Like it was like where I'm from is a two square mile city and it was the murder capital of the United States.

So it was like, it's cleaned up now tremendously, but it was like, you didn't, you didn't play.

You always read about people dying gangs.

And it was like, that was something she didn't mess around with.

You couldn't joke about it or anything.

You know, I tried joking around about it, um,

when he got into like some discussion, I was like, well, I'm just going to join a gang.

And, you know, I'll walk out the house with my pants sagging.

And she's like, no, bring, bring your ass back here.

Like we, we not doing that.

So it was, man, it was scary at times.

Yeah.

You know, it was, I mean, you would hear like occasionally New Year's guns going off, but it was like consistently, like every night you would hear guns going off, you know, you hear about people getting shot and, and,

People you know.

Yeah, yeah.

Like where I live, we had – it wasn't a big city, East Palo Alto.

Devontae Adams said it the best.

It was like there's Palo Alto, which is like where Stanford University and all that stuff is, and there's East Palo Alto.

So it's like Pride Rock and Elephant Graveyard.

Like you didn't cross sides.
