- 2:51Speaker 8: That's why I wouldn't for real, That's why I wouldn't
- 2:53Speaker 8: hook up with her, because she was my friend and
- 2:55Speaker 8: I knew once I started.
- 2:57Speaker 2: That is it.
- 2:58Speaker 3: That was it. She wouldn't go in.
- 3:00Speaker 8: I know that once I said I do, I am,
- 3:03Speaker 8: I will, and here I am.
- 3:04Speaker 3: How did you know that? I want brothers to know?
- 3:06Speaker 6: How did you know this is the one I'm gonna
- 3:08Speaker 6: put all my play aways through the side.
- 3:09Speaker 3: That's what I want to be for the rest of it.
- 3:10Speaker 3: She was just different, you know.
- 3:12Speaker 2: She she just wasn't the same.
- 3:14Speaker 8: But she was somebody I could call when I was
- 3:16Speaker 8: in trouble washing I had to wash dishes and stuff.
- 3:18Speaker 8: I call her and talk and watched dishes. What you're doing.
- 3:21Speaker 8: I'm sitting here washing dishes. What you're doing. And so
- 3:24Speaker 8: it was just we would just have that conversation just
- 3:27Speaker 8: about everything, like she knew about She actually knew my baby,
- 3:31Speaker 8: Mam and them before me, so she knew about all
- 3:34Speaker 8: of them, everybody.
- 3:35Speaker 2: So when I decided, okay, let me cut this out.
- 3:38Speaker 8: I started calling, Hey, you may want to come and
- 3:41Speaker 8: get this last little hit because I'm about to get
- 3:43Speaker 8: into something for life.
- 3:44Speaker 2: And boom is it?
- 3:46Speaker 3: Wow? I thought the girl come get one last, gonna
- 3:54Speaker 3: get passed.
- 3:55Speaker 1: That sounds crazy, no, but I just I just.
- 4:01Speaker 2: Knew for real, she just had something different.
- 4:03Speaker 8: And you know, we can say it's different, but you know,
- 4:06Speaker 8: me being a believer, I know it was the anointing
- 4:08Speaker 8: that she had on it that was different. So I couldn't.
- 4:10Speaker 8: I wasn't gonna be able to play her. And then
- 4:13Speaker 8: I knew she was gonna be famous. So I got
- 4:15Speaker 8: her presidant, trapped her.
- 4:16Speaker 5: And you know, you did not know that, you did
- 4:20Speaker 5: not know, but it's really been a wonderful ride.
- 4:22Speaker 9: Y'all.
- 4:23Speaker 5: Marriage can work. I mean, it takes work, but we
- 4:26Speaker 5: really enjoy each other's company and I like him. We
- 4:29Speaker 5: like each other. We're not just in love, but we
- 4:31Speaker 5: really like and love each other and hanging out doing
- 4:34Speaker 5: nothing is fun to us.
- 4:35Speaker 8: And you know that's the problem getting some of the
- 4:38Speaker 8: interviews like this is because you know, we've they've pitched
- 4:41Speaker 8: us to do interviews as a couple.
- 4:43Speaker 3: Has he cheated on it?
- 4:44Speaker 2: Now he's not cheating on it?
- 4:46Speaker 8: Uh?
- 4:46Speaker 2: Does he have something else going on? Anybody something?
- 4:51Speaker 5: Yeah, It's like it's like you can't get interview if
- 4:54Speaker 5: you're doing good. You know, it's like the world thrives
- 4:57Speaker 5: off of the negative. It's like the positive that people
- 5:00Speaker 5: and that it can work and talking about family and
- 5:02Speaker 5: trying to whole family together.
- 5:04Speaker 7: I mean, because you know.
- 5:04Speaker 2: It's just somebody put online the other day. They can't
- 5:07Speaker 2: be that happy. They fake. Yeah, that's fake.
- 5:10Speaker 1: That's people say that all the time. Yeah, we see
- 5:12Speaker 1: they say that all the time. And the reason is
- 5:14Speaker 1: because they're not happy in their life.
- 5:15Speaker 4: So if they can't see how you guys are not happy,
- 5:17Speaker 4: I was gonna ask, so what do you tell young
- 5:18Speaker 4: couples because you said something.
- 5:20Speaker 1: You said, ya, you've been together that and never separation.
- 5:23Speaker 3: Right.
- 5:23Speaker 4: Me and my wife we've been married twenty three years,
- 5:26Speaker 4: been together thirty one, no separations, right. We work through everything, good, bad, ugly, whatever.
- 5:31Speaker 4: So what do you tell young couples.
- 5:33Speaker 5: We took the voice off the couple. We took the
- 5:35Speaker 5: voice off the table. And the thing is is to
- 5:38Speaker 5: sometimes you gotta just separate in for instance, in the house,
- 5:41Speaker 5: to just gather your thoughts versus like throwing venom, like
- 5:45Speaker 5: at the heat of the moment. Sometimes you just have
- 5:47Speaker 5: to back up, Okay, just take a minute and digest
- 5:50Speaker 5: what's happening versus so you won't say pierce I say
- 5:53Speaker 5: piercing things. I've been saying that since the beginning, because
- 5:56Speaker 5: you can say stuff when you're angry, and then you
- 5:59Speaker 5: can't you can't take that words back because no matter
- 6:02Speaker 5: if somebody say, I'm sorry and I forgive you, but
- 6:04Speaker 5: in the back of.
