My intention in writing this book is to give the reader a brief summary of the street life I was living and the consequences that came from it, good and bad.
The thought came to me December ‘06 when I was placed on lockup for having a cellphone inside the prison. On lockdown, where I was around a few men I knew while being confined to a cell 23 hours out a day, conversation of our past life on the street were discussed. Asked by my neighbor whose name was E.B., a Westside cat, to write a book from the stories I dwelt on, I sat back and contemplated what could I really write about? What lesson or message could I give to the readers that was worth talking about? The answer to my question arrived along with the title of the book: For What It’s Worth, An East Baltimore Memoir.
The book is based on my transition into the street life and being able to accept the consequences of my lifestyle. For those who are fascinated with the street life, I hope as I take you through my journey you will see the untold stories of this life that are not always told.
This memoir is not an encyclopedia collection of every aspect of my life. Rather, it is a remembrance of highlights that stood out to me. In this book I take you through the typical stages many youth grow up seeing on a daily basis and the pressure of wanting the fame and glory. Unlike most urban real life stories where you have the writer glorifying the sex, money and murder game, but failing to point out that with the fame and glory come great consequences that can have the most richest man standing on his own. For those who are fascinated with this life, I hope my story give you a second though. Enjoy.
