- 1:46Speaker 2: Shit.
- 1:46Speaker 1: Just locked this shit in. But today's episode, we're gonna
- 1:51Speaker 1: talk about when is We're gonna talk about different things.
- 1:53Speaker 1: We're gonna hop around you feel me. But the first
- 1:56Speaker 1: question I want to ask what is when it's Let's
- 2:01Speaker 1: see how you can put this question. When is it
- 2:03Speaker 1: time to let go? Like when have you held on
- 2:06Speaker 1: a little too long? Whether it's a job, whether it's
- 2:09Speaker 1: a relationship, whether it's a friendship, Like, when is it
- 2:14Speaker 1: a time to let go?
- 2:17Speaker 2: I mean, so letting go? Can it can pertain to
- 2:21Speaker 2: a lot of different things. It could pertain to regrets,
- 2:25Speaker 2: it could pertain to depression, It could pertain to a heartache,
- 2:30Speaker 2: you and your friend not clicking no more. It could
- 2:32Speaker 2: pertain to a lot of different things, you know what
- 2:33Speaker 2: I mean, grieving people. So it really just depends on
- 2:37Speaker 2: the context. The context of what it is that you
- 2:39Speaker 2: letting go really matters. But I would say I think
- 2:42Speaker 2: there's maybe almost everything outside of grieving. Maybe, and then
- 2:47Speaker 2: even then I think that's some space to let go.
- 2:49Speaker 1: But you kind of like griev and take time. Your
- 2:52Speaker 1: grieving take time.
- 2:53Speaker 2: I don't know if you let go of it as
- 2:54Speaker 2: much as you you get comfortable.
- 2:56Speaker 1: With grieving takes time.
- 2:58Speaker 2: I agree with that, you know what I mean, Yeah,
- 3:00Speaker 2: you probably get comfortable comfortable with it more so than
- 3:02Speaker 2: you let go of it. But like, but that's extreme though,
- 3:05Speaker 2: so like outside of the extreme, it's like I think
- 3:08Speaker 2: you can overstay your welcome on anything. I think there's
- 3:11Speaker 2: a time and a place. Everything's supposed to end in
- 3:14Speaker 2: something new, It is supposed to begin at some point.
- 3:16Speaker 2: So if you overstaying, you're welcome in a chapter when
- 3:19Speaker 2: you really could have you know, you overstay, so you
- 3:22Speaker 2: really could have like released that and then you could
- 3:24Speaker 2: have put your hands on something else that was going
- 3:25Speaker 2: to help you get better. That's when you you need
- 3:28Speaker 2: to let go, like you know you, yeah, you need
- 3:30Speaker 2: to you need to get out of this at some point,
- 3:32Speaker 2: Like it's okay to do your thing, feel your feelings,
- 3:34Speaker 2: feel your emotions, but at some point you got to
- 3:37Speaker 2: start something new. I agree you got to start something
- 3:40Speaker 2: new at some point.
- 3:41Speaker 1: I feel like when your mental health started taking a
- 3:45Speaker 1: toll and overpowering you, I think you overstayed You're welcome
- 3:51Speaker 1: and that job or that relationship exactly. I feel like,
- 3:58Speaker 1: I feel like if you can't live without a person,
- 3:59Speaker 1: I feel you overstayed you're welcome.
- 4:02Speaker 2: What you mean, though.
- 4:04Speaker 1: You're in a relationship and that person don't want to
- 4:06Speaker 1: be with you, you feel like you can't live without
- 4:08Speaker 1: this person, and this person was like your lifeline and
- 4:11Speaker 1: everything else. I felt like you overdid it.
- 4:14Speaker 2: If you listen, if that person left your life and
- 4:16Speaker 2: that person moved on to another person and you still
- 4:20Speaker 2: like hung up on this ship like behind it.