- 6:05Speaker 8: Your head you say you never try to resolve issues
- 6:08Speaker 8: in the middle of a battle. I mean, you just
- 6:11Speaker 8: let it calm down a little period, just cool it
- 6:13Speaker 8: off a little bit. When you're trying to resolve stuff
- 6:15Speaker 8: in the middle of war, it gets a little hard
- 6:18Speaker 8: because you know early on, like she say just I'm
- 6:21Speaker 8: quick with quickly in my mouth quickly, so I would
- 6:24Speaker 8: just say piercing stuff. And I just started to see
- 6:26Speaker 8: how man, this is devastating this woman.
- 6:28Speaker 2: It's crushing her. So you know, I just started building
- 6:31Speaker 2: her up.
- 6:32Speaker 3: What's the worst.
- 6:32Speaker 4: Battle that you guys got into that You remember that
- 6:34Speaker 4: it was just nasty and you was going at her neck.
- 6:37Speaker 1: She was going at your neck.
- 6:38Speaker 2: Okay.
- 6:39Speaker 8: So like we talk, the knock at the door, the
- 6:44Speaker 8: knock at the door, knock at the door.
- 6:48Speaker 2: Imagine this.
- 6:49Speaker 8: Imagine she's at work, you at the house, and the
- 6:52Speaker 8: constable knock on the door and say, hey, here you go.
- 6:54Speaker 3: Hear the papers, you've been served.
- 6:55Speaker 2: You've been served?

- 7:02Speaker 2: And so she comes home and it's like, hey, how
- 7:04Speaker 2: your day being? I'm good?
- 7:05Speaker 1: That's how long y'all were married at this time?
- 7:07Speaker 8: Married five years by this time, So before I got married,
- 7:10Speaker 8: when them last to come by, the last.

- 7:24Speaker 2: I got us another baby.
- 7:25Speaker 3: That's how you said it.
- 7:26Speaker 2: No, I didn't.
- 7:32Speaker 7: Took you some time, take him some time to get
- 7:35Speaker 7: it out.
- 7:36Speaker 8: I rehearsed it because on the way home, Oka, I'm
- 7:37Speaker 8: gonna tell her like this, so you know, you remember, No,
- 7:40Speaker 8: I can't say it that way.
- 7:41Speaker 2: So you know the time and I I just tried to.
- 7:45Speaker 8: I had to come and say, dear, you know I
- 7:48Speaker 8: might have a child, uh that you know that I had.
- 7:52Speaker 7: And the thing is is he he had to.
- 7:55Speaker 5: He had to, he said from a previous argument. That's
- 7:58Speaker 5: what he calls it.
- 7:59Speaker 7: So but they, you know, two.
- 8:01Speaker 2: Different lady daughters.
- 8:04Speaker 7: So it's like I told him iself.
- 8:06Speaker 5: Okay, Now I accepted the one because I was there
- 8:09Speaker 5: when she was born, because.
- 8:09Speaker 2: We was she was at the hospital.
- 8:11Speaker 5: I went to the hospital when when she was born.
- 8:13Speaker 5: The whole twenty one hours, y'all sit there. But as
- 8:18Speaker 5: he came and said this to me about the other
- 8:20Speaker 5: young lady, which I knew about the other young lady,
- 8:22Speaker 5: and I knew that they had been intimate. I knew
- 8:24Speaker 5: they had a thing going and all of that. But
- 8:26Speaker 5: for how it was presented, it's like it was just
- 8:30Speaker 5: it was rough for me to take. You know, I
- 8:32Speaker 5: was like, I don't know because the chick, you know,
- 8:35Speaker 5: God bless her. We're in a better place now. But
- 8:36Speaker 5: then she was rough to deal with.
- 8:38Speaker 3: Right hand on them.
- 8:40Speaker 5: I didn't putting the Holy hands on you. I just
- 8:42Speaker 5: had We had words, but not even to what. They
- 8:44Speaker 5: don't do that. I don't think they aired his stuff.
- 8:49Speaker 7: Don't put me out there like that. Somebody makes them
- 8:51Speaker 7: try me what I am? But I'm licensed? How about that?
- 8:57Speaker 3: Holy bullets?
- 8:58Speaker 1: So how did you get how did you get through it?
- 9:00Speaker 7: But I just you know what. We talked about it,
- 9:02Speaker 7: and David really pulled me before.
- 9:05Speaker 2: We got that. It got really bad because she was
- 9:07Speaker 2: like I can't deal with this. I'm out. And I
- 9:09Speaker 2: shared with her like, look, it's me and you against everything.
