Deion: And it's like, nah, man, like the shit the cat game was crazy, you feel me? But let's get into it. Welcome back to the volume shift, you know what I'm saying? Where we bridging the gaps between cultures, genders, races, etc. I'm Buckley Doc. Doctors the doctors without the doctor. Jhalil: I'm Ja Love, urban activist slash blacktivist. he try to put that extra spin on there. Deion: Got me all tied up in the tongue and all that. Try to be cute, though. I fuck my whole neighbor. know what I'm saying? How you living, how you feeling? Jhalil: I'm greedy, bro. Man, like I told you man, I I just woke up like and I was feeling like, you know, as as we talked before, I'm like, All right, I'm a businessman, bro, I ain't getting no job, da da da da. But it's like now, bro, it's like this urge to like change shit up. Like I don't know if it's due to the age or this like this terror that I'm at now, but it's like I'm seeking the change. You feel me? Like and Deion: Yeah. Jhalil: and I feel as though like I'm confident in that job, bro. Cause like wifey be saying, and like you be saying too bro, like just 'cause you got your business, that don't mean you can't do other things. Feel me? Like it ain't like it's just gonna be somebody else business once I stop. Like it it is what it is. So I don't know. I'm I'm looking for a change, bro. And like I I kinda think I found it, man, 'cause I found a job that's real technical, bro. Like I'ma be in in the laboratory. You feel like to use all my all my skills and shit, like. Deion: Yeah. Jhalil: Things that like before, you know, when we was younger, like you don't really wanna display all your true talents and all that. But one of my true talents is research, analytics, things like that, bro. So it's like now, man, it's it's to the point it's coming out, bro. Like I've been to a couple interviews, none of that shit went you mean. It it it went good at the interview, but they wasn't fixed, bro. So now the job that I just went for is a a pharmaceutical company, bro. So is an actual lab. Like we running machines, like that that don't look crazy, bro. I ain't gonna lie, it's real scientific and I ain't gonna nerd y'all out, but I feel as though that's that's a nice little fit for me, bro. Cause it's not just using my muscles. You feel me? It ain't just using my time. It's actually using my brain, bro. And we get to produce medicine and and things that's gonna change shit, bro. So just having that know how, man, I'm I'm feeling real confident. So yeah, man, that's that's how I'm feeling right now, man. Deion: You know all the best men and all your endeavors and you know I mean and I'm sure you checked all the boxes and Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: And just, you know. The thoughts is the thoughts, right? Like it could keep us at a standstill, froze, or like keep moving, you know what I mean? Like so you can make everything worth adjusting and how you think about it. You know what I'm bringing? So if you hell bent that you built a business, then yeah, I could see that transition being a little tough. 'Cause you but you put the value and weight on like, you know what mean? And but you can also reverse it and look at it. I mean you you only did the business real cause couldn't get a job. Jhalil: Yeah, real right, bro. Deion: Yeah. Jhalil: Then it's like I fell in love with it in the mix of it. Like, not even actually what I was doing, but just doing business and being self sufficient. Like, that was the best part. But I feel like that was like a vital part of like me becoming a man too, bro. Like at a point you gotta learn how to stand on your own too. And it was like everything that I was trying to do at that point after getting booked and all that, that shit wasn't working. Feel me, I done filled out a hundred apps, none of them jobs, you know? I didn't get no callbacks, I ain't get no interviews, nothing. But when I invested in myself for them ten years, bro, it was real lucrative. I learned a lot out the game and then it just gave me a certain confidence, you feel me? Something that I needed. Like But it's like now I got the confidence and I I did that. You feel me? So it's like it's not like I gotta let it die. I can you know, rest on it for a while. I can, you know, cultivate it more. I can do whatever. It's mine. So it's like I can't limit my life to just one thing, bro. Cause this new like, you know, this new path can take me anywhere. You feel me? But it's not my job to know exactly what life's gonna do and when it's gonna do it. Like that's none of my business for real, for real. But I just know I gotta stay the course, bro. Deion: Yeah, yeah. Jhalil: Yeah man. So how you how you living? How you feeling, man? Deion: Feeling good, man, you know what I'm saying? Like just continuing to learn especially myself. Especially myself through others. You know what I mean? 'Cause whenever I hear you speak your truth, you know what I mean, it allows me to like think about or see my life. You get what I'm saying? And and not in a manner like a codependent type situation, but like You know what I mean? 'Cause a lot of people they be using other people downs and all that to fill up and all that. But it's like Understanding not just like a settlement you reach is continuing. You know what I'm saying? So if we in a conversation, I'm like I'm in understanding, like I didn't ask you the necessary questions to to further get more information so that like I'm in understanding to Now we can continue to grow in the conversation 'cause I I'm understanding like you get me? And the way Jhalil: huh. Deion: I think we perceive it is like It's like you stop at the you understand. You know what I'm saying? Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: Like you get me, bro, you understand? Like, yeah, I understand. And it's like a it's cease after that. Jhalil: Alright. Deion: To my understanding, it's continuing. So when we say we brothers, it's like I understand that to be a continuation of like us understanding each other, growing. You get what I'm saying? Like, Jhalil: Maybe Deion: not a settlement at like no, I understand Jaleo. So like when you do certain things, I go right to that. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I understand them. So let me tell y'all about not like it's so continuing that it's like. Whatever that once was, it probably ain't now. You get what I'm saying? So if you ain't understanding, then you understand that in your own place, like limitations and all that type of stuff on people. you understand us to continue to evolve. You know what I'm saying? Like so and and I think because of the cat, like we hold each other grounded at that type of stuff. So your mom always remembers you as a baby and shit. Like you gotta Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: reminder like now I'm a grown ass man, mom like how I always gonna see you as the baby. Jhalil: B. Deion: You feel me? Like the understanding ceased at a point and it's like, nah. Understanding is a continuation. Like, you get what I'm saying? To to get a God blessing from God to have a baby and then lose that baby short before your life over. A lot of people don't understand. Jhalil: That's tough job. Deion: But understanding this continuation, so You gotta understand that, you know what I'm saying? Like, we was given this jaw. We ain't created. If we going through emotion like you know me? You can't really be stuck on anything. You know what I'm saying? That's like you trying to pull your kids and they holding on to the door and shit. Jhalil: Real shit, dog. Deion: No, life ain't like designed like that, right? It's a continuation, you know what I'm saying? Like yeah, it's nice to have tears when people die and all these type of things, but like Life don't life don't do it. It just keep going, you feel me? Just keep going. Jhalil: Right, bro. I had to learn that shit the hard way, bro. I'm like, man, 'cause I kept looking at like, all right, like even I'ma use the business for example. I'm looking at it like, all right, I created this genre. It was doing so good, you feel me? And like I'm not thinking that like, you know, the natural occurrence of life, bro, is gonna happen. Like things gonna go up, things gonna go down, things gonna chill, it's gonna go sideways and all that, like It's certain controls, bro, that like that shit had in my head, bro, that should start controlling me, like and I don't want the business to just dictate everything that I do. Like, you feel me? And just like I gotta stop it there just because I did that, bro. So it's like now that I'm seeing it, like and having conversations like with you, my wife, like mainly y'all, cause y'all understand. Feel me, it's just like, dog, nah, sometimes change is beneficial, bro. It's not about always what it was. Sometimes it's like what it could be. But it's like, you know, sometimes we get stuck on the things that we used to and comfortable with, like Deion: Yeah. That's Jhalil: It's like now I'm trying to embrace the uncomfortability, you feel me? Like the unknown and just and really trust it. Like, you feel me? Deion: why I'm saying, like if we leave life as simple All of these tragedies and all these things we put titles and labels on, we wouldn't be so hell-bent about them. And the Jhalil: No. Deion: and the move on and evolve and growth would be a lot more, you know what I'm saying? Cause think about it, bro. A lot of the people at the delis all that, that's just all that's they ain't. Some stuff happened in life, they ain't get over. That motherfucker's still holding on to. You feel me? Like, I included. You get me? And I I'm like, we I'm weaving through all of this stuff. Like, man. But I'm like, is it even important to weave through it? It's like if I reach the point where I'm thinking, like, okay, I need to be better, then just go for the doing the better part, not how I got here and cause it just seemed like you repeating and reliving it, rethinking about it. So I was gonna let you go if you ain't letting it go. You get what I'm saying? And Jhalil: Yeah yeah yeah yeah. Deion: I'm really starting to think about a lot of that stuff. I'm like, damn, a lot of my moving forward is cause my holding backwards. Yeah I mean s so it's like if you got punched in the face today and you think about that tomorrow and then the next day. Like you give that was a waste of like that Jhalil: You stuck in the past, bro. Deion: was a waste of two days and so imagine we got years of this shit. You know what I mean? Like we got years of this. Umner child, you know, that punch in the face is like, man. And then everything that's inclusive to it, like, damn, you got punched in the face. like, no, you can't just let anybody punch you. Like all these thoughts is just start. And then that becomes your leader, like I gotta do something about like you stop living life 'cause now you gotta go back and Jhalil: Yeah, retaliate