got a fight with him concerning<br />
at&amp;t's. that day i got a phone-<br />
call from sledgehammer asking me<br />
cuz bam bam was at the point of<br />
being thrown out!<br />
so i joined on the condition that<br />
my good friend rico could also<br />
join, and well, i'm still here...<br />

new groups who die and start a<br />

to reach ?<br />
<br />
