this mortuary.

I got through to her.

- Zen.

She fired him right there.

How'd he take that?
574
00:26:31,881 --> 00:26:33,133
He was a 26er.

So, how do you think
he took it?
576

My father and I
prepared her for burial.

into a bona fide MC.

Before me, she was just
another girl roasting on 26th.

But Sugar Dawn was looking
to change her image.

But she never told me.
582
00:26:57,073 --> 00:27:00,327
But she wanted to rap about
more than cars and jewelry.

She'd rap about a dog
if I told her.

her on the map.
