In this clip, Charleston White details starting his 12-year sentence at the Texas Youth Commission and being excited to start his journey as a man, which he had been led to believe by male family members who had been in prison. Charleston explained joining the Rollin 60’s Crips and being eager to please the people in the gang by going at everyone, including adults, which led to him being named “C-Nut.” Charleston then explained that he would’ve done everything for the gang because he was seeking authority figures to guide him in life and he felt let down by not having a father in his life leading up to that point, adding that he just wanted a hug.

“Youngins ice grillin’ me, oh you not feeling me/Fine, it cost you nothing/Pay me no mind”

“I’d rather die enormous than live dormant”

“They giveth and they taketh life is cruel that way/But even a broken clock is right at least two times a day”

“A wise man told me don’t argue with fools, cause people from a distance can’t tell who is who.”

“Swear to everything, when I leave this Earth, it’s gon’ be on both feet, never knees in the dirt”

“No one said it would be easy, n**** livin’ is work”

“I’m not afraid of dying, I’m afraid of not trying”