or whatever, like now you punch the niggas in Deion: Holland will do it, man. Jhalil: the face now. You feel me? Like that should then then change your whole makeup, like. Deion: real shit. The motherfucker that got over you in a store. It'd be simple, bro. Pop got me for a dollar. Like it's war. Like God damn this war. Jhalil: right. Deion: That's his war! Jhalil: That nigga coulda just been tired, you feel me? The young boy ain't coming, whatever. Deion: But they don't even need better than it's just like, yo, yesterday I got something from the store. It was a dollar short. Without the emotional stuff, you can get what you want. But because Jhalil: Yes, yeah. Deion: of the stink in our in our upbringing is telling you like, no, you gotta put it like this. And then sometimes people don't even be like that. They gotta push it. Jhalil: Mm. Deion: I be telling motherfuckers, you push that out. Cause you hear and you can tell you nervous about even saying it. Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: So you got sometime people make it so they gotta say it angrily just so so it can come out. Jhalil: Yeah, yeah. Deion: get what I'm saying? And be like, you not even tough. You not none of that. But I get it. Because of the distinct own a lot of shit and we ain't free of a lot of shit. And like lies is accepted and truth is like. It make you hesitate on regular natural shit. You get what I'm saying? Like, it should be easy to tell somebody the truth, but with all Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: the stuff that they put out, it's like, nah. Jhalil: That shit make it hard sometimes, bro. Cause it's like, damn, and then like the person that you telling the truth to, like, sometimes you'll look at it like, damn, man, this person always defensive, like. Real shit. Then that'll have you holdin' the truth back. And then they never know the truth. You feel me? Like, so it's like, yeah, man. Deion: Yeah.

Sorry for being long, wonder too, like and and we can just simplify it, bro. Like pay attention, like attentive. Jhalil: There, yeah. Deion: Attentive. You see what I'm saying? Like we can really dissect the fucking words and be like, yo. I don't know, this might be deeper or stronger than drugs by itself, like Jhalil: Shit, bro. Deion: the chemical imbalance that come from behind words. That shit's serious. Like that's a that's a that's Jhalil: G Deion: a big draw. But we just skate over it like You know what I'm saying?

Jhalil: Man, I'ma say my I'ma say my volume check, bro, is like I don't know. I I was kinda getting lost in like doing the same thing, like like being avoidant to change. You feel me? And I think that was what was holding me back for a while, like like 'cause like even with this transition that I'm in now, like from business to like employment and all that, like At a point it was like I was trying so hard to get jobs and I couldn't 'cause of my background, bro. It it gave me like a resentment towards that shit, bro. And I was like, No, I ain't doing that shit, bro. And it was like for for a while I definitely did use that as fuel to the fire. Like, and it helped me out. It was like now that I'm growing older, and like I said, bro, I woke up and I just was like, No, bro, I just I wanna try something new. Like It's something that can be avoided, bro. Like, although I do business, bro, it's still a lot of things that like could still be learned. It's still a lot of endeavors that you mean to take part in. It's still a lot of fails. It's still a lot of wins. Everything. You feel me? And I don't wanna just be limited to one thing, bro. Like, like although like, you know, niggas do a lot of different things within the business. But still, bro, it's like it don't take nothing away from you to be able to like, all right, I'ma try this. I wanna do this. Like, you know me, bro. You know me personally, dawg. You know we we talk the cool shit. We like we actually thorough in the streets and all that, dog. But in the inside too, bro, I'm a fucking nerd. Like I like learning. I like learning how like processes work. I like the wording behind it. I like to know where it came from. who invented it, all of that, bro. And it's like, damn, I was fighting my true like state to be like, you know, because I had this resentment of like not being I felt like I wasn't good enough. Like they felt like that I wasn't good enough, basically. I always knew I was good enough, but it felt like the places that I was employing to, I mean applying to and all that, they felt like I wasn't good enough. So That made me like, no, I'ma do my own shit. And it it taught me something, bro. It taught me how to be self sufficient and all that. But it's like now, bro, you can't I'm realizing though, you can't be resentful towards life, bro. Shit gonna happen how it's supposed to happen. Like real rap, bro, is it's no change in it. It's no like you just go through it, bro. Just cause you want something to happen, a particular action, but specific job, whatever, bro, like, that don't mean it's gonna happen like that, dog. And you gotta be cool with embracing change, dog. Like, so that's where I'm at in life, like. And now, you know, I'm getting older, bro. I'd be thirty six. So it's like, damn, like I did run a successful business, like, well I do run a successful business, but it's like, no, let me dig deeper into this knowledge base that I'm on, bro. Like all of these skills that I added and all that. Let's test it out. Deion: But see, that's where they get you at, like. tracking their life with all of this measurement stuff. Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: And like age and all these words. That's why I said like words might be like some drug shit was like. Even for you to have to keep mentioning like that you a nerd Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: that like come from somewhere, you know what I mean? Like that's not your thing. But you feel like you gotta use it in your conversation. You know what I'm saying? Like, and I see that like with a lot of stuff that we all do. You know what I'm saying? Like. Because of racism and all of this, you gotta always be saying stuff that's like separational like Yeah, I'm sorry. Jhalil: Right. Self defining and shit like. Deion: Yeah, like or you s you gotta validate that you're not a bad person and this and that, and it's like all that stuff be weird in conversations to me. And I'm like, why what are you putting that in there for? But I get it because like our minds is conditioned and programmed and trained on these different things. You get what I'm saying? Like even Even a defined nerd and all of that, it's like When you really simplify it and break it down like But in the same token, somebody else can redefine it and then use it to like, you know what I'm saying? Like defer you to Jhalil: Yeah, to be yeah, to be demeaning and all that, but like I look at it Deion: You know what I mean? Jhalil: as like that's that's just my word that I use for it, like my like The the fact that I like learning new things. The fact that, you know, so that's how I break it down. Like I ain't coming at nobody who, you know, or whatever. But that's just like that's something that I like about myself, bro. I like that I like to learn and, you know, try new shit and all of that. Like so that's how I use that, John. It's just like a Deion: thing you two don't play, but Jhalil: motherfucker say thorough. You feel me? Like That could be whatever definition that they put behind it. Deion: It's like you went right back to like separating and it's like, bro, I I just like learning. I just like this I said and Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: to have to put the other stuff on it told me like that. You tangle with a thought. That ain't your thought. You feel me? Like that ain't your thought. You should freely be like, yeah, I just like learning this. It shouldn't c it's like we be like, I love you, my nigga. Like you feel me? Like you gotta put the my nigga on there so it don't be all sticky or you gotta say no homo or all you All this different shit. You get what I'm saying? Like it's like that's that's there for a reason, like you know what I mean? We do that for we do that with a reason. Jhalil: Yeah, it's a it's a fucking coping mechanism, probably. I don't know. Deion: No, I I mean it come from the programming and training and everything like that. Like you don't just come out with this stuff. Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: No, like who your trainer, you know what I'm saying? Who was they trainer, you know what I'm saying? I my our mentor always tell me like no know the know the author of the book instead of just reading it, you get what I'm saying? So who's Who's behind the mic? You know what I mean? Like, yeah, so we ain't invent words. Jhalil: Yeah, gross it. Deion: So we could let that one go, you feel me? Like, but knowing the words and defining them for yourself and we carry it like that. It's freedom, you feel me? Like but everything else is like slaves, slavery, you know what I'm saying? We so we slaves to the lies should especially being Americanized. You know what I mean? Like it's so hard to like brush through what's not and what it is and you get what I'm saying? Cause we use an English language. Jhalil: It shit not even that true, bro. Deion: Not for us anyway. Jhalil: Yeah, not for us. That's what I mean. It ain't natural. Deion: Yeah, so The the the trust and believe like motherfuckers studied a long time psychology, science, everything, the human brain, all of that. You know what I'm saying? So if we not on top of just that simple stuff. And now you when you start saying stuff like that, now you start saying like why they get you to pay attention to other shit. Cause if you dial into your old shit and be the the finder of your old shit. your personal agent you know I'm saying like your personal agent is with you, they gonna guide you, they you know I'm saying like so You get taught to go away from all of that stuff. All our internal stuff, you know what I'm saying? Like something hurt internally. You need some outside stuff, a pill or some shit. To make you better on the end. It's like, no. All this shit just be it'd be crazy, you know what I'm saying? And they cook us up with these sayings and all that. that's just life. This shit like art. So you accept and be cool. All that stuff le make you leave stuff alone and then you you forget even more about like paying attention to to what's regular, like what's in you. Like you get what I'm saying? But Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: before you go to the d the doctor to get glasses, you won't, like I said, you won't, you too cloudy to think about carrots and all of that. Jhalil: Yeah. shit. Deion: Your nose stuffed up is from inflammation and all these things from what you eating and all of that. But you ain't gonna go bell pepper. You feel what I'm saying? Like, cause that's the plot, like, to get you farther away from you as possible. Like, cause if you do the necessary things you need to do for self, you don't need you don't need no nobody else. And they need the democracy need people to be poor in order for all the systems to work. Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: You feel me? So Of course they gonna lock up and put all of this dirt on Dr. Sadie and all these people that's trying to get you to get back to you or to eat things and Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: lob and all of that because that's gonna take away they they whole sh existence. You feel what I'm saying? So Jhalil: That's right. Deion: This should you mean like but we Jhalil: That shit definitely deep dog, like I'm just thinking about that shit like Deion: But we could take it all back, we should by do you know what I mean? Like paying attention to more of yourself though. If notice, man, if you don't put a lot of stuff in you, you ain't gonna have a lot of problems. Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: I'm like I'm looking at my shit like all my problems come from all the stuff I put in me. Not not 'cause I was born to be fucked up, diseased or any of that stuff, like all the stuff that I put in me, know what I'm saying? Like Jhalil: Some of that shit bro, like I ain't gonna lie, like certain shit affect people different though. Like some of that shit that might have happened in your past, bro, that shit be traumatic. Deion: Mm-hmm. Jhalil: Like you feel me? Like Deion: I'm a word that's given though. Jhalil: Yeah yeah, like not even like just you like separate from the word, you feel me? Like like on some from this cause or whatever this happened, now was this effect on you as a person. Like, you feel me? And like aside from Deion: And that's the good. Jhalil: words, bro, like I really I really felt like that, bro. I went through that shit like a lot. 'Cause it's like, you know, when you hold yourself to a certain standard, bro. And then you go out into the world and then that shit don't give you that, bro. That shit had you kinda You feel me? Then you now you at the spot where you gotta like get back to learning yourself and shit like that, bro. Like and I definitely went through that shit, bro. I went through a lot of shit. Like, not no family shit, like not nothing like that, but like just in my everyday missions, bro, and trying to build my life on how I thought it should be. You feel me? Like Deion: Yeah, yeah. Jhalil: Real shit, bro, like I don't that shit really that shit really stung, bro, where it's like, damn, I'm I'm going to school, I'm doing this, whatever. I got booked, then I came home, then it's like nothing was accessible for me. You feel me? That shit built the trauma in me that's like, nah, bro, fuck that. I'm going hard, I'ma establish my own drone. And that's what it did to me, bro. And it's like it's not all bad, but Deion: Yeah. Jhalil: That shit ain't all good either. Like, cause I was doing that shit for the wrong reason. Like, I knew I wanted to have a business as a young boy, but I ain't know that life circumstances was gonna put me in that position of where I had to do it. So it's like now I'm getting out of that. And yeah, like you said, I don't gotta explain, you know, certain shit. But it's like that trauma that it gave me, bro. I feel like I gotta say that shit. 'Cause like that's that's really what it is in the inside, bro. Like for me anyway, you feel me? Like aside from like the words, bro, and I had to start definitely paying attention to myself, like you said, bro. It's like, yeah, I can run business, but I wanna try something new. That's what life telling me to do. You feel me? That's what my feelings telling me to do. And I don't know why at this time, but it just That's just what it is, like. Deion: That's why Jhalil: So Deion: I'm saying like I don't think nothing need to be labeled. And that's the duality that they got us in. You know what I mean? Like that's what I'm saying, all that measurement shit and all this. Like we living life. You know what I'm saying? So Whatever happens is happening like Jhalil: Yeah, it ain't no instructions to this shit, dog. Deion: Like, that's so bad that no, that's humans that's human put the Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: But it if we don't do that to each other, we don't we ain't in that prison. We in that prison, then we gotta do those validations and shit. We gotta be careful how we talk and this and that. You know what I'm saying? Like all of that stuff, training and stuff like When you said that I don't like the I don't like the way that made me feel but all right. Fuck we supposed to change up everything cause of that? But that's what happens. You start changing up, like you start sweetening it up and this and that. You feel me? So if this thing is assimilation, you control an assimilation by Jhalil: Yeah. We're we're putting that air record in the shit. Like Deion: Yeah. But if you simplify life, You don't really get all of that. You get what I'm saying? Like Yeah. I just know like a lot of the stuff they put out is just man, like it's Jhalil: Yeah, that shit got niggas twisted and turned, bro, bro. Shit, dog. Deion: The books are just get in your way. You know what I mean? Like I'm talking about like shit that people don't even care about, bro. People that run the news and all, they don't give a fuck about