Wanna share a spicy story ?

Sitting at wonderland years ago minding my own business and Rune wonder grabs me and says were taking a walk. If you know Rune then youll know I was lke shit where you taking me. We walk round the back of pusher street and hes like “get your gun out”, im like what?? He puts my hand into the shape of a gun (not a real gun) and he does the same with his hand. Then hes like ok we gona rob these guys right now. So we jump into the tent full of pushers and he makes me take all this shit, weed, hash , pre rolls . He grabs a bunch of stuff too. The whole time the dudes in the tent are just looking real pissed off. I thought i might die but its a cool story. We rolled back to wonder and i gave everything to the homies and got the hell out of there. I found out the next day Rune was just punkin me and he knew those guys in the tent. Hes had my back ever since. Love you dog!
