Roadblock:  I came here when I was _ fourteen _ , with a life expectancy of thirteen . I was bounced around from home to home until this ... became my home . Guys would line up outside that door to fight me . They whooped my skinny ass so much I started to enjoy it . Until one winter , I grew eight inches , gained sixty pounds , punched a guy so hard he could n't move his arm to tap out . Then when the Joes came recruiting to the hood , I 'd already beaten down half of it . I became a Joe to serve . In the field . So if we 're fighting uphill , we take the hill .
