Do I feel weak cause certain things you get what I'm saying? Just be running through a whole Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: list of things. I'm like, damn. Just let that shit go. Jhalil: Shit, bro. Deion: And to let it go, like my mind be like, No, nigga No. So I get it. So that's why I'm Jhalil: No, but bro, everybody got their jaw like real shit, that's yours, bro. That's that's your thing. Deion: No, but I wanna say, like, that's why I be thinking like this, so I let people know that so when you see the news and you see these things in real life with the young bulls and everybody, like you gotta really think about everything. You get what I'm saying? Like, think about everything. Cause he could be thinking like, damn. I gotta do this shit. Or you know what I'm saying? Like, it the mind shit will drive you the fuck crazy, bro. To a point like, yo, like if I don't go get whatever it is, I ain't gonna be able to sit still. I ain't gonna be able to move forward from it. You feel me? And that could be from a chemical imbalance, it can be from you know, mental, you know, programming and all of that type shit. You get what I'm saying? Like, I'd be like, damn man, we ought to take easy on each other. Like, I told you, but people be ready to sentence you to life, man. Like you do one little thing. And it it's crazy because you know deep down inside, the person that sentenced you to to life probably did the same shit over and over again. Jhalil: Yeah. And that shit had you booked too. You feel me? 'Cause it's like, damn, bro, like all right, like this this like this person, dog, we we always had this accord and they did me dirty, so now I'm done. But at the same time, like you get them life now, you got life too. Cause it's like everything about the person or everything that y'all accomplish or do together, that shit is over. And it's like that's kinda harder. You me? Like especially if it's somebody you fuck with. That's why I was like, bro, we we can't give out the elbows, bro. That's some judge shit, like. But like, I ain't gonna lie, dog. Like, like how you said you always think about shit and all that, bro. That's that's your drone, bro. You a natural thinker. You feel me? So that's just that's a automatic, like. Real shit. Like my shit is like having my shit balanced, like. When shit not balanced, bro, my shit get knocked off easy as shit. Like I'm getting a little bit better with with age, you feel me? But like certain shit it'll throw my whole balance off. Now shit ain't going right. You mean? So it's like now I be trying to stay away from certain shit, bro. It's just for me. Like I think about shit too, but I got the ability to be like, all right, I think about it, weigh it out real quick, and then I come up with a solution real fast. Like It ain't like a overthinking too bad about it or like, you know, a over analyzing it too bad for me, but it's just like my attitude shit, bro, that should be crazy, dog. Cause like that should've fucked up other shit that is that's supposed to come when you in that you know, when niggas get in that mood. So it's like now I be trying to stay away from that shit, bro. Like you you know, we been talking the last couple weeks and all. I'm like, damn man, shit a little slow. Like I'm a little hurt. Feel me? And then the drones came through or whatever. Couple jobs came through. I was back. Then I'm like, damn, fucking fridge stopped working again, bro. I'm like, damn, now I'm gonna buy a new fridge. I'ma had to do this. Then I'm like, nah, bro, fuck all that. Let me get on the drone. I'ma I'ma at least see what's up with this drone, bro. I looked at a couple videos, bro. I took that shit apart in the inside of the freezer. It was all this ice, cleared the ice out, cleaned the join up, tightened it up, that shit right back active. But I'm like, damn, if I would have just been stuck in that like, damn, I gotta get a new frizz, did it I would have wasted some fucking bread. You feel Deion: Yeah. Jhalil: me? Like It's like, man, that shit is it's hard at the time dealing with that bullshit. But it's like, man, everything really happened for a reason, bro. That shit is all the test, dog. Like and like every day, everybody is getting tested. Like, it don't matter how good motherfuckers make it look. It don't matter how shiny your objects is. It don't matter how none of that shit, bro. You getting tested, bro. Like real shit. That's with all of us, bro. And it's like That's why now in this stage too, bro, like remember dawg used to every day I'm getting dressed, I'm I'm throwing that shit on, I'm wearing shoes, I'm you know man, that was that was my image. But it's like now, bro, like I still get dressed and all that, but like the clothes and all that shit, it don't make the man. You feel me? It the man make the man, bro. It ain't