As gang members, as young dudes in the streets, especially in L.A., we're the effect of a situation. We didn't wake up and create our own mindstate and our environment; we adapted our survival instincts.
My mom is American, so I was raised in her household in my formative years.
Luck is just bein' prepared at all times, so when the door opens you're ready.
On a mission your worst enemy is idle time.
Gangbanging is a survival instinct, regardless of how anybody tries to paint it.
If you 35, 28, or 30 years old, and you decide you're gonna pick up a rag and start bangin', and you can look yourself in the mirror and you still feel like you're a man? That's cool, do your thing.
