We're having the conversations most people avoid about purpose, pain, leadership, relationships, identity, and the real walk with God.

And one of the biggest blessings of them all, man, to be back behind the mic and back in the building. One more time. One more Wednesday. Actually, the first Wednesday of June of 2026. How y'all feeling out there, man? Hope y'all doing alright. Hope y'all been taking care of yourself out there spiritually, mentally, physically, financially.

Some places got a lot of rain, some places didn't get much. ⁓ we got a little something, something, but not too much. Hope y'all had a good weekend and a good week so far. You know we're here to do get you over the hump, baby, and get you to the weekend, man. That's what we're here to do and that's what we gon' do, baby. We got a good show line up today, and you know how we do? Talk about it, cut it up, break it down, and give it to you, man. Straight like that. The raw, unfiltered truth. We're gonna give it to you. ⁓ My weekend was pretty cool, man. My weekend was pretty cool. I ain't had nothing to complain. Just a pretty kind of chill weekend. Had Ain't really did too much of nothing, man. Relax and chill. Sometimes that's some of the best times, man. ⁓ Went to church Sunday. Just kicking a little bit. Ain't did too much. My week so far been good, man. I can't complain at all, man. No need to complain. All is well. I can't complain at all. But what I will say is, man, ⁓ over the weekend, man, ⁓ been on social media and a few other things, man. I saw some things that was like disgusting as hell. Like, ⁓ All these graduations, first and foremost, excuse my manners. Congratulations to the class of 2025, man. Excuse me, everybody that's graduating. Congratulations to the parents that put in the work, the dedication. Congratulations to the kid. You got that diploma. You got one step down, man. You gotta think about your future, your next steps, whatever it is, man. I know it's gonna be great, man. But ⁓ salute to you, man. Congratulations. I tip my hat to all the graduates this. In the class of 2026. Congratulations, man. That's a big step, man. But you know, every time we take one step forward, we gotta come back to talk about some stuff and address some stuff. I mean, like, I think out of every graduation, it was like three or four, maybe five or six, I don't know, clips where they had fights at graduation. I mean, it was like Down in Toledo. I think it was in Toledo. I'm not forgive me if I'm saying the wrong place. But they had a fight at a kindergarten graduation. Like, what are you doing at a kindergarten graduation that you in there fighting and I mean rolling the floor getting it in? Some said allegedly, allegedly, allegedly, it was over a chair. Whatever it is, man, that's a bad look in front of the babies, man. I mean, it's just like, what's going on? Like, man, I seen kids with cap and gown and they're throwing hay. Not at the graduation for the kids, not at the kindergarten graduation, but at the high school graduation and different places, man. I saw, I mean, kids that's graduating, they're like throwing haymakers. I mean, like, you in the cap and gown, like one dude got his diploma and it's like, soon as he got his diploma, he got attacked. And there's a lot of other stuff that happened at graduation that didn't make you know the social media speech where people was recording or whatever the case may be. But this got to stop, man. Like this is a day where people celebrate their loved one achievement, their kid achievement. You got grandparents in the crowd. You got just people flew in from all over. And some of them joints got canceled. So you got to think. Somebody take time off from work, had to put PTO in and all that stuff. To come out there to see their loved one graduate from to graduate from school or whatever the case may be, and just to be there in a few minutes for it to be canceled. We gotta do better, family. Like, what's the fighting and the carry on about, man? Can we just get along for that one day in the moment and think about what's best? The child will hear celebrate? And in the mix of a celebrate somebody, I mean out there throwing haymakers like this, the UFC. I say sooner or later, man, they're gonna have graduational virtual and they're gonna mail up diplomas or the kids get the diploma and you just have to pick your kids up at the gate or something because it's starting to be crazy. Officers and people are getting hurt. Like this ain't light. Like I don't understand for the life of me. Where do where did all this pick up? I mean, I seen things happen at graduate from time to time, but it's like it's getting worse over time. Like, why all the anger? I mean, why? I seen one where the guy threw up gang signs or something and another guy and and and other side of the school. I mean, both of them been in the graduation class, but one guy threw up a gang sign or something and the other guy saw it and took it as disrespect. And the other guy walked by and hit him with the diploma and it was on. I mean, it's like these kids, you in high school. You at graduation throwing up gang signs to let the other dude know it's on, it's up, let's do something. I mean like this mindset. This is sad, man. This is sad. I just don't understand, man. Like, yo, this is my heart grieves for the