So let me talk to you for a minute while I've got this mic
I was 18 when I pulled a gun out

I was made to believe that if I was not following the group due to what ever reason I would never end up alone. If you are like me, you did face loneliness. Is it wrong? At that time, I beat myself, I hated to not think the same way that others did. Because I was not talking like others, not processing the same way, not wanting the same things…  I was different, and...
