The Westside can be tough in many cities. A guy from my past there died suddenly. I asked an old buddy what happened? He said “Jerry”was involved with some really bad people. He went on to say that he died from Westside Lead Poisoning . I asked did he live in an old house with lead paint? He replied NO, it was the Lead from the bullet in his heart !
Jerry was involved with some terrible people. He crossed them up too. It was not long after that he succumbed to Westside Lead Poisoning.

"Tony has a lead foot. It's a wonder how he's still alive, let alone legally allowed to drive. If you ever have to travel anywhere in a hurry, he's your man. Otherwise, make sure you're never in a vehicle where he's behind the wheel."
