- 1:00so the last conversation that me and you had it wasn't planned. We didn't
- 1:03mean to do it like that, but we just kind of got into like
- 1:06the flow of this conversation, right, and I started to learn a lot
- 1:08of things about you that I didn't know a lot of things about, like
- 1:11the nuances of what you went through, and so it just kind of inspired
- 1:15some questions that I wanted to ask you, and I got a couple of
- 1:18them. But the first thing I'm gonna start with something I asked you last
- 1:19time but we could talk about it again, is obviously you can't see on
- 1:25your day to day dealings, but you told me that you still have dreams
- 1:29every day, not not every day, but them every day. And that's
- 1:32that's interesting to me because it's like, how long has it been since since
- 1:34the since you know, since I've lost my vision? Yeah, believe it
- 1:40or not. When we in Atlanta is gonna make twelve years, twelve years,
- 1:44twelve years, and so that's a long time to not to not have
- 1:48your sight. Yeah, everything changed, everything changes, but you still find
- 1:52yourself having dreams and I hate it. That's the worst thing I hate about
- 1:57being blind to dreams because you couldn't see in the dreams. You can see
- 2:01in the dreams seeing the dreams class funk? Do you look Okay? That
- 2:05makes me think, do you look forward to having dreams then, because it's
- 2:07like you get your sight back. Oh no, I don't like to have
- 2:10dreams when you it's like for that moment you seeing. But then when you
- 2:16know the littlest thing, somebody will wake you up. You get a phone
- 2:20call, you out that dream. Now you pissed off. Now when you
- 2:23pick up the phone, you mad at the person you really talking to it,
- 2:24And it's really not the fault. That's really how you be feeling.
- 2:28Yeah, shout out to DJ Chris because he always do it to me every
- 2:30time four o'clock in the morning. I'm just like, bro, what are
- 2:32you calling me for fucking up the dreams I can see in my dreams.
- 2:37So it's not the dream that pissed you off as the fact that you get
- 2:39reminded that it's temporary. Yeah, n, because when you wake up back
- 2:43to reality, and then that'd be the worst thing, because like you're seeing
- 2:46things that you really want to see, damn, and you just like damn,
- 2:50Like damn, I see my son in my dreams. Then it's like,
- 2:53yoh, I see adds in my dreams, females in my dreams.
- 2:57It's like you see people that you ain't seeing two twelve years and then when
- 3:00you wake up, it's like back to reality. You're in the dark.
- 3:04Do you have any recurrent dreams, like maybe it's there, like a place
- 3:09you find yourself going back to a lot, Dad, I got shot?
- 3:15You dream about that and crazy? And the dream is I can see myself
- 3:17on the floor. It's like I'm watching everything play out, and it's like,
- 3:23what could I do different? I had that dream for the last twelve
- 3:25years and it's nothing. They're different, really and truly besides doing twenty five
- 3:31years right now, and I wouldn't even been on this podcast. I'd have
- 3:34been in jail for murder. Wow. So it's like that shit plays in
- 3:38my head over and over and over. Wow. Different. And sometimes I
- 3:44have dreams about parties that I throw and I said, say, damn,
- 3:46like but you see the parties but you but you couldn't see it in real
- 3:52life. I can't see it in my dreams. I'm seeing the ship,
- 3:53I'm seeing the people dance, I'm seeing the people move. That shit busts
- 3:57my head the most. Wow. You're seeing the low lights, you see
- 4:00the people dance and move, and the bottles moving, and it's like everything
- 4:05just happening, but it's like I'm seeing it in my dreams. Wow.
- 4:10I appreciate those dreams though, yeah, because it's like, damn, I'm
- 4:14seeing the work that I'm playing in. I see where the money coming in
- 4:17at. But the dreams that remind me of my child, I hate those.
- 4:24They could keep those dreams and keep those. I have dreams about Cherokee,
- 4:29you know, I love those because you remember what she looked like.
- 4:31I remember how she looked. So it's like that that dreams like that would
- 4:35never go away. Hey, yoss, I'm so yo. It's so crazy
- 4:40that you brought Cherokee yo, because that's the perfect segue into my next question.
- 4:43It's almost like you, yeah, I didn't show you these, so
- 4:45it's crazy that you brought that up. But like obviously since you haven't seen
- 4:48with your eyes physically in like twelve years. But I remember talking to you
- 4:53last time and you said you still watch poring Hell yeah, changing, but
- 4:57why you can hear it? That'll put a vision to the sound man.
- 5:03Listen, Doe Cherokee. It's cleo, beauty do yod. And it's like,
- 5:11once you've seen, you've seen what you've seen them all you got to
- 5:15do is clap you know what it is, bagshots into place and go from
- 5:20there. And Scott is still there life even being an adult. It's like
- 5:25if I wasn't an adult, what I'd be doing? Do you try to
- 5:28guess people's ethnicity based off of how they sound? Hell? Yeah, can
- 5:31you tell? Sometimes I do get it right, you get it right.
- 5:34Sometimes sometimes I get it right. Sometimes it's just like I don't know.
- 5:39I was like, yo, I know you mixed for something. So do
- 5:43you when you hear certain people's like voices like like mine? For example?
- 5:46Right, what do you think is there a vision in your mind that might
- 5:51come up when you're like listening to me speak to you? See that that's
- 5:55cheap because like I listen to horrible decisions. So right understand, Yeah,
- 6:00you know it's like I already got this picture in my head of you.
- 6:02True, true, true, damn. So it's different. But like when
- 6:06I first met you, I didn't expect like the dregs and none of that.
- 6:10Yeah, based off the tone of voice. Yeah, like your tone
- 6:13of voices, like the part like your presence, like just you'll think it's
- 6:17like more like muscular. Really, I thought you was bigger than me at
- 6:23one point. No, bro, I'm like five nine was bigger than me
- 6:27at one point or like then. It's like it's like the way they described
- 6:30you, like your presence, you'd be like, oh yeah, but I'm
- 6:32like damn. I'm like damn, think I'm bigger than wolf. Now you
- 6:38are real talk like I'm like, so it's like sometimes like just going on
- 6:43for like I feel it's crazy because me being blind, I fall in love
- 6:46over voices. You feel like voices tell you a lot about a person,
- 6:51the whole story. Mm hmm, just by listening to the voice. Sometimes
- 6:56I listen to a voice and I love you with impact really, but Porto
- 7:00Rica, Dominicans and all that, Like I love Poppy and all that.
