Well, you know, my mother was pretty.
Since I was a baby, my mother really, she stuck by me regardless of what I did.
But I had a lot of problems from the rest of my family.
My father, my grandmother, they really were pretty down on me.
And my siblings, they didn't really understand where I was coming from anyway.
But I have to say that my mother really believed in me all the way.
And I'm really happy that...
I was able to get myself together before she left the scene.
So she kind of saw me start to make records and so on like that.
So I sort of made her feel that her trust wasn't exactly all in vain, you know.
Oh, yeah, I was arrested.
Unfortunately, I had to get involved with the justice system and all of this stuff, you know.
But I was always lucky because I was able to get involved with music programs.