- 9:13Speaker 7: That's the breakdown he gave you.
- 9:15Speaker 8: It's me and you against everything else. Because I know
- 9:18Speaker 8: that this is a hard situation to swallow. I know
- 9:20Speaker 8: I put us in a bad situation. I tell my
- 9:23Speaker 8: kids now, I say, look, I put you in a
- 9:25Speaker 8: bad situation because now you got to go.
- 9:28Speaker 2: Over to your mom's house for Christmas. Okay, I'm going
- 9:30Speaker 2: to have Thanksgiving.
- 9:31Speaker 8: I say, that's a hard place to put kids, and
- 9:33Speaker 8: I say, I take full responsibility. I mean, my two
- 9:37Speaker 8: old daughter's best thing ever happened. You see them now.
- 9:40Speaker 8: I went to get the blood tests. You know how
- 9:42Speaker 8: you going to do the test? And I was gonna
- 9:45Speaker 8: go in and do a test.
- 9:46Speaker 2: And you know, the first ain't baby, probably ain't mine.
- 9:49Speaker 2: That baby ain't mine.
- 9:50Speaker 8: So by now she's five and I walk in the
- 9:52Speaker 8: place and I look down at this little face.
- 9:56Speaker 2: We ain't got to take No, her face is exactly
- 10:00Speaker 2: like mine.
- 10:01Speaker 8: I was like, no, I say, dear, we gotta just
- 10:05Speaker 8: what she said to you. You're gonna give me.
- 10:08Speaker 3: You're gonna give me that check. My god.
- 10:13Speaker 2: But it was, it was.
- 10:16Speaker 8: It was both of us as parents that put that
- 10:18Speaker 8: kid in that bad situation, and our relationship, my relationship
- 10:21Speaker 8: with with her is like man, I just.
- 10:25Speaker 2: Love both of them.
- 10:25Speaker 4: It's no clue to the knock of the door, Like right,
- 10:28Speaker 4: I mean, you know there was murmurs, you know it was,
- 10:31Speaker 4: but I wasn't sure.
- 10:32Speaker 2: Of course, I wasn't gonna volunteer yet, like bring another
- 10:34Speaker 2: one on, But.
- 10:37Speaker 7: At the door.
- 10:38Speaker 10: I then not at the door never happened. You would
- 10:40Speaker 10: have just like the murmurs would have been there like
- 10:42Speaker 10: you never wanted to know.
- 10:44Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 10:45Speaker 8: I don't know if I was even mature enough to
- 10:46Speaker 8: say yes on that. Yeah, that's the whole deal, is.
- 10:49Speaker 5: Matrenest is like if you didn't because like I said,
- 10:52Speaker 5: we knew that that da had been involved, It's like,
- 10:54Speaker 5: but it's a possibility.
- 10:55Speaker 7: And you saw the baby.
- 10:57Speaker 5: But to me, she looked like him and she looked
- 10:59Speaker 5: like her, so it's like she was a great mixture
- 11:01Speaker 5: of the two. But when David told me the resolve
- 11:04Speaker 5: for me, dj and was that it's he did the
- 11:08Speaker 5: spark thing.
- 11:09Speaker 7: He said, it's us, and then it's them.
- 11:11Speaker 5: It's everybody, he said, So you never have to worry
- 11:13Speaker 5: about me choosing you over them because it's us first
- 11:17Speaker 5: and in them.
- 11:18Speaker 7: So that gave me a reassurance and reship.
- 11:22Speaker 5: I wouldn't have to be fighting to just have a
- 11:25Speaker 5: to have my place because I knew that I had
- 11:27Speaker 5: the papers. But still, you don't want to be warrying
- 11:29Speaker 5: with someone else over just stuff that's even outside of
- 11:33Speaker 5: your home.
- 11:33Speaker 4: How did you block out the noise right? Because I'm
- 11:35Speaker 4: sure you had friends and girlfriends leave him.
- 11:37Speaker 5: He's this that, and but it written no one, no
- 11:39Speaker 5: one really honestly did come to me like that. Because
- 11:43Speaker 5: the thing is is we were in a small community.
- 11:45Speaker 5: A lot of us we were yeah, we were church kids.
- 11:47Speaker 5: We was in church singing and all this kind of stuff.
- 11:50Speaker 5: So all of us did know each other and knew
- 11:52Speaker 5: that they had been what they did, you know, doing what.
- 11:56Speaker 7: You did, you know, being involved.
- 11:58Speaker 5: So yeah, so but if people didn't really they knew
- 12:04Speaker 5: me as a person and they knew her as a person.
- 12:06Speaker 7: So it's like she had her reputation. I had mine.
- 12:09Speaker 5: And it's like, no one really never stepped to me
- 12:12Speaker 5: and said anything crazy like that, but they was willing
- 12:15Speaker 5: to defend me.
- 12:16Speaker 2: Now.
- 12:17Speaker 8: Mind you, when we wrote this book and I put
- 12:19Speaker 8: the chapter the Knock at the Door at it, girl,
- 12:22Speaker 8: he was cheating on you all the time.
