Pop Pistols I got woods in the back of my house, but we actually went to the range today. We was out there bustin’. Sometimes we just go into the backyard and put it up in the trees. Target practice. That’s the least important thing to do on your day off. Smoke A Lil Reefer I ain’t no weed head, but I do smoke on occasion. Go To The Studio I’m in the studio right now. I still work on my day off. I have a studio at my DJ’s house; I record at his spot. I’ve got equipment over here so we just kept it at his crib, and it ain’t far from my spot. Go To The Recreation Department I just went by there and took the kids like 100 packs of popsicles. I go to the Petersburg Department of Recreation because I used to be enrolled in their program when I was younger.

Get Some Time In With My Little Brother My brother is 12, but he’s gone on summer vacation right now. We might play X-Box, go go-cart racing, hit the movies, or just kick it. I just left the movies with my lil’ cousins. My mama’s youngest daughter has three kids, so I took them to see Transformers.

Get Some Time In With My Mama and Grandmama Gotta put some time in with my women, you know? My grandmamma, she’s got this newfound love for gardening. She was telling me how the vegetables touch the ground and it stops them from growing, so I stopped by there earlier and helped bind ‘em so they’ll grow upwards. She was happy as hell when I went over there. I used to live with my grandmamma but she don’t see much as much now. I took my mama out to lunch today, too.

Work Out I got weights downstairs at my house. On the road I try to work out too, but some of the hotels don’t have good equipment so I gotta get my workout in at home.

Fuck With My Cars I’ve got old school cars, so my brother and my peoples start ‘em up while I’m gone. But if I haven’t driven them for a while, I’ll take ‘em out and hit the highways. I ride out about 45 minutes one way and just come back.
Sleep When I come home, I go straight to sleep. That’s gotta be number one, cause as soon as I get off the plane, I sleep til my body gets up.
