Text at top: You are such a handsome boy,/ why are you wearing/ that dreadful mask?
Text left: Mom, I'm going to have/ a hard death, aren't I?
Text at bottom center: Bro, take off that mask/ and put on some clothes!/ Annie's here!
Text at bottom right: Jeezy's mother seems/ a little strange...
Text at center right: In thrall to the Holy Ghost,/ that'll do it
to you!/ But her son's the one/with real problems. |
