  Speaker 3: throughout the day I come home, I just don't want

  Speaker 6: around with these phones all day. In between text messages
• 1:33
  Speaker 6: and phone calls and social media, you're constantly, constantly, constantly stimulated.

• 2:02
  Speaker 3: You haven't like partic hello dust Yeah, crazy, But it'd
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: be cold sometimes i'd be hunger. I feel like a
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Sims character, you know, if y'all play Sims like they
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: be cold, tired, hungry, need to take a bath, and
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: then I gotta talk to people and like smile and
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: I always take a photo of somebody asks me. So
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: sometimes I just be like.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: I'm tired men. What about them in general? Like you
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: run across any of.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Those, they'd be scared to talk to me.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: They should be if the duty.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I make guys nervously.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: Someone's told you that, No, I.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Can see it. I see the lips quivering when they
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: talk to me.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Guy's been trying to hogh.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Let you No, I just be in my presence, like
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: they don't go outside. So like when they see me
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: in person, they'd be like, oh shit, she's actually really pretty.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
• 2:56
  Speaker 7: How do you feel when people say that to you,
• 2:57
  Speaker 7: like when they see your person, like, oh my god,
• 2:58
  Speaker 7: she's so she's really pretty in person.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Because I don't use filters and a lot of stuff
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: like that. So but I think like I have a
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: really great makeup artist and glam team.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: Give God credit money, loan glow by God, God credit.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Now, shout out to Jesus, but not like I actually
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: look like my pictures when I show up. So I
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: think that's surprising for a lot of people. I used
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: to get offended. I'm not gonna lie, It's be like
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: what you mean, like you're so pretty impersonal? Was I ugly?
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: But no, No, I understand what they're saying is actually
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: look like my picture?
• 3:33
  Speaker 7: I posted this on TikTok, Like, how does that make
• 3:35
  Speaker 7: you feel when people say that? Because I don't know
• 3:38
  Speaker 7: why I was the top of.
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: It might be some from there.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: I also didn't I didn't have a self concept until
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: like maybe six or seven years ago.
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: What does that mean?
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: I didn't understand how people perceive me? But I didn't.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: I didn't know that that was a thing.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: How do you think they perceive you.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Like a regal like I don't need any help, Like
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: I have it all together and.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: Because you got money.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: It's always been like that, even in high school, you know,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: people just kind of just look at me as like
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: this unicorn.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: Probably because you had a level of confidence that they
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: didn't have.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: It wasn't confidence, it was obliviousness. Like I literally just
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: used to be like did he look a bird?
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah? So you basically.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: They have a concept of like dark skin, light skin,
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: like none of that pretty ugly. Yeah. No, I'm lucky
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: in that regard, where like I never had any confidence issues.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Maybe like some weight fluctuation, like I wish I was skinny,
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: but then like last time I was here, I was
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: like super skinny, and I've been that and now I'm
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: just like and it's not comfortable, Like everything hurts, you
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, Like sitting in the GYRL when
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: you don't got no ask.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: What you mean because we drag it over here, I
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: don't know.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know I got a little wagon, yeah, because
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: it's it's a thing like you know, I know.
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: You don't got a wagon. I do got a wagon.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: I've never looked at, well the revenge, who are getting revenge?
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Your money long anybody whoever slept on me, whoever tried me,
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: whoever tried to stop forward motion. I think the best
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: revenge is seeing me everywhere. I know I make you itch.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: For somebody in particular that you know, people try to
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: issue you.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, a lot of people. You know, I've been
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: around for a long time, Like I helped a lot
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: of people get from you know, with your yeah, just
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: like showing up, helping come up with like I mean,
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: I don't just write songs like I come up with
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: like the theme and the treatment, and you know a
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: lot of times those ideas get taken and you don't
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: get compensated for that. I think that just comes with
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: being a creative. Like I'm an all around creative, so
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: I can't help but share my point of view. And yeah,
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: like a lot of people did not think that I
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: would get to this level. And the reason why I
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: know that is because they'd be like, man, you really
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: did it, like you did not give up? Like why
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: you're saying it like that, Like you do you know
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: something that I don't know? But also I know a
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: lot of the people like what they said because the
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: industry is small, and I just never I never like
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: I know what you said.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: I just feel that this is your way of doing that.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: It's just I mean, I don't really care that much,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: but like I'd rather see who you actually are rather
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: than like alert you that I'm onto you, because then
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: you could change.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, why did this body of work make you use
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: that title?
