Tee's life on the streets wasn't just any other lifestyle to be lived because he had to walk through a constant battle without his parents. Tee was led to a life of crime by one of his best friends in his neighborhood. Afterwards, Tee was caught up in a robbery and murder that led him to prison, which is where he met a man named P-Bands who showed him another way to being successful in these crooked streets. He taught him how to make money in ways other than selling weight to the fiends and dealers.
However, while in prison he decided to change his life and become a mentor for the youth in his community for the whole Memphis, Tennessee. That led him to be considered a beacon of light for their society, which is how Tee maintained until the government tried to set him up to fail in his quest to leave the streets and stand in the sanctuary.
