I was born into a drug house. My parents both cracked out druggies with people always coming in and out to buy stuff. I lived in a shelter for 3 years of my life. I grew up in a "real" ghetto. If you ever get a chance, do some research on Vallejo, California. That is also where E-40 is from.

I lived in 3 different states in 2 years. Went to 6 different high schools. I've had a gun put to my head just for a damn CD player.

I used to sit around my house watching these people do drugs. There were MANY times that we didn't know if we would have dinner. Or even breakfast the next morning. There were times where my brothers and I had to sell drugs or steal money from people to make sure that my mom had enough money to pay the bills.

My parents still use drugs. They still are the same way. I watched my dad beat on my mom when I was just 6 years old. Can you imagine that? Seeing your own dad beat up your mom when your 6 years old.

My brothers were both in gangs. One got shot and was real close to dying due to the bullet being lodged in his chest.




Now again. I am NOT in any way trying to glorify my past or trying to act like some kinda "gangster" because I'm not. What I am trying to do is, show you that I survived ALL of this without depending on drugs to take my mind off of it. And hopefully you can do the same.
