God

"What's most important to you?"
"Well... God. Knowing how to overcome adversity, you know what I'm saying, when pressures comes at me, knowing how to deal with the pressure. Once I learned that, everything else fell into place."
"When did that happen for you?"
"About a year ago. I was incarcerated and I went through a lot of soul searching and I've changed. And in order to do that, I had to learn how to deal with situations, circumstances, things that I don't like."
"So what was the person like who introduced you to this kind of lifestyle?"
"Wow. Just a real individual. His name is Roger. There were a couple of them: Paul D., Charlie P., these guys was amazing in my life, all for years when they talked to me and finally I got it."
"If you'd never met them, what would be different?"
"Who knows? I don't know what woulda happened, man. I mighta still turned out better or good, but who knows where it mighta went. But it's defined me."