- 4:22Speaker 1: They didn't moved on, So it's like, wow, why is
- 4:24Speaker 1: taking you so Why is taking you so long to
- 4:27Speaker 1: move on? I feel like you're hurting yourself even more
- 4:29Speaker 1: by standing by because you watching their happiness and I
- 4:36Speaker 1: feel like that shit fucked you up even more. I
- 4:39Speaker 1: feel like that's real. We really have to start a
- 4:43Speaker 1: lego be happy and lego.
- 4:45Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 4:46Speaker 1: It's like because the only person that's being hurt is you.
- 4:48Speaker 1: Why they living? Is they living a great life?
- 4:51Speaker 2: That's the most important part.
- 4:52Speaker 1: And you should come number one before anybody, because it's
- 4:56Speaker 1: like when you you go on social media, your mind
- 5:00Speaker 1: is already program and set to keep going on these
- 5:02Speaker 1: people pages you see happiness that you're gonna suck you
- 5:06Speaker 1: up even more. Depression is real. You feel like your
- 5:10Speaker 1: word is wrapped around this person, and this person not
- 5:13Speaker 1: even you're not even in this person word no more.
- 5:15Speaker 1: So I feel like you gotta let go.
- 5:18Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like even holding on and it's almost like
- 5:22Speaker 2: you addicted to pain in a sense, because clearly letting
- 5:25Speaker 2: go is the thing that's gonna make you feel better,
- 5:28Speaker 2: and you know that that's the first step, You know that,
- 5:31Speaker 2: But the fact that you keep holding on to it
- 5:33Speaker 2: so tightly at that when you know it's not bringing
- 5:36Speaker 2: you no peace, it's not bringing you no comfort, it's
- 5:38Speaker 2: not bringing you no type of joy or no type
- 5:40Speaker 2: of happiness. So I think sometimes it's people, and it
- 5:43Speaker 2: sound crazy when you hear it, because the first thing
- 5:45Speaker 2: you think is like, why would anybody be addicted to
- 5:48Speaker 2: being hurt and wanting to feel sorry for themselves? But
- 5:51Speaker 2: it's a thing, though, That shit is real. It's a thing.
- 5:54Speaker 1: The best thing I can tell you let it go
- 5:56Speaker 1: if it's comeback, is meant for you and relationship aspect.
- 6:01Speaker 1: But when it comes to a job, I feel like
- 6:05Speaker 1: we go to these places at work that give us headaches,
- 6:08Speaker 1: that we cry, we don't want to be here, but
- 6:12Speaker 1: we're here for the check. This ain't the only job
- 6:14Speaker 1: that God put on this earth. So I feel like
- 6:17Speaker 1: if you apply yourself and put yourself out there more,
- 6:20Speaker 1: bet are opportunities to come. Oh man, some people, I
- 6:23Speaker 1: feel like y'all just stuck because y'all been at this
- 6:26Speaker 1: job for so long that y'all feel okay, cool. I'm
- 6:30Speaker 1: gonna just I'm gonna just suck it up and move
- 6:32Speaker 1: through the day just to get that paycheck. When there's
- 6:35Speaker 1: other jobs and opportunities that that's out there for you
- 6:38Speaker 1: that will welcome you in and you'll be in a
- 6:40Speaker 1: way better predictament, way better in this situation. I feel
- 6:44Speaker 1: like a lot of people sometimes feel like they don't
- 6:48Speaker 1: believe in theirself that it is better out there, so
- 6:51Speaker 1: they don't want to let go. So they gonna deal
- 6:53Speaker 1: with the mental health of coming to this place every day.
- 6:56Speaker 1: They're gonna deal with the headaches and the pain coming
- 6:59Speaker 1: to this place every day, the abuse verbally, because I
- 7:03Speaker 1: doubt nobody putting hands on you, but the verbal abuse
- 7:05Speaker 1: of your bosses picking on you and everything else. Like
- 7:10Speaker 1: sometimes you just gotta jump out off the streets, and
- 7:12Speaker 1: you gotta jump off the curve into the streets, and
- 7:16Speaker 1: I mean, just believe in yourself that something gonna come
- 7:19Speaker 1: through for you.
