Personal Saturday for 8-25-12
Hey #TeamBankrollSquad,
I just want to honestly say thank you. Thank you for rocking with me when they said a hurricane was coming. Thank you for continuing to walk with me when they told us the flood was on the way. Thank you for flying with me when they said that the plane wasn't going to make it. Thank you for riding with me when they said the bus wasn't safe and that it would get bombed. Thank you for traveling with me from our land of peace to their war zones. Thank you for representing the same way you said you would when you were untested.
As far as this whole "child molestation" crap- that is obviously not true. No one molests children in this camp. Also, no one molests children and does under 10 years for it. The rumors circulated from my federal preliminary reports- which I know a lot of people may not be familiar with. The FEDS have to come with trumped up charges and accusations in order to ensure that you plead out to something. They have to stack the deck... They have to because by the time they come with their indictments, too many federal informant's names have been mentioned for me to walk away scott free. They HAVE to use the methods they use in order to convict- and have been doing this for many years.
In my case, I was a young pimp- and I'd become one after being homeless on the streets of Houston Texas at the age of 20. I'd been pursuing music and things just didn't work out in my favor. So from being homeless on those disgusting streets, a prostitute saved me. Although she left me the next day, she told me that the game had chosen me for a reason-and that I should respect it's rules as it has picked me up when no one else would. She told me that lawyers had drove by and seen me homeless, cops had driven by and seen me homeless, store managers had also seen this and none of them had reached out except for her- and that there was a reason for it.
So from 2003 to 2007 I lived that life all across the nation. In 2006, when I was in Atlanta GA; I met this female who told me she was 18 going on 19. She had tattoos on her face, shoulder, thighs, and back. She had one on her back that said "Mr. One Way." She had two teardrops tatted on her face. She had one on her shoulder that said "RIP" and it was dedicated to one of her "homegirls, that she'd just lost in the streets." She said her name was Teardrop and that her real name was Ida Campbell and she worked at Hooters. She told me that she had been in the pimp/ho lifestyle before, but she was about to change her ways- she said she was about to step her game up and go to a strip club. I said "cool, that's what's up..." After she worked at Club XTC on Piedmont Road in Atlanta for about 2 weeks, she called me up. Her exact words to me was: "This strip club money ain't shit."
She took the bus to where I was and joined my team, and then we traveled getting money for about a month. She rented her own rooms, using her own ID, I never thought anything was wrong- but my focus was in the streets anyway, not on any one person. During that month, the FBI did a raid in Washington D.C. and photo-copied the IDs of all of my peoples. At the time everyone checked out, no one had warrants, no one had any problems. But after this "Teardrop" left, a year later; the real teardrops came. The Feds had indicted me and told me that this woman was not who she told me she was. They told me she was underaged and that I would have to go down for it. My thing back then was... man, nobody's going to believe me... But I was wrong... the FBI themselves believed my story, and stated that they did because everything that I told them checked out.
They'd already sent that press release out so it was no retrieving that, but they still wanted me to do the time because the crime actually happened. So today I'm a rso, and there was no way around it. I'm not a predator, I don't wear an ankle monitor, I don't have a curfew, I'm just a rso because I committed a federal sex crime- pimping. This was not about sex, but all about money. I'd made that video back in 2006 right before the player's ball in D.C.
The same way I rep TeamBankrollSquad today, the same way I could make a Facebook post that would entertain, interest, enlighten and inspire-- --I was doing the same thing on Myspace, but for the pimp community. And I was getting wayyy more comments and responses then than I was now. I was one of the youngest ones in the game who was actually living that life, and the older circuit of guys pushed me along and wanted me to be a multi-millionaire off of the streets.
I never had any issues in prison, because there were pimps in there with ties to the streets. The streets told my stories to the pimps in the prisons, and that was that. That lifestyle is an unspoken lifestyle. It isn't something to bring up at a social gathering. It's not something to talk about unless you're speaking to the people involved with it. I started writing because Donald Goines was also in my profession and turned his life around. I started writing because Malcolm X was also in my profession and turned his life around. I started writing because I have a beautiful daughter who I would never want exposed to the harshness that I lived.
