- 2:49Speaker 5: How much I was.
- 2:50Speaker 7: Doing a little much.
- 2:51Speaker 4: That's why I wouldn't for real, That's why I wouldn't
- 2:53Speaker 4: hook up with her, because she was my friend and
- 2:55Speaker 4: I knew once I started.
- 2:57Speaker 1: That is it. That was it. She wouldn't go.
- 3:00Speaker 4: I know that once I said I do, I am,
- 3:03Speaker 4: I will all right, and here I am.
- 3:04Speaker 1: How did you know that I want brothers to know?
- 3:06Speaker 5: How did you know this is the one I'm gonna
- 3:08Speaker 5: put all my player ways through the side.
- 3:09Speaker 1: That's what I want to be for the rest of it.
- 3:10Speaker 7: She was just different.
- 3:12Speaker 4: You know. She she just wasn't the same, but she
- 3:14Speaker 4: was somebody I could call when I was in trouble
- 3:17Speaker 4: washing had to wash dishes and stuff.
- 3:18Speaker 7: I call her and talk and watched dishes. What you're doing.
- 3:21Speaker 7: I'm sitting here washing dishes. What you're doing.
- 3:24Speaker 4: And so it was just we would just have that
- 3:26Speaker 4: conversation just about everything, like she knew about She actually
- 3:30Speaker 4: knew my baby, Mam and them before me, so she
- 3:33Speaker 4: knew about all of them, everybody.
- 3:35Speaker 7: So when I.
- 3:36Speaker 4: Decided, okay, let me cut this out, I started calling, Hey,
- 3:40Speaker 4: you may want to come and get this last little
- 3:42Speaker 4: hit because I'm about to get in something for life.
- 3:44Speaker 7: And boom is it?
- 3:46Speaker 3: Wow?
- 3:49Speaker 5: I thought, sound crazy girl, Come get one last I
- 3:53Speaker 5: gonna get passed.
- 3:55Speaker 1: That sounds crazy, No, but I just I just.
- 4:01Speaker 7: Knew for real, she just had something different.
- 4:03Speaker 4: And you know, we can say it's different, but you know,
- 4:06Speaker 4: me being a believer, I know it was the anointing
- 4:07Speaker 4: that she had on it that was different.
- 4:09Speaker 1: So I couldn't.
- 4:10Speaker 4: I wasn't gonna be able to play her. And then
- 4:13Speaker 4: I knew she was gonna be famous. So I got
- 4:14Speaker 4: her presidant, trapped her.
- 4:16Speaker 6: And you know, you did not know that you did
- 4:20Speaker 6: not know. But it's really been a wonderful ride. Y'all.
- 4:23Speaker 3: Marriage can work. I mean, it takes work, but we
- 4:26Speaker 3: really enjoy each other's company and I like him. We
- 4:29Speaker 3: like each other. We're not just in love, but we
- 4:31Speaker 3: really like and love each other. Hanging out doing nothing
- 4:34Speaker 3: is fun to us.
- 4:35Speaker 4: And you know that's the problem getting some of the
- 4:38Speaker 4: interviews like this is because you know, we've they've pitched
- 4:41Speaker 4: us to do interviews.
- 4:42Speaker 7: As a couple. Has he cheated on it? Now he's
- 4:45Speaker 7: not cheating on it?
- 4:46Speaker 3: Uh?
- 4:46Speaker 7: Does he have something else going on? Anybody something?
- 4:51Speaker 3: Yeah, It's like it's like you can't get interview if
- 4:53Speaker 3: you're doing good. You know, it's like the world thrives
- 4:57Speaker 3: off of the negative. It's like the positive that people
- 5:00Speaker 3: and that it can work and talking about family and
- 5:02Speaker 3: trying to whole family together.
- 5:03Speaker 6: I mean, because you know it's.
- 5:05Speaker 7: Just somebody put online the other day. They can't be
- 5:07Speaker 7: that happy. They fake.
- 5:09Speaker 5: Yeah, that's fake.
- 5:10Speaker 1: That's people say that all the time.
- 5:11Speaker 2: Yeah, we see how they say that all the time,
- 5:13Speaker 2: and the reason is because they're not happy in their life,
- 5:15Speaker 2: so they can't see how you guys are not happy.
- 5:17Speaker 2: I was gonna ask, so what do you tell young
- 5:18Speaker 2: couples because you said something. You said, y'all you've been
- 5:21Speaker 2: together that and never separation.
- 5:23Speaker 1: Right.
- 5:23Speaker 2: Me and my wife we've been married twenty three years,
- 5:26Speaker 2: been together thirty one, no separations, right, We work through
- 5:28Speaker 2: everything and good, bad, ugly whatever.
- 5:31Speaker 1: So what do you tell young couples.
- 5:33Speaker 3: We took the voice off the cup, We took the
- 5:35Speaker 3: voice off the table. And the thing is is to
- 5:38Speaker 3: sometimes you gotta just separate in for instance, in the house,
- 5:41Speaker 3: to just gather your thoughts versus like throwing venom, like
- 5:45Speaker 3: at the heat of the moment. Sometimes you just have
- 5:47Speaker 3: to back up, Okay, just take a minute and digest
- 5:50Speaker 3: what's happening versus so you won't say pierce I say
- 5:53Speaker 3: piercing things. I've been saying that since the beginning, because
- 5:56Speaker 3: you can say stuff when you're angry, and then you can't.
- 6:00Speaker 3: You can't take that words back because no matter if
- 6:02Speaker 3: somebody say I'm sorry and I forgive you, but in
- 6:04Speaker 3: the back of your head, you.
- 6:06Speaker 4: Still you never try to resolve issues in the middle
- 6:09Speaker 4: of a battle. I mean, you just let it calm
- 6:12Speaker 4: down a little period, just cool it off a little
- 6:14Speaker 4: bit when you're trying to resolve stuff in the middle
- 6:16Speaker 4: of war, it gets a little hard because you know
- 6:19Speaker 4: early on, like she say just I'm quick with quickly
- 6:22Speaker 4: in my mouth quickly, so I would just say piercing stuff.
- 6:25Speaker 4: And I just started to see how man, this is
- 6:27Speaker 4: devastating this woman.
- 6:28Speaker 1: It's crushing her.
- 6:29Speaker 7: So you know, I just start building her up.
- 6:32Speaker 2: What's the worst battle that you guys got into that
- 6:34Speaker 2: you remember that it was just nasty and you was
- 6:36Speaker 2: going at her neck.
- 6:37Speaker 1: She was going at your neck.
- 6:38Speaker 4: Okay, So, like we talk, the knock at the door,
- 6:44Speaker 4: the knock at the door, knock at the door.
- 6:48Speaker 7: Imagine this.
- 6:48Speaker 4: Imagine she's at work, you at the house, and the
- 6:52Speaker 4: constable knock on the door and say, hey, here you go.
- 6:54Speaker 1: Hear the papers.
- 6:54Speaker 7: You've been served, You've been served?

- 7:05Speaker 4: is how long y'all were married at this married five
- 7:07Speaker 4: years by this time, So before I got married, when
- 7:11Speaker 4: them last to come by, the last little hit yeah.

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