people that just wanted to celebrate their day, but it got canceled or cut short because people out there wanted to turn it to the WWE. That's sad, man, on all different levels because you can't control your emotions that long. I guess they're living by this thing on site. Wherever I see you at is on and popping. You know what I'm saying? It's on and popping. You're gonna get this, da da da da. But I'm like, yo, come on, man. Come on, man. And then when you can't have nothing, or they say they're gonna cancel graduation and start doing ⁓ certain things to protect their staff and the police officers and stuff. Now it's gonna be a problem. ⁓ how are we supposed to see the kids or We're supposed to have a a time where they celebrate their achievements. But at the end of the day, they're not celebrating achievement. If you in the crowd, turn it to an all brawl. I mean, these ain't no, you know, these are brawls. I mean, these people out here brawling. And I'm like, yo, come on, man. They really out here brawling. I'm talking about it. It's just chairs and I mean people just out there getting it in. I don't understand. Like, Lord, please help our people, man. I mean, w we wanna be able to go out and enjoy ourselves and do what we gotta do without ⁓ without anything going wrong, man. You know what I'm saying? Without anything Being crazy to be able to have your grandmama and granddad and the older folks come to see you walk and enjoy it and go out to eat and just enjoy the time without all the nuance and the craziness, man. Like when would it stop? When? All the fight and the carrying on, the shooting, the, I mean, it just get worse and worse. Everywhere you go, somebody fighting, shooting, carrying on. My goodness. It's worse now than it's ever been. It's worse than it's ever been, man. I don't know. I don't even know, man. If somebody got some ideas or what we could do better, somebody let me know. Normthe great 843 at gmail.com. Send me an email. I'll read it, whatever you think. Because at now, now at this point, I don't even know what to say, man. I don't know what to say. I really don't. And that just That just made me upset, man. I I I just don't understand it, man. And anybody else who still got graduations to go to, man, govern yourself accordingly and be safe out there, man. Please. Just govern yourself. Just govern yourself accordingly and be safe out there. Keep your eyes open and please don't go out there and start no chaos, man. It's just not worth it, man. It's not. Hopefully everybody that was out there learned. But probably not. I was trying to be positive, but hopefully everybody that was involved in all that stuff, they learn and just like, yo, let it go. Whatever it is, man, let it go. Please. Let it go. A couple more things I'm gonna talk about, but I just was trying to figure out which one I wanted to talk about. ⁓ excuse me, that I wanted to talk about first because well both of them are important and I'm looking at this ⁓ looking at my notes and stuff or whatever. I have ⁓ a couple of conversations that I had over this weekend. And I had this conversation previous with ⁓ someone in the past and it got a little heated. I think sometime I may be a little naive to certain things and ⁓ it's not to say I'm better nobody. I just do a lot of things just didn't seem right to me. So we were talking about wages and How much somebody makes a year or whatever, but and I was thinking like, you know, when I see Jordan's dropping, the line around this corner, and I see what there's what the watch, the Swiss car, the AP watch they had a couple weeks ago. Everybody outside sleeping outside. I mean, people spending $1200, $1,300. And I'm saying to myself, like, people out there doing pretty decent. I mean, and I know everybody complaining about the gas prices and all that stuff, but I'm a truck driver and I'll be out and about, but the roads are still heavy, traffic ain't lighting up, ⁓ people still at restaurants, people doing whatever the case may be. So I'm like, well, it can be how people trying to make it to be. So this conversation came back up. and when it came back up, I was reading some numbers because you know I I I thought I was a little naive to the fact. I I can admit that. So when I read the numbers and I was looking at this thing, and I sat there for a second, because I was like, wow. And the numbers were saying it was like 56% of people. ⁓ in the i in the US or whatever make less than forty thousand a year. And I was like, what? I was like, no way. Because the way I was seeing how people live, you know what I'm saying? ⁓ people got Nice cars, people going on vacation, people doing pe this and people doing that. So I never I was like, Well, this should be making decent wages. I mean, people going on cruise. ⁓ Just enjoying life. So I was like, okay. The average person every week don't even make like a thousand dollars. And I was like looking at the economy with gas, nobody but it look excellent, but are we faking it till we making it? Or are we making peop we want people to believe that we have more than what we really have? That. And I was like, So with everything going on, how do you maintain that with kids and rent or mortgage going up? ⁓ Because that's a tall task, man. I don't care what nobody so I don't understand. How how do you do it? Because I'm