‘Laying in bed, I’m confused my soul feels drained.. For the last 2 days, I was in the presence of my HERO a man who literally changed my life and my families life forever. Of ALL the people in the world he decided to believe in me?.. a young impressionable ghetto little black boy from Watts who had hopes and dreams praying every day that God would figure out a way to get me out of the hood and see some shit… Like many of my nighas, I grew up with I just didn’t wanna end up in jail, or dead.. I woke up after crying myself to sleep with a heavy heart, Yesterday I took a shower and while standing there..’ Tyrese began.
