I got into a little trouble my senior year. You know, we all make mistakes. And at that moment when that happened, I thought my world was crashing down on me. That situation, when I look at it, I don't want to change. Not one thing. And I'm going to tell you, bro, it made me stronger. What up? It's your player partner, 2 Chainz checking in. A multi platinum artist, a Grammy award winning hitmaker, hip hop superstar, two chains. I never forget this school. And I never forget Ms. Love either.

Ms. Love wrote to the school board urging, quote, don't throw this child's life away. Give him a second chance.

I feel that. I feel it to anybody that's watching this that's going through something right now that's in the middle of a storm. You have to.
