TOP SECRET... the only real people are the ones you can hug.
The Sun sees the moon, and earth is the Sun's imagination.
My good friends are not afraid to fly close to the Sun, and my best friends can fly through the Sun.
Clothes, food, and shelter is all I need in life. Being joyful, those 3 things are guaranteed, and money becomes nothing.
Craig Grant in 1991
1991 – 16 years old. I started getting into music and dancing. I was known by my friends as a very good hip hop dancer. I organized a dance team with 8 of my friends, we practiced after school and WON the school talent show dancing a choreographed routine. That was a big event for me. My girlfriend Tamarah was in middle school. I flirted with many girls in my High School. I continued my computer studies taking advanced computer science classes in school. I also got into drama and did school plays. I lived in a suburban neighborhood called Royal Palm Beach, there I hung out with allot of white and Jamaican friends. The girls were easy going and fun to be with because their families already had $$. My mother was studying to become and Registered Nurse and working 12 hour days.
I learned to drive from my mother and taking driving class in high school. One month before turning 16 I bought my first car for $500 from my friend and neighbor Andre. It was a 1979 2 door Buick Regal, and a gas guzzler. I bought it with money I made working at Winn Dixie grocery store as a bag boy. In school I continued with cross country and joined the Science club. My after school activities included cross country training and drama practice. I spent the best times sneaking into my girlfriends window at night to have sex all night then leave in the morning before everyone wakes up.
I started dancing for a local rap group, they were also from my high school. I started hanging out more with black Americans. I was spending allot of time in the ghetto part of West Palm Beach, and I learned allot about crime and drug dealing. I fell in love with doing music and started focusing most of my time and energy into it. I started writing rhymes and developing my lyrical and rapping skills. I formed a rap group called “Chosen Chiefs Of Flayva” with 3 other guys from my neighborhood, we all had the same east cost rap style. We were very hip hop. We spent allot of time dancing, writing rhymes, and watching rap videos. We went to the studio and recorded our first song.
I started to do shoplifting to get $$. I would steal jeans from department stores and then return them to get $$cash, it worked in those days, not any more. I showed my friends this and they started doing it. I worked allot of part time jobs on and off. At home I was upgrading my computer skills, I became very proficient in using DOS operating system and knew how to build my own IBM compatible PC. I was a computer nerd behind closed doors.
