My neighbor is nosy and won'tstay out my business.
What should I do?
I like letters like this,straight to the point.
Nosy neighbor.

They're everywhere.
You know the neighbor that seemsto come out and check their
mailbox the same time you comeout and check your mailbox?
The neighbor that wants to comeoutside and wash their car or
something the same time yououtside washing your car.
What are we doing?

(01:29):
I look through my window.
I see you peeking through yourwindow.
What type of crazy ass shit isthis?
Is your neighbor nosy or arethey a fucking stalker?
Because it's crazy out here hownosy these neighbors are.
And then look, check this out.
I'm yo, check this out.

(01:50):
The neighbor fuck around and getyour mail, right now.
He bringing your mail to yourcrib.
You open the door, you see it'sthe neighbor, you're already
cursing yourself.
Like, oh, this what the fuckthis motherfucker want.
But you see, they holding mail,so you like, oh shit, it must be
my mail.
So you open the shit up.
Why would a neighbor giving youyour mail?
The motherfucker trying to lookover you in your crib to be

(02:14):
nosy.
It's it's crazy, man.
That that people are so nosy.
And why the nosy neighbors wantto talk so goddamn much, man?
Every time you see them, it'slike it's a conversation.
They want to they want to saysomething, they want to act
something.
It's something.
Me, I don't do no eye contact.
This is what you need to do withnosy name.
Do not give them eye contact.

(02:36):
Because once they see you, seethem, it's a rap.
Something is they're gonna talkabout something, they're gonna
start approaching you.
Something is gonna run, don't noeye contact, bro.
When you go in the crib, lookstraight at your door, open your
shit and walk straight in.
Do not pay attention to the nosyneighbor because if you do,

(03:01):
you're gonna be there for about15 minutes talking about some
bullshit that you ain't evengonna remember when you go in
the house.
So it's crazy, man.
Dude, I know everybody's hadthis neighbor.
The old lady that sits in thewindow all day and watches
everything.
When I say everything,everything.

(03:23):
This lady knows everything thathappens on the block.
Who moved in, who moved out, whoarguing, who playing loud music,
what call, who call it, the ladyknows everything.
This lady is on everybody block,whether you know or not, this
lady exists on everybody blockthat sits in the window and

(03:46):
watches everything happening allday.
So if you're doing anything thatyou don't need to be doing, do
not do it in front of thislady's house because she's gonna
snitch on you if somebody comesaround because she loves to talk
and she loves company.
So if somebody asks her what'sgoing on, she's gonna spill the
beans.

(04:06):
This nosy lady is crazy.
So, what you should do with thiswith the the nosy neighbor,
right?
Slap the shit out of them.
That's what you should do.
Not the old lady, though.
Don't don't don't hit the oldlady, not the old lady in the
window, the other neighborthat's not an old lady.

(04:27):
Slap the shit out of nah,seriously, don't slap them.
You be wanting to, though.
You can just just no eyecontact, keep it moving, walk
straight, avoid anyconversation, right?
I act a little, I look a littlemean when I get out the car.

(04:47):
So I I look unapproachable.
Leave leave me alone.
It's like it's been a long day.
You don't really want to talk tome right now.
So that's that's my face when Iget out the car.
I don't even care if I'm in thecar having fun, music blasting,
I'm chilling.
If I see your ass outside, whenI get out the car, my whole shit
change up.

(05:08):
I'm looking at you crazy.
I'm looking crazy getting out.
So you do that a couple oftimes.
The nosy neighbor, first of all,is gonna stop talking to you and
look in your way.
Because they like, oh no, I'mnot messing with this person.
So that's my advice to you.
You know, you can take eitherone you want to, you know what

(05:28):
I'm saying?
But no eye contact, keep itmoving, head straight into the
crib, stop talking.
And if you do get caught up in aconversation, make the
conversation real blunt andalways act like you're in a
rush.
That's about it.
And you should be good.
You know what I mean?
Another easy one.
You already know what it is,man.