- 12:23Speaker 2: It's like, do the math read the book. Just go
- 12:26Speaker 2: read the book. You know, girl, I knew he was cheating.
- 12:29Speaker 2: It's like you just got to read and just follow it.
- 12:32Speaker 5: But that's how we living, and we breathing and we
- 12:35Speaker 5: fight through all the things. You know, thirty six years later,
- 12:39Speaker 5: we're still building, We're still living because we just believe
- 12:42Speaker 5: that heaven is our destiny. You know, we're breathing every
- 12:45Speaker 5: breath with purpose. We believe that we have a call,
- 12:47Speaker 5: we have a purpose to do what we do, even
- 12:50Speaker 5: to inspire people that follow us in relationships. I mean,
- 12:54Speaker 5: this is like you said that everybody wanting us to
- 12:56Speaker 5: do this together. Lord, they do and they expect to
- 12:58Speaker 5: see us. It's like when you see one, it's like,
- 13:00Speaker 5: okay with yours man, you're out here by yourself.
- 13:02Speaker 7: No, he's here. It's like he just stepped.
- 13:04Speaker 2: They trust me.
- 13:05Speaker 8: I've been trying to lay in the cut while we've
- 13:06Speaker 8: been doing this promo tour and the same thank you.
- 13:09Speaker 7: We fighting together. We're doing this together.
- 13:11Speaker 3: I mean, I don't see y'all a part. Y'all are
- 13:13Speaker 3: really tagged team back again.
- 13:14Speaker 10: Every it was complete when y'all are together.
- 13:19Speaker 5: And if and that's that's the I love the completion
- 13:22Speaker 5: of it because he completes me. And my prayer is like, Lord,
- 13:25Speaker 5: please give us more time, give us more time together.
- 13:28Speaker 5: And it's like it's like I don't know if I
- 13:29Speaker 5: can do life without without him, without.
- 13:32Speaker 7: God with beautiful.
- 13:33Speaker 5: But it's the truth though, because it's like it is
- 13:37Speaker 5: really a completion. David pushed me into this. I mean,
- 13:40Speaker 5: he helped me to get to this point as an artist.
- 13:43Speaker 5: He helped developed me as an artist. And it's like
- 13:46Speaker 5: even when even when it comes to like interviews, y'all,
- 13:48Speaker 5: this man with us being the same age, but he's
- 13:51Speaker 5: walked me through life, it makes me almost in tears
- 13:54Speaker 5: right now because it's like, I'm really grateful, I'm really grateful,
- 13:57Speaker 5: I'm thankful for you, and I really just having the
- 14:03Speaker 5: opportunity no to even to be you know, to be
- 14:06Speaker 5: transparent and even show people our lives.
- 14:09Speaker 7: It's not a joke.
- 14:10Speaker 5: It's it's really serious that he is my friend and
- 14:12Speaker 5: we really have a good time together, but we don't
- 14:15Speaker 5: base it off of the things. And a lot of times,
- 14:18Speaker 5: I think in our life, especially in our culture, we
- 14:20Speaker 5: build things like it has to be about the gifts
- 14:22Speaker 5: and what we're doing with each other and what we're
- 14:24Speaker 5: going and what we drive, and it is.
- 14:28Speaker 2: On the caps together broke. That was an understatement. We
- 14:32Speaker 2: were broken and broken.
- 14:33Speaker 4: And I think that's what's missing a lot of times,
- 14:35Speaker 4: like even when I look at my wife or Charlamane.
- 14:37Speaker 1: Looks at his wife. We came up from the bottom.
- 14:40Speaker 1: We didn't have anything.
- 14:40Speaker 4: It was just love. It wasn't about a check. It
- 14:42Speaker 4: wasn't about expensive to us with red Lobster like.
- 14:56Speaker 5: Too scared, too scared. It was around it, but it
- 14:58Speaker 5: was too scared to do that.
- 15:00Speaker 6: That got you all to get into shape because you said,
- 15:01Speaker 6: you know, you wanted to live like you wanted more times.
- 15:03Speaker 3: That would mean I said, you know what, getting I.
- 15:05Speaker 8: Had whole diabetes scare and all this stuff, and were
- 15:08Speaker 8: just like, man, we gotta do something.
- 15:10Speaker 2: I can't leave it here byself.
- 15:12Speaker 8: It's just too much going on, just seeing the craziness
- 15:14Speaker 8: and I'm just like, I can't leave it here byself.
- 15:17Speaker 2: I got to get myself together.
- 15:18Speaker 3: And so that's what we're doing.
- 15:19Speaker 2: We just a work in progress.
- 15:21Speaker 3: You know, this is a good man. Thank you.
- 15:23Speaker 7: Working from the inside out.
- 15:25Speaker 5: I think the importance of it is like this record
- 15:28Speaker 5: and doing it is like mentally working, coming from a
- 15:31Speaker 5: mental space, coming from building a body, doing differently, making
- 15:34Speaker 5: better decisions for the body. And that thing is like,
- 15:37Speaker 5: so we can be here longer together.
