1 I came here because I heard they was selling drugs here. And I came here with nothing else in mind but to get money.
2 I never wanted to be a bad father. My father was never there for me. I vowed to never let that happen.
3 Half the time, I can’t walk down the street without someone thinking I’m selling myself.
4 I just want to go and get this test because I can’t sleep at night. He didn't tell me he was sick. Why did he do this to me?
5 People die on this block. We just get used to it. We adapt.
6 I met my mother, finally, when I was 16. She was a crackhead.
7 In the morning we have coffee and donuts. All the older racing guys come and sit here, and we just talk about pigeons.
8 I was born here. Went to school here. We had a really good neighborhood. And it’s different now.
9 They told me he had two hematomas, which is why he has the memory loss.
10 The good die young, I guess.
11 I smile even when it hurts. I’m always smiling.
12 I went in and out of jail for 10 years. Had a hard life. But I said, I’m going to change my life.
