itch
In The Neighborhood We Resided We Were Less Than Middle Class But Itchy Showed It Wearing Consistantly The Same Worn Out Clothes And Shoes Everyday
One Day While Leaving Out Of Our Final Class Itchy Told Me That Today Will Be His Last Day Of Attendance And He Will Be Dropping Out Of School
He Shared With Me About His Household Struggle And In Desperate Need Of Money
Fast Foward, Three Months Have Past And I'll Never Forget This Day
Itchy Showed Up At My Moms HouseTo Show Me His Brand New Cadillac Sedan Deville On Triple Gold Daytons
He Was Dressed In Blue Rayon From Top To Bottom
Blue Gator Shoes, Gold Earrings, Gold Teeth, Two Four Fingered Gold Rings, And Hair Grew Finger Waved
We Dapped Up Then Itchy Came Inside To Say Hello To My Moms
She Looked At Itchy And Said, Baby You Look Like Money, Where Have You Been, And Whose New Car Is That?
Itchy Smile And Replied Saying,"Oh Mine Maam"
Ithcy Stayed For A Whille But Shared Something With Me Before Leaving
He Told Me That He Was In The Dope Game But He Rather Not Share The Details
I Told Him, Man Don't You Know That This Sh*t Want Last Forever
He Laughed And Said, "TEE I Want Live Forever"
Itchy Left
Time Went On, Weeks, Months, And Even A Year
One Night Sounded Asleep
I Heard What Sounded Like Small Rocks Crashing Hitting My Window Payne
I Got Up, Looked Out My Window And There Stood Itchy In My Backyard
I Opened My Window And Yelled Silently, What The Hell Are You Doing Dog?
He Said, I'll Tell You Later But Please Bro I Need Something To Eat I Am Hungry
I Threw Him A Can Of Spam And A Loaf Of Bread
I Asked, Where Are You Going?
He Became Silent As He Walked Away Into The Darkness
The Next Time I Saw Ithcy Was Fall Of 1992
He Was Sitting On A Bench In The Park Next To The Red Bird Recreation Center
I Was Coming Out Of The Rec. When He Called Me Over
I Said, What Up Itchy? As With Dapped Up
He Started By Thanking Me For The Food That I Give Him That Night Then Began Talking About But A Change But He Was In The Game To Deep
He Also Told How Highly He Respect My Mother For Having A Home And Caring For Her Only Son
Then He Went On Saying That His Parents Don't Give A Damn All They Think About Is The Street Life And Thats Exactly How I Know That I Want Live To See 21
I Replied, Man Don't Claim That Over Your Life And Left Him With A Word Of Encouragement
I Told Him If My Mother A Black Single Woman Could Get Off Of Her Butt To Work Hard To Obtain A Good Paying Job To Get Herself And Her 7 Yr Old Son Out Of The Desire Projects Of New Orleans Louisiana Riddled With Crimes/Murders To A House Here In Dallas Texas. Anything Is Possible If You Just Believe.
That Was The Last Time That I Saw Itchy
One Saturday Morning I Was Awakened By My Friend Tyson Was Ringing Our Doorbell Franticly
I Opened The Door To Tyson Wearing A Blood Covered T-Shirt Pacing Crying Screaming, ITHCYS DEAD ITCHYS DEAD!!!!
My Mom Came Out To Calm Tyson And To Have A Set On Porch
With His Legs Shacking Out Of Control He Was Able To Tell Me What Happened The Night Before
He Said, It Was Me, Itchy And Abor Hanging Chilling At Club Box
Itchy Was Dancing With Some Chic That Was A Fox
The Next Thing You Know Some Dude(Her Boyfriend) Hauld Off And Stole Itchy In The Face
The Whole Entire Club Errupted
The Security Cleared Out Everyone By Spraying Pepper Spray In The Air
Itchy And Ole Dude Continued The Fight In The Parking Lot Til The Laws Showed Up
We Hopped In Itchys Car And Rolled Out
We Were Rolling Down Camp Wisdom When I Noticed A White Ford Taurus Had Pulled Up On The Drivers Side Of The Car
I Was Buzzing But I Could Hear Itchy And Another Guy Cussing At Each Other From Car To Car
All Of A Sudden I Heard A Boom And Saw A Flash
My Reaction Was Quick So I Ducked But When I Looked Up-Man(Shacking).
I Think Ole Dude Shot Itchy In The Head With A Sawed Off 12 Gauge
His Head Blew Apart Infront Of Me And Man I Sobered Immediately
I Freaked Out My Adrenaline Went To The Roof As The Car Wrecked Into A Tree Infront Of A Church
I Got Out Broke A Window At The Church To Found A Phone Then Called 911
This Is A True Story
I'll Never Forget You Itchy
