Once, he placed his eyes on me!

He run and hugged me.

"Grandma!"

I knew Chris would be special.

He was loving, kind, genuine.

There was a jazz musician used to live on my block

on Saint James.

And this guy was real cool.

So, I would just come by the house all the time.

I used to draw back in the day...

back like in 4th, 5th grade.

You know they was always like,

"Take that talent that you have, and...

think of something that you can do in the future with it, and build on it."

And I was like, "Well, I like to draw...

so what could I do with drawing?"

What, am I gonna be the one at the art dealer?

Nah, I'm not gonna be that type of nigga.

I was more like maybe I could do like, big billboards and shit.

Like commercial art. Like in commercials.

That's like, so long ago though.

And then after that I got introduced to crack!

Commercial art?

I'm out here for twenty minutes...

I can get some paper! Some real, real, money man!

My man "O."

We used to be hustling.

All of us dropped out of school...

fifteen, fourteen years old.

We were sitting on like six grand, seven grand a week.

Just living.

To be in Junior M.A.F.I.A., you gotta be a friend, you know what I'm saying?

And they my friends... I've known them since we was little.

We all used to do the same things together.

We all from the same neighborhood, so…

I just had to make sure everybody was straight.

So what are we going to look for in your album?

Is it going to be some more like "Party & Bullshit"?

Nah, nah it ain't going to be no more happy shit.

See I had to do a happy song, because that was a happy movie.

I'm hardcore. Street bound. Thug nigga.

Thug for life.

One Sunday morning, I turned on the television.

Saw it on the television,

The Notorious B.I.G was gunned down at Los Angeles last night.

Some hospital tried to perform an emergency operation,

and he was pronounced dead.

I can't understand why...

they had to take away his life like that.

When I look at my daughter and my son...

it's like it's something to live for.

I'm doing it for them.

Everything I do, I'm just doing it for them.

I've always said I'm like the eyes of the world,

'cause I done did all the bullshit!

But you gotta learn from your mistakes.

Now it's my time to speak about it.

Not necessarily about making my story,

"You shouldn't do this,"

or, "You should do this."

But just making my story, it's like...

"This is how it is."
