204 | | 294.9737 | It wasn't a lot of hard drugs then, | 296.6939 |
206 | | 296.9062 | but as time progressive, | 298.9583 |

802 | | 1069.3279 | Although they didn't have- | 1070.6923 |

854 | | 1130.7862 | I watched people get stabbed. | 1132.0321 |
856 | | 1132.2557 | <clears throat> I watched people overdose. It's just worse than the streets, being over your friend house, this that and the other, because in- in s- s- | 1138.4539 |
858 | | 1138.9069 | in- | 1139.1547 |

870 | | 1154.9065 | what helped me out is- is like I seen where it is t- going nowhere. | 1159.0448 |
872 | | 1159.4907 | <clears throat> | 1159.8234 |

876 | | 1161.6286 | this life | 1162.3687 |
878 | | 1165.4129 | in jail is- I'm like this. I- I don't- I don't see how they do it because even still when I was locked up, | 1170.8607 |
880 | | 1171.9084 | in- in Lorton, Virginia | 1173.2392 |
881 | DCB_int_01 | 1173.5194 | Mm-hm. | 1173.9088 |
882 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 1174.1636 | at that time. | 1174.8432 |
884 | | 1176.4501 | I don't see how a person | 1177.9367 |
886 | | 1178.1632 | can sit up there | 1179.0690 |
888 | | 1179.3029 | and get locked up and see what's going on in life | 1181.7352 |
890 | | 1182.4077 | in the prison, | 1183.1439 |
892 | | 1184.5172 | walk out, | 1185.1401 |
894 | | 1186.3902 | and two days later they right back. | 1187.6795 |
896 | | 1192.5813 | I- I look at- | 1193.6644 |
898 | | 1196.6092 | I- I'm not a- | 1197.3950 |
900 | | 1197.9542 | I- | 1198.1666 |
902 | | 1198.3052 | I'm not gonna s- | 1198.8574 |
904 | | 1199.2255 | I can't say | 1200.0042 |
906 | | 1200.2165 | whether it's drugs. | 1201.2288 |
908 | | 1201.3633 | I- I can't say because I don't know what's i- | 1203.6852 |
910 | | 1203.9442 | installed in some people mind cause you don't. | 1206.0112 |
911 | DCB_int_01 | 1206.6625 | Mm. | 1206.9810 |
912 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 1209.5578 | But something gotta be installed in your mind because | 1211.9404 |
914 | | 1214.0712 | with them it's not your parents. It's something that's | 1216.1170 |
916 | | 1216.3052 | out here | 1216.8644 |
918 | | 1217.3670 | that makes you | 1218.0042 |
920 | | 1218.8030 | to keep going back and doing what you doing. | 1220.3251 |
921 | DCB_int_01 | 1220.2644 | Mm. | 1220.4190 |
922 | | 1220.5243 | Yeah. | 1220.7720 |
923 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 1221.3808 | It- it got to be | 1222.2698 |
925 | | 1222.4468 | because if | 1223.3741 |
927 | | 1223.5441 | you being battered, | 1224.7404 |
929 | | 1225.0663 | you being hurt, | 1225.8234 |
931 | | 1227.4304 | or something is taken away from you, | 1228.9777 |
933 | | 1229.4024 | you tryna find a way to get away from that. | 1231.5686 |
934 | DCB_int_01 | 1231.9509 | Right. | 1232.2872 |
935 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 1234.9524 | And- and- | 1235.6706 |
937 | | 1236.1103 | and my thing is that | 1237.2428 |
939 | | 1237.4199 | you- you're not going because you- | 1238.8936 |
941 | | 1239.1755 | you see it but you don't wanna see it. | 1240.9706 |
943 | | 1241.2821 | Or either you see it and- and that ain't your way because maybe you don't have the education. | 1244.9844 |
944 | DCB_int_01 | 1245.9088 | Mm. | 1246.1778 |
945 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 1246.1070 | Maybe you don't have | 1247.1830 |
946 | | 1247.8343 | someone there to talk to you, to sit there and say hey, change this. | 1250.7083 |
948 | | 1252.6920 | Why is not something that you see whereas that- | 1255.0094 |
950 | | 1255.2217 | let me try to find a way to aks a question, | 1257.3029 |
952 | | 1257.4911 | this that and that, so I don't understand you. | 1259.1901 |
954 | | 1259.8626 | I don't understand you. So my life is- on- once after | 1262.5667 |
956 | | 1262.7933 | prison | 1263.3808 |
958 | | 1263.8480 | I set up there and I say, man, I want something out of life. | 1266.3015 |
960 | | 1267.0094 | The good thing about it | 1268.0995 |
962 | | 1268.6375 | when I got locked up, | 1269.6144 |
964 | | 1269.9513 | I stayed to myself. | 1271.0131 |
966 | | 1271.1972 | And I /even/ the seen the people | 1272.5286 |

