4.64
227.28
brick here's the thing that i always say
3.681
229.599
to people
3.599
231.92
being poor
5.679
233.28
in a group or in a community that is
5.681
235.519
poor is not as bad as being poor
4.321
238.959
when you know what you're missing out on
5.44
241.2
so when i grew up
5.039
243.28
we played with bricks as cars and you'd
2.879
246.64
smash them into each other and it was
2.961
248.319
one of the most fun games i've ever
3.601
249.519
played the same thing with eating more
3.519
251.28
pani worms what i didn't like was when
2.8
253.12
we couldn't eat anything else and my mom
2.481
254.799
said we're going to have to eat these
3.439
255.92
more panini rooms for longer because we
4.639
257.28
don't have money to buy chicken
4.801
259.359
spending time indoors he became a
4.72
261.919
voracious reader
5.599
264.16
he wrote about his mother patricia noah
6
266.639
in his memoir born a crime saying she
4.88
269.759
raised him almost as if he was white
3.201
272.639
with no limitations on what he could
3.441
274.639
achieve
4.88
275.84
he wrote it was just the two of them him
5.36
278.08
and his mom against the world
5.199
280.72
but then she married a man named abel
4.88
283.44
who he said beat up his mother
3.84
285.919
then shot her in the head
3.68
288.32
the head bullets
4.72
289.759
didn't hit anything vital yeah other
4.8
292
than the head obviously
5.28
294.479
but it missed her spinal cord
5.119
296.8
missed the nerves didn't touch the brain
4.321
299.759
and all it did was it cut a piece of her
4.241
301.919
nostril off just just one side and the
4.24
304.08
bullet went out clean and my mom looks
4.16
306.16
at me and she goes trevor trevor
3.2
308.32
don't cry baby i said no mom i'm gonna
3.68
310.32
cry you're a shot in the head and she
4.959
311.52
says no no no no look on the bright side
4.88
314
i said what brain sign she says no
3.761
316.479
at least now because of my nose
3.92
318.88
you're officially the best looking
5.519
320.24
person in the family
4.959
322.8
you did say you had the black world and
4.321
325.759
you had the white world and this is a
5.121
327.759
quote from you all i wanted to do was
4.16
330.08
belong everybody wants to belong half of
3.68
332.88
our fights in life are because we want
4.72
334.24
to belong and so i grew up in a country
4.4
336.56
where i was told that your belonging was
4.72
338.96
defined by the shade of the color of
5.36
340.96
your skin and that never worked for me
4
343.68
you know i found my greatest joy was
3.12
346.32
with the people where we shared
4.64
347.68
interests and and the way we spoke and
4.96
349.44
the way we laughed etc so i always
5.599
352.32
wanted to belong
6.079
354.4
and and that that i think has been a
3.681
357.919
gift and a curse in life i have a funny
3.041
360.479
feeling
2.879
361.6
that you did belong because you were
3.2
363.52
funny
4.401

5.039