- 15:39Speaker 8: And I was telling you off air, thank you so
- 15:42Speaker 8: much for what you're doing in this mental health space.
- 15:44Speaker 8: It means a lot to me as a black man
- 15:46Speaker 8: and somebody who's expected to make the world feel good.
- 15:50Speaker 2: And I was like I shared it.
- 15:51Speaker 8: I was embarrassed to come out with my story of
- 15:54Speaker 8: depression and making it and to hear stories like you
- 15:58Speaker 8: yours and you're talking just putting it in the forefront.
- 16:01Speaker 8: It makes people like me say good, I can share
- 16:04Speaker 8: mine without being embarrassed because I was embarrassed.
- 16:06Speaker 2: Really, I mean, like.
- 16:08Speaker 5: But why embarrassment though, because people astract me.
- 16:11Speaker 8: Every time to come out and perform funny funny. You
- 16:15Speaker 8: gotta be you, mister Brown. You make the world laugh.
- 16:18Speaker 8: Like you said, I grew up. I'm a family like okay,
- 16:21Speaker 8: So people expect that, and so they don't know in
- 16:24Speaker 8: the background you dying literally dying and drowning. And so
- 16:28Speaker 8: when people like you come out and you know, make
- 16:31Speaker 8: it known, Hey, it's cool. I have a therapist and
- 16:34Speaker 8: I have Jesus and so you know.
- 16:36Speaker 5: I just all of your lives, what y'all give. I
- 16:39Speaker 5: think it's important that all of us bring what we
- 16:41Speaker 5: bring to the table. I feel like this pie is
- 16:43Speaker 5: big enough for all of us to have a piece
- 16:45Speaker 5: to share it. We can help somebody, I mean, one
- 16:48Speaker 5: of our messages how to get to somebody. I mean,
- 16:50Speaker 5: my god, I mean it's like with the platforms that
- 16:53Speaker 5: we have. We should be able to help encourage somebody
- 16:58Speaker 5: from any walk of life. I just feel like we're
- 17:00Speaker 5: sent here, not just for us. We're sitting here to
- 17:03Speaker 5: help all Walkum. This album is to live, breathing, and
- 17:07Speaker 5: fight even though you're facing the things you're facing.
- 17:10Speaker 7: The songs excuse me.
- 17:11Speaker 5: Excuse me on here talking about carry on even though
- 17:14Speaker 5: that you've dealt with mental health or different different things
- 17:17Speaker 5: in your family, or whatever your issues may be. We
- 17:19Speaker 5: have to carry on. We deserve to win after you've
- 17:22Speaker 5: done and been through the miss and the upbringers that
- 17:25Speaker 5: we've came out of. We deserve to win. You deserve
- 17:28Speaker 5: to have some nice things. You deserve to have a
- 17:30Speaker 5: smile on your face to be you.
- 17:32Speaker 2: Find somebody I've been watching.
- 17:38Speaker 11: She don't pray about it, don't know.
- 17:46Speaker 1: She was kind of like you early on.
- 17:48Speaker 3: She was a player.
- 17:53Speaker 1: To what she's been doing radio.
- 18:00Speaker 5: You know, I did not start out player player.
- 18:02Speaker 2: I wouldn't be. You messed up. You said I didn't
- 18:04Speaker 2: start out playing.
- 18:05Speaker 5: I didn't.
- 18:06Speaker 7: I mean once you. I wasn't a player. I was
- 18:09Speaker 7: I'm sinking meeting people, you know, And.
- 18:12Speaker 4: Now she kicks the same game to the same guys,
- 18:16Speaker 4: and they figured it out to the fact that two
- 18:18Speaker 4: gentlemen said, you need to fix yourself.
- 18:20Speaker 1: You need to get there.
- 18:22Speaker 3: He first of all two men told us you need
- 18:24Speaker 3: to heal him, and one.
- 18:26Speaker 10: Of them on lasted till Sunday after homecoming because you
- 18:29Speaker 10: needed to hear no, because he don't get me started.
- 18:31Speaker 10: But a lot of it be deflecting and capt the language.
- 18:35Speaker 3: She knew she'd be calling these guys things like eaters.
- 18:37Speaker 3: Y'all know about that.
- 18:41Speaker 2: My best eater, not.
- 18:49Speaker 1: Say that.
- 18:50Speaker 3: I don't say that in the phone eat up to
- 18:54Speaker 3: best eating.
- 18:55Speaker 7: That is not true. I would, but I think we
- 18:58Speaker 7: should come down to but when.
- 19:02Speaker 5: But when you're looking at being found, I think we
- 19:07Speaker 5: have to make a list of what we're wanting in
- 19:11Speaker 5: a relationship, and then you become the list. So we
- 19:16Speaker 5: become the list. And just like one of the songs
- 19:19Speaker 5: is called big Facts, that's on this My Fun song.