it ain't the shiny shit. It ain't all the fabulous shit, like. Deion: I gotta beg the different like just cause I was thinking about some shit the other day, right? It's probably gonna fuck you up a little bit. Ca like the clothes do make the man in a sense like the man don't make the clothes. Jhalil: Okay. Deion: You get what I'm saying? So we went from like soups and shit to like Jhalil: Mm. Deion: tight tight pants to like baggy pants to like back to back like tight pants and then now a little bit of a mixture of baggy and so Jhalil: Yeah, right. Tight at the top, baggy at the bottom, shit and all that. Deion: Yeah, like and you know, we we like, yeah, I get fly, I do but like you pick the clothes, yeah, but like you only get a certain amount if they design and make Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: So we'll have a lot to do with the design and make the clothes and shit. We wear it and make it look whatever, however we you know what I'm saying? And it it it just had me thinking, I'm like, damn, like women be like, Don't look at me, this and that. And I'm like, they don't even know. Like they being controlled and guided a certain way. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's a special interest in sexuality and putting that and pushing that. You feel me? And so when you out here and you carrying yourself like it's this and that, it's like, nah, shorty, like. Jhalil: Motherfuckers gonna expect that. You feel me? Deion: motherfuckers is designing what it is for you. You get me? Like, so you know how we be talking like, damn, this just been a crazy ass like epidemic of like tights and little spandex shorts and little goody shorts and little skirts and all this shit. You get what I'm saying? Like, and they just carrying it. Nobody stopping to be like. That's that's weird, you know what I mean? Like hold up, like we d we went for Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: like fully gowns dresses and shit, man. We don't got nothing on. Jhalil: Then if you know this too, bro, like motherfuckers who wear that type of shit every single day, like tights, low ass shorts, spandex, all this tight shit, all this, like, bro, they got the worst attitudes, bro. Like, bro, and it's like, it's it's like it's to a science, bro. Like, that's why they design them fabrics, bro. Like, yeah, it might look cool, it might look cute on you, it might look whatever on you, you may it might show your muscles more and all that shit, but bro, that shit seep in your skin and then that shit have your brain on some dumb shit. Like real rep, bro, to the point where it's like, damn, like how you gonna say, yeah, don't don't look at me, da da da I don't want nobody such and such. But you got your ass out. Like a man naturally or automatically attracted to a woman or gonna look at women. It don't matter what the fuck you wearing. You feel me? So it's like if you wear some shit that's provocative, of course. Now you can't have that type of attitude, bro. And then it's like motherfuckers who really do get dressed and like wear nice clothes and and like it can be basic shit. But the materials, bro, the materials matter, bro. Like real shit, dog. Like. Deion: Yeah. Jhalil: That's a crazy name too for a brand. Materials matter. Like real Deion: Mm. Jhalil: shit. Like. Cause that shit. Deion: Yeah. It reminds me too like of people that like wanna fight at fast food restaurants and shit. Like you Jhalil: Mm. Deion: know what I mean? Like for you to get upset cause your food taking that long and the food that you waiting for ain't shit. You know what I'm saying? Like that's a mental fuck up. You know what Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: I'm saying? Like Like I I and I I caught myself several times in it. Like, I'm ready to get mad at this regular ass person who trying, you know what I'm saying, do whatever they need to do. Cause I'm trying to get this food and I'm trying to be out, whatever. You can justify, put it on whatever you want, me. You know what I mean? Nah, I gotta get back to work. Whatever you want, put it on. You in there trying to get a quick fix. You know what I'm saying? And we don't even know. Like, all of this shit is connected. Like the the urges inside of you, whether you call them parasites or whatever, you know what I mean? You Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: ain't got nothing on your body, but you stay itching. You you get what I'm saying? Like, so it's obviously something within the body, right? And then that's attached to ha having to get this food this fast and all of that type stuff. You get what I'm saying? Jhalil: Yeah, bro. Deion: But to even be there, you gotta be, you gotta be put in a mindset to be like always in a rush. You get what I'm saying? So Jhalil: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Deion: