To
a working class African American man by the name of Dwayne Matthews, an
abnormal Blvck child was born under the name D'Jaun Currie. D'Jaun was raised by
his father Dwayne in the constantly challenging streets of Detroit Michigan. Adolescence
was always troubling for the young Blvck D’Jaun. Conflicted to choose between a
life as an aspiring wise and intelligent Blvck man of high stature or a life as
a thug in the streets of Detroit shining through an over glorified window of
superficial fame.
Even though the obvious path would be that of sophistication, it is very easy for a young Blvck boy to think that fools gold is real. But in his mind there was only two choices. Conform or bare the burden of social outcast. He saw how those not in compliance with status quo were treated with prejudice by his own peers. So young Blvck D'Jaun played by the ruels in fear that he'd be rejected by his culture. Lying, stealing, drugs, guns, these things were always in arms reach. The young Blvck boy grew into a young Blvck teen and in these years, his life would change forever.
Many of the Blvck teens peers from school started to disappear. Most of his peers were either incarcerated, inpregnated, or killed. Strangely none of this made him re-think his path. He cried on his troublesome ways. Falling deeper and deeper into the pit of dispart that is "the streets". Until one day ,just like any other, this Black teen by the name of D'Jaun would have to make a decision that would make him or break him. This young Black teen was tasked with the duty to take the life of another. The young Black teen thought long and hard about this heavy burden. On one hand he would acquire the money and gloried hood fame that admired so much. But on the other hand he thought "what would it cost to achieve this fame and glory"? His freedom? His soul? Always looking over his shoulder for inevitable retribution?
