Special Ed recollected his generally unsafe and crime-ridden childhood in a high-risk neighborhood, stating the protection required led him to possess a legal pistol as a teenager. Besides sharing anecdotes of crimes committed during the time, he also highlighted the story of two of his best friends who were charged with serious crimes. His friends suffered long-term consequences for their juvenile actions, which had a profound impact on Ed, fostering a sense of maturity beyond his years. He also revealed how one of these friends used to lend Ed his ring to make beats when he was battling. Despite their troubled pasts, the friends are now leading productive lives after serving their sentences.
