About this ebook
What started out as a youthful life of innocence in South Central Los Angeles turned into a fight of the fittest, fueled by a life of addictions and wrong decisions. I called all the shots. I was in control of everything. I was the one who caused people to break themselves apart until in the end, I broke apart from the inside out. My second wife and daughters, I always considered my saints; they were the ones who, for years, held me together!