My story is delicate, and I didn't want it told because I'm still suffering from it. So that's why I haven't told it. I gave you all a glimpse into it with this excerpt... but as far as the entire story, the underworld would kill me if I told it. I was offered major dollars to do a street documentary when I get home, but I turned it down. So that was a slap in the face of all of the pimps who helped arrange my offer. They were like "you've been solid, you did your time and took no other pimps down- you deserve this to get back on your feet."
And still I declined. I told them that I had a better way to get back on my feet. I said that because I knew that after the documentary, I would have to get back to that life.
From everything that I lived, the one fact that always remained true was that women were the most genuine people on this planet. Before prison, I had real ride or die love, during prison I had real ride or die love, and thus that's why I write about it today with such great detail. I never said that pimping was something to salute, but I've always said that there is no greater woman than a ride or die woman. And in that game back then, that's the only place I thought I would ever find women who were ride or die and ready to prove it.
That's why I've been so in love with #TeamBankrollSquad. They allowed me to change my life- and at the same time, they allowed me to see how it feels to be in love with positive women. They showed me respect, taught me how to receive it; and by example, they also taught me how to give it. They showed me that ride or die women did not have to break the law to prove it.
#TBRS has shown me nothing but love, and I have shown them nothing but love in return. ---The rumors and lies and exaggerations are just that... I just told you the truth so help me GOD.
If you choose not to support me because of my past, then I understand that. You have that right. But as far as my authors, I don't see any reason to punish them because of my past. By punishing them, you're affecting many families at the same time. And if you say you're not going to support me, say that and leave it alone- and I won't release any more books ever again.
Thank you immensely to the people who didn't turn their back on me. I have screenshots of people who turned their backs on me without even getting the real story. I have screenshots of former "friends," and people who I used to chat with all the time on FB, who have their own "personal" problems with me and have used this melee as their free-all. I mean, some of these people were people who got angry if it took me more than 2 hours to respond to a text message- so I understand the fact that they will hate me for life; and for no other reason other than I made myself completely unavailable to them.
I've only been out 1 year now, but with people calling in to the FBI branch of Atl with their complaints, and my po catching wind of this- I don't know how much longer I'll be free. I guess it feels good to some people just knowing that they had a hand in knocking me down, and I can only guess the emotions of the people who once claimed that they were there for me---- as they bad mouth, down talk me; and curse me and my existence. But one thing is for certain.... We (#TBRS) will NOT lose.

Career or Family?
Hey Family,
On this beautiful Monday... I wake up and lay back against the pillow in one of the most comfortable beds in the world. I glance at the vacant spot besides me, then get up and go into the bathroom. In the master bathroom there is a his and hers sink setup along with a huge mirror; shower or jacuzzi tub- your choice. I brush my teeth and gargle, wash my face and exit.
The walk in closet has all of my shoes lined up across two rows. All of my clothes are on the rack, and then there's an empty rack and space where a female's shoe used to be. There are 3 flat screens in my house, bedroom, living room, daughter's room. All of them are off- a first. There is no noise in my house.
I go into the living room and have a seat on the recliner... But it's so soft that I immediately find myself on the way back to la la land. When I wake up, things are still quiet. There is no one here but me. I look in the yard and see cars that belong to me- I look across the living room and see a 65 inch HD Plasma staring me down. The backyard has a trampoline-
Everything was purchased by grinding from the mud. Everything was bought legally and by sacrificing anything that would interfere with progress. Even though I was married, i was still unable to do what was asked of me when I got home from prison:
"Spend more time with me" "
I can't, I'm writing a book!"
"But you just put a book out!"
"I know! But I'm trying to take over the game! Just be patient, let me grind please! I'm trying to make sure we never have to worry about money again!"
"Man I feel like I wasted my time waiting on you while you were in prison!"
"How could you feel that way??? Look at what I'm doing! Look at the progress!!!"
"But life isn't about money!"
"Whattttt???? I'm living in my Mother's house with you and my daughter, I have to GRIND!"
"Whatever then! Are you choosing your career over your family?"
I remember that day clearly... I hesitated and swallowed as hard as possible, but the truth spoke from me....
"Yes."