- 7:20Speaker 2: Yeah, this is saying that people say the devil you
- 7:24Speaker 2: know is better than the devil you don't. And I
- 7:26Speaker 2: think that's the mentality that keep people where they're at.
- 7:29Speaker 2: It's like they thinking, like, you know, it's comfort. It's like, Okay,
- 7:32Speaker 2: like this sucks, but I'd rather handle this then get
- 7:37Speaker 2: reintroduced into a new level of pain, a new level
- 7:40Speaker 2: of challenge and struggle, when really it's like that's the
- 7:44Speaker 2: risk that you gotta take for shit to get even better,
- 7:46Speaker 2: you know what I mean? So you like staying in
- 7:48Speaker 2: the carib all day, like metaphorically like you staying in
- 7:50Speaker 2: this one spot because it's like, yeah, it sucks, but
- 7:53Speaker 2: like it could be worse outside. It could be better too,
- 7:57Speaker 2: way better.
- 7:58Speaker 1: You said, no job, ain't gonna fall into your lap.
- 8:01Speaker 2: Shit going, no opportunities, no relationships, no love, no new bread,
- 8:06Speaker 2: they say, scared money, don't make nothing.
- 8:08Speaker 1: No trust me. I jumped out the window plenty of times.
- 8:10Speaker 1: You got to jump out that window. Got a fall
- 8:12Speaker 1: before you start running, you know what I'm saying. Right,
- 8:14Speaker 1: And to even go back to the relationship with you said,
- 8:18Speaker 1: some people don't move on because this is all they know. Yeah,
- 8:21Speaker 1: so how do you know it is not nothing out
- 8:24Speaker 1: there for you if you don't go out there and
- 8:25Speaker 1: to explore to see if there's anything out there for you.
- 8:28Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. You got to go out there, explore.
- 8:30Speaker 2: You got to take a risk. It's all about risk factor.
- 8:33Speaker 2: Like you got to ask yourself, like where am I
- 8:36Speaker 2: and where do I want to be? And like how
- 8:38Speaker 2: do I do I want to continue to live my
- 8:41Speaker 2: life because regrets is the This is the biggest motivation
- 8:44Speaker 2: to me. It is regrets is the biggest motivation. Like
- 8:47Speaker 2: whenever I find myself being stuck somewhere, timid to make
- 8:51Speaker 2: a decision, or just not really operating in my full potential.
- 8:55Speaker 2: The regrets snap me out of my a shit quick
- 8:58Speaker 2: every time.
- 8:58Speaker 1: You know, same thing with me, mm hmm, Like I
- 9:02Speaker 1: don't want to live life thinking oh, I should have
- 9:04Speaker 1: did this right, I should have put my no, I
- 9:06Speaker 1: do it and if the consequences burned me later, than
- 9:08Speaker 1: fuck it. I tried it. What's next. I'm not scared
- 9:12Speaker 1: to jump out the window. I look at it like,
- 9:14Speaker 1: what is I seen? I seen the worst, So what
- 9:17Speaker 1: is I'm scared to jump out the window to try
- 9:19Speaker 1: something else different.
- 9:20Speaker 2: And I'm not scared to lose, like you know, like
- 9:22Speaker 2: you losing.
- 9:23Speaker 1: That's that's the part of winning that Bro.
- 9:25Speaker 2: It's unnegotiable. Even it's like, bro, you cannot grow until
- 9:29Speaker 2: you get your ass whopped a couple of times. It's
- 9:31Speaker 2: an it's unnegotiable, meaning like there's no way around it.
- 9:35Speaker 2: So if you want to, like there's sayings where people say,
- 9:39Speaker 2: if you if there's a man who never took a risk,
- 9:42Speaker 2: then I could show you somebody who never grew or
- 9:44Speaker 2: some ship like that.
