I have a loyalty that runs in my bloodstream
â
I have a loyalty that runs in my bloodstream when I lock into someone or something, you can't get me away from it because I commit that thoroughly. That's in friendship, that's a deal, that's a commitment. Don't give me paper
I can get the same lawyer who drew it up to break it. But if you shake my hand, that's for life.