all this shit. They just know that people gonna pay attention to it, which means money. Jhalil: Right. Deion: Hey they they they plot and plan to put shit out so that you can gravitate to it. You feel me? How else you gonna sell out on tolerant tissue? Jhalil: Shit crazy, dog. Like I yeah, man. Like it was like once I start seeing shit like a motherfucker lost a dog and all this dumb ass shit. I was like, dog, bro, once they start making it seem like it's just black people committing crimes and all this other shit, like I was like, I can't do it, bro. I'm sorry. Like that should've had you scared to come out the house. Like real shit. Deion: But see what I'm saying? Like, no matter how you pay attention to it, you paying attention to it. So now you got a feeling of duality, right? Like they going against us. You get what I'm saying? So now you you like you see what I'm saying? Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: You won't pay attention either way. So a lot of times you'll be like, man, but I don't do it like that. I don't get into it like that. It's like the fact that you even heard it and know about it is all you need. You feel what I'm saying? Jhalil: It just it just exists like Deion: Yeah, that's why I'm saying whether you fighting against Palestine and all of these different drawings, or you the one saying free Palestinian and the like you still in something that's like duality, like Jhalil: Yeah. It's it's this or that. Deion: Yeah. Jhalil: Sure. Deion: And and it's only gonna be freedom if you understand in a multi it's a multi universe, right? You know what I'm saying? AI is us, everything else is us too at the same time. Like you you got a fucking a hundred generations, bro. At now. So now, right now, is people that's 80 to 100, 60 to 80. You see what I'm saying? All at once. Ain't no fucking duality of that. Like you get what I'm saying? They life still exists and it's still happening as new ones are developing. When you gonna get out of that? You see what I'm saying? That's a cycle right there. That's like But it's like w when it's, you know, democracy and capitalism and all of this. They got us paying attention to everything else. So that gets us into the the next segment and shit, man. Shifting the perspective. I wanted to get into something before we, you know me, get all tangled. I'm thinking about this shit and I'm like, Do we as men, particularly us melanated men, right? Do we need to really get more in into the politics Jhalil: I believe so, bro. I I don't know, like I I do I I actually know. I I do I do think so, bro. Because it's like it gotta be some say so, bro. And it gotta be like certain things that can be input from our perspective and our challenges that we face and like our know how as well, bro. It can't just be always somebody else writing the narrative, like. Deion: Yeah. Jhalil: And it it is black people in, you know, in politics though. Like it is a lot of black men in politics, bro. But it's like to the point where, you know, we can change policies and do this and do that. Not like it's not apparent to me anyway. Feel me? It's like s people Deion: Yeah. Jhalil: in certain positions but they can say this but they can't say that. Like you can do this but like we won't back you if you do that. Like it's a lot of that too, man. So it's like, I don't know, bro. It might have to just be like on some foo boo shit, bro. Real Deion: Mm-hmm. Jhalil: rare. For us by us type shit. Like. I think that'd be more beneficial too, because it's like trying to integrate in a system that's already set up a certain way, bro. It's like that's like I come to your football game, but I'm trying to change the rules. Like, it's it's just I don't know. It's just kind of crazy. So yeah, I would like to see more black men in in like politics, bro. But not just not just for the bread. You know, not just for the status, like but really, you know, actually making changes, bro, and voicing opinions that like everybody don't get to hear all the time. Deion: Yeah. Jhalil: 'Cause I see well most politics, bro, is a a bigger seat on hearing what we do. Instead of us explaining and us showing and like, you know, like it's way more of that that's louder. Like Deion: Yeah. Jhalil: But it's like I feel as though like if you ain't gonna be transparent like this, if you ain't gonna have the tough conversations, if you don't know how to take shit and get offended easily and all that, no bro, you don't not ready yet. You gotta be able to take that shit too, man. Cause if you can dish it out, you gotta be able to take it as well. So it's like hey man, I I just believe it it was gonna come with some maturity, bro. More learning, more accepting. Like as far as each other. Not accepting this bullshit policies that's out, but I'm just saying like we got more be more accepting of each other and all that. Deion: You hear me? Jhalil: Can't get mad at your bro for keeping it real with you. Like can't get mad at the sister for for telling you, yo, maybe if you do it like this it'll work out better. Like you can't we can't keep getting mad at shit and all that, man. And resorting to violence and different shit like that. Deion: But it's like it feels like it's all connected though, you feel me? Like If you got your if you got motherfuckers arguing over this everyday shit being poor, poverty and all this shit, then ain't no way you're gonna be paying attention to the political stuff. So like and that make me think like they've been getting away with a lot of shit for a long time, if that's the case. Jhalil: Bro. Deion: You feel what I'm saying? 