POLO IN JAIL (LO-LIFES NEW YORK CITY)
A lot Lo-Lifes not only held down the culture of polo on the streets, but we did so in jail as well. It was Lo-Lifes who repped those L's behind the wall for real. Like my man Ralph-Lo, he's a prime example of a nigga that reps fully behind the wall. What do heads know about being LO DOWN in jail. We did because we are some live motherfuckers. But being in jail you couldn't wear shit like POLO unless you had heart. You had to be going all out for yours. Because once the inmates seen that Lo shit, the drama was on.Niggas would get locked up and have half of damn near their whole collection behind bars. Shit I remember going through Rikers Island with the big cross flag hoodey, black guess jeans and 1500 new balance. I also had a mouth full of fronts. 6 tops and 6 bottoms to be exact. Shit I was a walking target going to the mess hall and niggas was preying on my Lo shit and all. But shit is that way and either you survive or buckle and a nigga like me is a survivor. I respect them inmates who were scheming, but fuck them. I came home with all of my shit. Remember were talking early 90s on Rikers Island. The jail was fucking crazy. I seen some of the craziest shit. Some of that shit shocked me, but I became immune to the shit.And you know my lo collection was heavy so I wore lo allday everyday. And not that I was a super gangsta, but very adaptable.I had so much lo I left some of that shit with my comrads in 3 lower.My niggas Thirstin Howl The 3rd aka Big Vic Lo and G George from St Johns and Utica are fuckin gangstas to the heart. Them 2 dudes sported polo throughout their whole bids. And they lived in some of New York States worse Prisons. Now imagine that shit, you in prison with killers, robbers, kidnappers, drug dealers, murderers and you still fucking rep that lo shit to the death. And not only that you have other inmates acknowledging that shit. Thirstin and G George even had their cells looking like lo mansions behind bars style.So this lo shit runs deep. We rock lo but we have crazy big hearts. we rep this culture for real. Street culture that is. This is just how we do.We rep the lo shit for real. This is no fake shit here. This is the truth. Heads know how it was when they got bagged up and went through the system Lo Down. And all those heads that made it up north and did time, when they came home it was brand new lo waiting for them. We celebrated by giving them new lo pieces. You know why? because the lo was equivalent to money, jewelry and even having a car. That's how we looked at Polo Ralph Lauren. It was our duties to be the flyest and we did that, hands down. The history speaks for itself. How many heads experienced shit on that level. So now we are taking this lo thing from the streets to corporate suites. All of my official lo heads suit up, the MEEAHH is on!!LL