- 9:47Speaker 1: Any man that you anybody out here seeing walking that
- 9:50Speaker 1: you feel is winning. Trustfully, they took losses somewhere down
- 9:54Speaker 1: the line, the greats Muhammad Ali, Joe and kolbe Lebron,
- 9:59Speaker 1: they all took losses. Is because they didn't when they
- 10:01Speaker 1: went to that championship the first year they did not win, right,
- 10:05Speaker 1: Muhamma Ali hit that payment, but still we consider him
- 10:09Speaker 1: as the greatest of all times. Right, So it's like,
- 10:12Speaker 1: you gotta take those l's to get that wo.
- 10:15Speaker 2: You got to that's the only way to get through it.
- 10:17Speaker 2: Because the thing about the L is what they say
- 10:20Speaker 2: is not a loss, it's a lesson, a lesson, you
- 10:22Speaker 2: know what I mean? Lessons you like literally getting wisdom
- 10:26Speaker 2: and information through every experience. It's like, instead of looking
- 10:30Speaker 2: at it like a loss, think about it as experience. Bro, Like,
- 10:33Speaker 2: the only way you get what it is, The only
- 10:35Speaker 2: way you get wisdom is you pay for it through experience.
- 10:38Speaker 2: That's the only way you got to purchase it with
- 10:40Speaker 2: either your victory or or your failure. But either way
- 10:44Speaker 2: you learning, you get better and then like next time
- 10:47Speaker 2: you approaching it or who knows, like through your failures,
- 10:50Speaker 2: maybe one day you can give advice to somebody who's
- 10:52Speaker 2: younger than you who don't got none of the experience
- 10:54Speaker 2: you got, and now you can help them avoid so
- 10:56Speaker 2: many of the pitfalls.
- 10:58Speaker 1: I'm living proof of that. I'm living proof of that.
- 11:01Speaker 2: Right.
- 11:02Speaker 1: I took an l getting shot, losing my vision, but
- 11:06Speaker 1: I take them experience. I could talk to the little
- 11:08Speaker 1: homies that's in the hood. I can talk to my
- 11:10Speaker 1: son and my nephews and then, believe it or not,
- 11:13Speaker 1: it's people that's my age around me that I stopped
- 11:17Speaker 1: them from crashing out, Like, bro, it ain't worth it right?
- 11:21Speaker 1: Like you doing all this for what?
- 11:23Speaker 2: Right?
- 11:24Speaker 1: Like I really, like, really sit people down, like yo, brof,
- 11:27Speaker 1: I'm that five seconds that you were just about to
- 11:29Speaker 1: lose it all for. Like, bro, that's twenty five years
- 11:33Speaker 1: of life. Is that worth it?
- 11:35Speaker 2: Right?
- 11:35Speaker 1: And they're like, yo, damn you know, like you're a
- 11:37Speaker 1: real nigga for the simple fact you stop me right
- 11:39Speaker 1: and talk to me another nigga to be like yo,

- 11:50Speaker 1: Like I got I got homies that sit there, and yo, bro,
- 11:54Speaker 1: it ain't worth it, Bro, They ain't tired of walking

- 20:05Speaker 1: fix it?
- 20:05Speaker 2: Yeah? When he can, he when he's consistently showing up
- 20:09Speaker 2: making that decision, you know, because at the end of
- 20:12Speaker 2: the day, the real thing about help and letting go
- 20:14Speaker 2: right is in order for him to let go of
- 20:16Speaker 2: his addiction, he has to get to a point where
- 20:19Speaker 2: he's ready to change. Yeah, And I could, bro, I

- 21:01Speaker 1: they a friend, whether it's family, whether it's a woman.
- 21:05Speaker 1: His family is your biggest downfall too. Absolutely, And just
- 21:08Speaker 1: because you got this word family, you feel like you're
- 21:11Speaker 1: supposed to hold on and help and all that. Nah,

- 21:19Speaker 1: gonna bring me down. Absolutely, no friend, no family, no not.

