[00:14.45]
[00:16.23]I was three feet from the floor,
[00:18.42]gasping for air,
[00:19.62]trying to release my father’s hands from my throat.
[00:22.95]I looked into his eyes
[00:25.36]and wondered if my feet would ever touch the floor again.
[00:29.52]
[00:32.93]Have you ever been hit so hard
[00:34.20]that it sends your body flying across the room?
[00:37.70]
[00:40.34]We all fall to the floor at some point,
[00:44.18]it’s how you pick yourself up,
[00:46.45]that’s the real challenge, isn’t it?
[00:50.55]
[00:53.70]I’ve always lived in my own world,
[00:56.80]I dance to escape my troubles.
[00:59.64]
[01:05.83]I’ve learned that there’s light,
[01:08.11]even in the darkest places.
[01:11.30]
[01:13.36]I can’t blame my father for anything,
[01:16.48]you can’t rely on other people to make you happy,
[01:19.45]but I know deep down inside, he loved me.
[01:24.29]
[01:29.00]There was a time,
[01:30.78]I suffered so much,
[01:32.02]I wanted to get it out of me.
[01:35.15]I would cut my arms,
[01:36.41]not to kill myself,
[01:38.97]I don’t want to die,
[01:40.90]I know I am lucky to be on this earth.
[01:44.42]
[01:47.76]I did it so the physical pain would come
[01:50.10]with the pain that was eating me inside,
[01:53.41]nothing was erased.
[01:57.59]
[01:59.78]I live with my past tucked away,
[02:02.87]deep inside of me.
[02:07.87]
[02:09.06]It comes out as an explosion,
[02:10.96]and it invades me.
[02:14.08]
[02:20.61]I believe we are messengers on earth,
[02:22.76]I believe in angels.
[02:26.41]I am blessed by God to tell myself
[02:28.30]I suffered that much to become who I am today.
[02:31.74]
[02:37.83]Now you have to realise,
[02:39.49]not only do I have my family,
[02:40.71]but now I have a whole hood,
[02:42.81]and that’s power,
[02:43.75]but I ain’t no grimy assed nigger,
[02:46.96]I was never out to kill anybody,
[02:48.74]especially when I made that decision to gang bang.
[02:53.33]I just wanted to fit in,
[02:56.14]but one day I was forced to do something
[03:00.38]that made me open my eyes,
[03:02.63]I realised that this shit ain’t no game,
[03:06.78]one of the homies got popped,
[03:08.63]and I was pressured into doing my first drive-by,
[03:11.82]it was kinda fucked up the way
[03:14.82]they tried to set me up.
[03:20.68]Me and my bro,
[03:21.43]we was headed back to the 8 block,
[03:23.53]and some homies rolled up,
[03:24.99]and they asked us to go somewhere.
[03:28.80]We pulled up to the corner,
[03:30.71]then he placed a chunky assed gun in my lap,
[03:34.95]he said you know what to do with it,
[03:37.07]it’s time to get a poppin for the hood,
[03:42.79]but I wasn’t out to kill anybody.
