1:07:01
My mother and my father
were both addicts...
1:07:03
so the only family I had was
the family in the streets...
1:07:05
that showed me
what I thought was love.
1:07:08
You know what I mean?
1:07:10
It's like, "We loyal to you
and we sisters"...
1:07:11
and we're hangin' out and,
you know, kind of like...
1:07:13
a commitment,
we were down for each other.
1:07:15
And sometimes, unfortunately...
1:07:17
kids that don't get it
at home...
1:07:19
have to go and get it
in the streets.
1:07:20
And when they get it
in the streets...
1:07:22
it's mistaken, because
in the end, nobody's ever there.
1:07:24
On the streets, I found,
like, street mothers...
1:07:28
and street brothers
and street sisters, you know...
1:07:31
that kind of looked out for me.
1:07:32
At least I thought
they looked out for me.
1:07:34
What happened?
1:07:36
Well, I ended up
in some situations where...
1:07:38
where people ran out on me...
1:07:41
when my life took a bad turn,
that they bailed out, you know.
1:07:45
I had a bout
with substance abuse...
1:07:46
for about 15 years, you know.
1:07:48
And nobody was there in the end.
Nobody was there in the end.
1:07:51
And that's
when I had to turn to God.
1:07:53
I just said,
"God, please help me.
1:07:54
"I don't wanna die this way."
1:07:55
When did this happen?
1:07:56
6 years ago.
1:07:58
And so Dragon was around...
1:07:59
Dragon was... Dragon took care
of his siblings...
1:08:03
when I went through my bout.
1:08:05
Dragon was father to these kids.
1:08:06
Dragon would cook, clean,
get them to school.
1:08:09
And he was the father.
1:08:10
Statistically,
my kids should be messed up.
1:08:12
My kids are great.
They're obedient.
1:08:14
They're well-disciplined.
They're respectful.
1:08:16
And I got great kids, you know?
1:08:20
Dragon here.
1:08:25
Hey, old bat.
1:08:27
Don't say that.
1:08:29
Oh, Dragon.
1:08:31
Why'd you say that stuff
on the phone to me?
1:08:33
Thank you, Dragon.
1:08:36
The first time
I saw Dragon get krump...
1:08:38
I thought he was on drugs...
1:08:40
or maybe somebody had
given him somethin'.
1:08:42
He was just, like,
runnin' around...
1:08:44
and screamin,
tearin' off his clothes.
1:08:45
And I didn't know
what happened to him.
1:08:47
Then he explained to me...
1:08:49
that it was
a new form of dancing...
1:08:50
that kind of took 'em
back to their roots.
1:08:51
I love it now.
1:08:53
I can krump, too.
1:08:55
I get krump for Christ,
but I get krump.
1:08:58
Is there a difference?
