EASTSIDE $TAKKS

Skitt · July 22, 2024

As Stakks spent more time in the hood, he found himself drawn deeper into the gang war between the City Circle Piru and the Eastside Hustler Crips. The rivalry was fierce, and the streets became even more dangerous. One fateful day, Stakks was robbed at point-blank range in broad daylight. The incident shook him to his core, leaving him more paranoid and cautious. He started moving differently, always watching his back and becoming less shy, his natural humor and friendliness replaced with a steely resolve.

Stakks dove deeper into drug dealing, expanding his operations and becoming a notorious figure in the neighborhood. His ambition and ruthlessness earned him a reputation as a vicious dope dealer. With his newfound power, Stakks began to force the local youth to participate in his illegal activities, recruiting them into the gang and pushing them to sell drugs and run errands.

As Stakks' illegal activities became more prominent, his mother started to notice the influx of money that was clearly coming from questionable sources. Fearful for her younger son, and not wanting him to follow the same path, she made the heartbreaking decision to kick Dewayne out of the house. She hoped this tough love would serve as a wake-up call, forcing him to reconsider his choices.

Out on the streets, Stakks' paranoia and caution only intensified. He began to cover his body with gang-related tattoos, each one marking his allegiance and his rise within the gang. These tattoos became a shield, a statement of his identity and his commitment to the life he had chosen. But they also served as a reminder of how deeply he was entrenched in the dangerous world of gangs and drugs.

Despite being kicked out, Stakks continued to send money home to his mother, trying to support her from a distance. He justified his actions by telling himself it was all for her, but deep down, he knew he was getting further away from the
boy who once dreamed of a better life. The streets were his home now, and the gang was his family.