you at that job and the and the pressure of that. And then because you at that job, the reason you at the job is to like get money to take care of bills and all this other shit. So if that's on your mind, like you get what I'm saying? You see how all of that's like You know, like Jhalil: Yeah. It's all it's all messed in, bro. Like remember grandmoms and moms and all that, when they teach you how to cook, they like, yeah, like when you cook at home, like you cook with love and all of that shit, bro. Like when you go to an establishment of fast food y'all, it's not being cooked with love, bro. It's being cooked with urgency because niggas gotta pay their fucking bills. So they not worried Deion: Yeah. Jhalil: about like how the food make you feel and all that. Like Yeah, the restaurants, like some, you know, small restaurants that that cook and that do like they own thing and all that, like yeah, they they do at a certain point. But after a while, bro, it become about the revenue. And once it's about the revenue, the love get taken out of it, bro. That's why it's nothing like a home cooked meal, bro. It's like you put your whole energy into that, John. Like how you feelin' everything is going into the food, bro. So when you cook for your family and and that shit come out great and all that, that's for you, bro. That's that's how you really nourish your shit. But like when we slide out at these fast food junks, bro, they just got a job to do. And our job at that time is to just get something to eat while we on our travels for real, for real. But it's like we got real comfortable like to like a lot of people like order out every day. You feel me? Deion: Yeah. Jhalil: And it's like, damn, bro. It used to just be like, you know, if you in your travels, or you can pull into this Wendy's real quick, grab something to eat and then keep it pushing. But now it's to the point, like, motherfuckers like they spending a thousand dollars on DoorDash a month. Like that became a bill for some people, bro. And that's crazy, like. Yeah, man, that should all definitely go into it, bro. Like whoever preparing your food, bro, they mad as shit. They mad cause this job ass or something. And they making your burger. Like, what you think, bro? They put the energy right on that joint for you, bro. Then you eat that shit now, you mad as shit. You cursing the kids out in the back for being kids. Like you be like, bro, come on, dog. Like this shit is all alchemy, bro. Like They be playing a d like all alchemy, bro. They be playing a game with us, bro. And I never even really thought about it like that till now. Like on some real shit. Like they be playing with us, bro. 'Cause they know shit to a scientific level that shit that we be just bypassing and you mean. We just look at it like, all right, that ain't gonna hurt. Yeah, I got family of four, is it's gonna be twenty dollars. And you don't know what the fuck like, bro. Deion: I say like forty now, 'cause Jhalil: Yeah, and it's tax. Like, bro, they they put anything in that shit. Like it be it come in a big ass bulk box from a a warehouse somewhere. You don't know how we made it, you don't know where it came from, what it is, nothing. It just look like the things that they say and then we eat it and I just be like, nah, bro. And now it's Deion: Right. Jhalil: it's to the point, even with the vegetables, all that shit, bro, they fuck with the fruits and vegetables. Now our shit don't got no seeds. Like, come on, bro. Like, you can't even be healthy. That's why I was like, man, fuck it, bro. Like That's why I be trying to avoid that shit, bro, but it's like It's to a point now in time, bro, you can't avoid all that shit, bro. I don't give a fuck if you vegan, if you vegetarian, pescatarian, and none of that shit, bro. Deion: Yeah, you can. Jhalil: Yeah, if you gonna go to the ocean, like but even when Deion: You can still. Jhalil: you go to the ocean, they flooding the ocean with bullshit too. So it's like Deion: You just gotta live a plain Jane ass life for real. Jhalil: Yeah, real right, bro. That's why we really supposed to grow our own shit and and slaughter our own animals that we raised and all of that. Deion: man. You gotta you gotta like slow this shit all the way down. Yep. Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: Our mind can't be like like a fucking LA highway, eight lanes and all that going at one time. That should look like Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: all the movies that do the time travel. It can't be like that. Jhalil: Yeah, real shit, bro. Time loops. That should be Deion: Because that's what I'm saying. Like if you if you put in yourself in a space where you constantly gotta do something or you rushing or you busy you ain't going it ain't slow enough to to cook your beans for eight hours, bro. You Jhalil: Real red blaze the Deion: not gonna wait for them beans to be cooked. You feel me? And then that's why I'm saying Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: we gotta detox first 'cause The tox the the pesticide and all that sh I mean the the parasites and all that shit they craving. You feel me? So Jhalil: Yeah, okay. Deion: you could try to like switch it. You can't like you could switch it but It's hard to just switch it. You gotta really detox and get all that shit out of you. So when the real nutritionists come, like it it serves its purpose and it ain't gotta work super hard. You know what I'm saying? To Jhalil: Yeah yeah. Deion: do its job and shit. You feel me? That's one part. You feel me? Then you gotta really control your life, how you make your money, everything. Because Listen bro, I'm in construction, bro. If I don't pack a lunch and all that and get all my sh sit I'm at the poppy store, bro. Ain't no because I'ma feel like I gotta eat Jhalil: Yeah, bro. Deion: something. I'ma feel like I gotta eat something. You feel me? They them cravings gonna come about and they're gonna be like, yo, we gotta eat something. Like and if you don't got you what I'm saying, your lunch and everything situated and all that, we going to the poppy store, bro. Jhalil: Right, right, bro. And that's why that's why our shit set up Deion: Yeah, Jhalil: like that too, bro. That's why you can survive days without eating. And you got like three days without water or something, or some shit like that, bro. Because like you supposed to really take your time with this shit and do it the right way. But it's like we so used to like a man getting up in the morning, eating breakfast, eating lunch. Eating dinner, like you feel me? Like that shit just imprinted in our brain now and and in our body too. So it's like damn, like you shit actually like want those things, bro. Like real shit. Where it don't you don't really need to you know? Like when you first wake up, bro, like it's probably best to, you know, fuck with some fruit or smoothie or something like that and then just rock out. Like why would we be eating like eggs Grits, bacon and some bread, like the first thing in the morning, bro. Now I get to work, I'm fucking tired. I don't Deion: Yeah, yeah. Jhalil: wanna do shit, like, you feel me? Deion: Mm-hmm. Jhalil: Stomach bubbling a little bit. Like, no, bro. Like that's why I on some real shit, bro, me personally, like, I try not to fuck with nothing until like noon, bro. Real right, bro. 'Cause if now I'd be too tired. Like Once I eat, I'm ready. Chill, bro. I I like the chill that I eat. I don't want to have to do all this extra shit, bro. But then that go to like fasting too. Like, some days it's like, man, some days I wanna eat, I eat a couple times. But then some days, bro, I might eat once a fucking day. You feel me? And it's like I be cool. It's not like I be having no crazy ass hunger pains or nothing like that. I just be like, nah, let me fuck with dinner real quick. I just fasted for sixteen hours. You feel me? Like twelve hours, thirteen hours, bro, and that shit is just your body regenerating, bro. Like once that shit eat all that old shit that's in your body, like, then your shit can start the regeneration process, you mean? But it's like they Deion: Yeah. Jhalil: got our shit on a timer. Like all of us, bro. Like. Deion: But that's the top joint, right? Like 'Cause if you ain't eatin' to live like you eatin' to die. Jhalil: Real right, bro. Deion: I mean it's simple too, right? Cause as we just rapping right now, I'm like, damn, like we be eating all this dead shit. Jhalil: Right. That should come to you dead. Like we get it from the store it's dead. Deion: And wonder like But it's crazy because we wonder like why we like feel dead inside. You feel me? Like Jhalil: Sure, bro.

It's like my I feel like my shit was eating this shit that I was trying to give to myself to live. The Jhalil: guy. Deion: parasites and all that eating it first. So I'm not getting fulfilled like I would normally do if it was just straight up. You get me? So it's just telling me like, yeah, like but I love the food though. It ain't it ain't like a crazy transition like you would think. Like a lot of people think like, I gotta make this passion and nasty. Like no depending on who prepares your shit. Or you or Jhalil: That should be good, is it, bro? Deion: shit, you get better at at at doing it yourself. You get me? Like. Jhalil: Mm.

Everybody Jhalil: Yeah, that's my shit, bro. Deion: They got the earthly taste and everybody ain't gonna be employed by the by the earthly taste.

In red Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: allow you to accept the earthly taste. You get what I'm saying? So I'm understanding that now and now I'm like, damn, I gotta really slow my shit down.

