- i understand why they fuck with you/us if youre writing in their little "territory" i remember in 93 at this little graff convention in LA me and my friend decided to walk to the liquor store, so we were at the Xwalk and i decide to nonchalantly get a little bit of cheap fame on the pole, next thing you know i hear "this is big bad MS13, dont be writing in my neighborhood punk" i pretended like i didnt hear it and walked semi fast to the liquor store.....but im just glad all i got was a verbal warning..
