On the day I was born,
my mama grunted.
1:13:04
I popped out. Took one look around.
1:13:08
"Shit," I says,
"it's Two Creeks, Texas. "
1:13:14
So about eight years ago
I'm still in Two Creeks.
1:13:18
My wife's about to have
our first child.
1:13:21
I took her to the hospital,
a natural thing to do.
1:13:25
She was refused admittance to this
hospital on the basis of her race.
1:13:31
Which is, as you might guess, Negro.
1:13:36
Next thing I know,
the baby ain't about to wait.
1:13:40
So my son is born
on the goddamn floor...
1:13:43
...of this hospital's reception room.
1:13:48
Eriksson, I flipped the fuck out.
1:13:53
I started turning over chairs...
1:13:56
...kicking lamps.
1:13:58
It wasn't long before I was in jail.
1:14:03
Now wasn't I on the side
of righteousness?
1:14:13
So, what was I doing in jail?
1:14:17
What I was doing, let me advise you...
1:14:22
...was fixing to shoot some
motherfuckers in that hospital.
1:14:27
That's what I was doing.
1:14:30
But you know what?
1:14:33
It was like they read my mind...
1:14:35
...and they kept me in that jail
until my mind was turned around.
1:14:41
When I got out, I only wanted to see...
1:14:44
...my baby and my wife.
1:14:54
And I started thinking to myself...
1:14:58
...what happened is the way things are.