I will not sacrifice my dreams or my progress. I will not take my foot off of the gas pedal. The position I'm in right now... it came by sacrificing everything except for my dream. I honestly gave up a lot... Friendship, family, free time-
But after being caged up for FIVE years in prison, all of my motivation had been bottled up and sitting in one spot. I had no CHOICE but to make it happen, put things in motion so that Deja has a better life than I did. I mean... I had been trying to stress these words: "Why are you tripping so much? We do spend time together, I know it's not a whole lot of time; but it's because I'm trying to build an empire. I mean seriously... I make more money in one month than a lot of people make in a year- already. I'm 8 months out of prison and in this position, so just let me build it bigger."
So now... I need help. Someone teach me how to use the dish washing machine. I also may need help from time to time with trying to figure out these recipes when I cook. I don't like folding clothes, so my closet is going to turn into just a storage area because the hangers will become irrelevant. I'm on my prison diet right now. Tuna and mayo, chips and water. I've started back working out, getting my body back; clearing my mind and writing more. I'm being my most creative right now- and I wouldn't trade it for the world.
The only thing I genuinely miss is my daughter. But things always work out- and especially when you expect them to.

My Daughter
I'm really going to miss my daughter when she leaves this week. I hate the feeling I have right now... It sucks, but there's nothing that can be done. Life is like that sometimes, in that it throws a curve ball so quick, that you can't tell if it's a curve ball or a fast ball. I don't know which type of pitch I've been thrown, I just know that I must continue to swing. Nothing can take away the love I have for my little 6 year old. No one can change my love and opinion- I think the world of her, I do. I just have to see what the future contains because the past has been insane. Faith is what will keep me strong. The same faith I had when I was in prison for those 5 years... the type of faith that makes me understand that...
Even though I can't see her, I know that she loves me and will be alright. I know God will camp his angels around her while she sleeps and that my spirit will be with her when she's awake. I know she will be fine. I love her too much for her not to be. She loves me back, and we will be together again despite all obstacles. It's us against the world.

The Union, A Love Story 3; and other ideas.
After Tremayne releases "The Union," I'm sure the title is going to hit #1 on the chart. It is my goal and duty to see to it that he gets into the proper position to win win win! May 1st, we'll be having our first contest- which is not really a contest, but more of an Oprah show. Myself, on behalf and in honor of "The Union" uniting with "The Bankroll Squad," will be giving away 150 (serious) e-books; regardless of who it is (max- $2); and the only thing you have to do is change your book cover to Tremayne Johnson's "The Union. That is "contest" 1 out of a series of contests.
I myself has been working on what I think is my most brilliant work ever! It is entitled "Boss" by David Weaver, and will be released about a month and a half after Tremayne's release. This is indeeeed my most creative street fiction title ever. If I just posted what it's about, other authors would try to steal the idea asap. Lol. I'm sure after that, Tre Day 2 will be underway and in full effect.
In other news, I've gotten quite a few contract offers lately from people under major publishing companies. They have been texting me 1 o clock in the morning, emailing, hitting me on Twitter, leaving numbers on FB, everything... trying to see what I will accept. Well, I'll be very clear about it right now...
No thank you. If I'm unable to comfortably give my most loyal 200 readers $300 each to celebrate the contract; then I'm not concerned. This thing, #TeamBankrollSquad has been built from the ground up. Why would I sell it? The next time you call David Weaver talking about a contract offer, make sure it allows me to give away $60K and not even have to blink hard or think twice about it. Make sure that it's a number that if I repeat it on Facebook, you're not embarrassed when you see your name tagged as the culprit.
O.K... now that that's out of the way, I also want to announce that I have been writing some things for "A Love Story 3" ...and I don't think I'm going to publish it on Kindle this time. I think I'm going to do the whole story so that it rhymes, and go to the studio and record it. So the entire thing will be available as an MP3 download via iTunes/Amazon etc. This will be extremely erotic... so I would prefer listeners to be warned well in advance. My goal is to be able to do one hour excerpt performances. We shall see...
My name is David Weaver and I'm a part of a gang. I love each and every member, new member or original. Let's getit! #TeamBankrollSquad
