- 5:08Speaker 1: got too difficult. I got that. I got that. But
- 5:12Speaker 1: you got to step up and be fathers. You got
- 5:15Speaker 1: to write a letter. You gotta send the money if

- 5:52Speaker 1: Sometimes you have to apologize. Sometimes an apology goes a
- 5:57Speaker 1: long way to your children. Just say, look, because I've
- 6:01Speaker 1: made this apology before. Hey, man, look, I'm sorry I
- 6:05Speaker 1: wasn't there for you. I was out grinding and hustling,
- 6:09Speaker 1: and I wasn't paying attention to you, and I should