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: Like, like what about these fourteen songs made you say
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna name this revenge?
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: So that was the last song that we did on
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: the album, One Day Surround Thomas from Rock City, who's
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: written like so many hits in the last I don't
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: know five years and then the Dream was there. He
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: just came. It just came to say hello, and I
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: looked around the room. I was like, we got tricky.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: The dream me to around Thomas and Kukuro, who does
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: my vocal producer, and I was like, there's no way
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: I'm about to let you I walk up out of
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: here and not get a song like this is crazy.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: So we was talking about relationships, and you know, Dream,
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: he liked to argue, so he was talking about just
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: like the male versus female dynamic and how women are
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: like bitter sometimes when they don't get their way blah
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: blah blah, and sorry if I'm messing that up, Dream,
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: I'm just paraphrasing. So I started talking about just like
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: I just don't want to spend spend my energy that
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: I could be putting into accomplishing my goals by engaging
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: in your whatever it is, like your drama, your A
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: lot of times people want you to do the emotional
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: labor for them, like, oh you made me feel like this, Okay,
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: I apologize, it won't happen again. But I'm also not
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: gonna sit here and lie to you and tell you
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: that I'm gonna change anything to make you feel better.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: That's your work. You have to do that, and so
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: I don't want revenge. I'm just gonna continue growing and
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: developing as a human being, glowing up, and that is
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: the best revenge or the best get back. You know,
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: all the petty stuff.
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: I know you you talked on the Cruise Show a
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: bit about this, and you revealed there that you and
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: your uh, I guess it's a strange husband.
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: I don't know what the title would be. You guys
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: had separated and it was kind of similar. Like you
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: you said you just were of dealing with like drama
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: and people not being happy and things of that nature.
• 9:03
  Speaker 7: How much of that went into this album? And like
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: how much of it do we feel when we listen
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: to these songs?
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: I think like, as a this was the first time
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: as an artist that I actually was writing things that
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: were straight from my brain like a diary. Before it
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: was like living vicariously or hearing her story from one
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: of my friends. And it actually it was very scary
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: because I don't like people in my business and I
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: also understand that, like if you watch that whole interview,
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: I was very specifical with what I said. I didn't
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: say any of the words that were in the headlines.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: I did not say that.
• 9:46
  Speaker 7: I went back and listened earlier because I wanted to
• 9:49
  Speaker 7: hear your exact words, and I felt like, and correct
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: me if I'm wrong, but I felt like you were.
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: You were just a bit exhausted by whatever that situation was.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: I'm just exhausted said period of Like anybody or anything
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: that is trying to pull you into negativity or pull
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: your focus or bog you down, I just don't want
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: to do it. Like you could wake up every day
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: and choose to be happy. Fact, you know what I'm saying.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: Every single day is a new day.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: But you're left the door open too because you said
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: you know things can change, he can work on himself
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: and maybe things could change in the future.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: You still feel that way, And have y'all worked on
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: it at all?
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Who is y'all? Okay?
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Has he worked on himself? Then I should say I.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Have no idea you you only the only way you
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: know is results. Like you know what I mean. Every
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: day you just choose a better action than the day before,
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Like you make adjustments.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: The best apologies, change behavior exactly.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So like the only way I will know that
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: you won't hurt me is if you don't any way,
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: I know that you know you are you are gonna do.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: What you say is if you do it. Yeah, you know,
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: actions versus words. And that's for anyone. Like I said,
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: with my own mama, my granny. The only person who
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: won't get that kind of attitude for me would be
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: my child. You know what I'm saying, because my responsibility
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: to help him grow into a wonderful human, to operate
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: at his highest level on this planet. Everybody else that's
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: on you and eventually even him one day, I'm after
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: loved right.
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: Do his thing and ain't gonna be too far. You
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: got about fourteen years.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, now his birthdays. We have our birthdays on the
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: same day actually, so next.
