Funny enough, Alijah told his boys way back: “If I’m ever in a coma, don’t bring flowers. Bust in rapping ‘I might swerve, bend that corner, woah’ by @gelo like it’s the national anthem.”
“Because nothing screams perfect timing like saying ‘Swerve on that corner, woah’… right after you actually did. Into a tree. Into a hospital stay😮💨 🗣️WELCOME HOME ❤️,” Gilbert Arenas captioned the post.