looking around and talking to people and folks telling me every time I talk, some somebody they going on vacation, they going on vacation for a week, they doing this and doing that. And and I and I'm like, well, dang, Lord, I see what you're doing for everybody else. I mean, you know, look up for your boy, you know what I'm saying? Because I'm like, man, they living a good life. But then when I look back around and look at it, like, my question is now like, are they really living a good life? And I'm not here to judge nobody, but I'm like, are we robbing Peter to pay Paul? Or we're ⁓ living off of them ⁓ corners and after pay and all them stuff. And the thing that I said about that, I had the then I put on the back side of the conversation, I was saying that it's so many opportunities out here, man. It really is. It's a lot of opportunities out here, man, to do s other things, man. Like I know back, like I said before, in Charleston, South Carolina, where I'm from. And even on a little ⁓ college out here where I live now, they give out ⁓ they're giving out trades. Like they begging people to come to sign up to get like heating in air, electrical, be electrician, ⁓ plumbing, ⁓ welding. I mean, they doing HVAC. They're doing so many things. Like, you can learn building and coding, all different types of stuff. So, like if you're doing Let's say if you do make 50 or whatever, you take up a billing and coding class or whatever, get a certificate or whatever. Let's see. If you make in, let's say if you make, and I'm not trying to joke on nobody or whatever at the end of the day. Let's see what ⁓ with ⁓ billing encoding. And billing encoding, building encoding, you can make a salary up to ⁓ another 50. And top 10% of the earners make up to almost 80 grand. At entry level, you can make 41. So that 41 and that 50, you're good to go. So at the end of the day, yeah, you might have to do a little bit more, or you have to probably find another ⁓ another side hustle or something, but much is given, much is required. Sometimes you're gonna be stretched, you know what I'm saying? Like, I I I don't ⁓ I don't understand how. Some folks can be in certain positions and be content with that. Like, what is there to be content about? I never understood that. Like a lot of people will sit there and just complain about life. Man, I got s so many testimonies and talked to a few people that had all the ex all the reasons in the world to not chase their dreams or to be better with with what the odds stacked against them from birth, man. And they still push through and make things happen, man. So it ain't how to start. ⁓ the cars that were dealt, man. It's about the perseverance, man. Like going through it, man, and pushing because you know deep down inside you want something better for yourself. You are not your circumstances. You know what I'm saying? You're not what you've been through, you know? And all that stuff like that. That's why I always say, man, at the end of the day, tough times don't last, tough people do, man. And you got to hang in there. You got to hang in there. You got to. Because at the end of the day, man, you don't want to get to the end of your life. And I always say this, and be sitting in that rocket chair or be old or the nurse, whatever it is, and say to yourself, like, man, I wish I did this. I wish I did that. No, get these opportunities, man. And and and the way things are, you might need two or three things under your felt to dive in this and dibble in that. And that's fine. There's nothing wrong with that. But I don't understand how you can stay stagnant in a place to where you know things are rocky us tight. And some people done got to the point where they just give up and just be like, it is what it is, man. They just fold. But I refuse to fold, man. I'm in school right now and as we speak to do things, a few other things under my belt, man. You just don't never stop, man. To be the best version of yourself, you have to dig a little deeper. You can't take the road and be like, hey man. It is what it is, man. It's the hand that's been dealt to me and you know, that's how God see fit and you know into that woe with me joint, you know what I'm saying? The woe was me. ⁓ you can't live with that mentality, man. That ain't gonna do nothing for you. And you definitely don't wanna pass that pass that mentality down to your kids and stuff like that, because at that point, what are you doing? And what are you showing there? That it's okay to give up when things get hard or things ain't going the way you feel it should go. We just give up and we just be like, you know what? The heck with it. It is what it is. Ain't meant for me to have. Nah, sometimes man, you just gotta get off your butt and get up and go get it. Go grab that and go get it. Ain't nobody gonna give you nothing. Life's hard is not easy. If it all be easy, we'd be doing something else, but it's not. It's challenger. It will challenge you. And it's okay. It's okay to be challenged because guess what? It makes you better. It makes you stronger. You work on them weak areas and they make you stronger. And guess what? When you get stronger, you know, and you can always look back at what you overcome, and that's all it's about, man. That's all it's about, man. It's a lot of opportunities out here. Like you always on