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: Week, when they get about sixteen, that's when they start
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: to become their.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: Own little persons.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: He already is now. Yeah, he'd be like, no, okay,
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: whatever you say.
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: You know you in the You're in the album with
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: a song called Ruined Me. Do you feel like a
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: person can really ruin you?
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: It depends on like your interpretation of the record. I
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: think that when I say it, I'm saying that most guys,
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: and like I'm not an expert. I'm not saying all men,
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: but it's always a man. They want a dummy. They
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: want a dummy. They want someone who will not question them,
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: will not I think that's what they mean by submissive.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: You want to be able to continue moving through life, undeveloped,
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: unmotivated on whatever. You don't want someone to challenge you
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: and push you, and so a lot of times guys
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: won't change. They'll just go find someone who will accept
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: their negative or poor choices.
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: I think we gotta put a thumb in front of
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: men and guys, some men, some guys.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: Well, no, I said, it's not all men, but it's
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: always a man, you know. I just think that again
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: when I say you ruined me, I'm wise now. I
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: do not believe you when you say, oh, I love
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: you so much, but your actions are doing something else.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: So you're ruined me for everybody else, because now I'm
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: watching you. Know what I'm saying. It's no more like
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: blind falling in love loving your dirty draws like m M.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: I love myself and you can support that, and I
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: will allow myself to be in your space and you
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: can experience me loving myself.
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: Like you got to meet me where I'm at, Yeah, it's.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: My job to love me. Ain't my job to give
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: that to you? And by me loving me, it will
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: pour over onto you and you will feel loved.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: That's a fact, you.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Know what I'm saying. That's what I mean. It's not
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: about to be. No, I'm dropping everything every time I'm cooking,
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: on cleaning. Mm hmm.
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: Does that make it?
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: I mean, this is I was gonna say, Does that
• 13:57
  Speaker 7: make it tough for you when you think about trying
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: to move forward and possibly dating?
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: But this is all new?
• 14:01
  Speaker 7: Like are you even in that spaceship where you're even
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: exploring other men?
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: I'm tired everybody.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: No, Well you said you've always said you didn't like
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: dating before your husband, So if.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: I don't really like people right now, I will say
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: that I'm just really I'm understanding like the game, you
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. Like there's different games being played,
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: so like there's the relationship game, the marriage game, the
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: career game, the frequency game, like and I'm just focused
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: on like getting my foundation right and getting everything together
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: so that any game I decided to go play, I'm straight.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. I think that as women,
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: sometimes we get distracted by relationships and we start put
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: and everything into it. So I'm not saying no.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Money log is fed the Yeah, I feel it, but my.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: Life is great even with the things that are challenging.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: It's nothing to like be mad or like bitter. But
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: you just figured out it's just a puzzle to solve.
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: And so anybody who's coming in making me feel unsure
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: about anything or disturbing my peace, you gotta go. You
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: gotta go down to a mosquito or fly like gods
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: just don't have time.

  Speaker 4: How do you know.

  Speaker 3: Finish anything anything?
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: No, I was just gonna say, you know, how do
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: you know that you're not becoming what you hate?
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: Meaning like I don't hate anything.
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: I'm saying, if you're upset about something or relationship or
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: heard about something that happened in the relationship, how do
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: you know you're not projecting that onto other people.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: I think I've reached a level of self awareness where
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: I'm always asking questions and I'm still in a very
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: much in like a discovery exploration childlike like maybe there's
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: something here that I don't understand. What is this? What
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: you know? And I'm always inquiring for like even when
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: I get pissed, like it hapen last night. Somebody did
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: somebody like. But you know, it's like I'll be like,
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: are you okay? You need something? You're thirsty? Who you'
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: here with? Like I'll be trying to figure out because
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: you got to be out your mind. You're not talking
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: to me to push you off. But I was a
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: girl like walk pass and was like she wasn't looking
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: at anyone, and she just was like, oh, have a
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: good night. Meanwhile, I'm trying to get a table. We
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: went to the last lap okay on some restaurant. You know,
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: they got like three tables in there. I'm trying to eat.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: I'm hungry, I'm cold, I'm tired. Uh she said. She
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: said it out in the no but when she kept
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: walking past, she and you know I can feel energy,
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: she said, I guess not. But it was like directed
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: at me.
