In my song We Be Burnin? I say it?s the best thing for my meditation. I was a teenager when I first experienced smoking it. My father had been smoking it around me since I was a kid.
I knew it was something that other parents probably didn?t do, and I knew it was wrong in terms of the public view of it, but I didn?t think that daddy was a bad man for doing it and he didn?t change his attitude towards me or the family.
SP: Yeah. As a youngster, my father was a gangster. He was a hustler, I should say. Tryin? to make things here and there. A couple of them went bad, but one was very, very grave ? what you can call a mistake, or a big lesson. Staying in general penitentiary for six years because of an incident when he was tryin? to send away some weed, tryin? to export it from Jamaica. So that was his story, in terms of always tryin? to make that buck, and doin? it through ganja, and he was incarcerated because of something that happened to someone; he could have stopped it from happening, and he stayed in prison for six years of my teenage life, from the time I was 13 to 19 years old. And that?s really the bottom line.
