Aye man, all I can tell you is that Bham is a wild ass city. There's a reason I got the fuck on from there with the first chance I had. These aren't the type of activities you should be participating in when damn near everyone has a gun. I lived in Bessemer, saw this type of shit around me every single day for years. Prostitution, street shit, dope, poverty and death... every...single....day. A lot of people thought I was crazy when I got to Howard and said that the violence there wasn't that bad to me. When you're from Birmingham, violence is just a part of life. Sad situation.