your phone. If you always on your phone, use social media or something. To get money, you know what I'm saying? You know, there's plenty of ways on your phone you can make money by doing different things. You know, and I ain't talking about breaking the law or doing nothing crazy like that. I don't doing nothing illegal. I'm talking about doing something right and making money the right way. There's plenty of different ways, man. They got, if you like playing video games, they got different things where people who like, you know, ⁓ video games. They'll pay you to play certain games and do certain things, you know? And everything adds up, man. Everything adds up. It's just about how bad you want them, huh? I think I ain't gonna say I think I know even in the Bible, God gave everybody a ⁓ gift and a talent. Stop sitting on it. Use it. Put it to work. It'll make room for you, I promise you. But you gotta tap into it, man. This ain't no time to be lazin complaining. Listen, man, God ain't never gave nobody the spirit of fear. God says He come to give you life and life more abundantly. That gun to light don't mean rich life, but it means a better life and a better way. And it and not now I'm not saying it's not rich either. But what I'm saying is that's not necessarily all that it boils down to. Because abundant life don't necessarily mean rich. Because a lot of people who risk don't have an abundant life. So you have to take that in consideration, man. But I never knew. Like, I think like in North Carolina and South Carolina, like the minimum wages are still like $725. Yo. I don't understand how anybody, and I promise you, man, I'm not taking a jab. I'm not taking a stab at nobody. It's not a diss. This is just a conversation, man, because I was blown blown away by it that somebody that you would hire somebody in 2025, I mean 26, making 725. Man, we gotta fix this stuff, man. We gotta get that stuff up, man. There's no way. Even with the waitress, I don't know their numbers, but that's why I always say when I go to restaurants, man, I try to be ⁓ courteous, I try to tip good. And I try to be kind to the waitress and the people because they work hard for their money, man. And they're not making the the top line or none of that. But I'm just saying, like, yo, when you go to these restaurants and stuff and people be nice and courteous and they do a good job or whatever, leave them a nice tip, man. Leave them a nice tip. They work hard for that, man. And and I always believe in that, man. ⁓ Excuse me. You know one thing that really grinds my gear, man, to go to a restaurant when you see somebody new or somebody older or somebody trying to get it or they just learning or whatever, and have somebody just over there being nasty, like being nasty. But I mean, people, they human, like bro. You can see somebody working running like a cut-off head chicken to this table, that table, that table. Give them some grace, man. Give them some grace. I can't stand that when somebody just giving them a hard time, just to give them a hard time. And I get it, that job ain't for everybody. But what I'm saying is when you go to the restaurant and stuff, man, give people grace, man. That's a I I can't do it. I mean, me personally, it ain't for me. Cause I see some people taking orders and stuff without the pad or without the little thing they got. I can't do it, man. I'll be done overwhelmed, boy. That's why I say I tip my hat to people in different fields that I know ain't for me. And I ain't got the capacity of doing. So that's why certain things I don't speak on. I keep my mouth off of certain things because I tip my hat to people because that got they got to be a special calling for certain people to do certain things, man, because that's why everybody ain't doing everything. And I'm good with that. And being a witch, ⁓ no, no, no, no, no. Uh-uh, no, sir, no, ma'am. I can't do it. I cannot. That right there have me acting like I'd be like a c ⁓ a chicken with a cut-off head, man. I'll be over here running. I'll be at other people's section. I don't even know ⁓ which ⁓ which ⁓ which table really was mine. Yeah, I'll be like a big cluster, man. They'll be like, bro, you you you in my area, man. And I'll be like, ⁓ my bad, man. I thought this was my area, see? That's why for me, I was like, nah. I'm good. It's best for me. See, one thing about me, I'm honest. I will definitely tell you that something ain't for me. But I'll give if I tell you I'll give it a try, I'll give it a try and see what it's about. But for the most part, if I tell you it ain't for me, hey bro, leave that alone. It ain't for me. It ain't for me. Cause I ⁓ And then the thing that I come back to when I hear A lot of women saying that they need a guy to make six figures and he gotta do this, that, and a third. Here's the deal with that, man. Here's the deal with that. When all these women saying he gotta be six one and he gotta have he gotta be making a hundred grand a year. Well, news flash. It's only like what? What 34% or something like that? Not even, I'm sorry. I don't even think that's right. I don't even think that's right. Scratch that. Scratch that. Because I definitely don't think that's right. ⁓ we're gonna look it up. We definitely will. Because I thought I had it. But I'm saying that right there is a shock in itself. ⁓ because when you look at these stuff, you was like, How? You know what I'm saying? Cause I it to me personally, I thought I was under the illusion that more people make more than what they really do. You know? And I was like, wow. So About 18% of American individual and roughly 34% household earn more than 100K. So 18% of people makes 100K. Eighteen. So my thing is, if only 18% where all these extra people coming from, you know, that's saying that that's the man, if that that's that's the belt the baseline for you to get a date, or that's the baseline for you to talk to somebody, or whatever the case may be, you gotta make a hundred grand. So you gotta be up in that area to get a conversation and a date, right? That's what they're telling you. But on the flip side, what are they making? Cause there's nowhere on God's green earth. The people that's requiring you to make 100 grand, definitely, you know for sure they ain't making no hundred grand. I can tell you that right now. I can tell you that right now, that the people that's telling you that you have to make a hundred grand. To go on a date with them and all that nonsense. That's not true. It's no way. It's no way. A lot of people out here are up to their neck in debt. In debt because they own credit cards and they're doing all type of stuff. And they're trying to put on and live rich and die broke. You know? And that's sad. You know? That's very sad how people do things like that just to put on to make people think they have more than what they have. And like I always said, be real, man. Be real. It is what it is. A lot of people in the same boat. Ain't nobody too much above the other. Everybody talking that nonsense, but most everybody jobbing and running game, man. A lot of people robbing Peter to pay Paul. They just trying to stay afloat, man. So don't let nobody fool you with all that nonsense that they're talking or try to make you feel this, that, and the third. Don't let them do it. I'm telling you, don't let them do it. Because to be in that whirlwind, they'll have you in that whirlwind just going around and around and have you thinking, why is all me? Or you thinking it's you, they come to find out. Most other so many other people in the same situation. When Michael Jackson said, you are not alone. I promise you, you're not alone. I mean, a lot of people live in paycheck to paycheck. And I understand it's hard to save when you ain't making nothing. Like people always screaming, save, save, save. But I'm it's hard for people to save when they spending what they make. And you making it, barely making it, what is there to save? How can you save? And I hear people talk about that all the time. Save, save, save. But if you're not bringing it in to save, where you gonna get the money to save from? If we're not bringing it in, where you gonna get it from? Me personally, like I always say, gotta be a better way. Especially with that 725. I don't even know what they expect you to do with that. Everything go up, got your paychecks. Everything. But my thing is When will they see that the money need go up? Every time it's time to vote. We always talk about vote, vote, vote, vote, vote. But what is really coming out of the vote? What is really coming out the vote? What is really coming out of the vote? Cause I don't understand. Everybody was talking about vote vote vote. But when something gonna really come out to benefit the people, the working class people, you know what I'm saying? Because of the times you see stuff go up. You know what? When you see stuff come up, ⁓ it always helps the people that's at the top. That making so much money or whatever the case may be. But like I say, man, stay strong, man. Do what you gotta do the right way. Find you a hustle. Work on your craft, your gift, and stick with it, man. Tough times ain't gonna last, tough people do. And I get it, man. It can get it can get nerve wracking. It can get real nerve wracking out there. Feel like you and and on a hamster on the wheel. You just keep running and ain't getting nowhere. But don't worry about it, you getting somewhere. It all works out. I promise you. Just don't give up. Cause we give up. You never know. You know, and that was a conversation about man, and I was still in awe after the conversation, man, because Like I said before and a hundred other times, I was just under this illusion that more peop was more financial s ⁓ scraped, you know what I'm saying? But when you really peek behind the curtains, man, a lot of people in tough situations. And I'm like, wow now. I was like, wow. I just thank God every day, man, for the opportunity to Get out of here and another day and an opportunity to make something happen with life, man. You know, that's what I tell people all the time, man, you got 24 hours, make it count, man. Every day God wake you up, you got an opportunity to do something productive. You don't have time to waste on nonsense that shenanigans and things that's not gonna matter. Find the things that matter and work with that. Let go the stuff that don't matter and the stuff that's holding you back with nonsense. Because at the end of the day, another thing that I want to talk about is you have to be mindful with the things that you consume. Excuse me. The TV shows, the music, the conversation you have with folks. I mean, a lot of