- 7:03That's just like a turnoff. It's like you're going off for a voice.
- 7:06That's why you're the blond poppy. Yeah, if you're nasty audience, the
- 7:11official blind stuff. But yeah, but I go for a voice. It's
- 7:14like like it's a security guard that works at the Friday situation. I hear
- 7:20her voice, I say, yoah, she got to me think for something.
- 7:24When I said she was like, yeah, she's training daddy and she's
- 7:29Native America she's black and VENEZUELI. I said, I know you was different.
- 7:32She's like, how you know, just like the tone of your voice
- 7:35to sound like the way you pronunciate a lot of words. I know you
- 7:39wasn't just a nigga, like I just know it. So let me ask
- 7:46you this when you decided, like every time I see you, you look
- 7:51put together. You don't never look crazy. Everything is matching the sequence and
- 7:56sequencing the way they have. I got this question asked for times this week.
- 8:01Okay, so my court addressed myself. You dress yourself? Yeah,
- 8:05how I had to till I know my clothes. I'm big on fashion,
- 8:09from my hat to my sweaters, to my shirt, to my pants to
- 8:13my sneakers. I know, I know my stuff. I'm big on fashion.
- 8:16When I go to the store, I'm looking for this and they just
- 8:20put this clothes in my hand and I'm just feeling them like I want these,
- 8:24Yeah, I want this. I want this, like based on how
- 8:26it feels when I first got shot, it was now my mother is shopping
- 8:31for me and all that. It's like, yeah, my mother nose like
- 8:35fashion and all that. She raised me. But it's like sometimes button ups
- 8:39like I ain't want to do the polos like it was just basic, true
- 8:43religions, polos constructions. I'm basic. But then after a while when Tom
- 8:48when the fashion star changed, I got to change with it. So when
- 8:52you go shopping at a store and you're you're putting your hands on fabric and
- 8:58garments, you really judging it based off for how I feel, how it
- 9:01feels, how quality it feels that if you got rips in the jeans,
- 9:05I feel for those. So if it feels add in, like I'm like
- 9:09I could throw these on with some constructions, I can wear these on Jonts
- 9:11like I masked that ship, Like I feel the bottom of the pins to
- 9:15see if it's skinny leg or boot cutting. All that. I feel for
- 9:18all that shit, right, So you know details, so you know what
- 9:20quality fabric feels like, like when it's like heavier, got that heavier,
- 9:26I know when you wash it's gonna be over to when you wash this,
- 9:30it's like you want this lasts long? But what about the color though,
- 9:33Like how are you in tune with the color? Like obviously they tell you,
- 9:35but like when you at the point where you you're waking up wiping the
- 9:39crust, that your eye. You go to the closet wherever the clothes are.
- 9:43How can you do you remember what color is? It is based on
- 9:46how it feels. Yeah, that's crazy thinking about it. Like I got
- 9:50that central Swiss. I feel this. I know this is my central swissle
- 9:56different pattern the way the stre just tied in my sweater. I know which
- 10:01one it is, right, and so like you got, I'm like,
- 10:03all right, this is my skull head sweater. Put it on, alright?
- 10:09These is my pants? Are these the ones that guy the zip on
- 10:11the side? All right? Cool? Put them on? I know,
- 10:16and I know jauntings. So it's like that ain't gonna never change. And
- 10:20I go from there. I feel my head. I know what hat it
- 10:22is, all right, this is the pe yellow al right, I'm gonna
- 10:26put this on. And so you know, and the reason why you notice
- 10:28is because there's like there's like particular little like I don't even know how to
- 10:33say it stick out like almost like brail in this but like texture wise,
- 10:37you feel like, oh this texture belongs to my blue shirt. Yeah,
- 10:41damn, put it together, like I know what this is just like my
- 10:45T shirts? All right? Cool? I know this is a regular T
- 10:46shirt. This is my polo. I can fill a polo hors at the
- 10:50bottom. Alright, cool, I take this out and go from there.
- 10:54Let me ask you this. There's let's say like when you you're shaking and
- 10:58you move and you walk in, maybe you with your son or you just
- 11:01you know, doing what you gotta do, trying to get somewhere, trying
- 11:03to get the A to B. What is it like hearing everything outside,
- 11:11like the car, the people, the wind. Like when I first lost
- 11:16my vision, I hated you because it's like it's so much going on.
- 11:20So it's like when you lose your vision, your ears is the strongest thing
- 11:26to your your vision. So it's like you depending on your ears to see.
- 11:30So you walk on the streets, you just hear everything going on.
- 11:31It's like your sens is just going off crazy. The as time went by
- 11:35to learn to focus on one thing, so you walk, you just focusing.
- 11:39So now it's like I can hear. Now I can hear ten different
- 11:43things that I won't get distracted. It won't break my concentration of what's going
- 11:48on because you're only focusing on what it is, Like I ain't focused on
- 11:50the cars driving. It's like when before I hit the cause I hear the
- 11:54engine, I'm hearing them beeping. That shit fucked me up. It distracts
- 11:58me on what's going on on me. Wow. Now when I walk,
- 12:01I tone the cars out, I hear the people around me. I know.
- 12:05Plus I know when somebody coming close. My ears closed, so I
- 12:09mean somebody is too close to me? Right. So now it's like you
- 12:13just that's that's so amazing because like obviously when you have your sight and your
- 12:18vision, it's like, well, I don't have to worry about being over
- 12:20stimulated from my ears. Depend on your heads. You see everything that's going
- 12:24on around you, right, Like you can like visually I hear somebody running.
- 12:28I could like I can feel somebody walking towards me right, Wow,
- 12:31different things people like Yo, there's such such sad Bro. I know your
- 12:35voice before you even said it. Bro, who was before you tell me?
- 12:37Bro? Like sometimes I just don't forget. Like when you walk in
- 12:41on the block, the like your ears closed because you're next to the houses.
- 12:48But the minue you coross the street, it opens up. Nah,
- 12:50you know what I've noticed that before. It's almost like a pressure you feel.