972 | | 1282.5459 | my thing was to stay away from 'em cause I didn't know nothing about no prison. | 1285.6234 |
974 | | 1287.9442 | I watched- I watched a couple of my friends get stabbed and killed in there, | 1290.8112 |
976 | | 1291.5686 | while I was there | 1292.2405 |
978 | | 1293.2392 | because they got, | 1294.0887 |

1318 | | 1755.8126 | Your kids not saying nothing because they won't sit down. | 1758.2732 |
1320 | | 1759.2996 | They won't sit down and discuss where- | 1761.0381 |
1322 | | 1761.6398 | Hey mom, I got a girlfriend and | 1763.4874 |

1354 | | 1799.3812 | children, they- and even us being parents, we don't- we don't say what's on our mind. | 1802.7965 |

1376 | | 1822.0754 | Instead of saying, hey honey, I don't wanna be bothering with you no more. I'm- I'm just gonna leave. | 1825.7102 |
1378 | | 1826.4110 | You ain't doing that. You- you- you playing a game. You still hustling. | 1829.5428 |

1399 | | 1856.3827 | Well the first one I wanted to ask you is | 1858.5884 |
1401 | | 1859.2396 | did you go outside of your neighborhood? Like were you- did you travel [a lot?] | 1862.3859 |
1402 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 1862.0287 | [Oh that-] that was beautiful. That- that- that- Well, the- the thing is | 1865.5511 |
1403 | | 1865.8767 | when- when I was coming up in- in the- in the sixties, the seventies and everything | 1870.0433 |
1405 | | 1870.5247 | y- you- | 1871.1051 |
1407 | | 1871.7352 | you couldn't. | 1872.2094 |
1408 | DCB_int_01 | 1873.4553 | You couldn't. | 1873.9792 |
1410 | | 1874.1349 | So you- | 1874.5101 |
1412 | | 1874.9065 | Why not? | 1875.3313 |
1413 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 1876.8644 | <clears throat> | 1877.4449 |
1415 | | 1877.6219 | There's Woodland Terrace. | 1879.6385 |
1417 | | 1879.9070 | There /Hawthorne/. | 1881.0641 |
1419 | | 1881.7941 | There's, uh, | 1882.9435 |
1421 | | 1885.2015 | Benning Road, there's, uh, | 1887.2349 |
1423 | | 1887.3486 | Barry Farms, this that and the other. You're not allowed- I mean, you went to school with these kids | 1892.4351 |
1424 | DCB_int_01 | 1892.6991 | Right. | 1892.9942 |
1425 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 1892.9476 | but they live here. | 1893.8019 |
1426 | | 1893.9649 | They live there. | 1894.4620 |
1428 | | 1895.0988 | It's like- it- | 1895.7045 |
1430 | | 1896.2559 | You can't go on that turf. | 1897.3789 |
1432 | | 1898.4584 | Do you see what I'm saying? | 1899.3048 |
1434 | | 1899.4679 | It's like- it's like- well, th- th- this our worst thing. And- and- and- mm- exc- excuse the expression- | 1904.7302 |
1436 | | 1905.0020 | It's the same thing what you see on TV because really it is | 1908.4811 |
1438 | | 1908.6411 | because | 1909.2546 |
1440 | | 1909.8604 | if you look at it, | 1910.7379 |
1442 | | 1910.9864 | it's- | 1911.2971 |
1444 | | 1911.4265 | this where we live at. | 1912.5707 |
1446 | | 1913.0984 | You not allowed over- You not even allowed to talk to the girl over here. | 1916.2606 |
1447 | DCB_int_01 | 1917.0719 | So if you was in Woodland Terrace, you didn't talk to Barry Farms, Benning Road- You didn't talk to- | 1920.9828 |
