Are you serious? I'm
dead serious. That's fucking horrible. That's how we got out the projects. Real talk. I came over there. I used to hate the projects, yo. Like, it felt like hell. So, you know, I just used to play with fire. And one time, you know, we had bunk beds. And it's like this material that hang from your bunk. And it's like a fabric softener type. You know what I'm talking about? Like the sheets. And I lit it. And when I blew it, it spread it. So I'm like, oh shit. Went to the kitchen to fill a bucket up with water. By the time I got back to the room, the whole bunk was on fire.

It's that project electrical.
It's bad electrical. Yeah. So that was, I think that kind of, my mother probably still got a little resentment behind that shit. Because she was like, she was fucked up after that. Oh.

Of course, because I ain't had no dad. So I also went through that thing with my family. My dad was the youngest out of six kids. He got locked up early in my life. So now I'm the kid that I'm over grandma house. Of course, my grandmother, my grandfather became like my primary parents. And they had other kids with other grandkids. So I was like her...
Son, in a sense. And she was older though. So of course, you know, I'm growing up. I'm learning how to get around things, sneaking out the house, stuff like that. And our neighborhood, we lived in a drug infested neighborhood. So it was easy for me to get into drugs. And then people knew my father. So that's when, you know, around like, I say like the fifth, like fifth grade, going to middle school. I started like
getting in the streets. Right. So what are your, you've got like a plug that you're buying?

And I was, I was young, young. And my friend Damo was like, yo, I got a tape recorder over my house. You need to come over here and record yourself. So I'm like, all right. I go over to his house. His house was up the street from my house. His house sat on Forest Park. It's right around my neighborhood named Chelsea Terrace. That's the block right there. That's where all this shit going on. Dame old uncles and his family, They in the streets. So when I go over his house, it was like, over my grandmother house, it was like Christianity.
You know what I mean? I could do whatever I want. She was spoiling me. Grandma love. But when I leave out of her house and go up Damo house, it's dirt bikes, it's pit bulls, it's rap music, it's smoking weed. You feel what I'm saying? Even though they had a grandma, but he had hella cousins. So when I went to his house and began to rap and stuff, of course I started meeting his uncles and Yeah, and that's one thing led to another, man. Uncle K, man. Uncle K, man. Like, yo, you got to get some money. And then one thing led to another.
