Girl you gave me some ideas, suggestions and real talk, it was on point with a true Christian lifestyle. We were people before we were Christians...and we are mere Christians before we are truly Christ like and we falter…and fail...and stumble....and are FORGIVEN...that’s the true WORD SIS!

—Nicole BanglesnBling Burton

Imma need Yungin to let Shelia have went outside and whoop that bitch Chassity ass. But Wow that bitch was in love she burnt the house down. I can’t wait to read the rest. Hurry!!!!!!!! How in hell people will kill you before you are dead? I mean Yungin was put in the ambulance but the people didn’t say he was dead but Facebook said it for them before they knew anything, WTF! That’s Facebook. One more thing I have to tell you about CorneliaGail GroundUp Facebook the New Look is the hoe Tonya is a good friend because she reminded me of me. If my friend doesn’t respond to my text or answer the phone for me, I am going to find her and see what’s going on also and that’s what Tonya did for Shelia and saved her life. That’s what friends are for, you go Tonya….

—Trina Kimbrough

—Schanada ThickMadame Bailey

I am anticipating the release of CorneliaGail GroundUp new book, but for some reason I think she shorted me some paragraphs from the first chapter!!!!!!!!!!! I love it already; keep up the good work Hun, Luv you. I would have left more feedback but I was upset because I was feeling like that was me and Yungin instead of Shelia can’t wait.

—Linneka Overton

I usually only read self-help books, however I see your hustle and how u promote urself and the ones in your life. I believe this book will be a success and I pray that God will continue to use you for his purpose to reach the multitudes as u continue to share your gift. U have my backing I would have to say that I cannot wait to read the next chapters of this young woman’s book. Very intrigued..... With CorneliaGail GroundUp

—Tiffany Brown

LOL!! That book Funny, Diamond seem crazy an how she never suck dick an then next thing she was pro :-) LOL!!! It’s good tho, I like it.

—Denard Carrington

I must say that my loyal friend (the author) has outdone herself with this book. I’m super excited about how the outcome of this book is going to be fulfilled. I think that I can relate to Diamond the most because she seems a lot like myself. Meaning, I’ve always had a nigga wanting me, the same way Rakim wanted her but there was always a Bishop in my life. Also, Diamond was taken off the scene by murder, due to the FED’S. I was also taken off the scene by the Fed’s, not by death but by a 121 month (10 year) prison sentence....WOW!!! However, at the end of the day, I’ll be enjoying my righteous living Bishop again on an island, as Diamond did in Jamaica.

Sooner than later! So, let this book be an educational device on the outcome of that lifestyle and if that’s not enough let my life story be that device because I’ll give it to you raw and uncut from Coleman Federal Prison Camp in Florida, where I currently reside! Cornelia (Bay Bay) Gail...I love you and wish you the best on this book... From one Diva to another Diva, I give you 5 stars on this book.

—Your Friend Zsa-Zsa Council, A.K.A. Toochie

Chapter 1

Sexting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That paper run and I chase it ha, rung thru letting Lil Yungin know he had a text message coming in from his cousin Peaches. He had Yung Mane from Strap Up as his ringtone. You gave your life to the Lord huh; you joined the church cousin? Peaches questioned, while still reading through the newsfeed on her Facebook page.

Instead of Lil Yungin responding, he picked up the phone to call Peaches. Damn cuz, who told you that dat quick. We ain’t even out the church parking lot yet? I know the city talking, Peaches replied knowing Yungin was irritated. He couldn’t do anything without people being all up in his business like paparazzi.

A nigga can’t catch a break out this mother fucker damn. Yungin stated, shaking his head. You know she on Facebook Brah, them bitches kill me with that Facebook shit, Rakim chimed in. Well you know how it goes Superstar. I know niggas need to get off my dick and get a life, Yungin responded to Peaches. Naw but for real though, it’s on your Facebook page. Chassity tagged you in a post and said, The church gone burn up cause Yungin and Rakim just walked the aisle. Stop playing, you serious? As a heart attack, you joined the church right?" Peaches replied, laughing her ass off.

Peaches thought them two going to church was funny, less more to even join. She never even considered going to anybody’s church. Her favorite quote was, "I
