Full Episode
I don't want to rob people that are poor. So I would go to Santa Monica, Venice Beach, Bel Air, Beverly Hills. I'm literally in Hollywood living like a little GTA life. I'm getting away from cops, and I'm breaking into houses, and I'm breaking into cars. And listen, just about any near-death experience is a catalyst for change. So growing up, you know, my mom and dad, who my mother is phenomenal.
So let me preface everything with saying she did everything she could to be the best mother she can be. But, you know, my mom and dad, so dope, dead dope, a lot of domestic violence. And so even though we had everything we ever wanted financially. My dad used to beat my mom real bad, so we used to have to sleep on the streets.
Many a night, me and my mom, my brother, were sleeping at my elementary school. We're running from my dad. And so all my life I would hear, I'm not your real dad anyway. Gary Mullins is. And so from a very young age, this need for validation, this need for attention, which kind of carried throughout my criminal life, was very prevalent and present. And so at 16, I get shot.
Me and this kid, we're going to fight. I'm waiting at my school bus. Now, mind you, prior to this, I was terrible in school. I was always suspended. I get shot. How does that happen? What do you mean you get shot? So me and this kid were going to fight, and he didn't want to fight. And so he's walking by the bus stop. Now, mind you, that morning my mom and dad were arguing.
And I had tried to put my sock on the right way, and it wouldn't go on. I don't know why. And so I'm banging it up against the wall. I hit my hand. I'm already frustrated. So I pull up to the bus stop with my mom and my brother and a friend, and I see this guy that I don't like walking down the way. And I'm like, I'm going to go say something to him. I'm not really mad at him.
I'm mad at everything going on in my life. So I get to the bus stop, and he's walking by, and he's staring me down, and I'm like, yo, what's up with it? What's going on? And he comes up, and we start arguing, and he's trying to get me to go around the corner, unbeknownst to me what's about to happen. And so we're arguing. We're about to fight. He pulls a gun out. I'm mad I'm not tough.
I'm not a thug. I wear my seatbelt. You can't be a seatbelt. You can't be a thug and wear a seatbelt. It don't work like that.
All right.
So when he pulls this gun out, I don't know what I was thinking. I don't even know if I thought, if I knew it was real, it was an old cowboy 22. I saw, I took my book back off and was like, I know you didn't just pull a gun out on me. And I was going to go still off on him. I was going to swing on him. And did you think maybe like, he's not going to, well, he won't do it.
