Full Transcript
At 16, my dad put a gun to my head because I paid him rent in the morning and he wanted more money that night probably for more drugs or alcohol. >> You paid your dad rent to live in the house >> since I was 12. >> What did he charge you? >> 100 bucks at 12 a month. And by the time I got to 16 years old, it was 400 bucks a month. >> How did you make money? >> Well, when I was 12 and he told me, you know, you got to pay rent and I'm not going to buy you anything. I was bleaching my pants and dying them so people wouldn't pick on me thinking I would have more than just the two pair of pants. And the crotch was ripped open because I was growing so fast. They didn't really fit anymore. So, I wear a long t-shirt to cover my ripped open crotch.
