:35:00
I've been shot
by a family member.

:35:02
My grandfather
shot me in my arm.

:35:06
Right here.
:35:09
Went in through this way
and came out through here.

:35:12
I was trying to protect
my mom 'cause he was drunk.

:35:16
And I was looking at my body,
looking at my baby's body...

:35:20
and I seen blood.
:35:21
We didn't know where
the blood was coming from.

:35:23
Chance was standing
on the right side of me.

:35:26
I don't know how...
how the bullet hit me...

:35:29
and the gun was pointed directly
to my little brother's back.

:35:32
She was holding
my little brother.

:35:33
It must have been God,
'cause turned the bullet...

:35:36
from when it hit the middle,
it must have turned the bullet.

:35:38
It ricocheted off
of something...

:35:40
and went straight
through my arm.

:35:42
If the bullet
hadn't have turned...

:35:44
the bullet would have hit
my little baby.

:35:48
It would have tore him up.
:35:50
But it turned, and it got him
right in this arm...

:35:53
and it went in, and it went out.
:35:55
I had to go to a crackhouse...
:35:57
to get my mama
out of the crackhouse.

:36:00
That's not a good sight
to see as a kid.

:36:02
I don't remember how old I was.
:36:04
I just remember that vision.
:36:06
It hurts, yeah, but that's
what I got krumpness for.

:36:10
That's why I get krump.
:36:12
Some people don't feel safe
outside of this place.

:36:18
I mean, I've seen a lot
of people come from Hollywood...

:36:21
and come and visit
my home and be like...

:36:22
"How do you live here?
You live in South Central.

:36:25
"Oh, it's so...
it's so dangerous."

:36:28
Like... it's not dangerous.
It's life.

:36:31
A lot of the kids out here...
:36:33
they don't have
that push or that drive...

:36:36
to go and be in Hollywood...
:36:37
because so many people
have knocked them down already.

:36:40
So their comfort is the 'hood.
:36:42
It's scary to go to Hollywood...
:36:44
if you're coming
from the 'hood...

:36:46
for the simple fact that
everything is so intimidating.

:36:51
When I first got
my first glance at Hollywood...

:36:53
everybody seemed
like this to me...

:36:55
and I felt like this...
:36:59
Everybody's so uppity.
