The reason I have written this book is to reach the young man who is fascinated with this type of lifestyle and the young woman who is going to turn out to this life. All the pain and emotional damage leave scars so deep that it may be impossible to recover, if youâ€re fortunate enough to live through it. The glimmer and glamour is all an illusion, almost like buying your own advertisement. Through my higher power, which I choose to call G-d, I was blessed with grace and favor. Once you plant your mind, body, and soul into this life, drugs are a certainty in order to stay sane and deal with the daily grind. The big lie is Be true to the game and the game will be true to you. This life will take your life. The statement—Pimps are born and hoes are chosen—is another cliché wrapped in illusion.
