![]() ![]() He would be tardy, leave the line so he could write some lyrics that came to his head or ditch work to head over to some open mic night to show off his skills to a dozen people. Darnell worked the fast-food circuits and never made it more than a year at any place. They would fight every week and he would hide in his room with tears in his eyes saying the same mantra every time "Once you sign a contract and make that paper, they'll see, and then they'll be sorry."ĭarnell graduated and the second he did, his parents got him an apartment out of town and told him to start working as no college was going to enroll a C minus student.

Though he never would apply it to anything else but to music. Short stories, essays, and even song lyrics were all his jam and it even made his teachers proud of him.

His street family was, in fact, a gang that didn't really go around looting and shooting others but rather the ones who would talk a lot of smack to others and the occasional fight breaks out. His parents worked hard to provide him with the most they could but Darnell took what he could and never thanked anyone for it as his friends would call them "providers" rather than parents. ![]() Darnell Thomson was raised by two different families the one that gave birth to him and then there are the ones from the neighborhood that cared for him. ![]()
