Man, number one, whatever you're doing that's negative, you can't escape from it. There's a million, tens of millions of people who have done the exact same thing that you're currently doing. And you know how that movie is going to end. And it's going to end the same way for you if you continue down that path. And what I would tell folks is you don't have to know what it is you want to do.

You just know that you want to do something. So why not put positive energy into whatever it is you're trying to do or just put positive energy into your life, period. Like, you know, an acronym that I love is a positive energy activates constant elevation.

Yeah. Positive energy activates constant elevation. Right. So for me, it was I know that if I constantly keep doing this, like my dad said, I may end up in jail, dead or broke, sitting under the tree. And when you start seeing that actually happen, whether it's to you or other people around you. If you continue down that path, once again, you made the choice. You got to deal with it.

But for me, I decided to say, yo, I'm going to do whatever I got to do to not do this. So I worked at I worked at Taco Bell. I worked at a clothing store in the mall called Demo. I did telemarketing. I was the guy that would call your house and try to sell you 20 CDs for a penny. Like I did. I did so many. I did so many fucking odd jobs like just just to avoid being in the street.

The first time I got arrested, I was sitting in the backseat of a car and one of my homeboys shot at somebody. So, you know, we all ended up going to jail. Literally, they came and got me out of high school. The second high school I had went to because I got kicked out of the first high school. And my mom was teaching at this high school, Scratford High School.

And I tried to be on the straight and narrow a little bit. But to your point, the allure of the streets, right? Like, you know, a lot of the people that I was hanging around and being with, they were...