- 21:26Speaker 1: to believe it because like, oh we family. Sometimes your
- 21:31Speaker 1: friends is better than your family. Your friends want to
- 21:34Speaker 1: want you to win more than your family.
- 21:35Speaker 2: Your friends is your chosen family. Yeah, that's the family

- 21:48Speaker 1: family members that I took baths with, be in a
- 21:51Speaker 1: tub together, rubber ducky, rubber ducky, build clubhouses together. But
- 21:58Speaker 1: growing up, we play, We did so much ship that
- 22:01Speaker 1: we thought this was going to be forever, not knowing
- 22:04Speaker 1: when we at this grown age that it was going
- 22:08Speaker 1: to be a separation with us. That's like we see
- 22:11Speaker 1: each other, when we see each other, that the love, Yeah,

- 22:59Speaker 2: especially in your relationships, whether it's blotonic or romantically, these
- 23:03Speaker 2: are the things that that are that your most in
- 23:05Speaker 2: jeopardy of not succeeding from, you know what I mean,

- 23:49Speaker 1: And even if you feel like it's good for you,
- 23:54Speaker 1: sometimes the best thing is to let it go. Yeah,
- 23:57Speaker 1: let it go, loving from a distance.

- 24:02Speaker 2: letting go, sometimes we need to let go it happens
- 24:05Speaker 2: that's no longer serving us too.
- 24:06Speaker 1: One thousand.
- 24:07Speaker 2: I'm saying, you know what I mean, Like, sometimes you

- 25:44Speaker 1: You can have fun. Yeah, nobody telling you to stop fun,
- 25:47Speaker 1: but just hold your fun to a timespan.
- 25:53Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just what you consider fund just need to change,
- 25:56Speaker 2: that's all.
- 25:57Speaker 1: You don't do every day. It ain't fun every day.
- 26:00Speaker 2: Because you Because when we when our version, bro as Americans,
- 26:04Speaker 2: all of us have been through this to some degree.
- 26:06Speaker 2: But when your version of fun equals to like you
- 26:10Speaker 2: just said, like, I got to stop drinking away in
- 26:11Speaker 2: the same capacity, because then I'm the one who's gonna
- 26:14Speaker 2: suffer from it later, living, not gonna be working. I'm
- 26:17Speaker 2: in a hospital, not free, not.
- 26:19Speaker 1: Free tonight, man, Codas, the doctors, all this ship who
- 26:26Speaker 1: want to be hooked up to tubes, all because of alcohol,

- 26:42Speaker 1: A lot of ship is like, Man, I can live
- 26:44Speaker 1: without it.
- 26:45Speaker 2: I ain't had no liquor in a minute. Man, I've
- 26:47Speaker 2: been sipping the wine. Bro. It's been a nice little
- 26:49Speaker 2: transition they took me.
- 26:50Speaker 1: I need to tap into the wine, the x excelling.
- 26:53Speaker 2: Tap into the wine. Bro, I put you onto some
- 26:55Speaker 2: good wines.
- 26:56Speaker 1: Bro. I need I need, I need that, I need that.
- 26:59Speaker 2: You know what, matter of fact, next time we link,
- 27:01Speaker 2: I'm I'm gonna give you a bottle, bro, I'm gonna
- 27:03Speaker 2: hook you up with something. I'm hook you up with something.
- 27:05Speaker 2: You deserve it.
- 27:07Speaker 1: Appreciate that, Yeah, you deserve another thing. Do you feel
- 27:11Speaker 1: like your past affects your Do you feel like your
- 27:14Speaker 1: past affect your future? And if so, do you feel
- 27:17Speaker 1: you need to go back in your past to fix it?
- 27:21Speaker 2: I mean, how are you gonna do that? How you're
- 27:22Speaker 2: gonna go back in your past?