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: Now you ain't say nothing back to it.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: But I'm on my phone. I'm trying to I'm like,
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: maybe I could get a burger, like y'all take it too.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: I'm hungry. And I turned around and I looked at
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: my friend and he started laughing. He was like, your friend,
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: don't do it. I was like, she can't be talking
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: to me. I know she's not talking to me. I
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: don't like that kind of stuff because to me, that
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: says that you think you could beat me up, You
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: think you could beat me up, you.
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: Bully me. I don't like that.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: Did you No, she she was walking on us, so
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: she can't be talking to me. I know she not.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: And they just kept walking like I think they was like, yeah,
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: don't do that because I'm very nice, I'm quiet, Like
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: you know, people have like a perception of me, I
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: will beat you up, Like, don't do that.
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: I said that about somebody last week, Like this person
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: got to show me, what do you mean the way
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: this person talking? They got to show me. They got
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: to show the way you're talking. They got to show
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: me they can beat me up.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: But if the lady said have a good night, and
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: she thought you heard and you said nothing, she probably
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: was like she probably felt offend.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: She wasn't looking at That's that's like me being like,
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: good morning, who am I talking to?
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: Do you know how?
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: It wasn't that many people, so it was like it
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: was a section you No, there was other people. She's
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: walking past and she said have a good night to
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: the air, like I mean honest to hear what you're saying.
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: But she's probably not from here, because that's that can
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: be a coaching shock when you're not from New York,
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: because you know, I'm from the South. So I greet
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: people and I say things like can't see you later,
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: and nobody will respond back. But that's just a New
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: York thing, like New York is just rude.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: No, I would have said something if I thought she
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: was talking to me. That's the other thing. I'm so nice,
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: Like I always take the photo, I always speak, I always,
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: you know, always, because I understand, yeah, exactly.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: A fight because you say you can still fight.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: Fight no more. I'm too rich for that now, you
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. But I never lost one actually
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: know my first fight I lost.
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: But I'll be.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: I do because I feel it's like you don't want
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: to fight. You don't want to fight someone who is afraid,
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, because you don't know what
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: they're gonna do. I'm always cared to get hit, so
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna make sure you can't hit me. Never lost,
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: But don't be not fighting anyone. Don't be taking that
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: as a challenge because you're gonna go to jail. I'm
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: gonna call those people.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: You have a you have a song called thirties. How
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: much have you learned from your thirties?
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: Still? Yeah, I I have learned over the last ten
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: years because I started my self reflection and like internal
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: journey at twenty six. Over the last ten I have
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: learned that everybody's on their own individual course and that
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: you cannot interfere with free will. So no matter how
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: much I might want something for you, who am I
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: to take that from you, that lesson or that that
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: opportunity to grow and learn Because you don't have to
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: learn through you could choose to learn through joy. You
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: don't have to learn through drama and trauma. But most
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: of the time, people are not motivated to change anything
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: until stuff gets very uncomfortable. And so I've learned to
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: just like relax and be like, yeah, yeah, we got
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: all ten fingers and toes were breathing, you know what
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: I'm saying, Gude, Yeah, gratitude, but also just like a
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: deep understanding and like, uh, lack of like I'm not
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: afraid of anything anymore, you know, not afford to lose people.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: I understand, like it's probably gonna hurt, yeah, but go
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: over it.
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: On thirties.
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: It sounds like you're singing about the fear of being alone. Yeah,
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: so that's a fear, right.
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: No, not for me.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: It's like I don't want that, Okay, I don't want
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: to be alone, like with no companionship. That doesn't necessarily
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: mean relationship. That could just mean, like, you know, if
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: I feel like I look cute, sometimes I might want
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: to talk to somebody. You're like, tell me I'm pretty.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: Like what I'm saying?
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: Yeap?
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: What makes so cold?
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: Because do you feel like you got married too young?
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: No? Okay, I got married at twenty five.
• 21:46
  Speaker 7: Some people would say that was young, that that was
• 21:49
  Speaker 7: pretty young, But no, I don't feel like that got you.
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: Do you think because you spent do you ever look back?
