On April 17, 1992, I was convicted of criminal possession of a controlled substance.

When I got charged, I had to turn myself in. The judge said I had to come back and be remanded. That’s a fucked-up feeling, when you know you have to walk into court and you’re going to jail. People were telling me not to report to the judge, that instead I should just go on the run.

That’s some bullshit. You can’t run from shit in life, especially if you’re gonna be living the street life. You have to accept that there’s gonna be dues you have to pay for making fast money. All that money you’re making and jewels you’re flossing (showing off) comes with a price. Those dues come in the form of robberies, death, and, of course, jail. I figured if I just did my time now, I’d get out fast enough. Probably one of the smarter decisions I’ve ever made.

And the really crazy shit, looking back on it now, even with all the trouble it caused me, in the end I’m kinda glad I got locked up. I feel the Lord was intervening on my behalf, working in his mysterious way to get me off the streets before I slipped into becoming a true Savage. He always had bigger plans for me, that’s how I always looked at it.

But at the time, I remember feeling like I had no idea what was going to happen to me. If I was going to make it out of this okay, I had to pay real close attention so I could learn how to go to jail, how to bid and come out the other side in one piece.
