Metta World Peace

You get tired of it.

So I can't remember a year where that toughness wasn't growing.

In the 80s, that's when the crack epidemic hit.

And I didn't know that was the era we were going through until you see the documentaries on it.

And we was in the heart of the city with the biggest, everything moving through our neighborhood.

So from that perspective, we had foreigners, we had outsiders coming into our neighborhood trying to set up shop.

And as they were setting up shop, then our neighborhood got tired of it.

Then we had to push them out.

by way of activity.

And we had to get back control of our neighborhood.

Not us, I was young.

The older folks had to get back control over our neighborhood.

So it's like that type of stuff.

So I can't really remember a time where we wasn't on our P's and Q's.

So suspended every year for what, just fights?

Fights, mostly fights.

I remember one kid jumped in front of me on the lunch line.

And I punched him in his face.

You know, I said, that's second grade.

Like, how do you develop that type of low tolerance?