- 12:54That's just like like sometimes you walk closed in coming from everything. As
- 12:58soon you want to go to the street, everything open up. That's when
- 13:01my vision get louder. I hear everything. Then wow, you know here,
- 13:07that's amazing. So hearing you described obviously that's like that takes work right,
- 13:11you had to get I had to get used to it. You had
- 13:13to get used to that. I trust my ends instead of depending on my
- 13:16vision. When people talk about meditation, a lot of the time they'll tell
- 13:22you, like to focus in on like one thing, right, So I
- 13:26don't know. Hearing you talk about learning how to utilize your ears, it
- 13:31makes me think about when people focus on something to meditate. Have you Have
- 13:35you ever tried meditation? I never tried it. But the crazy thing about
- 13:37it is when I get an idea and I'm in my room, I got
- 13:41to come out of my room to go in the living room. Is it
- 13:43more space? Bigger space? Wait? Said that again? And when I'm
- 13:46in my room and I catch it the idea, something I got to leave
- 13:50out of my room to come in the living room to think, it's more
- 13:52space for me? You like it better in the living room. There's more
- 13:56space. I feel like when it's closed in I can't think because it's too
- 14:03much things going up, Like you hear too much in my room. So
- 14:07it's like a mother. I can't concentrate because then you're here, like the
- 14:11floor cracking or I hit a bird on an egg condition of different things.
- 14:15It's like I can't, Sorry, bet, let me leave out the room.
- 14:20I go in the living room. It's still noise and stuff, but
- 14:22it's a bigger space for me to think. I told people that they looked
- 14:26at me like I was crazy, but it's really real. I can focus
- 14:30on what I'm thinking about more when I'm in my living room, right because
- 14:33it's not as condensed. Yeah, just like they talk about me when I
- 14:37walk back and forth when I catch an idea, Yeah, I feel like
- 14:39I stand still is going to run out of my mind. So by me
- 14:43walking back and forth, I'm catching up to the idea to execute it.
- 14:46That's crazy. I heard a guy say the other day. He was like,
- 14:50as your body moves, your brain grooves, and it's kind of like
- 14:54what you're saying right now. It's like when I'm when I'm onto something,
- 14:56my mind is really like doing what to do, Like I walk around in
- 15:00our pace. That's something I've been trying to do more lately. When I'm
- 15:03thinking about like podcasts, it's like that I don't sing. That's the best
- 15:05thing you can do, bro, trust me. Yeah, don't sit down,
- 15:09like get up, moved around. I'm on the phone. I walk
- 15:11back and forth like can you stop moving? Making me nervous. But if
- 15:15I sit down, I'm gonna lose my train of thought. You're gonna lose
- 15:16your trainer thought. Even when I'm walking outside, I talk to myself.
- 15:20So you be looking like that, is this nigga crazy? But when really
- 15:26it's like I'm talking to make it make sense to myself. Yeah, you're
- 15:28getting in tune with yourself, making it make sense to myself. Once myself
- 15:31agree with myself, this is this is the idea. Shoot it. I
- 15:37got something and it's been working as far because it's like, do these parties.
- 15:43I got three other people that depend on me to make these parties happen.
- 15:46So evidently what I'm doing is working. So why stop it because somebody
- 15:50think I'm crazy? Do you feel like you hear the voice of God?
- 15:58Yeah? All the time? What is what is that? Like when you
- 16:00hear the voice of guy? What is that like to you. It's how
- 16:04would you describe it? It's silent, but just little signs and little things
- 16:11that he like he touch you with you feel it. It's like the comfort
- 16:18of somebody hands around like arms around you. It's just like that I heard
- 16:22it from when I got shot. It's like I'm gonna do this for you,
- 16:27but you gotta do this for me. I accepted it, and it's
- 16:32like every time I get to that point when it's I feel like yo,
- 16:34it's done, is over. He come back and remind me, like what
- 16:38contract I saun with him? Now I gotta get back up. I gotta
- 16:42keep doing I can't. I can't stop now, gotta keep moving, gotta
- 16:45keep going. Sometimes I walk like little thing like I walk my headphones in
- 16:52a song, come on them, like I wasn't listening to the song,
- 16:56but it's like it's that message. Sometimes it be man, fuck shit,
- 17:00I ain't doing it. And then I go on TikTok and then it's a
- 17:03video that motivates me like like damn, I can't give up. It's God
- 17:08reminded me like I brought you back for a reason. You can't go back
- 17:12on your You can't go back on the deal. Now, it ain't a
- 17:17death row illuminati that people might want to make it seen. But it's like,
- 17:22like I brought you back for a reason, not to me people getting
- 17:25shot in the leg and die. Yeah, I hit twice in the head,
- 17:26So absolutely, bro, I brought you head to it for you to
- 17:30be my voice. Yeah, so you got to make your job, keep
- 17:36it going. I remember last time we were having this conversation, you was
- 17:41kind of explaining to me. He was explaining to me about how frustrating it
- 17:47was getting adjusted to this new way of life. And you were explaining to
- 17:49me how as you were trying to get adjusted to all of this stuff,
- 17:56you were really angry, and you, being angry started to change the way
- 18:00your relationship used to used to be with your girl. And you were telling
- 18:04me that your girl was your she's your best friend. But when you were
- 18:07trying to get used to this new life, like it was harder for you
- 18:12to be that same person that she once knew because you it was it was
- 18:15hard for you to get adjusted to all of this. Yeah. One of
- 18:19the things that you were telling me is that she didn't want to be with
- 18:23you again because you had changed. Do you tell me about that. It's
- 18:33the crazy thing about it is like we fake had an argument. It's like
- 18:37it's not even the fact that I like, you know, let's be together,
- 18:41it's the fact for you to accept I wasn't a person that you knew.
- 18:45So it's it's like if a person high on drugs and everything, you
- 18:52know, this ain't that person acting now acting crazy? How can you hold
- 18:56them responsible for what they do? That's how you feel, That's how I
- 19:00feel. So it's like I felt like I was you laid like you laying
- 19:06next to me, someone that you love, consider like your best friend,
- 19:08you everything. But I'm a different person. So it's like you you forgot
- 19:17who I once was because it's like this monster took over and you are you
- 19:22saying that you would have liked for her to still see the better party?
- 19:27Like, are you saying that you would have liked her to give you some
- 19:32grace for what you was going through? Is that what you're doing? Yeah,
- 19:33don't forget who I was. Yeah, even though you wasn't acting like
- 19:37that guy you was, It's like you it's like, be based on lifeful
- 19:41for me being a monster? Right? Yeah? People, Oh you're not.
