I'm like, man, I want to go in there.

But I never would go in there.

I would just pass by, and I would get home, and I would talk to my bed mom.

I'm like, man, there's this gym called Tap.

I really want to go.

She's like, oh, yeah, but I was talking about it all the time.

But I never had like...

I don't know, you know, it's kind of nervous.

It's kind of nervous walking into a gym for the first time and you don't know what to expect.

But I was just a fan.

And so I walked, actually, the way I got started was it was our anniversary and as a gift she gave me a gym membership.

And then I went to the gym and the coaches were like, yo, dude, like, who is this guy, you know?

But when I first went there, I was like so raw and just so like street fighting experience.

But I had power.

I had some power.

And, you know, I just fell in love with it.

And the coaches were like, even the days I wouldn't show up because in the beginning of it,

I was still like, still had that knucklehead mentality.

I'll still be out partying with my friends or not show up to the gym.

And coaches will actually call me like, yo, where are you at?
