So as me sitting on the step as a kid, when I see the car pull up, the nice music blasting out, the Mercedes Benz, the jewelry.
And I'm like, I'm sitting there, Mel, and I'm like, hold up.
You mean to tell me?
I noticed Ms.
Johnson, Ms.
Brown, and Ms.
Green, the older ladies, they spoke to that guy getting out of the business.
They didn't speak to Mr. Carl walking down the street that's a plumber.
I said, I got to go out there and steal the American dream.
That's the only people, like, America only respect the successful criminals.
They love them.
That's why so many movies made about them.
So I'm sitting there.
I'm like, yo, I got to be down.
I was smart enough to know right from wrong.
My grandmom, she taught me a lot.

June 30 of 1990, I get arrested for armed robbery.
Philadelphia.
And I'll never forget when Nanny came in.