- 19:45I was a monster. Like understand that I was wildent, tweaking,
- 19:48angry, didn't care who I hurt because I was hurt, So why should
- 19:52I kid if you hurt taking pills. I'm drinking. I didn't care about
- 19:57nothing. It's like I'm just waiting for my DA to punch out. Yeah,
- 20:00you were telling me that you at some point you actually got addicted to
- 20:03pills Perks. She's number my pain. He is my pain, and it
- 20:08was it was better for everybody because now I want to Perk. I'm not
- 20:11worried about what you're doing because I'm so high over here. I ain't tripping.
- 20:15But when I come off that perk, your body start hurting. You
- 20:18can see the dumbest ship and I'm snapping. Your body start hurting. It's
- 20:22like a like a side effect. Perks take the ships hurt, you gotta
- 20:27pop another one. You feel out high again. That's how people get addicted
- 20:32to him. Yeah, I remember one time, because it's like you constantly
- 20:36in pain, even you probably not even in pain, but you feel like
- 20:37you're in pain. You need it. I got my appendance removed. I
- 20:42wanted that pain. I needed the pills. That's why you got the pills
- 20:47in the first place, because you had your appending. Remove gave it when
- 20:49I first got when I got the perks, I got shot. That's why
- 20:52they gave it you. They sent me home with them, so the appendings
- 20:56removed. That's a whole different, separate thing. I was taking oxes on
- 20:59my appendence. The shit had me feel like I was working on the clouds,
- 21:02and that's why they removed your appendance because of the Oxyes, my appendance
- 21:07was flared up, so they had to do emergency surgery because if it would
- 21:11have burst, I would have died. The poison would have went through my
- 21:12body. Now, mind you, this ship is four months in between me
- 21:17get shot. That's what I was about to say, So damn So I
- 21:18said that. I said, damn God, you ain't giving me no breaks
- 21:21at all. I got shot at April, taking my appendance out in August.
- 21:26I love my mother in there, I'm crying. I'm like, y'all,
- 21:29I'm ready to give the funk up. It's like, what the fuck
- 21:32did I do to God that I'm going through this ship. I just got
- 21:33shot down my appendance just like I'm in there, and they were like,
- 21:37yo, how long you just let me been hurt. I said, just
- 21:40last night, and it ain't nowhere in the hell. It' still started hurting
- 21:44last night and it's flared up like this, Yeah, because they like the
- 21:47way we looking at the way we seeing this ship. Nigga, this shit
- 21:48been bad. Yeah, And I'm like, nah, just last night,
- 21:52Wow, flared up. I'm like, Didna, this shit is different.
- 21:56I said, what the fuck? Like, I'm you're breaking me down and
- 21:59re build me how you want me to rebuild? I was angry at the
- 22:03world. Came home. They sent me home with oxis. Man, they
- 22:07didn't know what they did with my oxy in the room. I started spassing
- 22:10on everybody, cursing everybody out, and they're like, yo, we're just
- 22:12trying to help you. Help me is finding them pills, take them pills.
- 22:18Once them pills got in my system, I laid down and he drugged.
- 22:22I just laid down. He was good again, good to go.
- 22:26I used to get mad, come in and looking for my stuff, can't
- 22:27find it. They could just clean up my room, fold my clothes up.
- 22:30I'm throwing everything on the floor. I ain't give a fuck. Yeah,
- 22:33that's another You're really good at recounting this story, because again, like,
- 22:38I'm going over the notes based off the last conversation we had, and
- 22:41one of the things that I really want you to tap into is you were
- 22:45telling me that your girl would clean up and then you would throw shit back
- 22:49on the floor after she just cleaned. It. Didn't care. It was
- 22:56and it wasn't like a nasty I don't care. It is like you trying
- 23:02to tap into the dog when I'm trying to get out this shit, right,
- 23:04So it was like we in two different worlds. Stop pushing me back
- 23:08into this dark hole when I'm trying to get the fuck to the light where
- 23:11you at. And the thing is she was trying to understand she was trying
- 23:15to help you. She thought she was helping you by doing that, so
- 23:18she turned the lights off and shit like that to try to get closer to
- 23:21you in some kind of way. Everybody did right blindfold theyself cry, walked
- 23:26down the whole way cry. I said, yeah, y'all, but y'all
- 23:30crying for that second. The many take that blondfold off, you can see
- 23:33it again. What I don't understand why they would have a blindfold on,
- 23:37though, Like, what was that like to feel what I was going through?
- 23:40Right? It's like, you know, sometimes you try to put yourself
- 23:42in that person's shoot to see like why they're so angry, Like what it
- 23:47is? Like, Yeah, you know you lost your vision, but what
- 23:49is it to this? Some people can washing the dog? Yeah they really.
- 23:55You think about it, like the blackout, everybody went crazy when there
- 23:59was no electricity all. Like I got no electricity at all, and it's
- 24:03twelve years. That blackout only lasted for what a day? Twelve years?
- 24:07So it's like trying to keep conscious of that, like keep your nerves together
- 24:12to say, I can't go crazy today. I can't go crazy today.
- 24:17Can't go crazy today that you gotta keep reminding yourself, can't go crazy today,
- 24:22just moving on with life. Life. Life is a bad way every
- 24:25day. People don't understand that. Wow, Like I have more arguments trying
- 24:32to show people that I was not that person that you that I was when
- 24:37I got shot. Yeah that's what. I don't care about the relationships.
- 24:41I don't care about sleeping, I don't care about none of that. But
- 24:45just see me for who I once was, not who I became. Yea
- 24:48all that. Yeah the bullshit, it's like you wanted me to to maintain
- 24:53to be the same person when I didn't even know who the fuck I was
- 24:56at that point the time I done spased on my siblings, all of them.
- 25:02You told me you punched your friend. Yeah. My cousin puss him
- 25:06in his mouth, choked my sister. I told my old my sister,
- 25:10that's under me. I feel like break on my face. My little brother,
- 25:12I choked him, had him on the floor to pick up my phone.
- 25:15Wow. I put my hands my child, mother my eggs like I
- 25:18was tweaking. I don't think the only person that could really come over and
- 25:22stop me is my mom's what would your mom don I just couldn't talk once
- 25:27she told her my grandmother, I mean my grandfather. He talked to me.
