surprised just keep on walking.

17. Finally, The First Corner Rule. Very Important!! If you
find yourself walking alone & you see people following &
your Instinct tells you shit’s about to go down you’re damn
right, shit’s about to go down so stay calm, act confident,
don’t run at that point because if you run they will chase
you & catch your ass then get some ass whooping but, at
the first corner run as if you’re trying to break Caster
Semenya’s record, & When you look back you’ll see them
Running after you from a distance. Remember, first corner
