[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.