- 25:32It's like I just calmed down. He calmed down all that. I
- 25:34just see rad Wow, like when I'm when I was hyped up, pumped
- 25:40up. Nah, I go back to the day I got shot. I
- 25:42can't let nobody hurt me, not knowing like nigga is your siblings. This
- 25:47shit cousin is like, like they not here to hurt you. Then me
- 25:52and my cousin was fighting, my grandmother trying to grab me in the first
- 25:56thing that came to my mom. Y'are trying to joke me. So what
- 25:59I did? My cousin in the bathroom cleaned his mouth. I'm like,
- 26:00I'm not finished, not finished. I'm like, come look outside fight.
- 26:06I'm walking out the door. They closed the door and let me know away.
- 26:11My mother came't like what was going on, but I was so pumped
- 26:14up. I wasn't finished. I wasn't finished because in my mom, you
- 26:18got the best of me that time. Yeah, around two and last time
- 26:21somebody got the best of you. You lost your vision. So it's like,
- 26:25I would never let a person get that edge over me again. Wow,
- 26:27if I feel like a person gonna do, I'm swinging first because you
- 26:30don't got time to waste. You can't can't make that. I ain't let
- 26:33nobody get that close to me again. It's over. You can tell the
- 26:37difference when I'm in the studio and relaxed, but when I'm outside, my
- 26:41posture is different. Like people will see it, like I I can tell
- 26:47the where he's staying, I can tell the way he moved, where he
- 26:48looked. They won't try that nigga right there. It's different. A lot
- 26:53of people don't know. I can't even see. It's like you bumped me.
- 26:59You you like you hitting the wall. I'm tighten up when I walked,
- 27:04So it's like I'm two thirty. I could do something with this.
- 27:08I could do something to try it. You're definitely bigger than me. Bro,
- 27:14I ain't never been to thirty. Yeah, everything about I was one
- 27:17ninety. I got shot, I went down to one forty, came home.
- 27:22I said, nah, I'm walking. The wind is blowing me.
- 27:23I said, nah, I can't. I can't win. You can feel
- 27:26the wind like, yeah, pushing me, pushing your frame, clothes falling
- 27:30off me. And I said, nah, I feel too light. I
- 27:32don't like this. Yeah, it's not I need. I need, Yeah,
- 27:34the eyes out of my head. They gave me steel rods to put
- 27:37it there. I just took advantage. Cool, I'm taking the still roads.
- 27:41I'm gonna work out with it, Start getting my way back, start
- 27:44feeling good. The next thing you know, it's just like eating you laying
- 27:48down. You ain't doing nothing. The weight just start hitting. Wait,
- 27:51what was the what were they giving you the steroids for? Originally for my
- 27:53eyes to go back inside, to go back inside of your Yeah, the
- 27:56bullets pushed my eyes out of my head. So the steroid was helping your
- 28:00eyes stay in place. That steroids pushing my eyes back and so my eye
- 28:03lies. My eye lids could close. Oh wow, my eye lids was
- 28:07open. So they always put like cream and drop ointment so it can stay
- 28:12moist. Wow. They was out of my head. Now they're back in
- 28:18place. How long did you have to text steroids gave it to me.
- 28:21It was like two weeks worth a day, one a day, and you
- 28:26just working. I was just working out with it. Then it's like I
- 28:30started getting my weight. Then I just started eating, sleeping, drinking.
- 28:34It's like, yeah, the weight came on. It is like God,
- 28:38damn, now I'm trying to lose it. That's crazy. I feel heavier.
- 28:42This is the heaviest I've been. Like, I feel heavy. I
- 28:45gotta get rid of this shit. God, I went from my large to
- 28:48extra large. I'm like, Noah, gotta get rid of this shit.
- 28:52This weight off of me, this waight off me. When when you were
- 28:56you said something a minute ago that like that really resonated me with we really
- 29:00deeply. You said you got shot and then four months later you had to
- 29:06get a surgery and like when you said that, bro, like that shit
- 29:11just it shook me because in my mind I'm thinking the same thing you thinking.
- 29:15I'm like, yo, like God, what's up? Can't get a
- 29:18break? Like, Yo, what's up with you? Like, ain't you
- 29:19supposed to be God? Yo? Like this, Like what I went through
- 29:23wasn't traumatic enough. At that point, I had gave up on God.
- 29:29I said, Nah, it's like being you at Wallah at that time.
- 29:32I used to tell you, I say, yo, like I understand y'all,
- 29:36y'all believe in God and all this, but a lot of devil was
- 29:38whipping gone ass right now because I'm getting my ass whip right now, Like
- 29:42what's going on? Oh, put your faith in God, but I'm getting
- 29:47my ass whip right now. Did it ever make you question if God was
- 29:49real? Yeah? I always question it. Now I don't. It's like
- 29:55I'm still here. So it's like, but I question a lot of things.
- 29:57Yeah, how could you not? Though I don't even think saying question
- 30:02God? Yeah, like I was about to say, I think there's there's
- 30:07certain types, certain religious types of people, and it's not to talk down
- 30:11on them, but I think they would hear you say that, and they
- 30:12would like the face up. Yeah, they would rebuttle your question and be
- 30:17like, how could you question God? But it's like, but honestly speaking,
- 30:19though, I just almost lost my life in a real way to flip
- 30:23the question and say what have you ever been through that you? Yeah,
- 30:27that you wouldn't question? Yeah, to the point where you got you get
- 30:30pushed the questioning God. Some people never went through nothing that they had no
- 30:34reason to question them. That's true. I just passed my EMT, but
- 30:38they going to the EMT Academy. It got shot, That's true. I
- 30:41had a whole career going on and I got shot. So why I cannot
- 30:47question them? Twenty one years old? How can I not question them?
- 30:52Just like when you look at the news, it's like when you see these
- 30:55innocent kids, like what do they do to deserve a lot of this shit
- 30:57that's going on? Yeah? How you and not question him? Yeah?
- 31:02It's like no, I mean I don't feel nothing wrong with questioning it.
- 31:06Do you think God looks down on us for questioning him? I feel like
- 31:11he shouldn't. If it is, if it, if it's in a Bible
- 31:15that said he looked down on you by questioning him. I feel you shouldn't.
