I might need more practice. I'm not ready for the game. I'm not ready to go in the game yet. Give me a little more practice, coach. And it hurts to be loyal. It freaking hurts. But without loyalty, we're... We're ghost ships. We got no strength. We got nothing. We got nothing. We got nothing.

I guess it was the second time in my life I felt betrayed. The first time was when I was whatever, young, 17, and I got arrested. I was with all these older guys, tough guys, whatever, supposedly. And the detectives separated us. That's what they do. And they asked me who did whatever, who's gunned, this, that, all that, the particulars of obviously what we did. And it was me.

The way, you know, you're going to wind up in Rikers and they're going to be doing this to you. And I won't even say the things because then why say them, you know? Figure it out.

But, you know, they're trying to get what they're trying to get and, you know, you want to change it? And no. No. But I felt very betrayed, you know? And especially when I was standing in the cell at Rikers looking at the airplanes leave LaGuardia Airport and then hoping I was on one.