1448 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 1921.2003 | The only way we- | 1922.3030 |
1450 | | 1922.5981 | only way we have | 1923.9649 |
1452 | | 1924.5710 | that thing was | 1925.9375 |
1454 | | 1926.4314 | through the recreation departments. | 1927.8083 |
1456 | | 1929.0371 | Because we went to play sports. | 1930.5629 |
1457 | DCB_int_01 | 1930.9668 | Mm-hm. And that's where everybody could come together. | 1932.8694 |
1458 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 1932.9285 | Everybody come together. | 1933.8526 |
1460 | | 1934.2564 | See cause I'm like this. Now we gonna- we gonna play these guys in baseball. | 1937.2230 |
1462 | | 1939.3711 | And- and- and- and still that was a problem then. | 1941.9028 |
1464 | | 1943.1143 | If you win, | 1943.8365 |
1466 | | 1944.6295 | there's a problem. | 1945.5396 |
1468 | | 1947.3747 | If you lose, there's a problem. | 1948.9978 |
1470 | | 1949.7666 | Because really, we didn't wanna /really/ want y'all there. | 1951.6818 |
1472 | | 1952.2331 | So we ha- there had to be a time whereas that | 1954.2212 |
1474 | | 1954.6095 | they have to- | 1955.4249 |
1476 | | 1957.1692 | it- | 1957.2779 |
1478 | | 1957.6196 | the- the- the- | 1958.3419 |
1480 | | 1958.6370 | the- the, uh- | 1959.6077 |
1482 | | 1960.1323 | the recreation department had to stand | 1961.8077 |
1484 | | 1962.1979 | so you can get on the bus. | 1963.1798 |
1486 | | 1964.6412 | So we can get- so we can get back on the bus to leave t- [leave] from the game. | 1967.9039 |
1487 | DCB_int_01 | 1966.9520 | [/And then if-/] | 1967.2989 |
1489 | | 1967.9006 | If people like, from the- would they just start fighting? Would [they start stabbing? Shooting? What would happen?] | 1972.0672 |
1490 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 1970.3864 | [Yeah, /unintelligible/.] Everything. | 1972.8317 |
1491 | | 1972.9733 | Everything. | 1973.5679 |
1492 | DCB_int_01 | 1974.3507 | [Wow.] | 1974.7542 |
1493 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 1974.3649 | It- it- it- it- it- it- it- it- it got bad. It- it g- got bad whereas that they'd just say well, look, we- we- we can't do this no more. | 1980.8604 |
1494 | | 1981.4196 | So they had to find- they had to find a designated | 1983.7486 |
1496 | | 1984.3716 | place for us, | 1985.2706 |
1498 | | 1985.5325 | just for the kids that really wanted to do something /or/ like play sports, this that and the other. | 1989.3734 |
1500 | | 1989.5929 | They had to find | 1990.0955 |
1502 | | 1990.3645 | a- we- w- | 1990.9945 |
1504 | | 1991.6458 | Although we gonna play Barry Farm, we can't play Barry Farm here. | 1994.0214 |
1506 | | 1994.1913 | And we can't Barry Farm in Woodland where I grew up at. | 1996.5627 |
1508 | | 1996.8883 | Okay, well we- we- we'll take it down Anacostia Park. | 1999.1484 |
1509 | DCB_int_01 | 2000.7293 | Mm. | 2000.9770 |
1510 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 2000.9983 | We'll take it down to the park. We'll play the- we'll play the game down there. But we can't not go in this | 2005.1436 |
1512 | | 2006.3611 | place | 2006.8142 |

