But what he did was he went and found a mechanic that happened to use drugs, took the mechanic to where they left the car at, popped the ignition out, switched the new ignition in.

If I catch a door lock, I can come in. But if not, I might have to sleep outside, which would be in the neighborhood where they're dealing drugs. And so it was nights when I woke up and all of my bundle was gone. All of my shit was gone. One night I woke up. I had I know I fell asleep with at least 200 bucks and about another 200 worth of product.

Woke up, everything was gone because somebody caught me slipping. But it was it was a lesson that you don't fall asleep out here on the block because we could have just killed you.

And then after about eight months, I ran into my dad one day. He was going to work and he's like, come here. And he's like, how you like it out here in these streets? Because you chose the streets over having a house. You know, your brothers are doing good. Your mom is doing good. And you don't even really come by. But I think you must have came there and showered a few times.

I want to go home, man. So he offered me that.