You know what I mean? This guy changed the mindset and Yeah, get get moving back. Jhalil: I got a long gas yard. It ain't shit out there but a grill. I'm on some dumb shit. I could be playing all this shit like soyu so healthy, like I be bullshitting, bro. I'm like, damn. Right there, lettuce, whatever. That should just sit in there, bro. I ain't doing shit with it. Deion: But that's where it starts, like, cause we gotta get out of it like some shit whatever. It's not our fault. You feel me? And when you feel like it's your fault, it might prolong it. You know what I'm saying? And Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: I'm thinking like when you when you when you put it in your mind then like somebody did this to you, it make you want to fight. You get what I'm saying? So that's the mindset we gotta be in. Like niggas, yeah, niggas violated, you know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? Jhalil: Yeah, yeah. Deion: That gotta be stronger than all that shit put together, you feel me? Cause like you said, and like Brother Will always tell me, like, man, we got everything we need. Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: And it's so crazy because with all of the stuff that I've been given in my 41 years, like that simple saying should be easy to get into, but it's not. You know what I mean? Like I got allowed Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: the undo to accept that. You know what I'm saying? Cause even with just saying it is like that's a good saying and it's cute and all that. But like I really gotta get into the mode of that. Like I got everything I need. I gotta look in the mirror every day and say that shit a million times. You get what I'm saying? Jhalil: Yeah. Write it down. You feel me? Like that's Deion: Write it down, everything, bro. You gotta re see it. You gotta like that you gotta make it 'cause you gotta think. Everything that's programmed in you, you saw that a lot of times. That's why it got you like it got you right now. You get what I'm saying? We done seen the violence, we done seen the bullshit a million times. So it's like it's in us, like it's programmed in us, you get me? And so to get unprogrammed, we gotta really like Do that work. You what I'm saying? And sometimes I ain't gonna lie, it be feeling like you could just do magic. You wanna do magic and just be like, damn, let me just snap my fingers and I wanna be back right. But it's like, no, you gotta really do the work. You know what I'm saying? And that's the Jhalil: Okay, we're right. Deion: to me, that's the boat line that a lot of people jump on. Like, no, I'm cool, I'm gonna stay on, you know what Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: I'm saying? So That's what really be prolonging our our transformation, you get me like Jhalil: Yeah. And that's that's where Deion: And but like I said it ain't our it ain't our our fault and shit and so like yeah like Jhalil: And it's like, bro, the shit that we be so like embedded to, bro, that's the shit that's putting us in a struggle. Like we be thinking, like, damn, man, if I go out there and fuck with that yard, it's gonna be too much. But it's Deion: Yeah. Jhalil: like this other shit that niggas doing and and like getting into, bro, that shit no better and is more extensive, is harder and is worse for you. You feel me? Like, it's crazy, though. Deion: Yeah. I've been having so many realizations, I'm like I looked at myself and was like, Jhalil: Mm. Deion: yo, you really like you let and like, you know what I'm saying? Cause like like you said, you gotta think you gotta really look at those weigh it, weigh it. You know what I mean? Really gotta weigh Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: it like damn, I'm ready, risky it all, go out here and jam a nigga to get some bread. I don't look at that as hardship or nothing difficult or nothing. But like getting up and going to go plant some food and do it. Like, what? I ain't trying. I don't feel like it. I don't feel like Jhalil: That's crazy, right? Deion: it. Like, I don't I don't feel like it. You get what I'm saying? You gotta pass all that, bro. You gotta get past that first. Like, like, damn, I really don't feel like. But I know I need to do it. You get what I'm saying? And that's how strong the conditioning and programming is, bro. You feel me? Jhalil: That's the hardest part, bro. Like the shit that's gonna change your life for the best and and like make you a different person and all that, that's the hardest shit to just be like, all right, I'ma up and do this. Like some days I Deion: Yeah. Jhalil: be like, man, I I don't feel like doing this shit. I don't da da da da I don't like bro, if I was to get up and just be like, nah, I don't feel like doing it, but let me go do it. Like, Deion: Right. Jhalil: you feel me, once you go do it, you be like, damn shit wasn't even that bad. It was actually kind of banging. You feel me? I'ma do that more. I'ma learn more about playing shit now. Like I seen a boy video on TikTok cutting up cardboard and and like using old like you know how when you you cut up vegetables and all that, you don't use the butts and all that, like he putting all the shit in the drum, bro. And he got a whole system to where it's though, like His shit perfectly like that shit alkaline, all that shit, bro, and it's great for