wey burna boy abi e dey fear to talk again

Mine was back in my university days, I was taking a stroll one early morning around past 6 smoking happily and listening to "patient" by postie, when I saw their van drive pass me, first instinct was just to run but the next thing I did still leaves me shock till this day. I swallowed the half blunt together with the smoke I previously dragged before seeing them, all this while it was still on, the pain I felt that day is undescribable. If to say they just say good morning to me that day lasun they for notice smoke coming out of my ear.
