    In 1998, my friend’s older brother brought this song over to a party on a CD-R burned using Nero. It was the only song on the disc and we played it on loop for 12 hours. Best party of my life, man.

Sure enough he did. Very fuckin proud of it and I have it framed and hanging on my wall 22 years later. Much love, Lil' Troy! Peace✌

Fat pat and yungstar are the keys to this song. And HAWK at the end. It just bothers me that lil Troy gets the credit when he was a nothing and the Houston legends get no respect from this song because they aren’t the titled artist.

      I'm an older Dominos driver (30) and I can vouch... work it full-time, closing shifts as much as possible (PM and late-night rush within those 8-9 hours) and find one in a good area with non-shitty hotels = You can make 35-45k easy. Taking home $100 - 150 in cash tips after every close and that's not counting what you're getting on your paycheck for that day (around 90 bucks). And it's chill as hell if you have a smart/good GM at that particular store. Pretty shitty job if your GM is incompetent.
      Oh and all the free Dominos food you can handle (cut my monthly grocery bill in half). Didn't expect this comment on this song so I had to reply!
