here. i would still be stuck with the image thing. i was really into the gang-banger scene. i was really caught up. >> lee's childhood neighborhood was riddled with gangs. and lee joined up when he was barely in his teens. >> not listening to my family. not listened to ma. do everything. running with the wrong crowd. i put my homies before my family. and that's all i knew was my homies. homey this. homey that. >> lee told us, despite being shot five times and serving a prior prison sentence, he couldn't give up gang life. then, his story took a turn. it had to do with recruiting his younger brother into the gang. >> when i was growing up, i never thought i would get past 21. i want my brother to get the same respect i was getting from the neighborhood. so, when i'm gone, my brother gets the same respect. don't worry about bullying. just trying to run over him or
