Story behind the song
Crito Dabeast (The T is silent like the D in Django) - Born Eric Pena from Houston, Texas. With his father serving life without parole and his mother recently released from her third conviction in the Texas prison system. (on unrelated charges,) It's not rocket science as to why Crito has had his own run in with the law. This is his story........ The youngest of three brothers, surely a product of his harsh environment. He spent his early years running the streets. At the early age of nine, Crito had already found himself in and out of boy's homes and shelters. He was reported as a run away, trying to escape an abusive father, in search of a mother he hadn't yet met. By his early teen age years he found himself in T.Y.C. (Texas Youth Commission) A youth prison or 'detention center' for under age felons. He was charged and sentenced for breaking and entering and an auto theft charge. He claims "my environment forced me to be a convict before I had even reached adult hood." At the age of twenty two, Crito was facing 5 to 99 years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice System. He was following in his two older brother's foot steps'. A lengthy prison sentence was definitely in his future. Allegedly, (well he was indicted, convicted and sentenced. Sorry to spoil the ending) involved in an Aggravated Robbery that led to an adrenaline, heart pumping, high speed chase. Twenty two police cruisers complied of four different police precincts & two helicopters, speeding through the rural and downtown streets of Houston, Texas. Reaching speeds over 100 miles an hour in a Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz. A Harris County Sheriffs officer risked his life and drove his patrol car into the front of Crito's Cadillac. "it started to rain in the Heights, I had just pulled off the freeway, all the while not knowing my family was watching me on T.V. in this high profile high speed chase..." "I saw the whites of his eyes and then he ducked under his door to brace for an impact" So then what happen? I eagerly asked. "I slammed on the brakes, not a scratch on my ride or my rims, but that was the end of the road, they beat our a@@ after that! Hands up guns drawn, I know when I'm beat" he explains with arrogance. "I was young and stupid, but I loved cars and I been driving since I was three. That's the only memory I have as a baby with my mother. Driving my uncle Boo Boo's truck with her in the passenger seat and me in my uncles lap. You ever see the movie Baby Driver? I did that ish in real life... not trying to glorify it or anything." "I look back now and for sure I'd have made a lot of different choices. I ruined a lot of things. My family and my life included." "I thank God for this second chance everyday. For all my kids and this wonderful woman He put in my life." "WTF was I thinking?" exhales Crito, "we had no food in the house, my father told me it was my fault for having a baby, he sent us away without help" Crito explains. "I felt I had no way out, but I know better now." " 'F' it, I did what I did and all I could think about was not coming home to my baby daughter, not just broke again but not at all, for years." His worse fear was about to come true..................... He continues, "I was slamming on the brakes soft then hard after making contact with the police cruisers' bumper, it kept their momentum from making my LAC fish- tail. They could never get me, that really pissed them off..." Crito Dabeast recalls "after chasing me for over an hour, I remember going through a tunnel, hearing the loud police sirens behind me. I looked in my rear-view, it was like a parade of different police officers...I can still remember it ever so clearly.... the officer shouting over the load speaker " we now have permission to shoot! " "Ahhhhh FK" Crito sh
