The short clip, which lives on Garren’s Instagram page, opens with him and his father sitting across from one another in a non-descript room. Garren questions his dad about why his gang-banging lifestyle was more important than being with his family.
“You chose the streets as a priority, in our eyes,” Garren said. “On the times that we did find out that you were out [of prison] we were knowing after your homies. You were were on the block hanging out.”
As his father sat stoically, and at times gently rocked back and forth in the chair, Garren reminded dad of the time he selfishly missed his birthday.
“Even on my birthday I remember seeing you. You know, it was my birthday I’m looking for you and you should be looking for me, or at least calling for me.” Garren said. “Like what made you choose that life over being there for us?”

“I was going to commit to a Blood neighborhood. I was going to do it because I looked up to you and I knew I would get some stripes like ‘Yo, I’m a gang banger too!’ “
