John Smith

Took the money, six, seven hundred bucks and drove off and like, all right, we'll see you later. We know you. We know we'll see you again. Never reported. No one said anything. And this is in the 90s where it seemed like nobody cared. So why do we care about cops? They don't even care about us. They're taking our money. They're fighting with us, kicking our asses.

And every now and then we might get one of them. Nobody cares about nothing. Nobody cares about even like I've been to jail already. I'm like, well, jail ain't the worst place to go if I had to go. But I never actually did any time. Everything was in and out. So from here. Things went kind of good and they just start growing fast because the weed business was growing.

I was able to start selling weight. I made it into a business where buy more, get it cheaper, sell it for higher. I'm able to supply enough guys to keep me kind of out the way off the front line and I made a good living. So now I'm kind of rolling in money and everything is going smooth. Like I said, everything's going smooth, but. Not without incident.

Again, you get a few losses here, a few losses there, but nothing to never take you out the game. So how long does that go? That goes until that goes for a couple of years. That goes for a couple of years while I ran into a little case where I got caught with a pirated cell phone. Like you remember those phones they used to put these chips in where you don't have to get the bill.

One of these cops caught me. One of these cops caught me with that. Mind you, I go into jail for that. But I get right out. It's no big deal. It's nothing major. You just bail. At this point, 17, you can just bail out of jail. Okay, cool. I just bailed out. Got right out. But I was able to just really, really get rolling. But things started to change again. I ended up...

Meeting other women now, but not getting too serious with them. And then I finally met one that I ended up having a baby with. But that scared the hell out of me. You know, going into fatherhood. Now, like I said, 18, 19 years old. My daughter's 26 now. And I'm thinking, like, what am I going to do? I need to make more money because I'm about to have a baby.