1516 | | 2007.8619 | We can't. | 2008.1804 |
1517 | DCB_int_01 | 2008.2937 | So y'all couldn't play in the neighborhoods. Y'all had to go somewhere [neutral.] | 2010.4852 |
1518 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 2010.1454 | [We had to-] we had to [go somewhere neutral.] | 2011.6179 |
1519 | DCB_int_01 | 2010.8463 | [Cause it's turf.] | 2011.7807 |
1520 | | 2012.0921 | And you know there's still turf [wars.] | 2013.3664 |
1521 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 2013.3097 | And- and- and- and it's [still- and- and- and- it's still- it's-] Ain't nothing gonna change. It's- it's not gonna change because it's- it's- | 2018.9699 |
1522 | DCB_int_01 | 2014.0105 | [It's still turf wars.] | 2015.5679 |
1523 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 2019.6424 | it's- it's not- | 2020.3362 |

1527 | | 2021.2500 | where you at. It's not Georgia. | 2022.9595 |
1529 | | 2023.1082 | It's not Washington DC. | 2024.3045 |
1531 | | 2024.6514 | It's the people | 2025.7982 |
1533 | | 2026.4848 | how they perceive theyself, talking about this is mines. | 2029.0710 |
1534 | DCB_int_01 | 2029.9718 | Mm. | 2030.1842 |
1535 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 2030.1629 | Ain't nothing yours. | 2031.3522 |
1536 | | 2031.6354 | It's for all of us | 2032.5415 |
1538 | | 2032.9584 | but you wanna sit there and say, this is mine. | 2034.8129 |
1539 | DCB_int_01 | 2035.5168 | So it started- this is a long [time. This ain't something new.] | 2038.6901 |
1540 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 2036.9487 | [Long time ago. /?/ I'm like this, what | 2038.9096 |
1541 | | 2039.0511 | it's si- sixty three, where I remember | 2041.1648 |
1543 | | 2041.3701 | <clears throat> | 2041.6533 |
1545 | | 2042.8624 | Martin Luther King got killed. | 2044.1488 |
1547 | | 2046.5873 | And | 2046.9500 |
1549 | | 2047.8788 | we wasn't even allowed to go up to the store. | 2049.3593 |
1551 | | 2050.2371 | You'd better have something in your /?/ name and then meantime th- | 2052.7755 |
1553 | | 2052.9844 | Once they got everything from the riot and everything at this time, | 2055.6849 |
1555 | | 2056.9520 | National Guard sitting around the stores, this that and the other, cause the windows and everything, this that and the other. | 2061.2460 |
1557 | | 2061.8097 | You know what I mean? You- you- | 2062.9804 |
1559 | | 2063.1921 | you had to wait. | 2063.9006 |
1561 | | 2064.9524 | Go /home/- | 2065.3559 |
1563 | | 2065.6290 | If you had to buy clothes or h- had to go get groceries, this that and the other, | 2068.4848 |
1565 | | 2069.0653 | you had- | 2069.3131 |
1567 | | 2069.6245 | you know, we walked, | 2070.5135 |
1569 | | 2070.7471 | this that and the other, but | 2071.5400 |
1571 | | 2072.3247 | that was then. And it's the same thing. Ain't none- ain't none of this is gonna change | 2076.2687 |
1573 | | 2076.7542 | because | 2077.3135 |
1575 | | 2077.7099 | the system- | 2078.6301 |
1577 | | 2080.3574 | I think- | 2080.8246 |
1579 | | 2081.8015 | I- I'm'a say- I'm'a put- I would put it more on the system because | 2084.8000 |
1581 | | 2088.0917 | if you- | 2088.6126 |
1583 | | 2088.8533 | I say the system because it's just like when we came back where we sitting there talking about the funding, the money that you giving to somebody, | 2094.5135 |
1585 | | 2094.6834 | this that and the other, and even right now, you- | 2096.4178 |
1587 | | 2097.1884 | A high school graduate | 2098.6972 |
1589 | | 2099.2140 | comes out don't make no money. | 2100.2900 |
1591 | | 2100.9898 | They go to college, | 2101.9718 |
1593 | | 2103.1681 | four to eight years in college and come out | 2105.2210 |
1595 | | 2105.3697 | and can't get a j- can't get a j- a decent job. | 2107.9435 |
1597 | | 2109.2177 | Or not only that, | 2110.1309 |
1599 | | 2110.2312 | they'll hire 'em, | 2111.2635 |
1601 | | 2111.7095 | but yet still I'm'a pay you this | 2113.2285 |
1602 | DCB_int_01 | 2114.0072 | Mm. | 2114.3328 |

