Early life

Mann grew up listening to rappers such as Rakim and Slick Rick on Hot 97. He started rapping at the age of 13. A member/affiliate of the 24th St. Garden Blocc Crips during his youth, though it is locally disputed about his true affiliation with the gang because of his affiliation with another south Sacramento street gang, Elder Creek Mob aka Double E Mobb, because of his song with Sicx "Creek Mobb's Loadin' Em Up," though Lynch mentions this in his song "24 Deep" with lyrics that say at about 0:58 of the song, "...I'm all up in this shit and ain't even claiming, trying to survive in the hood is hard enough cause them niggas already think I'm claiming Creek Mobb, tripping off getting snuffed in the View, smoked in the Gardens, staying out the Creek cause it's hot...". Lynch also had a feud with another local south Sacramento rapper Gangsta Dre, a Loma Verde Piru gang member who released a dis record about Lynch due to his affiliation with the 24th St. Garden Blocc Crips and Elder Creek Mobb in his song "Funk Central Haterz," with lyrics saying "...Ms. Doc and Sista Lynch cause ya'll both a couple bitches make me wanna holler, hollows ripping through your collar from my fully auto, you bang the Blocc but you used to be from the Creek..." . He was shot in the side when he tried to break up a confrontation between a fellow Crip and a Bloods gang member at a party. Mann still has the bullet inside him to this day and the incident motivated him to leave gang culture behind.

Official versions

Music video

In the music video for this song, Geiger puts on earphones attached to his iPod shuffle, plays a piano in a house, throws playing cards into a fedora hat, and starts singing. Then as the video progesses, water comes out of nowhere, and the walls of the house come down and he's seen outside on a field with a girl who's perhaps the exact his age and then his piano goes on fire and Teddy is seen holding hands with the girl towards the ending describing a situation exactly similar to the song as having a broken heart.

Plot

1952

The 1952 segment deals with Claire Donnelly (Demi Moore), a widowed nurse living in suburban Chicago, who becomes pregnant by her brother-in-law (Jason London) and decides to undergo abortion in order not to hurt her late husband's family. However, abortion at the time is strictly illegal. Claire eventually finds another nurse (CCH Pounder) who provides her the phone number of a woman who can find her someone to perform the abortion. The woman on the phone tells Claire that the only trustworthy abortionist she knows is located in Puerto Rico, and Claire cannot afford the travel costs. After a failed attempt to end her pregnancy with a knitting needle, Claire eventually contacts a man who comes to her home and performs a clandestine procedure on her while she lies on top of a kitchen table. Claire finally manages to abort, but dies shortly afterwards due to hemorrhage.
