About Me
If you're the tiger, everybody is gonna try you. It's that street mentality. I had it, too. But I'm tryin' to change. I used to think that if I was killin' an ostrich or something, that was my natural instinct. But I been discussin' it with my counselor. It's not my natural instinct. It's all about my father. You know? ... I was just acting out his rage. I know that now. I understand it. I mean, one day, I just did a kill, I'm standin' over a bloody carcass, there's flies everywhere, the vultures are circling, I have blood and bone all over me, I'm roaring. And I just caught my reflection in the watering hole and I thought: Is this how people see me? ... Is this how I'm comin' across? I didn't want to look at myself so I'd rather just kill you. So, now, I don't hang around with other tigers. I'll stop by and say hello. But they always start in with, "Let's kill this one, let's kill that." ... It's the same conversation we were havin' twenty years ago! ... Now, I'm tryin' to change. I'm seein' somebody. She's got a kid by a Lion. You know? the kid don't wanna listen to me 'cause I'm not his real father, so we don't get along. I still got a lot o' guilt over my teenage daughter from my first mating. She's in an abusive situation but she don't want to leave. ... She's with one of these wannabes, tryin' to be a gangsta. He ain't hard. I knew his family. He grew up in a game preserve. You know?So you know how it is. I wanna break this chain of violence that gets passed down through the generations.