the plants. His shit on the beam, bro. And I'm like, damn, Deion: And Jhalil: bro, it just took him probably just to get up and start doing that shit, bro. But they be the hardest things to do, dog. Deion: Well, I mean, you know, that language too, like, you mean? Jhalil: Mm. De ca Deion: It was hard as gonna be hard, you know what I'm saying? So like even that we gotta take out our whole drone. You get me? And and that's what it is, you feel Jhalil: Yeah, we are what we speak. You are what you eat. Deion: me? Like the longer I look at the garden and be like, I start thinking. I just go right out in the garden and just start doing different results. You know what I'm saying? It's just that simple. You get what I'm saying? Like, don't and we seem to put a lot of thought in the things we need to do, and then no thought into the things we actually be doing. You get what I'm saying? So Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: yeah, it don't take a lot of thought. You be thinking like, all right, to do criminal acts. The hit or lick, you gotta think like, all right. But see your mind get right into it, like it's a game. You better go like you feel me? Like you be figuring it out. Jhalil: Yeah, real right, bro. Deion: You'll go do your homework on the drone and anything like down to a tea but then it's like when it's to get healthy and all that, it's like we we f we froze like. Jhalil: Yeah bro. Just like we said before, Deion: yeah. Jhalil: man, motherfuckers would be like, Dog, I I don't I don't want no C Moss, man. What's in it? Turn around, E ass, no question. No question, bro. Like It be wow, bro. Like you wanna know every ingredient to the sea moss, bro. It's moss off a fucking rock in the ocean. You feel me? Like, you don't know what's into my body. You feel me? Like, come on. Deion: I was just thinking, like, that's why I'm saying that conditioning program is strong as shit. Cause I'm like, when you do business certain times, it'd be like, bro, let me count this. You feel me? But every day we go to the poppy stores and like the change they just give us back. You get what I'm saying? Like Jhalil: right, Deion: I ain't never seen niggas sit in the poppy store like. Alright, that's all my chain. Like, you know what I'm saying? It's just a trust factor. And it's you get what I'm saying? Like, when a plumber comes and he and he of a different ethnic than you, it's no questions. Like, you know what I'm saying? And if if he did your plumbing and unclog your shit and he says 7,000, you you gonna pay the money. Like, you get what I'm saying? Versus like. Arsha always question. Like it's like Jhalil: Yeah, no matter what, bro. Deion: I just feel like we getting over and we shouldn't be getting over. And I get it. I get the thought because it's like We come from that that slave shit right where it's like the reason why everybody come at J Z and all of them, cause they like, all right, we get white people doing it to us. Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: You get what I'm saying? Like we get that. But like y'all is like y'all opposed to be of us. You get what I'm saying? Like How can we that's why I that's what I think like the the the the discount should come from like damn bro Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: you you made it to have a business in this in this povished system right now, right? So you know what I mean? That's why I was expected to like pull. You know what I mean? But at the same time, it's like damn, in order to keep the business that we gotta establish. We gotta pay for the shit. We gotta you know what I mean? 'Cause y'all y'all gonna jump ship when this drone go down. Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: You just you just gonna go eat somewhere else. You ain't you ain't gonna try Jhalil: Very Deion: put the money back together to like keep this joint open. If I give y'all the best prices. Is you gonna come support all all the way through? You get what I'm saying? And and this the things that we be putting each other in. Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: You know what I'm saying? Like Jhalil: And that shit unfortunate, bro. But it's like that's why man, like when we when we go to booking, like when a motherfucker just book online or whatever, like we always make that confirmation call, like we need to see it. Like, what exactly do you want? Like, what exactly gotta be done? How long it's gonna take? This is the price. Like you feel me? Like that's all said before I even touch anything, before I come open your lockbox and go in your crib. Any of that shit, bro, so it's no confusion. And it's like, yeah, sometimes you not gonna always get the job. But when you do it that way, bro, you actually get higher quality jobs and higher quality clients cause it's like all right you come with your information beforehand bro it's not a freestyle I'm not about to come do the job and then give you a price after. I'm never gonna do that bro cause you might not be expecting that and your number in your head is different. If I'm a plumber bro I know what the job take. If your fucking stack pipe broke then when I go in your basement it's behind the cement wall under a cement floor and I gotta pound that shit out. Go get a jackhammer, I gotta do this, get a suction a suction pump, I gotta do a sump pump, all type of ri