[02:11.29]My name is Tony Lewis Jr
[02:13.51]When I was 9 years old
[02:15.12]My father got arrested for his role
[02:17.55]In the biggest drug conspiracy
[02:18.52]In the history of Washington d c
[02:21.34]He will subsequently receive a sentence
[02:22.92]Of life without the possibility of parole
[02:25.92]That was 1989
[02:27.99]I've been without my father for 27 years of my life
[02:31.81]We live in a country that
[02:33.78]That's had this system of mass incarceration
[02:35.83]Of taking fathers away from their children
[02:38.93]And when your father goes to prison
[02:40.47]They tell you that your father's a bad guy
[02:43.25]Your father may be on the news
[02:44.90]They talk about him in the hood
[02:46.24]They talk about him in your household
[02:48.64]You know the love
[02:49.82]That you felt when that person was there
[02:52.46]You know the fun that y'all had
[02:54.10]You know what they did for you
[02:56.14]And in many ways what they did for you
[02:58.14]And what they tried to do to take care of you led them to prison
[03:01.66]In this country where our neighborhoods avoid opportunity
[03:04.48]People try to get it the best way they know how
[03:07.80]Men right with a divine responsibility to provide
[03:12.41]And protect for their families and they pay the ultimate
[03:15.62]Price sometimes which is incarceration
[03:18.76]For every kid with an incarcerated parent
[03:21.01]You should know your parent loves you
[03:23.73]And they're in prison they're dreaming for you
[03:26.07]They're wishing you're better than them
[03:28.20]So honor them in that way be that
[03:31.13]Worst thing you can do is follow in their footsteps
[03:34.77]So my advice to you is again live out your dreams
[03:38.39]Be better and don't get taken young world
