Then my dad, after he's working, he coming home.

If he come home late, then we know he get ready to come home and fight my mama.

Well, at the time my dad was doing, he worked as a service for dry cleaning.

And then he started driving the trucks later on.

He went by the bar, got drunk, and then he'll come home.

And if he drinking, you know he coming home and going to fight.

So it's going to be, we're going to run out the house.

You're going to beat my mama up or some shit, you know.

So I had to deal with all that shit mentally growing up as a kid.

And that shit traumatized me.

But it made me a strong woman, you know, as I grew older.

My mom and daddy stayed together to death they parted.

To death they parted.

My mom and dad stayed together.

I don't know how she did it, but he really, him unintentionally, through him, the trauma that I got, him, I think what it was the best for me because he made me the strongest woman that I am.

Unintentionally, you know what I'm saying?

Traumatizing me like that just made me a stronger woman.

That's all.

Yeah, I'm in school.

I go to school.