2260 | | 2974.1280 | It- | 2974.3765 |
2262 | | 2975.9608 | The way all this works out not /keep saying- saying/ everybody is wrong, this that and the other, and then- and then a lot | 2982.2175 |
2264 | | 2982.6256 | <clears throat> | 2982.9984 |
2266 | | 2983.5342 | that we do, and then growing up in Southeast I'm like this, I learned | 2986.8503 |
2268 | | 2987.7713 | to me | 2988.3305 |
2270 | | 2988.5246 | was right and wrong, and I learned to get a handle on myself. | 2990.9398 |
2271 | DCB_int_01 | 2991.6543 | Mm. | 2991.9261 |
2273 | | 2992.3532 | And that's carried you. | 2993.2852 |
2274 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 2994.1006 | And it- and it- and it gon- gonna carry me. | 2995.8293 |
2276 | | 2996.1322 | My- my- my growing- my- my parents- | 2998.7648 |
2278 | | 3001.6324 | when I seen what my | 3002.6525 |
2280 | | 3002.8001 | parents went through because I'm like this, dad we had- | 3005.7433 |
2282 | | 3006.0928 | I got- /on my-/ | 3007.1537 |
2284 | | 3007.3478 | all us, my seven brothers, we all right behind each other. | 3010.4309 |
2285 | DCB_int_01 | 3011.4560 | Mm-hm. | 3011.8493 |
2286 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 3011.7977 | One was born one year, I was born next year, another one born the next year, this that and the other. I said [/??/-] | 3015.6776 |
2287 | DCB_int_01 | 3015.4524 | [Oh], just step step step [step step step.] | 3017.2075 |
2288 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 3016.5940 | [Step step step], every year. | 3017.9608 |
2289 | | 3018.5712 | You know what I mean, and my- my sisters- | 3020.4195 |
2291 | | 3021.2014 | Well, my older sister was right behind | 3022.9124 |
2293 | | 3023.1764 | the rest of- but the- | 3023.8132 |
2295 | | 3024.0773 | the two youngest ones, | 3025.1422 |
2297 | | 3026.9165 | we were so close and so close knit | 3028.9083 |
2299 | | 3029.2230 | because I'm like this the thing is with my parents done, they had us in- where they couldn't afford us. | 3033.1107 |
2301 | | 3033.7242 | Like I tell you about poverty, this that and the other, ain't got the money, this that and the other, and no means to set up there, it ain't got no room | 3038.9942 |
2303 | | 3039.3592 | really | 3039.7941 |
2305 | | 3040.0970 | cause we was | 3040.7493 |
2307 | | 3041.3551 | being placed | 3042.3103 |
2309 | | 3042.8353 | with my aunts, | 3043.6196 |
2311 | | 3044.0157 | this that and the other. Everybody's tryna help until they got to the point where they wasn't no more help, so we got into foster home. | 3048.5588 |
2313 | | 3049.3770 | But what I learned from my parents, then | 3051.1262 |
2315 | | 3051.5456 | is to keep it together. | 3052.5629 |
2317 | | 3052.9046 | Let- let's- let's keep this together. I'm like this regardless, this that and the other. | 3056.7923 |
2319 | | 3057.1651 | And although my dad was, um, | 3058.9590 |
2321 | | 3059.6424 | a gas station attendant, my mom, | 3061.0760 |
2323 | | 3061.3323 | you know, finally got a job working in uh, a Government Treasury Department, | 3064.1591 |
2325 | | 3064.6872 | they still was there for us | 3066.1938 |
2327 | | 3068.1865 | and | 3068.6387 |
2329 | | 3068.8078 | our thing was to listen. | 3070.2290 |
2331 | | 3071.1997 | It ain't like they didn't want us. | 3072.4423 |
2332 | DCB_int_01 | 3072.7265 | Mm-hm. | 3073.1614 |
2333 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 3074.7690 | And it- and it- and it comes out that if we- if we paid attention | 3077.8754 |
2335 | | 3078.1208 | I think that we all woulda beens | 3079.5264 |
2337 | | 3079.7827 | more successful than what we are. | 3081.4058 |
2339 | | 3083.4172 | Cause I done killed- I done killed five of my years being in Lorton. | 3086.5904 |
2340 | DCB_int_01 | 3087.6931 | Mm. | 3088.0659 |
2341 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 3088.1047 | And- and- and- and I looked at- and I look at what I make today, | 3090.8586 |
2343 | | 3091.0515 | how much I make a hour now, | 3092.4040 |
2345 | | 3092.8777 | you know /the/- well you know how much money I had? | 3094.9637 |
2346 | DCB_int_01 | 3097.0838 | Mm. | 3097.4255 |
2347 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 3097.8448 | And- and- and- and- and- and it come from | 3099.5223 |
2349 | | 3099.9727 | my thinking, not their's. | 3101.5492 |
2350 | DCB_int_01 | 3101.6735 | Right. | 3102.0074 |
2351 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 3102.2994 | I didn't pay attention to them. | 3103.5187 |
2353 | | 3105.0408 | And that's what's wrong with today, | 3106.2368 |
2355 | | 3106.7571 | don't nobody pay attention. | 3107.6968 |
2357 | | 3108.4936 | Don't nobody pay attention, don't nobody wanna hear what you gotta say. | 3111.1651 |
2359 | | 3112.4542 | [Everybody] wanna make it, | 3113.5570 |
2360 | DCB_int_01 | 3112.6068 | [Hm.] | 3112.7426 |

2362 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 3114.3305 | [but it ain't]- ain't nobody paying attention what nobody saying. | 3116.5360 |
2363 | | 3117.5378 | And that's our problem. Cause we won't take five minutes to sit. | 3119.9608 |
2364 | DCB_int_01 | 3120.4625 | [Mm, right.] | 3120.8275 |
2365 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 3120.7110 | [It's like] you go to school. | 3121.6585 |
2366 | | 3121.9506 | The teachers sit up there tryna tell you | 3123.5362 |

2658 | | 3489.3828 | Well, | 3489.7401 |
2660 | | 3490.2138 | which we was close, Woodland and /Hartford/ Street was close. We knew each other, this that and the other, but | 3494.7227 |
2662 | | 3495.0178 | all that was just still in that- that little center. | 3497.2855 |
2664 | | 3497.5806 | But like I say | 3498.2380 |
2666 | | 3498.4115 | Barry Farms and- | 3499.5423 |
2668 | | 3500.2956 | and- and Stanton Road was much different, see? You- you couldn't do that. | 3503.9456 |
2670 | | 3504.1087 | [You couldn't go.] | 3504.8387 |

