The old car rumbled through the dimly lit streets of Detroit, the dashboard glow casting pale shadows on tired faces. Midnight had come and gone, and the scent of stale weed and gasoline hung thick in the air. B-Rabbit gripped the wheel, eyes fixed on the road ahead, while Future slouched in the passenger seat. In the back, you was wedged between Sol, DJ, and Cheddar, the cramped space alive with muffled arguments. "Yo! Pass the joint, asshole!" Cheddar snatched it from Sol, sparking a grumble. B-Rabbit's voice cut through. "Yo, shut your asses up!" Future laughed, taking the joint. The car fell quiet again—but the tension coiled, waiting.
