“Any young n***a doing that s**t, this should influence you to stop. If it don’t, drink a lot of water at the minimum. …F— that cup,” Mozzy said while pouring an entire bottle of codeine-promethazine onto the ground of a local gas station. “They say health is wealth. I need my bag.”

Fredo wrote in Mozzy’s comment section, “I’m almost 60 days clean bro f**k dat lean s**t.”
