• 0:18
  Speaker 1: you mean by that when you say that in the morning?
• 0:21

• 0:37
  Speaker 1: when you come in the room. I'm coming in y'all's room,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: whether it's your bedroom, the room in your house, your car,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: your office, you know, wherever you're at. I come in
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the room, I got to speak. So I say, good morning, everybody.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: You are listening to the voice. And then I got
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: to introduce myself because as a performer, I always felt
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: my best when I was introduced. Why would you walk
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: out on stage and nobody introduce you? You can't get
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: a round of applause. It's just, it's horrible. So I say,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: you are listening to the voice. One and only Steve Harvey.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Come on, dig me now. Now that's old school. I

• 1:18
  Speaker 1: now is I want you to feel what I'm about
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: to say. That's all I'm saying. That's not a bragging thing.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: You know, Y'all listening to the voice, one and only
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Steve Harvey. Come on, dig me now. I'm just asking
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: you to feel what I'm saying in the morning because
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: it's part of a promise that I made to God. See,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: a long time ago, I told God if he allowed
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: me to make it, that when I got there, I
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: would tell everybody I know how I did it. And
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I wasn't going to shortcut it or shade him on it.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I said, if you allow me to make it, if
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: you give me the strength, the courage, the wisdom, You
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: gave me a gift. If you let me apply it,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: don't destroy myself in the process. Forgive me for my
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: sins along the way. Continue to hold and rock me
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: when I need it. When I make it, I promise you, Lord,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: when I get there, I will tell everybody how I
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: made it. Well, this started back in L.A. when I
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: got on the radio and I was making it OK.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I was doing OK. But I had to keep my
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: promise to God. My promise was, if you allow me
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: to make it, I'll tell everybody how I got there.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I have to tell you that every day, because if
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: it was not for that grace and mercy, I wouldn't
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: even be here able to fulfill my promise because I've
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: done enough dirt in my life, man, to not be worthy.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: He could have easily walked away from me a long
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: time ago. Because I had sure walked away from him. See,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: and I didn't walk away from him once. I walked
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: away from him a bunch of times. But guess what?
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: He forgave me a bunch of times.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I'm a living example of hundreds of chances. His forgiveness
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and his mercy is available for everybody. It's the only
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: reason I get on this show every day. It's the
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: only reason I have the blessings that's coming my way.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: It's the only way that things that keep happening in
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: my life, man, that I have no explanation for. It's
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: because of his grace and mercy. See, anytime something good
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: happens in my life and I can't explain it, that's
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: usually him. He exhibits to me. Remember, I'm a forgiving God, man.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Remember. So when you fall, Steve, don't lay down there.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Don't you lay down there.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Don't you let the devil fool you that because you
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: did made some mistakes that you ain't that you can't
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: do it because everybody going to make them.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: There's none perfect. No, not one. So get up. Keep moving.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Keep pushing. Step on.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: What you laying there for? Your daddy didn't raise you
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: that way. Look, man, my father was just about manhood.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I'm going to just tell you. My daddy never had
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: a conversation with me about church. He beat me for
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: not going, but, you know, a couple times, but He
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: wasn't about that.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: It wasn't his message. That was my mama's job.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: My mama taught me about being saved, about loving the Lord,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: about giving your life, about the teachings of Jesus Christ.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: My mama was a Sunday school teacher. So I got
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: all of that from her. My old man ain't had
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: none of that for me. My old man talked to
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: me about one thing all day long, hardworking manhood. And
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: you're going to get that if you don't get nothing
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: else from me. He gave that to me. So I
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: got it. See, so my father used to say, excuse
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: my language, but you ain't going to sit there like
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: no little punk up in here. You ain't doing what
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: you finna do. You finna get up and go do
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: what you supposed to do. Now stop all that whining
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: like some little punk and go on and get to moving.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: That's how my father talked to me. Now I'm just
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: telling you real. It worked for me, though. And before
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: you start emailing me, that had nothing to do with
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: homosexuality at all. It's just that was his term for
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: a man not acting like a man.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: That's all it was.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: It was not a gay reference at all. I want
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: you to understand that before you start emailing me. So
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: my daddy wasn't calling. That was not a sexual reference
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: for him. My father talked to us. That's what he meant.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I knew exactly what he meant. He couldn't have meant
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: nothing else. He didn't even know nothing about that. My
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: old man clueless when it comes to that right there.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: When I was getting down and feeling bad about myself,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: my old man, he.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Taught me this toughness, man. He gave me this grit,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: this doggedness, this go to work and work hard.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: That's why today when God does bless me with something,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: he ain't got to worry about me not working hard.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Cause that's in me. And when I get tired, I
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: ask that same God for strength to keep on doing
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: so I can do the blessings he got for me.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: So when you ask me, how are you going to
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: do all this, Steve Harvey?
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I ain't got to figure that out.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: All I got to do is show up with the
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: same amount of faith I've been showing up with. God
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: handled the rest of it. See, y'all, let me tell
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: you something. I don't see how you do it.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: I don't either. Can I get you? Hey, man, newsflash.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Let me hear.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: I don't see how you doing all SD.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: You doing this. You doing that. You know, can I
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: tell you something? I don't either.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I just wake up with the faith, man, and trusting
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: that if he going to bless me with it, he
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: must be going to show me a way how to
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: get it done.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: See, I ain't tripping on that part.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: See, once you take yourself out the how to business,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: you can go on and get with it. But see,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: if you're going to trip yourself out with the how to,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: you can't think like God can think. You can't figure
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: like God can figure. So now you sitting up in
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: here going, Lord, I want this to happen for me.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Then I don't know how I'm going to.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Do all that. Well, guess what?
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: You in the way now. See, now you in the way.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Because see, God ain't ask you to figure out how to.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: He said, ask and believe. Then he said, faith without
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: works is dead. That's my solution. That's the concoction that
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I'm functioning on. All I got to do is accept
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: the blessing, keep the faith, be willing to work and believe.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: God can do anything but fail. Why would God bring
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: me this far to leave me? Why would he bring
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: you this far to leave you? So why I get
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: up every morning? I have no choice. I gots to
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: get up in here and rap. When I'm running late, man,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I try to plow through here. Sometimes I don't make it, man.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I got to do a rerun. But I plow through here. Because, man, Steve,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: you're going to run out of something to say. No,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I'm going to just keep thanking him. Now, you can't
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: run out of that, can you? Because you owe him that.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Matter of fact, when I get through talking, I really
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: ain't thanked him enough.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
