:07:11
People always
used to say I act crazy.
:07:13
I always did silly things.
:07:15
And this girl,
just out of the blue...
:07:17
asked can I be a clown
at her birthday party.
:07:19
And I was, like, "A clown?"
:07:29
I pull up to
the neighborhood, jump out.
:07:31
I start dancing,
walking on my hands, flippin'.
:07:33
Kids would run out the houses.
:07:35
People would run out the houses.
:07:36
And I'll give 'em a card.
:07:37
"If you need a clown
for your birthday party...
:07:39
"call Tommy the Clown,
the hip-hop dancing clown."
:07:41
And it start spreadin'.
:07:43
Happy birthday, Malik!
:07:45
Y'all ready
to party with Malik...
:07:46
- somebody say, "That's right."
- That's right!
:07:48
Y'all ready to have
some fun with Malik...
:07:50
- say, "You know this, man."
- You know this, man!
:07:53
Everybody go and give Malik
some birthday hits.
:07:55
I'm just playin'.
I'm just playin'.
:07:59
I'm just playin'. Y'all stop.
Y'all better back up.
:08:02
You have to remember.
I created this on my own.
:08:04
I started from the ground up.
:08:07
No one offered me no money.
No one gave me a dime.
:08:10
But I'm perceived to be
the richest man on Earth...
:08:13
and ain't got a dime.
:08:15
You ready for that?
:08:18
Let me see you break it down.
:08:20
You ain't gonna break it down?
:08:22
Back in the days,
I had my share...
:08:24
of being, I guess you
can say, a drug dealer...
:08:28
coming out here and
gettin' involved with drugs.
:08:32
I came out here
to become big time...
:08:34
because I saved my money...
:08:35
and was like one
of the big drug dealers...
:08:37
where I got
my nice cars and stuff.
:08:39
And I always liked
to show off...
:08:41
to say, "Man, look what
I have gotten," you know?
:08:43
That was back then.
:08:45
I always say God
gave me the opportunity...
:08:47
'cause either you end up
shot, dead, and killed...
:08:49
or you go to jail.
:08:51
And thank God
that I went to jail.
:08:52
And when I went to jail...
:08:54
I said, "This is not
the place for me"...
:08:56
and I changed my life.
:08:58
I prayed. I asked God
to give me another chance.