- 19:21Speaker 5: But it's like looking in the mirror, examining yourself, fixing yourself.
- 19:25Speaker 5: So when he finds you you're ready, it's like you're
- 19:28Speaker 5: making ready. It's not like you just said he finds
- 19:31Speaker 5: a good thing. You find favor. We bring the favor.
- 19:34Speaker 5: Women don't realize that when you a man, a man
- 19:36Speaker 5: finds you and connects with you, you are the favor to
- 19:39Speaker 5: the relationship, and favor goes way beyond money. So it's
- 19:44Speaker 5: like you want to be It's like I don't understand it,
- 19:47Speaker 5: but it's like I found these things out later in
- 19:50Speaker 5: life that I have value, that I have, I have
- 19:52Speaker 5: a purpose. And again a call.
- 19:55Speaker 10: But first of all, don't say, Lauren need it because
- 20:00Speaker 10: a lot of okay, they don't understand it.
- 20:05Speaker 7: No, no, no, no, no, I don't receive man.
- 20:08Speaker 6: She takes a man of scripture Proverbs eighteen twenty one
- 20:10Speaker 6: talk about a life and different the power of the tongue.
- 20:13Speaker 7: What is true?
- 20:14Speaker 3: I did not send that. Did you say that?
- 20:21Speaker 10: I wouldn't because why would y'all play in front of
- 20:27Speaker 10: guy face like that. Okay, I would never say in
- 20:29Speaker 10: a proverb talk about my best eater, my pastor would
- 20:32Speaker 10: have your.
- 20:33Speaker 7: Tongue help me, Lord help?
- 20:36Speaker 2: That was too easy of a joke. She's just like, yeah,
- 20:40Speaker 2: I don't.
- 20:40Speaker 5: Know what you're doing, but don't but don't take that,
- 20:44Speaker 5: will you just know what you want and it's okay
- 20:47Speaker 5: to have standards.
- 20:49Speaker 10: And but you said that you've realized later in life
- 20:51Speaker 10: about your value. It forgets, but it takes time for
- 20:54Speaker 10: you to get to a certain point where you feel like, Okay,
- 20:56Speaker 10: now I'm ready to enter back into things. I just
- 20:59Speaker 10: feel like some men and don't understand where you're taking
- 21:01Speaker 10: that time that that doesn't mean that you're lonely or
- 21:03Speaker 10: without it's just you know, you need that time.
- 21:05Speaker 7: I stepped away from something.
- 21:06Speaker 5: See that's when y'all say for her taking her time
- 21:09Speaker 5: for that's the healing process, right. So she is in
- 21:12Speaker 5: the process of being here, so y'all just have to
- 21:16Speaker 5: it's her way.
- 21:19Speaker 10: Honestly, I got be with the whole.
- 21:30Speaker 7: Sorry for them, that's okay. I brought y'all into this,
- 21:33Speaker 7: and I did not know as long as you know.
- 21:37Speaker 7: I know, and I know these guys. Y'all stop teasing her.
- 21:41Speaker 2: Are you going to come here and try to mom
- 21:42Speaker 2: or somebody?
- 21:42Speaker 7: Because I'm just old. I'm just I'm the oldest in here.
- 21:46Speaker 10: I did take time before I started dating. I took
- 21:49Speaker 10: I took a lot of time because it was a
- 21:51Speaker 10: long relationship that I was in and then I got
- 21:53Speaker 10: side and now here come these two.
- 21:55Speaker 3: But I see God working on.
- 22:00Speaker 5: One of my titles hands around. But I have a
- 22:10Speaker 5: song on this called Power talking about the Power God.
- 22:12Speaker 5: You should listen to it. It's a good one. The
- 22:15Speaker 5: Power is really just talking about how just how the
- 22:19Speaker 5: Lord just maneuvers and how his power just happens over things,
- 22:24Speaker 5: and just how he just holds us. I mean, it's
- 22:27Speaker 5: just amazing how God just really protects us when we
- 22:29Speaker 5: don't know that we being protected. We think we out
- 22:32Speaker 5: here doing it ourselves, but the Lord is really shielding us.
- 22:34Speaker 5: So it's just it's just really a blessing to be
- 22:37Speaker 5: able to bring good you know. My hope is that
- 22:40Speaker 5: it's good music and people can be healed and have
- 22:43Speaker 5: inspiration from it.
- 22:44Speaker 6: I was going to ask about Lord, I trust you
- 22:45Speaker 6: right because you know to what you're speaking about now.
- 22:47Speaker 6: You say, when the sun's not shining down on me,
- 22:49Speaker 6: when the chaost is overwhelming, my peace for my life
- 22:51Speaker 6: is spending out of control.
- 22:52Speaker 3: When I lose my grip and I start to let go, Lord,
- 22:54Speaker 3: I trust you.
- 22:55Speaker 6: How hard is it to put your trust in God
- 22:58Speaker 6: when things aren't going well?
- 23:01Speaker 5: It could be hard to me. That's when I have
- 23:04Speaker 5: a real good cry. I just get in my I
- 23:07Speaker 5: get in my car a lot because my car to
- 23:09Speaker 5: me is like I can get.
