getting rid of it getting rid of it

that's the that's the challenge you know what I'm saying that's the challenge and

everything man

get everybody back on their feet

get everybody to live

live a life that they should be livin

the best way to describe skidrow

what's happening man? what's happening?

what up man? what's up? what's up man? chillen. The feeling that you get of walking around

on skidrow it's like the place where like ambitions just die

it's like

the people who were just forgotten

by our society

don't nobody high and mighty come down here. well you know you know I'm trying I'm trying to help yall out

to help yall out I got to see what's

going on on you know what I mean. thank you thank you, I was walking

down skidrow

the reaction was

what are you doing here

nobody comes down here because

nobody cares about what we're doing down here

so what are you doing down here? oh damn dude

how long have you been doing that for? a while man. No kidding?

Ok that's whats up man. Where did you find out you had that talent

Man since jump been robbing joints forever. No kidding.

When I'm driving downtown leaving the staple center arena after a game and skidrow is literally

a few blocks away

but it's not something that really registers it's just something you look over

because homelessness has been a part of our culture for so many years it's something that

kind of fades to the background without

you really driving by and really thinking about the person's

story of how did it get to this point and what's keeping them there

the hardest part really about it is you know is understanding that

it's hard to help people who don't want to be helped

that don't that don't

know that they need help

so you kind of gotta wait on most till they ready

to receive that help

now that's the tough part about it

we can easily sit back and say well

they made their bed now they have to lie in it

but what type of people are we to do that

we've all made mistakes and if you have the ability

to be able to lend a helping hand to help somebody get back on their feet

to correct their life to right

their wrong why aren't we doing it ?

eh man I'm trying I'm trying to get rid of the homelessnes man

I'm trying to get rid homelessness man

first of all I got to come down here to figure what the heck is going on and the best way to help yall out I'm gonna try to figure out the best way

to get yall on yall feet and get that opportunity yall

need to be getting

thats what needs to be done because yall have been ignored down here yall can't be getting ignored like that next step is

to continue on with the mission and uh raticaking

homelessness raising awareness about the issue and

uh... to the fight one battle at a time but

I think my passion is equal to the task
