 Yeah, we on boss talk one on one, one on one. Yeah, we gon' talk. Yes, tell us a little bit about your upbringing. Well, you know by my name. I was a bad child, you know. I got that name, I was a child that. Like how old were you when you got that name? 10 years old when I got shot. You got shot? Yeah, in the head. They say it was like an inch close out of being dead. By who? Believe it or not, it was my cousin, Nick, though. Playing with a gun. Playing with a gun? Man to shoot you? You see how tall I'm in, I'm like 6'3", so when I was 10, I was like 5'10", but I was bad. Y'all remember, what was that name of that movie when that boy was stealing them CD player, that he jumped over the fence? Oh, J-Rock on South Central. I was J-Rock, yeah. At 10 years old. At 10 years old. I was stealing my cousin's CD player at his car. And he thought I was a grown man, so when I started running, he shot me. So he didn't know it was you? Nah, he ain't know. That's why my mom didn't even pray at your house. Cause I shouldn't have been out there. And I ran in the house to my momma crying. I'm like, momma, I been shot. She ain't number 23. I mean, no, she was 29 then. And she like, boy, you ain't been shot. And she looked like just in the blood running from my face in my face. You know how to win me, huh? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, she went in. Yeah, hold up the phone. Yeah, but that's how I got the name in. Like, old folks, while I'm from one street of houses, you know what I'm saying? It's a real hood. So four had little cuts coming through, going to the stoles and stuff. My grandma on the bootleg. Me and my partner, God bless the dead. He just got killed four years ago. We used to hold rocks. And when they used to come through there, we used to hit them in the head with rocks and ruin. Bow, bow, just bad, boy them bad. Boy them bad, you know what I'm saying? So the reason why you were so bad was that because of the environment that you were in? Do you think so? Or it just was in you to be bad? It was just in me, you know what I'm saying? I ain't want for nothing. I was just bad, you know what I'm saying? So how long did it take you to recover after you were shot in the head? Yeah. How long did it take you? Just take us through the process of how, like once your mama seen it, how did they slow the bleeding down? Was it any, or? I ain't gonna lie, man, it happened on us. Did you go conscious? No, yeah, I was gone, I was out for like three days. Wow. And I woke up there too, see? They put you out because you went to your mama after you got shot and you were like, mama just got shot, so it's not like you set out right then and there. My grandma in my house right here, my cousin's house next door, is my grandma's brother son. Wow. So what did he say when he found out that it was you? Crying, you know what I'm saying? Crying, first thing, you know, it was a lot between my family because I ain't never get a whipping. That's why I was so bad, cause my grandma, like my mom, you just try to whoop my grandma like you hit my son, my grandbaby, you go and put out this house. Wow, she didn't put it out. She wasn't letting nobody whoop. Were you an only child? Nah, it was me and my little sister. Oh, okay, but you were the only boy. Yeah, I was the only boy. That's why. Wow, and so when you, how bad, I know you were unconscious before you got to the hospital? Now, I believe it or not, I remember being in the ambulance. Okay. But that's the last thing I remember. And I just remember my grandma was just over me just crying. That's the only thing I remember. Probably lost so much blood there. Yeah, man, they said everything on me from head to toe was just soap. Wow. Yeah. Boy, you, hey boy, that's amazing that you're still here. They say it was an inch closer, I'd have been dead. You stayed in the hospital for how long? Do you remember? Nine days. Nine days you was in the hospital. When you came back to consciousness, was you able to walk or? Yeah, believe it or not, bro. When I got back to coming, that was when my momma said it was an angelo me. When I got back to coming down there, I walked straight out the hospital. I was in basketball, I prayed it two days later. Ooh. Boy, you bad. With a bandage on my head. Wow. Did you get a whooping after you got out and you recovered? Mm-mm. Because I would have just tore that tail up a lot. Believe it or not, they spoiled me more. I used to get suspended from school and my momma and them used to take me shopping to the mall. Believe it or not, bro. How do you think they was so... Hold up, where was daddy in all of this? In prison. In prison. Wow. What did he say? He write a letter home? No, he got and did the same thing. He got out and started cutting up. Yeah. So that's where you got it from? Daddy with daddy, man. You know what I'm saying? By the time from 11 to 12, I lost my daddy and all three of my older brother to prison. One got 18 years, one got 22 years. The other one had got 14 years. They gave my dad 18, all federal. That's your daddy side? Because your momma only had you and your sister? Yeah, she got Motu in that, though, but back then, yeah. So he came home? Yeah. How long ago did he come home? He came home, believe it or not, the day before I graduated. How was it growing up without a father? It was rough, but it wasn't because my momma got married and the man, he was so much like a father to me. You know what I'm saying? God bless that. It seemed like I had a father because he did everything that my daddy didn't. And this in Alabama? Yeah. But how old was he when he came into your life? 12, a little too late. Yeah, I don't know what I'm saying. That's what I'm trying to figure out. I was trying to figure that out. That's my thing. So where was he? Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He didn't come to 12. Yeah, I was 12. But he saved me, though. Like I said, I graduated. And I knew he wanted that one. None of that would have happened.