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: Because you spent from twenty five to now thirty five
• 21:56
  Speaker 7: married and you guys are figuring out whatever it's gonna
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: happen next, next or not, that you spent so much
• 22:02
  Speaker 7: of your time being married that it's like figuring out
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: this new world by yourself is like it's just like
• 22:08
  Speaker 7: a space. It's going to be so new that it's
• 22:09
  Speaker 7: like something that maybe you are not ready to jump
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: into or you don't know how to jump into it,
• 22:14
  Speaker 7: like you don't know how to navigate it, because it's
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: like a new.
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: Like you've never been, like you've always.
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: Been in a marriage.
• 22:24
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we really it's really hard to talk about because
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: I don't really know like what, like y'all are separated because.
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: Divorce didn't come out your mom.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: You know one thing I'll say about this, and I
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: know a lot of people are gonna want to ask me.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: They're going to want to know, But I know that
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: my words are very powerful, and I have what I say.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: I just want to be careful about what I say
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: because I don't want to draw things to me.
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: I love that for you.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. When I say somebody's name,
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: they appear, so I don't want to. I mean, I
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: got you.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: I was asking what turns you so cold?
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Because it was like, now you're like, I don't care
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: if somebody's in my life, I'm gonna turn what what
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: made you cold?
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: I'm not cold? Just some focus on me, that's it.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: I think have decentered men, of decentered relationships and what
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: the world teaches you your role is as a woman
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: I'm just here to have fun, to experience the best
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: that life has to offer, and I will share it
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: with who I want to, not because I feel like
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: I need to be with no, you know what I'm saying?
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: Also too, like what guy can handle this? You know?
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: Was that a part of it? Because he was your husband?
• 23:40
  Speaker 7: You guys have done so much together industry wise in this,
• 23:44
  Speaker 7: I mean, yeah, it seems like it every time it
• 23:46
  Speaker 7: looks yeah, but also to how you used to talk
• 23:48
  Speaker 7: about him, like I know you talked about like y'all
• 23:51
  Speaker 7: working on the label together, and like he helped produce
• 23:54
  Speaker 7: some of your songs, correct, right, So it just it
• 23:56
  Speaker 7: seemed like sometimes.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: As a wife, you just want to say things to
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: help encourage things to go in a certain direction. Firm
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: and uh, what's the word motivate? Mm hmm, gently, pride,
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: But that doesn't always mean that it's connecting.
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: Wow in between the lines here, So.
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: Have any of those these recent interviews prided him to
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: go start maybe doing the work on himself that he.
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: Needs to do. See, I haven't spoken.
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: And why you think a man can't handle you the
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: same way you're talking about you know, you don't want
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: to talk.
• 24:37
  Speaker 7: About all of the stuff that comes with being money
• 24:41
  Speaker 7: long as your guys.
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: There's guys you unless you don't want an industry guy,
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: because gus guys that know exactly what you're dealing with.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: As a woman, I understand why industry men behave the
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: way they behave. I would never date one so easy.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: Do you have whatever you want, Get whatever you want,
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: sleep with whatever you want. You're not about to play
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: in my face?
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: What do you think changed because it's been you said
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: since twenty four you think the fact that you made it.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: It's almost like I love you when you're trying to
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: make it, but now when you make it.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Things change, roles change.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: No, I'm only in my head. I only know what
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: I'm thinking. I'm not trying to be criptic. This is
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: just really how I think, Like I have no idea
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: when I'm not trying to figure it out.
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: Are you picking up that pen while you're going through
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: all of this, I'm always writing, okay, because some fire
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: music can come from this. My God, I'm sorry that
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: you're going through whatever you're going through with Lord, have mercy.
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: I know you're making some fire records.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: I haven't been in the studio, but I'll probably again,
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: I get what I say, so I want to make
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: sure I'm saying things that I want to appear versus gotcha.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm so mad, I'm not. I wake up
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: every day so happy, like I've surrounded myself with the
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: most wonderful, warm, funny like me and my friend group
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: are hilarious.
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: That's needed.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so like it's just so fun like you know,
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: we have our own little inside jokes. I laughed through
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: the pain, like you know what I'm saying. Like I'll
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: pick up something like a pickle, and like everything reminds
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: me of you know, just like so funny. Sometimes it's
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: a big pickle.
