Yeah, just for my mom to be able to keep the house through my senior year of high school. And so when I got to college... I just want to be no damn burden, man. I'm tired of asking you for stuff and hearing this deep sigh. And I know what you got to go through to try and make this pair of sneakers happen for me. So I'm just, I don't want to bother you. I just didn't want to be a burden to my mom.

Everything started from a place of, I just want some clothes for myself so I don't have to call my mom and ask for clothes. And then, hey, man, I bought a couple extra pairs of jeans. Would you like some jeans?

And then the police come and go, hey, this is illegal. So we're going to put you on probation for a little while. Go find a career during that time. And then when probation concludes, you can continue that career.
