  Speaker 2: What God doing, y'all? Huh?
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: What he doing? What he doing in your life? He
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: doing something. He moving. He working. Don't lose your patience, though. See,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: I did that before. Don't lose your patience.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Don't get so sick of waiting that you take matters
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: into your own hands. Don't do that. Boy, you're blowing it.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Listen to me. You're listening to somebody who's done it
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: that way. I had a dream. I had a vision.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: I had some hope. I had some faith. I had
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: some aspirations. But I got a little impatient waiting on it.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: So I tried a couple other things.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Move it along.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: But I can't tell you how I messed it up.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Then I messed it up then because God gave me
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: the power of decision. What I had to do was
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: then after I took matters into my own hand, messed
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: it up. Now, guess what? He still got something for me.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: But now I got to fix all the mistakes. Now
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: I got to straighten them out. I got to I
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: got to suffer some consequences. I got to pay for
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: my transgressions, all of that.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: All of that.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: It's got to go down. You can't do something wrong
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: and not pay for it. You call it karma, call
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: it whatever you want to call it. Every action has
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: an equal and opposite reaction.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Every action.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: If it just stays sunny all the time, you might
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: think it's cool, but there's going to be a reaction
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: to it.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Ain't no dark, ain't no shade, ain't no break, ain't
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: no rain. Going to be hard if it's just sunny
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: all the time. Vice versa.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: So you need you need the opposite. You need the
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: darkness so you can get your break from that sun.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: You need the rain so you can nourish the roots.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: So that sun, it can soak up the sun and
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: get the benefit of the sun. If you don't get
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: the opposite, you got a problem, man. And it happens
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: throughout nature. It happens throughout your life. Don't think that
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: you can do wrong and not have to pay for that.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: What you think this is, man? We think, man, because
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: we made a decision that we think is best for us.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: And no matter how it affect nobody else, we got
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: the right to make that call.

  Speaker 2: because ain't nobody caring about nobody else. Don't nobody care
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: when they see that young dude over there doing wrong.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Look at them fools over there. Man, go over there
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: and talk to one of them. Pull them to the side, man.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: You might not be able to approach the group, but
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: you can approach an individual. Come here, young man. Let
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: me talk to you. I saw you the other day. Man,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: you look like you got something going on in your life.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: What's happening with you? Let me talk to you, man.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Let me share something I learned. I was doing what
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: you was doing. You know, it's like Tommy did a
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: prank phone call one time as a limo driver. And
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: the dude, the prank was he called this limo company
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: to ask this limo driver to take him to this
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: location late at night. And the limo driver got a
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: young business. He going, yeah, OK, I got you. I
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: don't normally work like that. But how long you need?
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: He said for just about an hour. He said, well,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: I'm going to charge you for the full three, though,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: because a three hour minimum. Tommy told him now I
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: just need it for one hour. He said, OK, I'll
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: give you a break. Young man, you're trying to do
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: something where you want to go. He gave an address.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: The man stopped writing. He said, that's a bank. He said, yeah.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: He said, you want to go to the bank at
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: 1230 at night? He said, yeah. And I'm going to
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: be in for a few minutes. And when I come
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: out that bank, I need for you to flow it.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: That to do with the limo. He stopped writing. He said,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: hold on. Hold on, man. You want me to take
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: you to a bank 1230 at night? You're going to
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: be in there for a few minutes and you're going
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: to come out and you want me to floor it.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: He said, sir, I don't do stuff like that. He said,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: you got the wrong company. He said, what made you
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: call here? He said, hey, man, don't worry about that.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: You a limo company. You just drive. He stopped and
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: took the time out. He said, young man, let me
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: tell you something. He said, I've been down before. I've
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: been locked up before. It ain't pretty. He said, that's
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: what's wrong with you young people today. Instead of going
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: to get a job trying to work your way, you
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: always looking for some fast money. He said, I'm going
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: to tell you what I already know. Don't go down
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: there messing with them people's money like that because they
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: love that money way more than they love you. And
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: they're going to do something to you down there. Now,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: you stop this foolishness. And I'm not carrying you nowhere.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: But I'm going to take a little bit of time
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: out to tell you something. Don't go down here messing
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: with these people's money because it ain't going to go good.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: They're going to take care of their business when it
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: comes to that money. Tommy kept insisting to this man
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: to pick him up in the limo. It was a
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: prank phone call. But the point I'm making is the
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: man took our time. He could have just hung the
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: phone up. But you know what he said? He said,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: hold up, young man. Let me hip you to something.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Because the brother had been locked up before. He said, no, no, no. See,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: I've done that when I was young. Now I'm going
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: to stop and I'm going to take some moment out
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: to tell you I'm up here working, man, trying to
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: earn an honest living. I ain't going back down there
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: because I don't. They make you eat what they want
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: you to eat. You don't want the food. You've got
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: to get up when they say get up. You've got
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: to stay where they say stay. Live with who they
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: say live. He said, man, you don't want that. And
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: he just tried to talk the young man out of it.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: You can change a young man's mind with a conversation.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: A conversation can change a young man's mind. Most of
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: these young men that are misguided ain't having conversations with
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: real men.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: They just not having them.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: And it's up to us who know what manhood is,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: is to start delivering the message. The problem that we
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: have in our communities, we can solve ourselves. It didn't
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: escalate it to a point because we who are men
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: won't stop on our corporate climb and our day-to-day making
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: money and trying to ball out. We won't stop and
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: grab some of these young soldiers and tell them the
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: truth about manhood.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: That's the real deal, okay? So I went down to
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: where they came from. You're listening to the Steve Harvey