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: Remind me of you know it?
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: Hey, yo, what size is the story about life?
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: When you talk about your words and your pin being powerful,
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: do you ever feel like some of your songs might
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: be too open and too honest, Like you might be
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: putting too much out there?
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: It's this weird thing that I have this effect on
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: people where even in real life, I'm only telling you
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: what I want you to know. There's so much. But
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: a lot of times people really think that they know me,
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: like they feel like, oh that's my first my homegirl
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: is my friend I'll be like I talked to this
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: one time, Like what, that's crazy? You don't know me
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: like that? Like if I actually like you, I talk
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: to you, I open up. But if I don't know you,
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: or if I don't feel safe around you, I know
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: how to make people feel welcome and warm and cared about.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: And I think sometimes people mistake that for like actual
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: care and concern speak.
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: To how important feelings safe around people is.
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: Because I love when people use that term, because that's
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: truly what it is. If you can feel safe around people,
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: you can.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: Be yourself, Yeah, to be the I always encourage people
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: to like be the you that you are when you're
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: with your family and with you, when you're with your
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: best friends, or when you're by yourself. Like everybody has
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: star quality, every person, but it's when you feel safe
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: that that comes out. And I think a lot of
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: us spend time in spaces that we don't feel safe
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: and that we're uncomfortable in, that we don't want to
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: be in, that we feel exposed, we're not confident enough
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: to be vulnerable. I think that's part of what makes
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: a great artist and a great performer, great entertainer actor.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: They're not afraid to be naked in front of people,
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: and they're not afraid to bear their soul in front
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: of the world. That is a very hard thing to do.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: They had me singing in the street buskting yesterday on
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: the subway. Oh my god, it was so cringey.
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: On a subway, like singing.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: No, it was very dusty down there, just you know,
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: getting content, content and skin these days. So I got
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: on the train and I was asking people like, uh,
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: how did you know your person was made for you?
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: Giving answers like what makes you feel like a baddie?
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: Just like questions from the song my album and the
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: other songs on my album. Yeah. So then they had
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: me singing, like I started singing to this older couple
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: they've been together for like forty seven years. But it
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: was so cringey, girl.
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: Oh it wasn't all. It wasn't all. I mean New
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: York subways are a lot.
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: No, but for me, it was like like the anxiety
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: I felt in my body. I thought somebody was gonna
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: hit me in the head and be like shut security. No,
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: not yesterday. Oh wait, yeah no, he was there, Yeah,
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: he was there. Yeah, but still this is New York. Yeah, yeah,
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: it'd be like, shut up. Yeah, that's what I thought
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: was gonna happen, but it didn't.
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: But that's because you like really control your spaces. I
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: mean in the subway. It's like people from everywhere now.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: But once I started singing, people was like, is that
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: really her? That sounded like yeah. I was cringing though
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: the whole time.
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: Wow, superpowers? What are your superpowers?
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: My superpower is detachment, like it really is now. In
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: reference to the song, what I'm talking about is like
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: I get what I say, and every aspect of my life,
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: I'm super successful. Why not here in this you knowship? Yeah?
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: Why can this not? And that doesn't just mean romantically,
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: it could be family, you know, but why doesn't my
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: power work in this area? I really want this? Wow?
• 30:26
  Speaker 7: So I think so many people in relationships can relate
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: to that. A lot of people because you date potential
• 30:32
  Speaker 7: sometimes and you see the potential before the other person does,
• 30:35
  Speaker 7: and you're like, come.
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: On, see, I don't I can't relate to that. I
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: don't know what that means. If I like you, I
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: like you, all that other stuff don't matter.
• 30:42
  Speaker 7: Whoa I mean, I think it would be the same
• 30:44
  Speaker 7: reason why you said that you were speaking things because
• 30:46
  Speaker 7: you wanted him to kind of like do it or
• 30:50
  Speaker 7: like catch on or whatever you were just saying earlier.
• 30:52
  Speaker 7: That's kind of what I'm talking about.
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: That's an interesting perspective. I never thought about it. People
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: talk about potential. But if I like you, I like you.
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: I'm not waiting for you to grow to be somebody else.
