The Quote 'This Far down south, and i have no self control' is (TO ME) him saying something about his drug problem AND New Orleans. im sure he knew deep down insdie him that that place what not a great place for him to be. a town full of toxicity. that mixed with his ways already, somewhat took him down if you ask me.
