I was there, if I remember right.
I got busted when I was 14, going on 15.
And then I got out, I think, when I was almost 17 or something like that, maybe a little bit older.
And then I went to continuation school, finished up my school, got my diploma before I turned 18.
And that's kind of where it all started, going downhill.
Yeah.
Me and my stepdad didn't get along a lot.
So I was basically running away.
I was with my grandma for the most part of my life, rest in peace.
After I graduated, I tried to get jobs.
Nobody would hire me.
Handed in 100 applications.
Nobody hired me.
I found a family member.
I won't mention his name or anything like that.
But we got along really well.
And he was a homeboy, you know.
And one thing led to another.
I started hanging out with him.
All his friends, they all do crank, you know.
