First and foremost, I would like to thank God for blessing me with the gift to put something like this together. Without you by my side, I would not have been able to make it through the many roadblocks and burdens that were placed against me. It is because of you that I have stayed strong and focused.

​​I would also like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Michael Lopez. You believed in me and stayed true and loyal, even when I doubted myself. Thank you both! That really meant a lot to me.

I dedicate this book to my late mother Jacqueline Morris and my late aunt Cathrine Heckstall. Even though you are gone, you continue to give me the strength that I need to make it in this cruel world.

To my children, Le`shea Burrell, Demina Johnson, Sa`meer and Shayana Morris: You loved me through all my wrong doings and never gave up on me, even when I left you alone in a corrupt world full of vultures, with just your mothers to guide you. Everything I do now is for you.

I would also like to thank and dedicate this book to a host of very important people in my life, none more important than Yahnise Harmon. Through my whole incarnation, you have never left my side.

Prologue

October 5, 2013

EJ sat at home in his basement office, talking to his best friend and partner about their come-up in the game. They had been best friends since high school and had never let anything or anyone come in between them. If you messed with one, you better be aware because the other one wouldn’t be far behind. EJ was the total opposite of Ed. He was a friendly and outspoken person. EJ stood at 5’9, medium build, low haircut, weighing approximately 175 pounds, firm and cut up with a beard. He was the mastermind of his small organization. He could talk anybody into doing whatever he asked. He wasn’t a violent person, but he could get that way if you forced his hand.

Ed on the other hand, was a cold blooded killer. He was a little thin, but stood at 6’5. His skin was a brown complexion and wore long braids. He was missing a front tooth from being hit with a bat when he was fifteen years old. He was one of the most ruthless people someone would never wanted to meet. Anyone who crossed EJ or Ed might as well tell their mother to get out her black dress. There would sure be a lot of slow singing and flower bringing once it was all said and done.

Even though they both had wives at home, they didn’t hesitate to snatch up a little piece of pussy from time to time at one of the clubs they frequented on the weekends.

Right now though, they were in EJ’s southwest Philly home and they were all about business.

Damn dawg; we finally did it, Ed said while pouring himself a drink from the bar. He was overly excited about the chain of events that had taken place over the last year. You said that we would be millionaires by the time we turned thirty and now look at us. We hit the million mark and we are only twenty-two. I didn’t think it would happen to us this fast in the game, but you had a vision and we turned it into a successful enterprise!

EJ sat in his desk chair with a cool smirk on his face, admiring what his best friend was saying. Just thirty minutes ago, they both had pulled up their overseas bank accounts and realized that they had reached the millionaire mark.

Although that mark came at a deadly and hefty price, it was well worth it. Neither of them thought that they would ever see so many zeros at one time in their accounts so soon. They were living the lifestyle of the rich and famous and to them; they were finally on top of the world.

Yeah dawg, we have come a long way from living in the projects, playing with carts and shit, dry humping on girls, and pretending that we were driving cars. Now we are actually doing that shit, from driving luxury cars to fucking some of the baddest bitches. We are also living in some exotic ass houses, EJ said while looking at a picture of him and his wife Yahnise and their son Ziaire.

EJ met Yahnise in high school and back then, she never would have given him the time of day. She was one of the baddest girls in their school. With a caramel complexion, she weighed 135 pounds, very petite, with a nice ass, and just enough titties to hold in both hands. After EJ started getting money, she noticed the change in him. Now, five years later, they had been married for two of those years. Yahnise still had that same body, but her chest and ass were slightly bigger from giving birth to their one and a half year old son Ziaire.

EJ put the picture down, got up, and walked over to the bar where Ed was standing. He looked at Ed with a serious face and said, We have to find out who this mole in our organization is and eliminate him or her immediately! We can never enjoy all of this wealth until that’s taken care of. We were lucky to make it this far and now we have to be even more cautious.
