So, yes, I had opportunities to be prepared.

But my mind was always in the streets.

You know, my mind didn't get out the streets until I was like 24.

Maybe 25.

Well, the first thing, I got to Chicago.

I got drafted to Chicago.

Now I'm around like police officers and we associate police officers with like, hey,

don't come out right now, right?

That type of stuff.

So I was never comfortable around that many officers in my life.

So now I'm like, hey, friends, I'm around police, so don't come around me.

You know what I'm saying?

That was one piece.

So I couldn't wait to get out away from police.

Secondly,

You know, the first thing I did in Chicago was I went to Robert Tiller and Cabrini Green.

You know, because that was the hood, 79th and Halstead.

And so I would go hang out in those areas just to be around people from the streets.

And they all love Mobb Deep.

And they all knew I was from Queensborough.
