Devionne Jones Reap What You Sow

If I was somewhere playing sports I don’t think I'd be in the situation I’m in right now.

I would probably be in California somewhere living in a $2 million mansion with my family.

Riding around in a Rolls-Royce, G wagons and hellcats.

Yeah, I'd miss Chicago, but regret sitting in Cook County jail fighting a 21 to 45.

After I graduated high school I should’ve just went to college.

I probably wouldn’t be here right now.

Graduating felt like I really accomplished something in my life.

I actually felt like I was smart and I didn’t let my mom down. Walking across the stage felt relaxing.

I felt like I made an example by me being the first person to graduate from high school in my household. I still felt like it wasn’t enough.

Hanging with the guys, going to parties every weekend, popping pills, x pills to be exact.

This became an everyday thing for me.

Every day all the guys wanted to do was go on the block with some girl and get drunk and high.

That's when I started hustling a lot selling pills and weed.

I was seeing a little money, but still wasn’t enough to move my family out.

I’ve never really had an answer for people when they ask why wasn’t I playing ball.

But I knew that was a stupid answer.