- 27:25Speaker 1: Like if I say, like if you hurt somebody or.
- 27:30Speaker 2: You like, go back and do that work?
- 27:32Speaker 1: Do you go back to try to fix it? Make
- 27:35Speaker 1: them like maybe forgive to order for that future to go.
- 27:40Speaker 2: Maybe it just depends like if there's if if your
- 27:43Speaker 2: actions from your past is stopping you from having closure
- 27:49Speaker 2: or stopping you from being being comfortable in your body
- 27:51Speaker 2: because maybe you're living with regret and maybe you're living
- 27:54Speaker 2: with shame, you know what I mean, embarrassment, then yeah,
- 27:57Speaker 2: I think it's what's wise because like the unresolved issue
- 28:02Speaker 2: from the past is not allowing you to flourish. And
- 28:04Speaker 2: that's the whole thing. Like you living, like you surviving,
- 28:07Speaker 2: but are you living though? You know what I mean,
- 28:09Speaker 2: you need to stop surviving. I feel the same way.
- 28:12Speaker 2: You gotta stop surviving, surviving not living. It's not that. Yeah,
- 28:15Speaker 2: you're waking up every day, you're blinking, drinking water, taking
- 28:18Speaker 2: the piss, eating food or whatever, but you're not living though.
- 28:22Speaker 1: You know, like, damn, I did this. And if you're
- 28:26Speaker 1: thinking about the ship every day, I feel you need
- 28:28Speaker 1: to go back in your past to fix it. Yeah,
- 28:31Speaker 1: that's the only way you can have clothes here, to
- 28:33Speaker 1: move on with yourself. And even when I talk to
- 28:36Speaker 1: people today and they say I said, bro's nothing that
- 28:39Speaker 1: it's not wrong with just sitting down to having that conversation,
- 28:43Speaker 1: like whether they forgive you or not, you took that
- 28:48Speaker 1: step to fix it. Now move on with your life.
- 28:52Speaker 1: You don't own nobody nothing. You're old. You did that,
- 28:56Speaker 1: you said that apology, I'm sorry, I wasn't myself or
- 29:01Speaker 1: whatever whatever it was, and you move on with it.
- 29:06Speaker 1: But if you feel like your past is not affecting
- 29:13Speaker 1: your future and you can let that shit go and
- 29:17Speaker 1: just move on. Just move on. Sometimes going to your
- 29:20Speaker 1: past can even make it even make it worse. You
- 29:22Speaker 1: don't even need to reopen their wounds. Depending on what
- 29:25Speaker 1: it is, it can hurt to a point it's like,
- 29:28Speaker 1: why would I do this? Let me just move on myself.
- 29:31Speaker 1: How long would you forgive yourself? I feel like you
- 29:35Speaker 1: can move on. A lot of people out here that's
- 29:37Speaker 1: stuck have not forgiven their self. I feel like that's
- 29:41Speaker 1: the first step forgiving yourself.
- 29:43Speaker 2: I was.