2677 | | 3509.2078 | went on, it- it kind of | 3510.9163 |
2679 | | 3511.6355 | panned out a little bit. | 3512.8237 |
2681 | | 3513.6546 | It kind of panned out because what you did you- | 3515.5029 |
2683 | | 3515.8524 | you find up- when I- when playing sports, this that and the other, you got to know 'em, people got to know you because you went into this /??/. | 3521.2264 |
2685 | | 3521.8524 | You can go down there and party with 'em, this that and the other, but it still was that- that chaos whereas that you don't belongs down here. | 3527.1660 |
2686 | DCB_int_01 | 3527.3864 | Mm. | 3527.6427 |

2693 | | 3541.0147 | W- where you get that from? | 3542.0471 |

2705 | | 3556.2526 | the thing is as- as it progressed it got better. It got better. You can go, this that and the other, but | 3560.4664 |
2707 | | 3562.1206 | I think as- | 3563.1379 |
2709 | | 3563.8524 | the way you carry yourself | 3565.1540 |
2711 | | 3565.5112 | it- it- it get better because the way you carry yourself because you know what you- | 3568.7030 |

2719 | | 3577.4569 | things went on, we- we can go there. | 3579.3751 |
2721 | | 3579.6391 | We can go down Stanton Road, we can go to Barry Farm, this that and the other, because | 3582.4970 |

