Why did I move to Atlanta again?

I'm sitting here surrounded by the remains of what used to be one of the illest cities in the country, asking myself. Why the HELL did I move here again? Oh that's right it was for the girls. But I'm in a 6 year relationship, so I can't use all of the fly ladies of ATL as an excuse to stay here anymore. Damn!!! Oh that's right I came for the job opportunities.  We'll shit, the job market looks like Chris Brown caught it looking at Jay Z again. Eyes front job market!!!! Well at least I got plenty of friends here, who are gonna miss me if I'm gone.....(2 minutes later) Well I called my friends and they told me they found someone else to be the lovable SKETCHWORKS COON, and they won't be talking to me anymore.  But Super Mammys and black crayons aside. ( I still cant believe I did that shit.) Why am I here again? Oh because it's the ATL. The black mecca. The birthplace of crunk music, and the first place I saw more than 5 black college students not playing Spades.  I can't leave now, I've been here 10 years and it's given me so much.  I started my acting & stand up careers here.  I was arrested and taken to jail here.  I've become used to being treated like I'm about to be evicted, even when my rent is on time here.   This is the land of Milk and Honey, and I'm gonna ride this shit out.  But I will tell what will get me outta here real fast.  Shawty from the Deck is unemployed.... That's a major problem. If Obama don't get Shawty from the Deck a job its a rap for this place.  For those of you who don't know who Shawty from the Deck is, let me introduce him to you..... He's the dude with 36 gold teeth, who drives a 88 Chevy Caprice Classic and pronounces Christmas without the S and the T........ IE: Merry CHRI-MAS.  For those of you who still don't know who Shawty from the Deck is, you will get to meet him soon. Cause if economic conditions don't turn around, and you live in Atlanta he will be in your living room at about 2 in the morning. The introduction will go a little something like this.  

Homeowner:  Hey... who the hell are you....and what are you doing in my living room!!!!????

Shawty from Deck: (waving a pistol wildly)  Shut De Fuc Up and git on D flor.  I'm Shawty from the Deck Bitch.  Now Where d money folk?

In conclusion the ATL was and is a cool place for black folks, but it's changed.  Hell I've changed. And maybe it's time for a new place but for now I'm here.  And so is Shawty from the Deck, so watch yo ass.