- 31:18I just that's just my opinion. Yeah, how you questioning I'm your
- 31:22child, I should be able to cry. I question my mom. I
- 31:25questioned my mama when she do certain things like I questioned like that that I
- 31:29feel like when you question them, donated supposed to make your bond and your
- 31:33relationship stronger. That makes sense to me, That's what I'm saying. How
- 31:36would you know how a person feel if you don't question them, especially because
- 31:42again, it's like the situation that you went through is most people would never
- 31:47go through. They'll never know what that's like like to a lot of people.
- 31:51Most people to die on that floor, the man, to a lot
- 31:53of people their worst day, you won't even compare, won't even be one
- 31:57fifth of what that day was. And then now only did you survive that
- 32:00and you got through that, but then four months later you gotta go.
- 32:04You don't even want to see a hospital, You don't want to see no
- 32:07doctors in the damn hospital. Then you have to go back like stayed in
- 32:10the damn hospital. Pendance fucked up in there. Man, different shit,
- 32:15How do you how do you get to a place where you make peace?
- 32:20With God when you got when you just feel like everything is falling apart,
- 32:24how long does it take for you to make peace with God? Not for
- 32:29none? It's like I'm training when I hit the floor to get back up.
- 32:34So it's like I don't put it in God his no more. I
- 32:37looked at it like you bought me this far. I could take it the
- 32:39rest of the way. M my son healthy. I ain't cool. I'm
- 32:44good Like if if you got to shower with Him with all the blessings that
- 32:49are I supposed to be having, I'm cool with that. But it's like
- 32:52I just I feel like something not for nothing. I feel like some people
- 32:55just make the God think as an excuse to life a lot of things.
- 33:00To be honest, Oh, I feel like God, God give me to
- 33:02sign on. God got to push me. That starts with you. It
- 33:07start with you. Sometimes you could be waiting for God forever to give you
- 33:10that push. Yeah, that's real. Somewhere in the Bible will say,
- 33:15I like, I know a lot of scripture because I heard it growing up
- 33:17in the church, but I don't. I can't. I can't tell you
- 33:20where to actually going and find it. But somewhere in the Bible will say
- 33:22faith without works is dead. Yeah, so you send them. They ain't
- 33:25for God to push you, but you're not doing the work. What says
- 33:28did that make? Yeah? I keep moving, keep I keep myself motivated,
- 33:34I keep myself moving. Anything that God put them on the table,
- 33:37I appreciate it, Like this is the blessing for me to this How you
- 33:39rewarded me for doing the work. I'm not set up there letting God just
- 33:43drop everything in my life. Be honest, i'd be. I might be
- 33:45waiting forever on God time. You're not promised tomorrow. So I'm gonna make
- 33:52every day that I am on this earth for count every second. Make this
- 33:55shit count. Like Walla said, some ship like on the tolling Stone they
- 34:00got the day you was born and day you died. But dad dash,
- 34:04I'm gonna make that ship break dance. But they're gonna they definitely gonna have
- 34:07to put a fucking Bible out of this ship. I did. But when
- 34:12I leave this HURF, I know I'm doe for a street. That's why
- 34:19I was saying, like you know you you you texted me and you were
- 34:23saying, like, y'all, I'm gonna be in Atlanta at this date and
- 34:27for a festival, and if you want to come, I got a extra
- 34:29ticket for you. And like the reason why, Like I'm feeling conflicted because
- 34:32I'm kind of like damn, like I feel like I gotta work, you
- 34:36know, I gotta do this, I gotta do that. But like even
- 34:37listening to you talk right now, like essentially what you're saying is like I
- 34:42understand why it's important to enjoy life and then not for that, sometimes you
- 34:45gott jump out the window opportunity. It's more opportunities out there waiting for you.
- 34:50Man, you could be missing an opportunity by being in here on that
- 34:52day. Never know, that's a fact. Bro. You know how to
- 34:57do the person right, y'all need you out here in Atlanta? Oh what
- 35:01doing white? Now? You you running a big ass podcast, getting into
- 35:06some whole other ship. Now different different. Now we need you have power
- 35:10of Now, we need you have black effect. We need you to cut
- 35:13up these clips. Now, we need you to be to produce this,
- 35:15this, this this right now, that one flight opened up like ten dollars
- 35:21for you. Now you can't miss that. You can't going to Atlanta,
- 35:27mother, Like, oh, who's gonna go with you said, then I
- 35:30thought about it. I my sister. I can depend on how I'll get
- 35:34Fuck. I pay for our flights in the hotel. We're out. Yeah,
- 35:37we're out. I don't worry about it. Just make sure you just
- 35:38bring an outfit. Were out because I know she's gonna do the work.
- 35:42I bring flyers out there. She's gonna walk around the past them ships out.
- 35:45Yeah. We hit a network. Yeah, we hit to work like
- 35:47cunting my parties who have my dog. She is collecting my money at the
- 35:52end of the night. She putting the money together. These twenty, these
- 35:54hundreds, we sent their counter together. We pay everybody. Alright, cool,
- 35:59we're out. When you hear about people who they have their site,
- 36:05they have their everything. These are fully able people. They can there's nothing
- 36:08holding them back physically. But you hear about people being lazy. Shit pissed
- 36:15me off the most because how you let all go to waste. Mm hmm,
- 36:20I'm here, I'm out here. You no lie being disabled, You
- 36:23you gotta work ten times harder, right when it's like you don't got no
- 36:27excuses to do shit, Like some people fill out the application online and feel
- 36:30like they did something like nigga, did you get your ass up and go
- 36:35to the store and see if you can get a job. Some people let
- 36:38their private like get the best of them that they can't feel like they can't
- 36:42work at McDonald's. But you could pick up the foe to ask me for
- 36:45a dollar. How did that work? Man? I feel like that they're
- 36:51just a waste. It's like, put yourself in my shoes. Let me
- 36:53see how you canna handle it. Because I do anything just to see it
- 36:57again. I think around probably had two jobs right now, like really,
- 37:04but matter of fact, I take that back. If I could see it
- 37:07again, I would not work for nobody though. Yeah, I still do
- 37:10what I'm doing. I'll just be ten times better because I had to be
- 37:14ten times I had to work ten times harder to get where I'm at now.