- 23:10Speaker 7: Away from everything and I don't have to hear anything.
- 23:12Speaker 5: It's like that. But in my closet it's like a
- 23:14Speaker 5: prayer closet, and in my car, but it's like because God,
- 23:18Speaker 5: it's like I don't understand what's happening right now, this
- 23:20Speaker 5: last year and half of things and things coming to me,
- 23:24Speaker 5: like I can't believe that I'm in this situation. I
- 23:26Speaker 5: can't believe that I'm having a fight just.
- 23:29Speaker 7: To prove who I am. And I thought I.
- 23:32Speaker 5: Was doing that, but it's like, Okay, Lord, I trust you.
- 23:36Speaker 5: I trust that you're gonna handle it. And then that's
- 23:39Speaker 5: when the song too came for me working for me,
- 23:42Speaker 5: that the Lord just gave me a stamp of approval.
- 23:45Speaker 5: You may not see me at work, but I'm working
- 23:47Speaker 5: in your behalf, that he's working for me, bless you.
- 23:50Speaker 7: So it's just I just take.
- 23:52Speaker 5: Comfort in knowing that he is my God and he
- 23:55Speaker 5: is my help. He's my present help in the time
- 23:57Speaker 5: of storm, that even when I don't see and nobody
- 24:00Speaker 5: else is around, he's there and I can go to
- 24:02Speaker 5: him and I ain't got to worry about him.
- 24:03Speaker 7: My business being in the Street.
- 24:05Speaker 6: That's why testimony is so important though, right, because I
- 24:08Speaker 6: like to hear other people's stories and what they've been
- 24:10Speaker 6: through and what.
- 24:11Speaker 5: They overcoming of it, overcoming the overcoming. Sure was overcomer,
- 24:16Speaker 5: and that's the thing is. And the Lord has allowed
- 24:18Speaker 5: me to finish the work, even to the extent of
- 24:21Speaker 5: even with my body. I finally found I reached the
- 24:24Speaker 5: goal of like even the weight loss that I was
- 24:27Speaker 5: trying to do so, but to even spiritually become a writer,
- 24:32Speaker 5: like I wrote on this, Like I gave direction on
- 24:34Speaker 5: every song on this album. So it's like things that
- 24:37Speaker 5: I'm proving to myself and showing, Like Lord, you know,
- 24:41Speaker 5: I wrote the plan down and I'm following through with
- 24:43Speaker 5: the plan.
- 24:45Speaker 3: Working for me.
- 24:45Speaker 6: That was your eleventh number one, right, Yes, you've watched
- 24:48Speaker 6: the record of all time numbers.
- 24:50Speaker 2: Wow, and Kirk, we're tired.
- 24:54Speaker 3: We're tired for number one.
- 24:56Speaker 5: But I didn't. I mean, you don't see this stuff coming.
- 24:59Speaker 5: You hope people gon like the music and enjoy it.
- 25:02Speaker 5: But it's like when it happened, I don't even look
- 25:05Speaker 5: at the charge y'all.
- 25:05Speaker 3: They have.
- 25:06Speaker 10: They tell me, working for me, you lean into the
- 25:09Speaker 10: country music. Yeah, so I know and I know Kirk
- 25:12Speaker 10: Franklin is known for dibblin dabling different beats and sounds
- 25:14Speaker 10: and stuff like that. Have you thought about, like what
- 25:17Speaker 10: you know it would be like for you to do
- 25:19Speaker 10: other stars, of bringing other stars like the R and
- 25:20Speaker 10: B or like anything secular but making it gospel kind
- 25:23Speaker 10: of how he does a bit.
- 25:24Speaker 5: But I kind of have some balanced this close to
- 25:28Speaker 5: I would say maybe R and B.
- 25:31Speaker 7: I've had a little.
- 25:35Speaker 5: If we did do a love project Us against the
- 25:38Speaker 5: World that I did, Like I have a song that
- 25:40Speaker 5: Kyle feels I sing a song is Carl feel like
- 25:43Speaker 5: it's really a straight R and B song. We didn't
- 25:46Speaker 5: push it, but I think it would have really did well.
- 25:49Speaker 5: But I just still want people to think that I
- 25:51Speaker 5: was trying to do R and B music, that I
- 25:53Speaker 5: still want to stay in my genre because I feel like, again,
- 25:56Speaker 5: like I said earlier, we all have a part of
- 25:59Speaker 5: part to play.
- 26:00Speaker 8: And really she was afraid of what people I did.
- 26:04Speaker 7: I was. I was.
- 26:05Speaker 5: I was very fearful and it was like I was
- 26:08Speaker 5: fighting them, but I was dragging my feet. It's like
- 26:12Speaker 5: I feel like if I can hear whatever, I could
- 26:14Speaker 5: sing whatever. You know, like when you say the country music.
