Simplified Meaning:

Growing up in a tough neighborhood like Compton, USA, exposed someone to a lot of hardships and challenges. This difficult environment influenced them deeply. The phrase "made me an angel on angel dust" means that, despite the rough surroundings and the temptation to do harmful things like drugs (angel dust, a slang term for a drug known as PCP), they managed to survive and become stronger. An example could be a young person who lives in a crime-heavy area but uses their experiences to become wiser and more resilient. Instead of falling into bad habits or dangerous behaviors, they learn from what they see and work hard to make a better life for themselves. This shows that difficult circumstances can sometimes lead to personal growth and strength, even when it seems like everything is against you. To apply this to one's life, someone facing tough situations can try to find lessons and strength in their experiences, and use these to rise above their challenges rather than let them bring them down.
