Growing up with Petey Greene Petey Greene told it like it was. And there’s nothing like hearing the truth from a heroin addict, and an ex convict, A man just peaking his mind, telling it like it was to the faces of white crackers, and calling out the ‘N’ word. And then he’d laugh and break everything down with a joke. And everyone had no choice but to laugh. He was just like that. Posted 06/20/09 by wa ching
