tried to live out her dreams
that never came to form.
I was the youngest
of three children.
My brother Rodney
and my sister Denise,
they were more
like my mother.
I always felt like the
odd guy, the black sheep.
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
And this guy right here,
this is my father
Curly Lee Kirkpatrick.
Wait a minute.
Now, if Curly Kirkpatrick
is supposed to be my father,
then who the f*** is this
dude on my birth certificate?
This is where the sh*t
gets really tricky, right?
So...
listen to this.
My mom said Curly's my dad,
but Percel f***ing Tyson
is on the birth certificate.
How did this happen?
No wonder I'm so f***ed up.
Here's the early proof.
I'm still not sure who the hell
Curly was the pimp.
You know, Percel was the humble
Jamaican cab driver.
A sucker.
I so desperately wanted to be
the son of the pimp
because in my neighborhood of
Brownsville, that carries weight.
my father,
him and my mother
must have made some deal
that once a year
you come around
and show your manhood,
show fatherhood.
And this is what he'd do.
He'd come around.
He always had a nice
Cadillac, of course.
And he'd come around,
beep the horn.
Boop, boop.
"Oh, God, Daddy's downstairs.
Look at his car, Daddy. "
"Get down here,
you little motherfuckers!"
And so, of course, we'd get
in the car happy, excited,
thinking we're gonna go
to some exotic place
like Coney Island.
Or Bear Mountain.
But, you know, that was some good
sh*t when you're broke back in the day.
That was some real good sh*t,
right? Especially from Brownsville.
Don't be talking like y'all are
some fly niggas all your life.
You know, it's like
going to Paris.
But anyway, right...
to our sad surprise,
five minutes later,
he'd go around the block,
he drops us back off.
Five dollars richer,
of course.
I don't know why we thought
each year would be different.
You know, I really don't know
much about my mother.
I remember her drinking
a lot and always angry
and fighting.
I knew she had dreams
of becoming a schoolteacher.
But then
she met my father...
well, the man I was told
was my father.
The fast-talking,
cool-dressing pimp
who I always credited with changing
the path of my mother's life.
And before long, she was
caught up in the street life.
But she paid
the heavy toll
because at heart she really
wasn't that girl at all.
So she drank
to cover up the pain.
And I suppose my addictions
started here with her.
See, I was born
with the addictive gene
to this day.
Ready to creep up on me
in my darkest night.
