People think I a mean bitch. I ain’t here kidding myself. Shit, they don’t know nothing about growing up in the ghetto. How they gonna relate? I tell you who does know about the ghetto. Mike Tyson. Black boy know all about flunking out of the school of hard knocks. That why I always felt sympathy toward his black ass. I knew he couldn’t help but fuck-up. It’s where he from.

What people don’t understand about childhood? People who had a soft childhood with lovey dovey parents…they just don’t get it, and they never will. They’ll never understand how it’s that early shit that gets under your skin. It’s a stink that you can’t shake off. And, you may be standing buying hundred of dollar of shit in Macy, and, you just never know…that stink may come wafting up when you don’t expect it. And, old lady in fur coat…her pink nostril be flaring out as she look away, and you feel so black as you look down at your shoes. Your shoe expensive now. Don’t matter. You still seeing those fucked-up Zip sneakers with the holes on the side that you used to run around that fucked-up Bed Sty neighborhood in. Now, the normal white world don’t understand that.

They got memory of bikes on Christmas morning and getting upset because their mommy be kissing them on the head too much. They don’t know shit about growing up in high-crime neighborhood. That shit get in your blood. The scum and junkie and drunks and the many daily humiliation and hunger in your belly like a rat inside there trying to chew its way out.

Yea. I get it. So, when I see what’s become of Mike Tyson, it make me sad. He once a perfect specimen of a man…now he just a fat, black man about 40 year old. That fuck up. He was once King. I remember him that way. Life will break a black man down and fuck his ass up.

Tyson say this sad shit in 2005:

My whole life has been a waste – I’ve been a failure.” He continued: “I just want to escape. I’m really embarrassed with myself and my life. I want to be a missionary. I think I could do that while keeping my dignity without letting people know they chased me out of the country. I want to get this part of my life over as soon as possible. In this country nothing good is going to come of me. People put me so high; I wanted to tear that image down.

The whole thing sad and fucked-up how a man can decline. Mike Tyson just another fat man.