'Cause I we don't talk that shit. Like I'm talking about like not even the say black people get into politics, right? Like but like poor people. And and not even say all because we're you know, it's some poor people that's on the on the you know, demonstrations and and not and Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: What you call that shit? Protest and that shit. Jhalil: Mm. Deion: But it's like where we from, it's like, no. Now I didn't even be to say like, cause I have heard a couple guys that from then talk about it, but like to do something and act on it is two different things. Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: Now, a lot of us might have been groomed from like our grandmoms watching the news and you wanna sit with granny so you end up watching it. So that becomes a little part of your joint when you get a little older too, you feel me? Like you know you watching the news or Jeopardy or some shit like that, right? But like you gotta think about it, bro. Martin and Malcolm and all of them. Even Tupac and Biggie, they was like twenty-six, twenty-five. In it. You know Jhalil: Mm. Deion: what I mean? It's that it was like a part of it. You can't like this life right here. You can't be out doing some other shit, playing and all this. Like, you feel me? Like. Not even to say that people wasn't doing them back in the day, but like Martin and the Malcolm and them, they was loud. They was, you know what I mean? You couldn't ignore them. But they Jhalil: yeah. Deion: they knew that motherfuckers was in the streets fighting for for for everybody. Even if the people didn't want to get up and fight with them, they knew it was other people out there fighting for them. You feel me? I'm like I look at the hood now and it's like it's no attachment. It's like they don't know if people out here fighting for or not and don't even give a fuck if they is or not. You get what I'm saying? Like I'm like shit, like and you just you just kinda waiting for the the stuff that's beneficial to you in your addiction, in your in poverty, you know what I'm saying? Which is like when they throwing you a bone or something, you feel me? Like No. Donald and them made a a statement like they gonna give out five grand. So everybody if if in November they make the the reps, the house, the house of represent you know what I'm saying? If they Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: win, everybody get fired. You're not in politics, you just being poor, you you hit that five, you like Jhalil: Right. Deion: Who I gotta vote for nigga like you know what I'm saying, like who I gotta vote for? You not gonna think about nothing else that's gonna come behind that door, you feel me like Jhalil: Right. Deion: You gonna get your five and pill, thinking you all right. But the Jhalil: Ain't shit, bro. Like Deion: bills and the bills of rights and all of these things that they gonna put in play. You gonna regret taking the file. Jhalil: And we talking some of them billions and trillions that be getting sent overseas for no fucking reason. Like if you talk about distributing that, all right, now we talkin'. You feel me? Where like everybody else can come here from other countries and just set up shop and not pay taxes and this and that and Like it's it's just certain things that really gotta change, bro, for me to be like, yeah, I I fuck with that. Cause like right now, bro, I don't fuck with either side to be honest, bro. Like I don't fuck with the Republicans. Well, I ain't gonna lie, I fuck with like like some of the shit. But as far as like 'cause you know as black people, bro, we was Republicans first, bro. Like and then they switched to the Democrats. And like the main thing I don't like about the like the Republicans is like it's like some type of hierarchy. You feel me? It seemed like just cause they Republican, they feel as though alright, they a little better. They a little like yeah it shit a little bit more buttoned up on that side. It's a little bit more self sufficient, but it's a lot of like racist shit going on in that in that job. Just as well as Democrats too, bro. Cause like some of the shit that's going on that the Democrats do and the like the programs that they put in the hood and all that like that's just set up for for you like they putting a leash on you, bro. Like it ain't just for you to do better. It's just for you to like, you know, get the help as needed and come back when you need some more. Like it ain't geared to like make you self sufficient, bro. And I I don't I don't really like that about it, bro. But I don't like like both sides, bro, it ain't suited. So it's like it's it's always gonna be good and bad, that duality thing. Like so it's like it's things that can change on both sides, bro. like honestly bro, I right Deion: Okay. Jhalil: now, me personally, I ain't on I ain't on none of that shit, dog. Deion: But that's why I'm saying that even that being on it is Jhalil: It's still in it. It's still in it, like. Deion: And like, you know, we sitting back and like, you know what I'm saying? We living it our lives personally. And like a lot of shit happening, you know what I mean? Like, I was reading some shit, bro, in another state somewhere, I forget the name, excuse me. But like they was on some shit about hopelessness. So If you get caught being