- 29:43Speaker 1: I was in that predicament before I did so much
- 29:47Speaker 1: shit after I got shot to people due to the
- 29:51Speaker 1: fact I was like I was abusing the pills, I
- 29:57Speaker 1: was abusing the liquor. I was not myself a point,
- 30:01Speaker 1: I have not forgave myself, but I expected them to
- 30:04Speaker 1: forgive me. But then when I finally forgave myself for
- 30:09Speaker 1: doing all this shit because I know I wasn't in
- 30:11Speaker 1: my right space, in my right mind, then I could
- 30:15Speaker 1: go back and visit the conversation and say and say
- 30:18Speaker 1: I'm sorry, this is what it is. And they was
- 30:20Speaker 1: able to say I forgive you because before they keep
- 30:24Speaker 1: saying it. But it's like I haven't forgive myself, so
- 30:27Speaker 1: what they saying don't mean nothing to me and shit
- 30:29Speaker 1: flying over my head when the whole time the answer
- 30:31Speaker 1: was in me. So it was like, damn, I know
- 30:35Speaker 1: I fucked up. I know I did this, But why
- 30:38Speaker 1: they not forgiving me the way I want them to
- 30:40Speaker 1: forgive me? When the answers were really just in me. Cool,
- 30:44Speaker 1: I apologize to myself. I forgive myself for being coming
- 30:49Speaker 1: out of character. I forgive myself for abusing these drugs,
- 30:52Speaker 1: using these liquors, becoming a monster animal that I would
- 30:55Speaker 1: normally that's not normally me. Right, And once I did that,
- 31:01Speaker 1: I feel like I became a better person. Yeah, those
- 31:04Speaker 1: are opportunities start opening up to me, or you start
- 31:07Speaker 1: handling situations different. Oh yeah, because I've been there and
- 31:11Speaker 1: I learned my lesson to a point. Alright, Cool, I
- 31:14Speaker 1: would let me let me take this route. I know
- 31:18Speaker 1: what I did. I would never like, I would never

- 31:25Speaker 1: from my lesson when I did it back in my past.
- 31:28Speaker 1: So now I handle situations better.
- 31:31Speaker 2: A right, Yeah, that's that's another thing about letting go. Then,
- 31:34Speaker 2: I think that enough people don't talk about It's like
- 31:38Speaker 2: once you let go. You now create space for God
- 31:42Speaker 2: to bring the things that you actually.
- 31:43Speaker 1: Want and to add what you actually need and what.
- 31:46Speaker 2: You actually need. But sometimes you gotta let go, and
- 31:49Speaker 2: it might not be easy because you might have to
- 31:50Speaker 2: let go of somebody that you want to see when
- 31:52Speaker 2: it's like I want it's like you scared you holding
- 31:55Speaker 2: on to that person because deep down inside, you know
- 31:58Speaker 2: you the best thing they got going in there life.

- 32:03Speaker 2: really be nervous because it's like, but damn the who

- 32:17Speaker 1: along she stayed around me. It wouldn't I want to.
- 32:23Speaker 1: I want to grow to where I'm at today because
- 32:26Speaker 1: it's like she made up the excuses for me while
- 32:28Speaker 1: I was acting the way I was acting. She baby me,
- 32:32Speaker 1: she woked on eggshell, she did it all. So it's
- 32:34Speaker 1: like as long as she was, she would keep doing that.
- 32:39Speaker 1: Ship I wouldn't have never been the Sino today. I
- 32:43Speaker 1: STI would have been in that room. I STI would
- 32:45Speaker 1: have been fucked up and making excuses of why I
- 32:47Speaker 1: don't want to do a lot of ship because I'm blind, right,
- 32:52Speaker 1: But once I have that cushion of a person making
- 32:56Speaker 1: up excuses for me, I now, Chrisville, you got to
- 33:01Speaker 1: take your panties over and put your boxes on. At
- 33:04Speaker 1: one point, I was more like I had on panties.
- 33:06Speaker 2: I have the panties on, bro, I had.
- 33:07Speaker 1: The pennies on. I had the Victoria's secrets. Might not
- 33:10Speaker 1: even been a Victoria's secrets. It might have been target
- 33:12Speaker 1: the target, the target, bro, the fruit. I was on
- 33:16Speaker 1: some bullshit. Once I really had to sit down in
- 33:19Speaker 1: my room and think to myself, like I can't keep
- 33:22Speaker 1: putting myself down with being in a dog or putting
- 33:25Speaker 1: myself down from that day, because it's not I could
- 33:27Speaker 1: have did different. It's either lived the life that lived
- 33:31Speaker 1: this life or be behind that jail cell for twenty
- 33:34Speaker 1: five years. And it's like I I didn't pick this choice,
- 33:39Speaker 1: but it turned out good for me. Cool, Let me
- 33:42Speaker 1: put my boxes on, Let me stop feeling sorry for myself,
- 33:44Speaker 1: let me let go this past, let me let go
- 33:47Speaker 1: my past and step into my future. I'm at WTF
- 33:51Speaker 1: every week.