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: I like you you are.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: I like you the person that I'm not motivated by
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: what you do because that could change, Like you could
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: quit your job and decide you want to be a chef.
• 31:10
  Speaker 7: Not even like a job though, but like it could
• 31:12
  Speaker 7: be like how how they talk to you or how
• 31:14
  Speaker 7: they I don't know.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: Like why do you have potential?
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Somebody like.
• 31:20
  Speaker 7: You can like somebody but no, not even that, but
• 31:23
  Speaker 7: you can like somebody and then get to know them
• 31:25
  Speaker 7: and you're like, you know what, I love that you
• 31:27
  Speaker 7: do this, but I don't necessarily like that you respond
• 31:30
  Speaker 7: this way about certain stuff.
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: And then you guys have to figure that out and
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: that take another girl.
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: That's normally how.
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: I that's literally what you said earlier.
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: What you do?
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: Yeh know?
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: How do you have potential? In communication? There's no potential?
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: Don't be putting my business out there like that.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, girl, no potential. You don't like how somebody
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: talk get a new one.
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: That's what I'm single.
• 31:54
  Speaker 7: I mean, I know for me myself, Like because I
• 31:57
  Speaker 7: started young with that person that I'm talking about. Once
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: I grew to a certain point, there were certain things
• 32:02
  Speaker 7: that I was just.
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: Like, I don't know if I like the Stockholm syndrome.
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: Oh wow, okay is it that? Would that be that?
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: Back to you?
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: Okay, No, No, I love when people.
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: I never thought about it as Stockholm syndrome.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: You're just comfortable there, I mean, yeah, your capture chapter
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: is crazy.
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: You know, this is probably the most difficult thing about
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: me being in a long term relationship is that I see, yeah,
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: I could see you know what I'm saying. You can't like,
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: you know, there's a difference between marriage and boyfriend and girlfriend.
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we can't just walk away when you guys.
• 32:46
  Speaker 7: So outside of that being a difference, like when you
• 32:47
  Speaker 7: guys went from boyfriend and girlfriend to marriage, what was
• 32:50
  Speaker 7: one of the biggest differences for y'all.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't have an answer for that,
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: because once I like you, that's it. Oh, ma'am jumping
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: in until you be like cool and then I detached
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: that you guys mean my superpower poof you never existed.
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: You don't know.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 33:14
  Speaker 6: When you're writing stuff like every night I've been crying,
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: I can't fall asleep.
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: Land in the bed and my diamond. I still wear
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: my ring?
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: Are you?
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: Are you still wearing the ring? Not today but in
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: this song?
• 33:26
  Speaker 7: Okay, but you said we were reading your diary, so
• 33:28
  Speaker 7: we take you at your word.
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: No, that had nothing to do with y'all.
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: All right, some things, Remember, words are powerful. You're telling
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: us you don't let that man no more.
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: I don't want to be with that man.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: No. When you say love, what do you mean by love?
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: Romantic love?
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: Or don't look at me girl?
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: I can't help you with this parenting love spinning to
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: death to us part love. I want to still be
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: with you and have a family. Let's figure life out,
• 34:03
  Speaker 6: do better or worse love?
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but you could fall out of love.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm very I'm detached from.
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: Don't you're not You're so tough, you are I'm not.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: Didn't we talk about this last time, we didn't. We
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: didn't talk about me being on the spectrum.
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes we did.
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, got you. So No, when I say I detached,
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: I really do. Seriously, Yeah, you are not out of sight,
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: out of mind.
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: There's no great area with you.
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: Is there a reattachment that happens? I mean, I don't
• 34:52
  Speaker 6: know how that works when you're on the spectrum, I
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: don't know.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: I think with anyone there's a safety and trust issue.
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: What's that violated?
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: As I read somewhere, it takes two years to regain
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: trust once you once it's broken. So just consistent behavior,
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: which we talked about.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: In the beginning, take way longer than that, depend.
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: On depending on what it is. But if I if I,
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: if I consistently come up to your house and every
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: time I come your dog bites me, put the dog up,
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: or I'm going to assume that you are okay with
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: that and you don't feel the need to keep me safe,
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: so I'm not going to come back over here.
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: He was putting the dog on you.
