Samaya and Queen tried letting their past go, but money was their main focus, and it controlled their minds, literally letting their innocence go to the streets, and the shiny pole wasn’t shit to them. When they ran into one of the many wealthy families they betrayed in a long time of come-ups, the scheme had them running. The love for the easy money blinded them from what fake or the real love the men were trying to give, so going with the flow slowed them all the way down into hiding. Holding on to their upbringing of not having shit made them run from family, fuck over friends and themselves at the same time doing dumb shit. Trying not to lose everything they hustled for made them hustle harder, and hit licks. The easy money made them unstoppable at coming up with schemes that almost brought them to life-and-death situations many times.