these things you have to be mindful, man. Because you ever talk to somebody, right? And You talk to them and they just go on and on and on and on and on and on. And they talk about so much stuff. But after you get off that phone or whatever y'all were doing, they leave, you feel a heaviness. Like before you got that phone call, you was in a good mood, you had a good flow going on. But the minute you got that phone when you got that phone call or you had that conversation or whatever they came over or whatever, you instantly after it was over, you feel you shifting in between the conversation. And after they left, it's like a heaviness stays with you. Like then you're getting aggravated, then you look agitated, they'll empty the clip on you and tell you this, that, and the third from A to Z and get up and walk out there. Now they going on about their day, but they left that with you. They sit that right on you. That's what you need to tell him. Take that with you. You got to. Because if if you don't if you're not mindful with the stuff that you take it in, it's gonna take over you, man. Especially if it's negativity, man. If it's negativity with the TV shows you watching, the music you listening to, and all the other stuff. It takes a toll on me. You got to, I'll have that time alone to Refresh and release? That's like that spiritual time. Like, where else can you go to get that spiritual cleanser but to the creator, the one who gave us? You have to get in quiet and cut back on your screen time, cut back on all the other stuff you do, and give that time to the most high. It's silence and prayer and study. And you will it's it's amazing how. Once you start to Spend that time and replace that nonsense with intimate time with the most high. And you're cleansing yourself from all that negativity and that stuff, man. You start to feel better. And then you find out different ways to work with certain things. And you're not in that place to where you're keeping that stuff in, where you're always angrier, you're always sadder. When you see that conversation, it's this, that, and the third. Now when you answer that phone and take that conversation. Hey man, listen, man, I'm gonna holla at you, whatever the case may be. I can't, I don't have the capacity for that. But I'm I love you, I wish you the best, but I don't have the capacity for that. I don't have the capacity. And you have to be able to be honest with yourself because oftentimes, man, you want to be there for people and you wanna do this and you wanna do that, but at what cost? You often gotta ask yourself at what cost? A lot of things come with a high price. And you have and my question always is, are you willing to pay that price? Because folks don't mind talking to you and dropping all that stuff off on you. Cause some people you talk to, or they call you or come by, they always got something going on. It don't matter what it is, they always got something going on. And you like, holy crap, like yo, you don't ever have a break. You don't never get a break. Like, you ain't never had a breakthrough or nothing good happening. Let them tell it. There's always something crazy or bad going on with them. If you let them tell it. Always. And you'd be like, yo, at some point in time, man, you have to look at the common denominator. And it's you. We have to get to a place in a mature place to sit back and say, you know what? It's me. I got work that I need to do on myself. I need to get better. I need this. It ain't about nobody else. Excuse me. I have to be better. And then you have to go after it, do the work, sit in it. Like I always say. Journal. But you gotta be honest with yourself, man. You gotta be. I don't care what nobody else tells you, man. You got to be honest with yourself. Stop playing games, man. You know you got toxic traits or you got things you need to work on. And it's okay. Well work on them stuff. You don't need nobody to tell you that. You know what it is. Work on it. So I understand, man. You know, you sit around and people complain, complain, complain. Instead of sitting around complaining, work on yourself to be the better version of yourself. You know what you need. You know the work that you need to be done. Get to it. Nobody have to tell you that. There's somebody riding in the car right now, listening to me, knowing they got stuff they need to work on. And they're talking about that's such a such boy, because such and such like that. I know somebody like that. Yeah, yourself. Yeah, you. You. Yeah, you. Right there. And rolling your eyes. I'm talking to you. Exactly. That's you. You know it. But you don't want to admit it. But it's okay. How many friendships, relationships, and stuff you go to ruin because you got things that you won't need to address and you don't want to address them. Getting into it with a live body. That's you. Ain't nobody else. Ain't nobody else made you do it. That's stuff that you need to work on to change and get better. And I promise you, until you spiritual cleanse and do things that you're supposed to do. and release a lot of things out your life, you ain't gonna never get there. And you ain't gonna never have that peace that you so called you protect so much. Okay, you know everybody like that line. They love our line. But you know me, man. It's messed this my time, man.
