How I got to Arkansas, if you're really interested in knowing, and not just running your mouth at me?
If you really are interested in knowing how I got here..
I was Born and Raised in Philadelphia, PA.
That place has just two classes.. Filthy rich class that can afford $10,000 a month rent and qualify for the place, by earning over $50,000 a month..
And beyond dirt poor.
And the Beyond dirt poor class make being poor in philly a bad deal.
And I can't take it and I don't have to.
At the time I ended up in Arkansas..
I didn't have control over my own resources and my own life..
Because of what Philly did to me.. not on the outside, but on the inside.
Within about 3 years After I came here, my dad came down with B Cell, Large Diffuse, Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
Ok...
He beat that cancer..
And within 6 months or maybe a year of remission..
He came down with Small Cell lung cancer.
Already beat to hell from chemo and radiation therapy..
He couldn't fight hard enough against the new lung cancer.
He died here...
Leaving me to need to build my own life out of literally NOTHING.
That's how I grew roots.