- 37:16Yeah, now me singeing. Now, with this mentality, I got
- 37:21gonna be dangerous. Do you think that the way that you work, even
- 37:27with your disability, Like you work so hard though you know what I mean,
- 37:30and you're so consistent with your passion and your hustle. Do you think
- 37:32your son watching you do all that is teaching him how to be a hard
- 37:37working man? Yeah? I get on his nerves too, like you think
- 37:39it's gonna give him an advantage over his classmates. He competitive. Now,
- 37:45yeah, my son is a hustler. It's like I'm like, yo,
- 37:49do this for me, and it's like I'm getting on his nerves. But
- 37:53I could throw twenty hours on the table, send these messages, he is
- 37:58said, there and send sixty just for that twenty hours just to get pizza.
- 38:02Not you're free. You gotta work for this. But he learned how
- 38:05that the importance of iron early. Yeah, he's spent my money before he
- 38:09spend his. I don't know he got money in his bank account, but

- 38:53Do you Do you ever feel like you can hear what people not saying through
- 38:58their tone of voice. Yeah, on his bullshit. I know when people
- 39:01is really for me, Like he shout out to my son Castro before I
- 39:07even like we got in tuned with each other with the parties. I just
- 39:10like his energy stuck with me. So he was having a birthday party coming
- 39:16up. We just seen each other. We just like, what up keeping
- 39:19pushing. He came in the club. I said, yo, bro,
- 39:21make me a flyer, a whole flyer for what your party like? How
- 39:24much you want? I want nothing? He loved, you want nothing,
- 39:29but everybody else hold about giving him a bottle and this money. I don't
- 39:31one night. And why I'm building a bridge. I don't care about it.
- 39:37Like people think about the now, they don't think about the future.
- 39:40Nah, we building bridges. This bridge right here could go a long way.
- 39:45Let me see how by me wanting to build his bridge, you on
- 39:50the other side, let me see if you're gonna give me the same energy
- 39:52too. Once the energy was recycled reciprocated. Nah, you're my dog for
- 39:57life. Now, hey, count the money. Let how much it was.
- 40:00I could even know that you're gonna count the money and it's gonna be

- 40:24tone in their voice and in the back of my mind and my faces.
- 40:28Persons tell it all. My sister text me, fix your face. I'm
- 40:32like this bullshit or they talking out to percent of the y'all hear you,

- 40:47the tone. It's like, this is not my person, it's not
- 40:50my type. Being a club and I'm next to a speaker, you're still
- 40:52there trying to talk to me, to explain something to me, to try
- 40:55to convince me to do something. It's bullshit. That's how I look at
- 41:00it. Why because you're gonna wait to I'm in a better predicament to really
- 41:07hear what you gotta say, to tell me what you instead of telling me

- 42:52morning back. Let me ask you this do you do you have? This
- 43:00is an interesting one. Do you have a favorite memory since you haven't had
- 43:04your vision in these twelve years, do you have a favorite memory, like
- 43:07some one of your best moments since you since you haven't had your sight,
- 43:12something that when you reflect on it, it makes you feel good, makes
- 43:15you smile. That goes back when I took my son into the park for
- 43:19the first time and put him on the swing m and just he laughed and
- 43:22pushing him back and forth. Stick with me because it's like I went out
- 43:27being the father. I lost my vision being the father. So it's like
- 43:31that makes me go even harder being a father now. And when you reflect
- 43:35on that moment, I see when I see it, when I can see
- 43:37his face in that swing, say to myself, is a reason for me
- 43:40to be here? That's my reason? Be checking out felling on him?
- 43:45No, I can't do that. That's my reason. It's your reason.
- 43:49Yeah, that's my purpose. That's the only reason you need. That's the
- 43:52only reason I need. Wow him, I could go get the world and
- 43:58know or that I could win. Wow, I'm that confident man. I
- 44:02got him behind me on nobody else. I go against the world. Wow.
- 44:07We be good to go. We locked in and we just go from
- 44:10there. Wow. Oh yeah, bro, that's amazing. Bro for real,
- 44:20let me ask you some just completely random ship now. Okay, So
- 44:22do you ever go swimming? Yeah? I still What the fuck is it
- 44:25like being in the water, Like, what is that life for you?
- 44:29Scary? It's scary, like swimming blind? It is scary. Explain that,
- 44:35help us and bring us into your world real quick. All right.
- 44:37I ain't getting the ocean swimming. That's too open for me. Yeah for
- 44:42sure. But in the pool it's like I feel like I'm swimming into a
- 44:49dark lake, dark cave because it's dark. You don't know where you're swimming
- 44:54too. Yeah, you don't really have it. It's hard to have a
- 44:57truth. And you can't hear underwater. I can't. Oh, I ain't
- 45:01thinking about that. The only thing I say, I'm like, when you
- 45:06swimming before my eyes open? Swimming now like its ducks. It's like if
- 45:09I'm drowning. So it's like your mind is playing tricks on you. Oh
- 45:14wow, I'm drowning. I'm swimming like I'm floating. Can I breathe?
- 45:19It's like all that should go into place because you really, I guess the
- 45:22only sense that you have to depend on is your touch. So it's like
- 45:27if you like, yeah, right, but you can't grab nothing, so
- 45:30you really just like rather push me in the water than I thought I was
- 45:34dying? Like how you dying at four feet? Stand up? You don't
- 45:37really know that somebody who told you to push me in the water? Bro
- 45:43Right now, let me ease my way in the water, right, I
- 45:45ain't nah if you depending on me to save you falling over? Somebody got
- 45:52live to tell the story, and it's gonna be me. I'm not wasting
- 45:57my life to try to No, it's quiet for that. I can't.
- 46:00I can't do it. S I'm gonna steal a tape of Nigga man be
- 46:04getting Can I get some floaties? Fuck that? Like even going on like
- 46:09going away the excursions. I want to jump off cliffs and ship but then
- 46:15my my mind is what, like I survived three bullets, I'm gonna DoD
- 46:22jumping off a cliff. You have to jump over. Yeah, I feel
- 46:25it's a life jacket. Yeah, I see you. Yeah, it's just
- 46:30certain ship. It's like I'm good, my life, My life is thrill
- 46:34enough. Oh it's people down there. If anything, the water is shallow
- 46:38people one. When I'm jumping, it's a long it's a long way down
- 46:44because it's like you don't know when you're gonna hit the water yet. So
- 46:46it's like my heart fucking around might stop before I hit the water. Like
- 46:52it hurt harder. It hurts more when you get hit unexpected. Yeah,
- 46:58I oppose when you can see the point you preparing and so forward, So
- 47:01if somebody punch you or I can't see it, it hurts me more.
