And then that eventually turned into me getting a gig.

And I remember one day, my man Ron White, who was the music director, still a good friend of mine to this day, he comes to me and he goes, yo, you ever thought about being on the radio?

Same way that when I was sitting in Moncks Corner, South Carolina, and, you know, my father would tell me if I don't change my lifestyle, I'm going to end up in jail, dead or broke, sitting under the tree.