shit, you feel me? Whereas though like that don't even really got nothing to do with your labor. Like, you feel me? That's just the cost to do the job. And then when I put my labor on it, for me to actually do it, like now when it comes to seven grand. You understand exactly why. Cause I'm gonna draw the picture for you. I'm not about to just say, well, yeah, I'm the master plumber. I'm gonna come through, I'm gonna fix it. Cause like to a normal person, they don't understand what plumbing entails. Deion: Right. Jhalil: Like that's your measurements, that's your mathematical equations, the slopes, is all type of shit that people really had to go to school, pay bread to learn. And like you feel me? Like some of them gases that off gases, bro, that should've killed you. Deion: Yeah. Jhalil: Like real rare, niggas don't even know why it's like water in a toilet. You feel me? Like so if it's like if you don't understand those things and all that, bro, I I advise you, you know, if you are booking a job and it's a serious job, at least look into the process first before you just book or before you just expect a discount or whatever, bro. Cause life don't run all discounts, bro. Cause if that was the case, man, like I need a discount on gas. Tired of putting $60 in my shit every three days. Like, you mean? But I can't go to the gas company. I can't go to Exceline and be like, yo, I need a percentage off of my shit. So I wouldn't do that to a person. Your price is your price. If if if that price don't align with what my like paying expectation is, like, I'ma tell you I appreciate it, but I'ma had to go with somebody more in my. You mean? More in my price range that I can afford without it hurting me. So it's like we gotta be more open, dog. Like and I had to learn that too, man. We was doing jobs for a bean at one point. Like I'm we doing a job for a beam, bro. We gotta put up thirty dollars. At this time, it was like we gotta put up twenty in a gas tank. Another thirty dollars for for some supplies and shit, that's fifty dollars. And then it's like, damn, that's a twenty-five dollar split between two people. I'm like, nah, bro, we gotta go up. Like, it don't matter that we had all of these clients we overbooked and all that, but it's like it it gotta be it gotta make sense, bro. You feel me? So then we had to up the price and do what we had to do and then now it's it's way more balanced, bro. Higher quality clients, bro. Like now our clients that we have now, bro, they've been they all like probably at least four years recurring. Deion: Yeah. Jhalil: Man, so that's it hard in the beginning when you try and make some bread. But then you realize, bro, after doing your shit so long, it's like it's not even just about the bread, bro. Right, dog. Deion: But that's why I'm saying, you know, they made it to a point where when we do get our business and we try and be helpful to one another, it it it's difficult. You Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: know what I'm saying? Like, 'cause I can't go too crazy because I still gotta pay for inventory and everything to keep the business going. I still gotta pay employees, everything, you feel me? So that's that's gonna be limited, you know what I'm saying? I think about like if if the world was in our hands and everything was running according to us, right? how we all of this still operate. You get what I'm saying? And I'm talking about like us not living in like capitalism. Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: You know what I'm saying? Where where the dollar is more important than everything else. Jhalil: right. Deion: If the dollar wasn't as important as everything else, like it'll be different in business and everything. You feel me? Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: You might get a lot more love. You get what I'm saying? Like but since capitalism and business was cutthroat, it's like, no, you can't get this long because you off a point zero one. Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: You know what mean? Like you ain't hand in this on the deadline. The deadline was twelve five minutes ago. Like five minutes, bro. You get what I'm saying? Like you were head at human com capacity for empathy and all of those type of things, you know what I'm saying? But I understand like to have a to have a democracy, you gotta have like poverty. Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: You gotta have this battle of like rich and poor. You know what I'm saying? Which with which then make also adds in duality. You feel me? Like Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: they got us living in duality. It's either right or wrong, good or bad, rich or poor, you ain't got it or you got it. Like and this world is so multi-fascinate. Like all these things exist at once. We in all of these different rims of life. You know what I'm saying? This shit all like a prism looking into a prism of all these different lights and shit like that. You feel me? Like we was just talking about it me and Brother Will, like ain't no real such thing as colour. You know what I mean? Like you think about it like A motherfucker told you what color it was. Jhalil: Yeah, we're we're Deion: It never was a thing like you was born and you ever asked a baby like what color is this? They looking like what? Jhalil: matter, I can see