Game Recognize Game

This is my life, my words, and my world. My name is Timothy C. Ritchie Sr; I was born in Los Angeles California the home of the famous movie stars, rap stars, crips, bloods, thugs, fashion, etc. About 13 years of age I entered a life of crime, drugs and gang banging. Being raised in the heart of L.A. was a death sentence to the weak, and a million dollar gold mine to the strong. I played my cards how they came; I learned all my game from women and got all my heart from the streets. My OGs taught me how to see through fake frauds and part-time broads… (The Macc Game.)

In 1996, my grandmother Opal Jackson, and my mother Alicia Jackson wanted to move to a safer place. They always talked about a little town in Arizona called Eloy. They told me it would be a better and slower place to live. We moved to Arizona and with the rage I had in my veins from the California lifestyle, I didn’t fit in with the people in Arizona. I was too street smart in my ways, and what I had seen in L.A. was the realist. After living in Arizona for about six months, I’ve thought back on my life in L.A. and how I had met and was raised around celebrities and all the doors and hookups I had. At the age of 14 I had a rap group and by working hard we got a full ride to be in Marla Gibbs Acting School, “The vision complex crossroads & arts.” Ms. Marla Gibbs played on the old Tv show “2.2.7” and most of us know her from being on the Jefferson’s back in the day. She accepted my group for a five-year deal in her acting school, plus she signed on to be our agent. I played roles on TV game shows; I modeled for “ Playa Clothing”, and I had a role on Good L.A. once. In my life, I did it all at a young age, and I’ve seen it all, but I’m still learning how raw life can be.

In Arizona, I was still doing music, rapping and doing shows in different cities, but my life soon changed for the worse. I stopped rapping, acting and modeling. I fell deeply into my selfish ways; gang banging, gun play, and cheating on my women, robbed my home boys for drugs, etc. My life was ending I could feel it in my blood, and I told myself that there is a lot of good in me. I knew that I had to change before it was too late.

Right after I had my first son Timothy Jr, life hit me hard because now I was someone’s father. I got a job and a house for me and my baby momma at the time, we both went half on everything. I put away my blue rag and squashed all my beef in the streets. My life was turning around, but that’s when karma hit me hard. In 2000, I got shot in the neck with a 9mm handgun and I blue-coded two times in the air vac. I was DOA. My heart stopped for two mins the first time and 1 ½ mins the second time. The bullet broke my jaw, went through my throat, and through the right side of my shoulder. I’m lucky to be alive today to tell you this story. The doctor stated that the bullet hit my voice box and that I would never talk again. However, GOD is good, I beat the odds, and I started talking 25 days after I was sent home. It didn’t stop their karma hit me again because three years after I got shot, I came to prison.

Whatever you live by you die by, and in the end guns & women plus living in that star-fame type of lifestyle fast lane got me. So I say to you who read this, race doesn’t matter, or what you’ve done in your past whether it is true or false, people going to judge you regardless of what they hear. They’re human even though facts may prove different. Just remember we are one (Human Race), and only GOD can judge you, not man or woman who walks the face of this earth. Love and respect others what you do and do it to the fullest. Don’t let your past bring you down nor let it reflect or shape your future. So the question is asked Who Am I? I am a human being that GOD created and formed on this blue and green earth, with many gifts and talents, he has given me a brain to learn right from wrong and also to program and store information.

I was taught as a child up onto my adulthood and on and beyond until my hair is white or gray as an old man. So from my birth until my death there’s going to be up’s and down’s, smiles and frowns, joy and pain, mistakes & comebacks. I am a man that’s perfectly imperfectly, a man of vision, a man of heart a man of GOD, a family man, a hard-working man. I’m loyal, humble, down to earth, real and love to help others. At the end of the day you can’t run from GOD’S plan for your life or fate, so ride your future out like a wave and trash your past and kill people not with a gun but success. Negativity breeds anger, bitterness, resentment and malice only. Live life that’s what MaccRabbit now has learned to accomplish, and it’s all new. I’ll drop this on your mind in closing; if we all live and learn from our mistakes today, we can all learn to live and love tomorrow’s future.