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: That was an analogy the headline. By the way, you
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: know what, I'm would just stay off the internet once
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: this comes up.
• 35:51
  Speaker 7: On the find side of things, you do have Glorilla
• 35:53
  Speaker 7: on the album, but the only feature?
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: Why is she the only feature?
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: First of all, I feel like I don't really make
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: songs that require that. Yeah, And like I really want
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: to stress the fact that like this project was.
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: A and R.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: It wasn't like just there in the studio freestyle and
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: making records like I wanted to have certain tones, like
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: what don't I have here? Does this song need drums?
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: Does it not? I don't know, you know, so we
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: really thought about like who could be on my records,
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: and it's not I don't believe in that. Just throwing
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: an artist on a song just because they got fifty
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: million monthly listeners, Like you know what I'm saying doesn't
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: make sense. I actually really like Glow. She's funny, super talented,
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: and she's singing on there. So when I first heard it,
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: I was like, oh, sing Rella, I love this for me? Yeah,
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: I don't. I don't make songs that If anything, it
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: would be like a duet male female. But who would
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: that be? There's not very many active R and B men.
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: Who is there already? You have a song? Was working
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: on getting one with Chris. Maybe I just came off
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: tour with him, fun, super fun.
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: What did you learn on the eleven eleven tour?
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: I learned how to push my energy all the way
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: to the top and to connect with everybody. It was
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: my first tour, so like looking back at the footage
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: even now, I'm just like, while I can see like
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: the the greenness, but when I was in it, it's
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: just like it was I gotta, I gotta get up here,
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: like I gotta do it. There was only one night
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: where it wasn't that great, and that's just because like
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: the first night in Atlanta, they was like, girl.
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: Who was you?
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: We came here to see Christopher?
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: We do that? I want you?
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And all the songs and all I mean they
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: always in the last fifteen minutes of my set, the
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: arena light up. Everybody's singing as ever, gonna get old.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: But like all the songs in the middle that maybe
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: some people knowing, some people don't. That's where the work is.
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: It's like for me connecting with them and showing them
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: who I am, talking to them, showing my personality things
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: like that. So it was fun. I learned a lot.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: Well, what song you want to hear down? Let's get
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: into a juvene off the album.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: One song off the album, we could play Bessie. I
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: love Yeah, Bessie. Is this a song about? First of all,
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: this is the first song that I took ever that
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: I did not write. I tweaked a few things to
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: make it fit me, but up tempos is not really
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: my thing. I do ballads and like introspective type stuff.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: So when to Ron played it for me, I was
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: like that, whatever that is, I need that, please, And
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: then I just changed it because there's a lot of
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: Bestie songs. I just changed the spelling because that's how
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: we actually say it on a song that's my Bessie. Yeah,
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: it's fun, fun record.
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: You know you don't want to ask you. You made
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: me think about it.
• 39:05
  Speaker 6: When you talk about performing on stage, what do you
• 39:07
  Speaker 6: enjoy more because you've made.
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: Money doing both being an artist or a writer.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: I enjoy being able to say what I want to
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: say when I want to say it. And I also
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: really did not have fun as a songwriter just because
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: of the way that songwriters get treated. So I prefer
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: to like have my own autonomy.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, money long money joining us.
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: Thank you so much for having me.

  Speaker 6: Can't act like that. That heartbreak music wasn't fantastic. Not
• 39:52
  Speaker 6: saying you're going through heartbreak. Yeah, I'm saying you're going
• 39:56
  Speaker 6: through a lot of different emotions. I can't wait to
• 39:57
  Speaker 6: hear that express through music.
• 40:00
  Speaker 7: Why do you think that I'm not going through a
• 40:03
  Speaker 7: bunch of emotions. It feels like it a bit. But
• 40:06
  Speaker 7: we I mean, you know yourself better than we do.
• 40:08
  Speaker 7: But yeah, I just can't imagine being in that space.
• 40:10
  Speaker 7: You know everything and now it's out there in the
• 40:12
  Speaker 7: public and you gotta do press and you gotta you know,
• 40:15
  Speaker 7: relive and retalk and all that stuff.
• 40:17

• 40:18
  Speaker 3: Anything is a little bit of like frustration, why y'all
• 40:22
