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.

:09:00
I didn't know
I was saving kids' lives.

:09:03
But if you look at it,
yes, you are...

:09:05
'cause that kid
come dance with you...

:09:08
who wouldn't dance with you...
:09:08
and you were straight
to that kid.

:09:10
"Hey, I catch you in a gang,
you are in trouble.

:09:13
"If I catch you
even claiming anything...

:09:15
"I don't want you
to wear them colors."

:09:17
And they listen to me,
and they do it.

:09:19
So I guess you could say
that saved his life...

:09:21
because if they would've
wore that color...

:09:22
they would've went over
to that neighborhood...

:09:24
they would've got shot,
they would've been dead.

:09:26
It's the bottom line.
:09:28
Everybody say break it down
:09:30
Break it down
:09:31
Say, "Break it down"
:09:32
Break it down
:09:33
Say, "Break it down"
:09:34
Break it down
:09:35
Bam. OK, it's about to get down,
y'all. Check this out.

:09:43
As I started gettin' older...
:09:45
I started lookin'
at the way these kids dance...

:09:47
and I started grabbin' 'em.
:09:48
I had another girl,
another guy...

:09:51
and then it just started
spreading like that.