- 47:07I think I remember one time you were explaining to me that your version of
- 47:13seeing people is you can see they shadow. Can you explain that a little
- 47:17bit, like help bring us into your world or like what what is that?
- 47:21If you could explain it as best you could, Like shadow, it's
- 47:24like it's not the figure. You just see a like black a black dot,
- 47:30a black dot. When they moving you can see the movements and all
- 47:35that. You know, when they moving left, they moving right right,
- 47:37like different things outside, Like when it's real bright outside, you got a
- 47:43better pitch off the shadow you might see the structure of they body. It
- 47:47ain't exactly yeah, but what it is, but it's good enough. It's
- 47:52good enough. You know you're dealing with a person. I know when somebody
- 47:55walking towards me, it is like if we even if you was trying to
- 48:01approach me on that type of time, and I don't know exactly where you
- 48:05at, but I see that shadow you at least know you gotta I'm going
- 48:09off that boy like I play fight in the house with my son. I
- 48:13hear I can hear you breathing when I'm locked in. I can hear you
- 48:15breathing to a point I know where you're at. And then I'm gonna get
- 48:21so close to you that you're gonna feel uncomfortable. I got you now,
- 48:23Yeah, because they in their mind they'd be like, yo, highest nigger
- 48:28keeping up with me. How he's staying with me. I'm trying to move
- 48:31around, and it's like he own it. But it's like even with that,
- 48:36it's like you got to bring people into your world or of trying to
- 48:39fight the fight, and they were now you know, open space, they
- 48:44got you. But if you up close and they really don't got no movements
- 48:47and they boxed in. Now they they fighting your fight. Now you don't
- 48:52got but so much to move. But I know what I could do.
- 48:58It's over if you for all the people that's listening here, if you could
- 49:07give them some advice or some wisdom maybe something. Maybe you know, they
- 49:15going through their life and they complaining about and we complain about it. That's
- 49:17what we do as human beings, right. But once we hear somebody else's
- 49:22story, and once we realize that somebody else is carrying a whole different type
- 49:25of way that we can never understand, sometimes it humbles us and then like
- 49:28it grounds us and make us understand, Like all right, let me stop
- 49:31bitching, you know what I mean? Because shit could be different. What
- 49:35advice as we as we come into a close what advice would you give somebody
- 49:39to help them realize that there's a brighter side of things and maybe their life
- 49:44is not as bad as they think it is. Focus on the good,
- 49:46need a negative in the past. It's like people gonna wake up Monday thinking
- 49:52about wappings Sunday knowing that you guys, Tuesday in front of you, you
- 49:59got Wednesday in front of you, got Thursday in front of you, got
- 50:00Friday in front of you, got sat in front of you. Damn,
- 50:04damn, damn Sunday again. It's why the fuck I'm focusing on what happened
- 50:07twenty four hours ago? Right, people wake up and the first thing they
- 50:13oh, damn. I didn't like the way that person said this. I
- 50:15didn't like the way that person did this. I didn't like the way this
- 50:17happened. I staid to thank God. Damn. You ain't even think God
- 50:21that you woke up today. Yeah, you ain't even thank God that you
- 50:23got vision. You ain't think God that you could if he could hit that
- 50:28floor. You ain't think God that you got a job, you got a
- 50:30roof over your head, you got food in your frigerator. It's people that's
- 50:32waking up tomorrow without none of that shit. It's some people that's not waking
- 50:37up at all. So what is we tripping over? I feel like a
- 50:40lot of shit we complaining about it. It don't make no sense to complain.
- 50:45I can't stay mad at person, wow, because I know how life,
- 50:49how shure life is. So even if you fucked me over, you
- 50:52did me wrong, I'm not gonna stay mad at you because golf of b
- 50:54it is how happened to you? Is it is gonna hurt me, It's
- 50:57gonna affect me. I got a relationship with you. But what I'm mad
- 51:00about shit that happened yesterday or last week, or even two or three years
- 51:04ago. I put that shit behind me. Why it's going to kill you
- 51:07even more knowing that I'm not mad at you. So it's like my advice
- 51:13that I give people is stop complaining and run a race, because the shit
- 51:17you complain about might be mine. And shit, it's people out here that
- 51:22don't know when they next Miller is. It's people out here that's blonde but
- 51:27don't got the proper courage, health courage, people that's in wheelchairs that live
- 51:35a life, and you walk in and you miserable or something is wrong.
- 51:39You know. Sometimes, bro, it's funny because in a lot of ways,
- 51:45though you might not be able to physically see, in a lot of
- 51:47ways, you actually see what actually needs to be seen, and sometimes people
- 51:52with vision don't see at all. Well, I look at it like shout
- 51:57out to Frenchy. I see Frenchie moving moving. A couple other people that
- 52:01are bumping to on TikTok and Instagram, they moving and it's like we really
- 52:08guide disabilities that can really funck us over and hold us back because like little
- 52:15shit, what if that sensor rite never comes for frenchie? She missed the
- 52:21whole podcast episode. Right when you have the ability to go on and train,
- 52:29to take a cab to do different shit, you still complaining. Now,
- 52:34we're making the best out of it. We're working ten times harder to
- 52:36get where we're at. So why is if we're not tripping? Why the
- 52:38fuck is you tripping? Some people are lay down on the couch or day
- 52:43and complain, complain and complaining. It's like, what did you do to
- 52:45make your life better? I don't know. I don't I feel like they

- 54:00got relocated and all like cool. I reach out, like I see homeless
- 54:07people. People always ask so why are you giving them money? You don't
- 54:09know what they're doing. Once I give them them money, whatever they do
- 54:14after that is out of my hands. Yeah, I did my part.
- 54:16I'm blessed for what I just did. I hope they do the right thing
- 54:21for it. But at the end of the day, I'm not mad what

- 55:14to win. That should have fuck a lot of people up. That should
- 55:19have go with a lot of people had. Don't be scared to fail,
