What you know about living in an abandoned house with a younger brother, younger cousin, and having to steal food outta grocery stores, just to feed all of us, and I was only 10 or 11yrs-old myself. Til the police kicked in the door, and they ended up in foster care.
I ended up at a family members house. My uncle took me in, the same one that just passed a couple days ago. I stayed with him until I about 15, and I jumped off the porch full speed ahead, hustling. Still took my ass to school, and hit the block soon as the bell rang.
I had a pocket full of stones (UGK voice), making more $$ than I knew what to do with at that age. Had an adult get a house in they name for me, but I paid all the bills as youngn. Connected with some older family members that had the city on lock.