- 26:17Speaker 5: It's like I'm country, y'all. Y'all hear in my just
- 26:20Speaker 5: how I talk. But I know about the chickens and
- 26:22Speaker 5: the hogs.
- 26:23Speaker 3: You know.
- 26:23Speaker 5: I was raised actually in the country, so it's like
- 26:26Speaker 5: those things to me. It's like I've been stretched and
- 26:30Speaker 5: people just don't. I think once you hear a lot
- 26:33Speaker 5: of times we only listen to people's single that they
- 26:36Speaker 5: have at but we really don't go listen to the
- 26:38Speaker 5: body of And.
- 26:40Speaker 8: Even with the Love Project we did, she was afraid,
- 26:44Speaker 8: like of what people were gonna think. I'm in the studio,
- 26:47Speaker 8: I got my chest hairs and I got much sunshape.
- 26:49Speaker 2: I'm doing my best R and.
- 26:51Speaker 7: B what I mean, let the lights damn.
- 26:56Speaker 3: I was yeah, she.
- 26:59Speaker 2: Was like, just I said, that is not how you sing.
- 27:02Speaker 8: But then I realized she was afraid of what the
- 27:05Speaker 8: church crowd was gonna, you know, think of her.
- 27:08Speaker 5: But once I thought about it, It's like I'm singing
- 27:10Speaker 5: to the love of my life.
- 27:11Speaker 7: I'm singing to him. I'm not singing for y'all per se.
- 27:15Speaker 5: I mean, thank God for everybody, but I was singing
- 27:17Speaker 5: to him and the song is you make me feel
- 27:20Speaker 5: like I'm on top of the world and.
- 27:21Speaker 7: When it's the truth, he does.
- 27:23Speaker 5: So it's like when you hear this song, it's like
- 27:26Speaker 5: it just brings it all to life of like me
- 27:30Speaker 5: talking straight to him or him, you know, feeling like
- 27:33Speaker 5: when he touched me. It's just it's just he still
- 27:35Speaker 5: he's still give me goosebumps.
- 27:37Speaker 7: So it's like.
- 27:38Speaker 5: They don't do that because you don't do that.
- 27:41Speaker 3: Don't do that right now, y'all married? Why can't you
- 27:44Speaker 3: married people have that.
- 27:45Speaker 5: It's true, but it's just a society that we live in.
- 27:48Speaker 5: It's like our people, we can't be judgmental. We could
- 27:51Speaker 5: be the most loving, but we also can be the
- 27:53Speaker 5: most judgmental when it comes to Christian people.
- 27:55Speaker 3: I don't understand that about Christianity. I'm not gonna one
- 28:00Speaker 3: of the first things they teach you.
- 28:02Speaker 2: And I love being on this side, but I don't
- 28:04Speaker 2: know why we are like that.
- 28:06Speaker 5: But it's it just it does have to be a separation, no, y'all,
- 28:10Speaker 5: it has It's just you know, there, this just has
- 28:13Speaker 5: to be. I wouldn't come and look for you to
- 28:18Speaker 5: do certain things, just like you probably wouldn't expect for
- 28:22Speaker 5: me to do certain things. And it's not judgmental. You
- 28:24Speaker 5: just it's just like what you represented. You just that's
- 28:27Speaker 5: just kind of like like with your parents. Just like
- 28:29Speaker 5: sometimes even some like our kids like to talk about six.
- 28:33Speaker 5: They don't want us to talk about six. So it's like,
- 28:37Speaker 5: but it's just like people were doing. People don't want
- 28:40Speaker 5: to hear certain things from certain people. So it's not
- 28:43Speaker 5: I don't think all of it is. I would say judging.
- 28:46Speaker 7: It's just you just what would Jesus do?
- 28:50Speaker 5: Could you see him just pull back on one get out?
- 28:59Speaker 5: Burning brush was to bring a message, did you say?
- 29:06Speaker 1: Again?
- 29:06Speaker 2: His father created burning.
- 29:09Speaker 5: Bush was not for you to him smoking. No, the
- 29:11Speaker 5: bush was being burnt to show as a sacrifice.
- 29:16Speaker 10: Sacrifice in the bush that I'm talking about.
- 29:17Speaker 7: No, not they cookn't green.
- 29:20Speaker 3: God creates everything for a purpose. God created marijuana.
- 29:23Speaker 6: He did.
- 29:23Speaker 7: But but it wasn't for us to just to be
- 29:25Speaker 7: like joy healing. It's healing. It's for healing. It's not
- 29:32Speaker 7: for us to just be like I'm gonna get get
- 29:35Speaker 7: one and I'm just in my class because I got people.
- 29:38Speaker 5: This young man, I ain't gonna mention his name, but
- 29:40Speaker 5: he said, my man, I.
- 29:41Speaker 7: Love your album. And when I'm there, man, I'm going.
- 29:44Speaker 3: Straight to church.
- 29:45Speaker 7: It's like, but he happened, he said, Man, he said
- 29:50Speaker 7: I had the best church.
- 29:51Speaker 5: I said, I said, come on you, he said, but