homeless, like that's so crazy to say. Like if you get caught Jhalil: All right. Deion: being homeless, like it's a fine and some time in jail. First draw is like 10 days or some shit, 50 weights, $50 food. And then the second jaw is like a couple grand. Like if you're homeless. How you got money to pay a fine and all this, but I guess it's the attempt to like Called even though like you feel me? Jhalil: But like in like a real effort would to be like, all right, 'cause there's more homes available than it is homeless people. You feel me? Like is there's more homes available than it is people that's homeless. So why not just drop the price of fucking homes? Deion: But maybe they looking at it like we didn't gave help, assistance. And you know, I don't know if you know, but like homeless people do get it to a thing where they like, I'd rather be You're saying, 'cause it's a freedom in that too, like, not having no bills and all that. So you gotta think about it like that too. Like you a able body that's not making the the system no money, like. Jhalil: Shit, but it's like who's to even say that pussy that we gotta even be a part of this system? Like it ain't no one Deion: If they make it one. Jhalil: ruler to the fucking world, to the country, none of that shit, bro. Just cause like y'all get Deion: Thank you for that. Jhalil: these fancy titles, y'all don't run this shit. But it's like we got bamboozles that really believe that. Like, bro, it's all this land. It's land that motherfuckers never even step foot on. Feel me, so y'all telling me y'all own that too and y'all get to say and do whatever and then people supposed to just be with that shit. Like I I don't get it, bro. It's like that's that's bullshit. You gonna lock somebody up for being down on a mean? Down on their luck. Or it's somebody that might not even wanna, you Deion: But that's you know. Jhalil: know, might just wanna live on the land and just be whatever they gonna be. Like. Deion: There's a part of the with the politicians and the the political stuff like you say so if you not in it to to you know what I'm saying make the best of it. You what I'm saying? We just sit back, you know what I'm saying? And I I never was a person that won't get into politics. I'd be carrying it like it don't bother me. I don't even pay attention to that shit. But now that I'm finding myself, like I gotta start paying attention because like, man, like it might not directly be affecting me right away, but like a lot of people going through. A lot of shit. It's so weird. Like and if you don't got enough people to even defend what's happening, you know how like you get them subpoenas in the mail, first attempt, second attempt, third attempt, they gonna go on as if you not even there. And they gonna make decisions on on your behalf. You feel me? Like Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: you just gonna get a a a joan in the mail saying the results of the of the case. You know what I mean? Jhalil: That shit sneaky. That shit definitely sneaky, bro. Cause it's like, man, like, they'll make some like some dramatic shit viral. You feel me? Like on some instance, like the dirt case. Like they'll make that shit so huge that like that's all everybody talking about. That's all the algorithm showing. That's all da da da. At the same time they signing a bill that's gonna affect each and every American. You feel me? That don't get no traction. Deion: Mm-hmm. Jhalil: So it's like they they pull sneaky shit like that. And that's that's the reason. Deion: That's what I'm saying for for like we just be in it, right? So now Dirk in the case. Nobody gonna think about how he even got there. Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: It's just gonna be, it's the celebration after and shit. You feel me? Like man get get get accused of a crime he ain't do in 20 years of his life whereby and we just happy he whole. Jhalil: Okay. Deion: You get what I'm saying? And you hope and pray that it don't happen again or to somebody else. Like you get what I'm saying? It's no fight back. It's no, you know what I'm saying? Like who's who's being held accountable and none of that? If you don't Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: got the people fighting and doing all of that for that, then they get they just doing what they fuck they want. And you can take that down to the lower level. You feel me? 'Cause in the hood what happens if a nigga don't show his that he can hold what he got, it's get took it. You feel what I'm saying? So the same mindset of that shit up there is the same with us on a lower level. You get what I'm saying? Like It it'd just be crazy to me, you know what mean? Like but now I'm really seeing like, like no, I can't do Jhalil: Can't just not do shit like you you can, bro. But that's our that's Deion: Thanks. Jhalil: why we was talking the last time, bro. I'm like, that's like just letting a bully just keep hit you, like keep hitting you and keep hitting you and keep hitting you and you just trying to keep figuring out a way to avoid the bully, to not use violence, to not speak up or stand up for yourself. Like it's just it's impossible to change shit like that, bro. And like nothing ever got changed like that. Deion: Yeah. Jhalil: That's what I was saying, bro. It it gotta be a little belt. Like it it gotta be something, bro, cause it's like all the shit that's happened thus far, bro, look at the like the current state of people, bro.