it. Like that's all I mean. Deion: They might look at something black and say it's red, but you the correction is no, that's red. Then your mind started processing and accepting this to be that. You know what I mean? Like so ain't color is like derived from The speculation, the specs of light hitting things in a different area or you know what I'm saying? Like you seen shit in the dark and shit in the light. Jhalil: Yeah, we're over. Deion: If they quiz you you might say two different colors, cause you get what I'm saying? Light. makes all of stuff. Yeah. So you know even understanding that, bro, we ain't we ain't there like we so busy doing all this other human shit that we ain't looking at none of that. So like damn Jhalil: All outside shit. All outside shit, bro. Deion: color really come from looking at the light in a certain way. Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: Yeah what I'm saying, man? I'm it'll fuck you up thinking about this regular shit. Like damn, regular shit could be this. Jhalil: Mm. Yo, bro, and certain motherfuckers, Deion: Yeah Jhalil: dog, even when they go to the color, bro, like it's certain people out here that's colorblind, bro. You feel me? Like to whereas though, like, they can't see certain hues or tents that like everybody else can see. So they should probably basic as like what it's called? Like monograph colors, like, you know, the the black, the cream, the white, the gray. Like, you feel me? So it's like That shit kinda crazy, bro. Like Deion: I mean we can look at it crazy or like reverse too. Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: You know what I mean? Like we are wrong and then they right. Jhalil: Yeah, room. Deion: You get what I'm saying? Like, shit, no, we supposed to just be seeing that limit. Now imagine Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: having that limit. You not you're not a slave to everything colorful. Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: You get what I'm saying? Like, because you don't got one leg, I might be like, damn, bro, life must be fucked up for you. You like, nah. I don't have to deal with two people leg people shit. Like you did you dig what I'm saying? Like, how I go through with with two with people who got two legs go through. Jhalil: Yeah, real shit. Deion: It just be about the acceptance and and perception of how you carry that shit. You feel me? Like people that got everything put a little put a little into other shit. Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: They probably wish they could be regular again to walk around every day f like they might call this freedom. Jhalil: Yeah, real right, bro. Deion: You feel me? Like, like what? You don't gotta go to work. You don't got such a shit to be you ain't a robot like that? Nothing. Jhalil: All right, bro. Deion: I ain't a robot, no. I'll go plant the fucking grass on Tuesday. I go jogging and hiking on You's Ang? But you ain't got Jhalil: Yeah, bruh. Deion: you ain't got a million dollars though. How can you rest? Jhalil: Yo and bro, being able to do those simple things, bro, that's really what being rich is. Like, you know, that's that's really what being rich is, bro. Like to be able to wake up and do things that you have to do for yourself and and like enjoy the things that you do and do things that you wanna do that's healthy for you, bro. Like having a family, everybody healthy, everybody learning, all of that, like that's that's real, like that's that's being rich, bro. Like real shit, dog. And we we look past that. Like it's a lot of motherfuckers that's out here that's rich. You feel me? But we look at it in a monetary way. Like and that's that's where a lot of us and that's where like depression and shit be coming from. And that's where like anxiety and and certain things come from, bro. Like real shit. And it's it's definitely hard to look at it like damn, like. I got this, I got this, I got this, I got this. Like we'd think about the one thing and dwell on the one thing we don't have. Like and like we we focus so much on money, bro, but we get money just to give that shit to another person. Like that's the craziest Deion: Mm-hmm. Jhalil: thing, bro. It's like, dog, we be so worried about bread where that shit gonna go somewhere else. Is is nobody laying on like niggas ain't Deion: Quick quick too. Jhalil: laying on a bed of money. It ain't money in the tub, money like That shit go it come in, it go out. Like why is we hype? Deion: Okay, Jhalil: It it don't matter, bro. Like.

You know you gotta like, come on, bro. Like that shit Deion: Thank you. Jhalil: that's the biggest mind, you know, bro. That's why it's like, you know, when you get older, bro, that shit really be a blessing, dog. 'Cause it's like I wasn't thinking about none of this shit. I'm thinking I need some paper. I I'll do like not do whatever, but like I'll damn near do whatever for some pa real shit, like. Deion: that was that was the attitude too. Keeping Jhalil: You'll hurt a motherfucker for some paper. You'll take it. Like you duke somebody up for some like, bro, just to give it to somebody else, just to go to the weed, man. Deion: But you see? Jhalil: Just to go man, go get some blacks, go get some ports. Like, Deion: Yeah. Jhalil: come on, bro. Like that's why I was like, man, we sh Deion: Hold on, it needs something real quick.
