Baptized in GXLD

About the Book

Sweet 16 is mispronounced as Sinning 16 by my preacher dad And my first lady mom. They are right, so right. 16 is the year of sinners’ Paradise. They said I’m Not allowed to practice those Old American traditional classics Because they are granting me A religious extradition to save me From sinning recklessly. It’s not easy being baptized in gold. God and Gold is all I know and I’m about to go reckless; I love Him but I’m going To rebel against religion I know He will understand.
