- 4:46Speaker 1: now they see the new you. Now you're a hypocrite.
- 4:48Speaker 1: You ain't a hypocrite.
- 4:49Speaker 2: You just change it.
- 4:50Speaker 1: Don't let them hate to shake you. Man, go own
- 4:52Speaker 1: about your business when they talking about you. Look at
- 4:55Speaker 1: him now, gonna try to go home. He been with
- 4:57Speaker 1: me all this time, Hey man, just go home. Oh
- 5:00Speaker 1: he gonna try to go home now, man, he know
- 5:02Speaker 1: Friday nights. Man, we done told our girls this where
- 5:04Speaker 1: we're at now. He's showing up at the house because
- 5:06Speaker 1: he don't want to come on player. Hey man, just
- 5:09Speaker 1: go home. It's gonna be unpopular, You're gonna get talked about.
- 5:13Speaker 1: They gonna say you're a hypocrite. But do the right thing.
- 5:16Speaker 1: God will bless you for that. That's something in Proverbs
- 5:19Speaker 1: that says, if you honor God, if you do the
- 5:21Speaker 1: right thing, if you seek him out, God will cause
- 5:23Speaker 1: his blessings to chase you down. Do you understand me
- 5:27Speaker 1: what that means? Can you imagine what would happen in
- 5:30Speaker 1: your life if God were to take some blessings and
- 5:35Speaker 1: chase you down with him. Do you know that there's
- 5:38Speaker 1: no hiding from him in your deepest, darkest secret. He
- 5:42Speaker 1: know about the stuff that you done kept out the
- 5:44Speaker 1: light from everybody else.
- 5:46Speaker 2: He know about all of that.
- 5:48Speaker 1: So now if he has got some blessings that he
- 5:51Speaker 1: gonna chase you down with, you can't even escape him.
- 5:54Speaker 1: You look up and here come another one, that go,
- 5:57Speaker 1: another one, Here he go again. Man, That's what I'm
- 6:00Speaker 1: trying to get my life too, because at the end, man,
- 6:03Speaker 1: what I do not want? Man, and not even at
- 6:06Speaker 1: the end, I just don't want now God to have
- 6:09Speaker 1: all these boxes up in heaven, these blessings with my
- 6:13Speaker 1: name on them, and I don't get them sent to
- 6:15Speaker 1: me because I'm down.
- 6:16Speaker 2: Here clowning so hard.
- 6:18Speaker 1: He can't even ship blessings to me because I'm just
- 6:22Speaker 1: so dead wrong that I'm blocking the blessings man, that
- 6:25Speaker 1: God got for me. I would rather do the best
- 6:30Speaker 1: I can do and be the best I can be,
- 6:33Speaker 1: make some mistakes, ask for forgiveness, and get on up
- 6:36Speaker 1: and see what God got for me. And remember, Donny
- 6:38Speaker 1: McClurkin got a song out.
- 6:40Speaker 2: Man.
- 6:40Speaker 1: We ain't got time to play it now because I
- 6:41Speaker 1: done talked too long, but you know that's where I
- 6:43Speaker 1: am right now. The song is one of my favorite.
- 6:47Speaker 1: When Donnie wrote we Fall Down, do you know I
- 6:51Speaker 1: knew him when he.
- 6:52Speaker 2: Wrote the song. I thought he had wrote the song
- 6:55Speaker 2: for me.
- 6:57Speaker 1: I really did, because it came out after a conversation
- 7:00Speaker 1: we was having, and I thought he had wrote the
- 7:03Speaker 1: song for me because it's so appropriate to my life.
- 7:07Speaker 1: And I bet you it's appropriate to your life because
- 7:10Speaker 1: you see, guess what, We fall down, but we get up.
- 7:13Speaker 1: He has a line in the song that says a
- 7:16Speaker 1: saint is just a sinner who fell down, but he
- 7:20Speaker 1: didn't stay there. That's the deal, y'all. Look, you gonna
- 7:24Speaker 1: make some mistakes. Just don't stay there. Just get up, man,
- 7:29Speaker 1: and walk straight again. Then while you're walking straight and
- 7:32Speaker 1: write and trying to be righteous, you're gonna fall.
- 7:35Speaker 2: Get up.
- 7:36Speaker 1: Don't stay there and get back on the straight and
- 7:38Speaker 1: the righteous you're gonna fall a bunch of times. Just
- 7:41Speaker 1: don't stay there. Just get up, man. That's the only
- 7:44Speaker 1: difference between a saint and a sinner. They the same people, man. Actually,
- 7:49Speaker 1: that's what the revealing news is. Saints is really sinners.
- 7:54Speaker 1: They're the same people. They just keep getting up. That's
- 7:57Speaker 1: all man.
