He just was mixed in with the wrong crowd and went down the wrong road. “Uzi it hurts, leave you double-dead, I 'm a bubble head, I never listened to nothing my mother said” (Page 176) His mother warned him that the streets were no joke and that she didn 't want him hanging with his negative crew because they would only bring him down.
