Mi Vida Loca ( my crazy life) by 280

[280SQUAGGLER]

......it was a difficult begining, no money, no bike, no woman, no where to go.....

it all began a long time ago....but we dont have time for that, so I'll begin a few short years ago.

Life sucked, I was broke on the streets, kicked to the curb by everyone I knew, life was hard.

[280SQUAGGLER]

so I enlisted and went off to fight in Vietnam, to make a name for myself.....

the war life was rough, we had to parachute down to avoid getting killed....

I became one of the most famous pilots in history.
This was my favorite aircraft to fly.

here's one of the many jeeps they worked on together, as you can see it left me stranded out in the war zone......

[280SQUAGGLER]

after I helped win the war for our country, I came home and was given $20 and told to hit the road. I cant believe how this country treats one of the greatest war heros ever.

So I started selling ice-cream in my old hood......"PALETAS!!!!!!!"

[280SQUAGGLER]

money started rolling in, and my lifestyle changed, I picked up an old car for $250 and fixed it up cherry, and threw on these tight rims for only $3500 (what a deal)..........bling bling :cool