2894 | | 3781.5656 | I refuse. | 3782.0238 |
2896 | | 3782.1713 | I might gotta go through there. | 3783.5071 |
2898 | | 3783.9575 | Hopefully that | 3784.5167 |
2900 | | 3784.6953 | o- | 3784.8040 |
2902 | | 3785.0758 | my- one of the jobs ain't over there. | 3786.8900 |
2904 | | 3787.1307 | But I refuse to. | 3787.8607 |
2905 | DCB_int_01 | 3788.5053 | [Hm.] | 3788.8004 |
2906 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 3788.5208 | [It's not-] it's not the same. | 3789.6469 |
2907 | | 3790.8506 | It's- it's not- it's not the same. | 3792.4814 |
2909 | | 3792.6803 | It ain't gonna be the same. And my thing is, I hate to set up and say, and I know people came | 3796.5730 |
2911 | | 3797.1379 | up the way I came up with poverty, | 3798.9055 |
2913 | | 3799.0274 | p- | 3799.1453 |
2915 | | 3799.3015 | uh, | 3799.5734 |
2917 | | 3799.9927 | babies having babies. They got more kids than anything in the world. | 3802.6331 |
2919 | | 3803.0525 | But | 3803.2777 |
2921 | | 3806.0160 | that- | 3806.3267 |
2923 | | 3806.5752 | that is | 3807.2430 |
2925 | | 3807.9730 | the problem. | 3808.6176 |
2927 | | 3810.6756 | If you wanna look at society right now today | 3813.1188 |
2929 | | 3813.4993 | the problem is | 3814.2837 |
2931 | | 3815.0269 | babies having babies. | 3816.1320 |
2933 | | 3817.9151 | I hate to say it. | 3818.5907 |
2934 | DCB_int_01 | 3818.9557 | Mm. | 3819.2275 |
2935 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 3819.3595 | You got a- You got a s- | 3820.1439 |
2937 | | 3820.5943 | fourteen year old boy, | 3821.7048 |
2939 | | 3823.3870 | a thirteen year old, | 3824.2645 |
2941 | | 3824.4198 | worse thing- you could have a baby. | 3825.5071 |
2942 | DCB_int_01 | 3826.1128 | Yeah. | 3826.4701 |
2943 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 3826.6642 | They can't finish school. | 3827.6582 |
2944 | DCB_int_01 | 3829.3637 | They haven't even [learned anything.] | 3830.6295 |
2945 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 3829.8219 | [And then- and then the] | 3830.6218 |
2946 | | 3830.7615 | parents | 3831.2974 |
2948 | | 3831.6051 | that had them | 3832.5699 |
2950 | | 3832.6797 | can't be no more than what, two- | 3834.2718 |
2952 | | 3834.6756 | two, | 3835.0406 |
2954 | | 3835.3637 | uh, | 3835.7209 |
2956 | | 3836.6295 | two- three years older than they are, | 3838.2215 |
2958 | | 3838.5938 | and still babies having babies, but none of 'em got no education. | 3841.2006 |
2960 | | 3841.4103 | None of 'em ain't got nothing. So | 3842.9091 |
2962 | | 3843.4779 | when you sit up there and watch your child | 3845.6039 |
2964 | | 3845.8213 | watch your parents sit up there | 3847.0220 |
2966 | | 3847.3015 | <inhale> | 3847.8918 |
2968 | | 3849.0877 | smoking weed, | 3849.9771 |
2970 | | 3850.6059 | doing dope, this that and the other, | 3851.9602 |
2972 | | 3853.3355 | they ain't sitting there talking about nothing. | 3854.7826 |
2974 | | 3855.3595 | They ain't- they ain't sitting there talking about now- | 3856.6176 |
2976 | | 3856.8040 | hey- they know, uh, | 3858.0621 |
2978 | | 3858.2160 | Lucinda over there, you know, they- that girl just had /another/ baby, this that and the other- What are you talking about? | 3862.0507 |
2980 | | 3862.7962 | That ain't- that- that ain't the conversation. | 3864.5125 |
2982 | | 3864.9210 | That ain't nothing. That gossip. | 3865.9367 |
2984 | | 3866.9091 | And that's why the kids right now today, | 3869.3398 |
2986 | | 3870.3675 | nothing here. | 3871.3037 |
2988 | | 3872.4042 | They don't- they don't | 3873.1809 |
2990 | | 3873.7168 | push the issue | 3874.6098 |
2992 | | 3874.8894 | about education. | 3875.7204 |
2993 | DCB_int_01 | 3876.1475 | Mm-hm. | 3876.5979 |
2994 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 3878.4198 | They don't say nothing. | 3879.1731 |
2996 | | 3879.7713 | Cause they wake up in the morning, doing the same thing they do each and every day. | 3882.7299 |
2998 | | 3883.1928 | Drinking, | 3883.6044 |
3000 | | 3883.8452 | talking about so and so. It's like soap operas. You look at TV, I Love Lucy, this that and the other. That's all you do all day. | 3888.1397 |
3002 | | 3888.4504 | So what do- what you got to talk about? | 3889.6277 |
3004 | | 3890.6140 | You ain't got nothing to talk about. You ain't- you ain't- you ain't going to school, you ain't in the working world. You ain't got nothing. So what you gotta talk about? Only thing you wanna do is talk about the neighbor. | 3897.1750 |
3006 | | 3899.6893 | Hey don't you know John down there selling drugs? | 3901.4088 |
3008 | | 3902.2377 | Is that really important? | 3903.3362 |
3010 | | 3904.0386 | How is that gonna make me some money? | 3905.2882 |
3012 | | 3906.1397 | Talking about John. | 3906.8231 |
3014 | | 3907.1074 | Talking about him selling drugs. | 3908.0626 |
3015 | DCB_int_01 | 3908.1713 | Yup. | 3908.4587 |
3016 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 3908.5441 | John- [/??/] | 3909.2741 |
3017 | DCB_int_01 | 3908.8237 | [How that gonna] do anything for you? | 3910.2371 |
3018 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 3910.3769 | Yeah, it ain't gonna do nothing for you. | 3911.6738 |
3020 | | 3911.8369 | So the- this- this what the problem is today, right now in the world today. | 3915.2432 |
3021 | DCB_int_01 | 3917.1146 | Mm. | 3917.3709 |
3022 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 3917.3631 | It- it's that babies having babies. | 3919.2698 |
3023 | | 3920.9868 | It ain't the point that your baby having babies, the baby- the thing is, you- you don't have no education- [you ain't got nothing up here.] | 3926.4742 |
3024 | DCB_int_01 | 3925.4569 | [Yeah you can't give them] nothing. | 3926.7538 |
3025 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 3926.8780 | You can't g- you- [you can't give] 'em nothing! | 3928.8506 |

