• 4:22
  Speaker 2: One thing about Feddy that a lot of you might
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: not know. If you're Patterson, I'm sure you know you
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: do a lot of giving back. Why is that important
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: for you to do for that community?

• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Like you said I would never leave Patterson.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Why is that? Why do you feel that way?
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: I mean, if it wasn't for Pattison, I wouldn't to
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: have this, I wouldn't have that grit like I wouldn't

  Speaker 4: I wouldn't be who I am. I wouldn't be able
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: to stand up the way I stand up, you know,
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: like coming from these type of areas like Patterson, nor Orange, Irbton,
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: Jersey City, like Trenton, like all the all the areas
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: where they dubbed us like the bad cities. You know
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying, You got to have a certain type
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: of backbone to be able to grow up. And especially me,

• 5:04
  Speaker 4: one WILLI is kind of crazy, but you know what
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: I'm saying. Like, so growing up like that, you know,
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: it kind of it gives you. It gives you a
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: type of like a sense of like, no, I could
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: do whatever I want to do.
• 5:13
