Aww…the Anti-American traitor is mad at me again.
Stroll down Lexington park, I’ll pay you
Well, at least you know who you are! You’ll “pay” me? What the heck does that mean. I think you need to look in your English translation book and try again.

You don’t understand what pay means?
Why does crimes keep happening in front of St Mary County police station in Great Mills Road across from canopy liquors, prostitution, shootings, drug activities, what is the showing for St Mary County
Exactly. That substation doesn’t scare those people hanging out! It was built because the county had to much money they didn’t know what to do with.
Just a normal day in the park
