1:06:00
And I'm only 20 years old.
1:06:02
Swoop, horrible where he lives.
1:06:05
Horrible, you know?
1:06:06
And it's good that,
you know, he stopped...

1:06:09
'cause he was... he was...
he was in that direction...

1:06:13
but he twisted it,
he changed it, came to clownin'.

1:06:16
Been here ever since,
which was good...

1:06:18
'cause he was there.
He was almost there.

1:06:22
Life is not a game.
1:06:23
That's right. I hear you.
1:06:25
I'm serious.
1:06:26
Take advantage of it
while you can.

1:06:29
Yeah, you better clown right.
1:06:30
I know y'all's
some good clowns...

1:06:32
but y'all better clown right.
1:06:34
'Cause if you don't...
1:06:35
I know where
you're gonna end up.

1:06:36
Right here...
1:06:38
with me.
1:06:41
Go on in. Take a look.
1:06:43
Not now.
1:06:44
No, come on in here.
Come on.

1:06:45
You wanna go in?
1:06:46
Yeah. Find a casket
that's big enough for you.

1:06:49
We can have one special made.
1:06:51
Don't worry.
1:06:58
I used to be... Back in the day,
I was a gangbanger.

1:07:01
My mother and my father
were both addicts...

1:07:03
so the only family I had was
the family in the streets...

1:07:05
that showed me
what I thought was love.

1:07:08
You know what I mean?
1:07:10
It's like, "We loyal to you
and we sisters"...

1:07:11
and we're hangin' out and,
you know, kind of like...

1:07:13
a commitment,
we were down for each other.

1:07:15
And sometimes, unfortunately...
1:07:17
kids that don't get it
at home...

1:07:19
have to go and get it
in the streets.

1:07:20
And when they get it
in the streets...

1:07:22
it's mistaken, because
in the end, nobody's ever there.

1:07:24
On the streets, I found,
like, street mothers...

1:07:28
and street brothers
and street sisters, you know...

1:07:31
that kind of looked out for me.
1:07:32
At least I thought
they looked out for me.

1:07:34
What happened?
1:07:36
Well, I ended up
in some situations where...

1:07:38
where people ran out on me...
1:07:41
when my life took a bad turn,
that they bailed out, you know.

1:07:45
I had a bout
with substance abuse...

1:07:46
for about 15 years, you know.
1:07:48
And nobody was there in the end.
Nobody was there in the end.

1:07:51
And that's
when I had to turn to God.

1:07:53
I just said,
"God, please help me.

1:07:54
"I don't wanna die this way."
1:07:55
When did this happen?
1:07:56
6 years ago.
1:07:58
And so Dragon was around...
1:07:59
Dragon was... Dragon took care
of his siblings...