- 33:52Speaker 2: Every week, fire on my nigga, resonating with the people
- 33:57Speaker 2: in a real way.
- 33:58Speaker 1: Man, God and God do things for a reason. I
- 34:01Speaker 1: let go a lot of people to put myself around
- 34:04Speaker 1: good people, like real shit.
- 34:07Speaker 2: Run that one back, bro, Run that one back, just
- 34:09Speaker 2: real quick, run that one back, bro, I had.
- 34:11Speaker 1: I really had to let go. I forgot what the
- 34:14Speaker 1: fuck you even said. I like that, nah, But sometimes you
- 34:20Speaker 1: gotta really let go the people around you and your
- 34:22Speaker 1: past to really see what God really got in front
- 34:24Speaker 1: of you. Sometimes I feel like our past is really
- 34:27Speaker 1: holding us back, that we're not even ready for our
- 34:29Speaker 1: futures yet. And if I felt like if I never
- 34:34Speaker 1: stepped forward to take my faith, I would have never
- 34:37Speaker 1: been on this couch. I would have never ran into
- 34:39Speaker 1: niggas like well, good people, good energy. I would have
- 34:43Speaker 1: never ran into the niggas I do parties with and everything,
- 34:45Speaker 1: because why I would have been still stuck in my past.
- 34:47Speaker 2: Yeah, Bro, people in different circles, you gotta sometimes you
- 34:50Speaker 2: gotta go to them. They're not gonna come to you.
- 34:52Speaker 1: One that what's saying? Yeah you got Sometimes they just
- 34:55Speaker 1: sometimes they just waiting on you. It's just up to
- 34:58Speaker 1: you to get there.
- 34:59Speaker 2: Yeah, real, like it's real.
- 35:02Speaker 1: I know, I never seen a training. You gotta look
- 35:04Speaker 1: at it this. I never seen the train. Sit there
- 35:05Speaker 1: and wait for someone that's really done the stairs. Either
- 35:08Speaker 1: you're gonna be there, you're gonna get left.
- 35:10Speaker 2: Get left. It's not my fault that you're late. It's
- 35:13Speaker 2: not my fault that you didn't value my time enough.
- 35:16Speaker 1: And time is everything.
- 35:17Speaker 2: So then it's like if I if I run late
- 35:20Speaker 2: because you're running late, then I'm late to my blessing
- 35:23Speaker 2: and I might miss out on my opportunity because I'm
- 35:25Speaker 2: trying to look out for you. But how come you're
- 35:26Speaker 2: not looking at me long? How come you're not looking
- 35:29Speaker 2: out for me? Because if you was looking out for me,
- 35:30Speaker 2: you be on time, because you know how important it
- 35:32Speaker 2: is that we get to this destination.
- 35:34Speaker 1: Tom is everything, Thom is precious.
- 35:37Speaker 2: Niggas is cooking.
- 35:38Speaker 1: People sit there and feel like, oh I got enough time,
- 35:41Speaker 1: no time wait for nobody like that. That person that
- 35:46Speaker 1: woke up, well they didn't wait. That person that didn
- 35:49Speaker 1: wake up this morning, they probably thought they had enough
- 35:51Speaker 1: time to do what they had to do yesterday. I
- 35:54Speaker 1: cherish every time every day I opened my eyes, God
- 35:57Speaker 1: blessed me to take over and do something there. Nah.
- 36:02Speaker 1: I went from being on YouTube and TikTok for entertainment.
- 36:06Speaker 1: Now I'm on YouTube and TikTok to learn how can
- 36:08Speaker 1: I take my ship to another level? Like how can
- 36:11Speaker 1: I benefit the people around me? How can I benefit