3027 | | 3930.1009 | Yup. | 3930.3184 |
3028 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 3930.3153 | So guess what? I'm'a go out there, I'm like this. Now you mad now. | 3933.5847 |
3029 | | 3933.7634 | Your child, | 3934.5244 |
3031 | | 3935.1069 | ev- even you, | 3936.2096 |
3033 | | 3936.4271 | going out there robbing and stealing just to get a nice pair of pants, | 3938.9479 |
3035 | | 3939.1188 | clothes, this that and the other, going to the store just stealing, | 3941.0066 |
3037 | | 3941.2311 | this that and the other, this that and the other. | 3942.3184 |
3039 | | 3942.7998 | Kids doing the same thing. | 3943.8141 |
3040 | DCB_int_01 | 3944.1325 | Mm-hm, cause that's the [example they see.] | 3945.9808 |
3041 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 3945.1654 | [That- that- that's- that's how I'm'a make it. | 3946.7962 |
3042 | DCB_int_01 | 3946.9050 | [Yup.] | 3947.1535 |
3043 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 3947.0292 | [That's] how I'm'a make it. | 3947.7204 |
3044 | DCB_int_01 | 3950.0859 | Yeah. | 3950.4198 |
3045 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 3950.8314 | It's not jealousy. | 3951.8022 |
3047 | | 3952.0274 | It's- it's just what they had to do cause they had to make it. | 3953.9378 |
3048 | DCB_int_01 | 3954.4038 | Mm-hm. | 3954.8542 |
3050 | | 3956.1247 | [/I'm sure./] | 3956.7615 |

3052 | | 3957.8332 | And- and that's the- that's our- that's our biggest problem. | 3959.8912 |
3054 | | 3961.4802 | Go- go to the pros and see. Go- go- go to the hospital and ask 'em how- how many- how many kids | 3965.9689 |
3056 | | 3967.4109 | right now from | 3968.4820 |

3066 | | 3974.8936 | And they'll tell you. | 3975.5537 |

3126 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 4060.4856 | [It's not worrying] about the government. | 4061.8136 |
3127 | | 4061.9813 | It's not worrying about the system, how it is. I don't care who the president is. W- what- what difference who the president is? | 4067.1379 |
3129 | | 4068.9812 | That's not you. | 4069.6821 |

3147 | DCB_int_01 | 4097.2311 | And that's [the lesson that] we need to | 4098.6492 |
3148 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 4097.5651 | [Because-] | 4098.1087 |
3149 | DCB_int_01 | 4098.7843 | [instill. /Uh-huh./] | 4099.9073 |
3150 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 4099.0297 | [Cause- cause each] and every day | 4100.7460 |
3151 | | 4100.8703 | I walk there and I tell myself, and I gotta tell my kids, p- the police can't touch me with a ten foot pole. | 4105.4569 |
3153 | | 4107.4838 | Can't touch me | 4108.2992 |
3155 | | 4108.5722 | Only thing he aks me for is my ID. If I'm driving my car, the only thing he aks for is my ID. | 4112.4587 |
3157 | | 4113.5459 | Maybe my brake light out, this that and the other. That's the only reason why. | 4116.0862 |
3159 | | 4117.7054 | That's the only thing the police can say to me. | 4119.3362 |
3161 | | 4119.6469 | Police can't touch me. | 4120.7030 |
3163 | | 4121.6277 | It's not because it's Virginia. I know it's a commonwealth, they- they- they nasty police th- but you can't touch me. | 4126.5400 |
3165 | | 4127.9378 | The only thing you gonna do to me | 4129.1462 |
3167 | | 4129.3171 | is set up there and try to p- | 4130.5130 |
3169 | | 4131.1809 | /party/ if ain't nobody around, you gonna put me in a car | 4133.3864 |
3171 | | 4134.0823 | cause then like, you want your way, and I don't bow down to you, you probably take me over there and kill me, this that and the other. | 4138.2060 |
3173 | | 4138.5865 | Cause it's a commonwealth state. | 4139.6117 |
3175 | | 4141.1964 | This is Virginia. | 4141.8529 |
3177 | | 4142.6761 | Y'all made y'all own rules. | 4143.6935 |
3179 | | 4144.6331 | I already know what the system is here. | 4146.2640 |
3181 | | 4146.5628 | But I'm like this, outside that, you can't touch me. I can go to DC, this that and the other, you can't touch me. I- | 4149.9420 |
3183 | | 4150.0895 | I haven't did anything wrong. | 4151.2234 |
3184 | DCB_int_01 | 4151.4719 | Right. | 4151.7592 |
3185 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 4151.9901 | Look at my record. | 4152.7532 |

3189 | | 4155.5304 | uh, twenty, thirty years ago? That was then. | 4157.7670 |
3191 | | 4158.3572 | It's not now. | 4158.8775 |
3192 | DCB_int_01 | 4159.3481 | Right. | 4159.5889 |
3193 | DCB_se2_ag4_m_01 | 4159.5734 | And that's why I tell my kids, | 4160.6684 |
3194 | | 4161.0178 | if you do the right things, you ain't got no reason to be shaking your leg, this that and the other, scared, this that- | 4165.7597 |
3196 | | 4165.9617 | if you ain't do nothing wrong, what you- what you got to hide? | 4168.0405 |
3198 | | 4170.3728 | You ain't got none of that- Boy you better walk this- | 4172.2179 |
