"Money was getting tough, and the only jobs I could secure was fast food and service industry jobs, but that was bullshit compared to the life I was accustomed to living. Between the hotel, car note, TiSean, putting money on Trevis's books, and TiSean's baby sitter, the money I touched disappeared as soon as I got it. I was down bad, and I had to make something shake, and by something shake--I meant this ass."

"Dear God, if you are there--listening, just hear me out this one time. I'm lost and I don't know where to go. I'm confused, but I know that I have to keep pressing for my son. If you get me out of this mess, I don't know what I'll do, but whatever you ask of me I will do it. Am I perfect? No. Consistent and hardworking? Absolutely. I don't know what I did wrong to get here, but God, please, just reroute my path."
