Fresh Like Easter Sunday

by Jim Jones

I got fly on Easter. We was kinda spoiled in the projects. My cousins Nee-Nee and Dough and them was kinda spoiled, so every Easter we had the best outfit. Every Easter we had the [new] Jordans. Every year we had the best outfits in the hood where we was from. My best outfit was when them all white Jordans came out with the aqua blue tongue. I caught that that Easter! We had the Levi’s dungaree suits when they had the stone wash. Me and Dough used to come out on niggas! We could wear the same size, so we were switching up on them. Wooooooh!

You just knew, you were sleeping on Easter like, “Easter is about to come up. Niggas plotting for about a month like, “the new Jordans about to come out. I’m going to get the jean suit.” We were just trying to get everything the older niggas had or the dudes that was hustling in the street, with all the new kicks and the new outfits and all that. We like, “Oooooh shit! You ain’t see D?! He got the new Pelle [leather jacket]! Ooooh, we got to get that shit!” Word up, my nigga Deda…he used to have everything coming up man. He’d send you to the sneaker store and tell you to go get two pair of everything he want and go get what you need. Word up! He had all the Pelle’s, shit with the musical notes on them.
