We've been 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:06.480 talking about doing something for a minute. Man, I'm glad 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:09.959 we finally was able to make it. Crack man. The 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:12.959 first thing I gotta ask you, man, is how does 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:14.840 one become Derek Grace? 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:18.040 Uh? 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:21.840 Bro, that's a great question. Bro, I ain't gonna lie. 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:23.799 I'm gonna give all the credit to my mom and 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:30.480 my pops. They were My mama was very supportive. My 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:37.240 mama was very ain'tal about reading articulation and just being 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:40.800 privy to what I'm talking about, So as I evolved, 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:42.880 it just made me want to She was just one 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:44.720 of the people. Bro. She just didn't allow like loose 0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:47.160 statements and things that nature. So you, in a sense 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:48.920 you had to like be what you say you was 0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:51.440 and say what you're gonna be. And then my pops 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:53.760 more so taught me like the business side of things, 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:57.200 which when it did start to bubble social media wise, 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:00.240 like the game that he gave me was pivotal and 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:03.160 helping me to actually monetize what my mama taught me 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:05.280 how to do to begin with. So I ain't gonna 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:08.200 live it was. It was like the perfect balance, perfect balance. 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:11.480 I'm super grateful for them because I when I'm when 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:13.720 I'm with my peers, or politics, and with my peers, 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:16.280 I just really understand how game changing it is to 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:19.200 have a hands on mom and dad. Granted they got 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:21.040 divorced when I was one. That was one thing I 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:23.320 really yearned for as a child, but outside of that, 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:26.520 they still did their thing, so everything worked out perfectly. 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:31.120 And that's dope, man. You know, I think it's sometimes 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:35.200 under it's underrated and not talked about enough. The power 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:36.840 of having the two parent household. 0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:39.880 It is bro and I'm not gonna lie I didn't. 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:45.920 I can't honestly say I didn't. I didn't value that 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:48.080 as much as I should, maybe until like the last 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:50.240 year or so, because I have ten children with five 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:54.560 different moms, so I am absolutely like a product of 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:57.400 my environment when it comes to I ain't gonna I 0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:59.720 just saw my pops navigated at a high level he 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:02.880 to beat, so I felt like it ain't that bad. 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:05.120 But I ain't gonna lie. It does make a huge difference. 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:07.760 So that's something I even though I'm not necessarily in 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:09.400 all the I can't be in each home at the 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:11.480 same time, but I do my best to spread myself 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:13.840 as then as possible to be well. 0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:17.279 You know, it's not always possible, man, for two people 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:20.640 to be together, right, but you still can't have two 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:23.200 people involved with the kids life. You feel what I'm saying. 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:24.920 That's why you have to be on the same page 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:28.280 with the mama. You know, it just makes hard. That's 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:30.680 why I telways tell my sons, man, y'all be careful. 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:31.760 We y'all have kids with. 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:33.400 Men, bro, that's a fact. 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:37.599 You careful. We've got kids here because I've had You know, 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:39.840 I got some friends to where it worked out good 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:41.880 for him, you know the way they you know, they 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:44.479 they didn't exactly it may not have worked out with 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:46.960 their child's mother, but they got good relationship with him. 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.320 And I got some people. Man, it's a disaster. Man. 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:51.920 I got one homeboy man his wifet like she want 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:54.520 to charge him to see his daughter, right right. 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:57.680 Trust me, I've I ain't gonna say I've experienced it. 0:04:58.000 --> 0:04:59.960 For the most part. I got to health their relationship 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.839 with them. But I have had some tough times where 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:05.160 I had the lawyer up and play that game and 0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:08.240 go to court and fight and go through all that nonsense. 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:09.680 So I know exactly how to go. 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:12.800 Well. One thing you can't say about I bet you 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:14.600 all them girls would know how to fight and take care 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:15.520 of themselfs. 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:20.120 Oh man, that's that's a prerequisite. They gotta i mean, 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:23.120 for lack of better terms, they gotta know how to kill. 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:25.600 That's that's just top of my list. Like you gotta 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:28.080 know how to defend yourself lethal and non lethal. 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:30.919 Well, that's real and more than likely it's gonna be 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:34.800 lethal nowadays, because these people are coming with barbaric contentions. Man, 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:37.359 the world, this is getting real, MANI out there right now. 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:40.520 Man, Man, I literally just seen a video before me 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:45.280 and you hopped on and saying that a medical examiner 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:48.479 had removed the man's genitals and they caught them with 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:50.559 it in their mouth. And I'm like, these these people 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:53.640 are just losing their minds in twenty twenty five. Like it's, yeah, 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:56.200 a different type of crazy going on right now. 0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:59.040 Yeah, it's a different it's a real different type of crazy. 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:01.760 And the one thing I'm say, in especially in the 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:05.279 black community, manage these kids. Man. They got they just 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:08.960 it's reckless, abandoned now man, no regard for what's right 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:12.080 or whatever. And on top of that, they're not covering 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:14.120 up their face and they putting this stuff out there 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:15.800 like they want the world. You know, we just whooked 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:17.560 on this dude's ass. We want the whole world to 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:21.839 know about it. I think these kids just chasing penitentiary. 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:23.520 They're doing rocks in the penitentiary. Man. 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:27.000 I said that in a video earlier. I'm like, Okay, 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:30.040 Like when we was kids, you know, listening to our uncles, 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:32.640 our elders, they would say things like, man, you gotta 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:35.719 watch out for them cameras that this new generation, like 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:37.760 where is the camera? Get the camera now? 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:43.080 Yeah, social currency is all about social currency now. 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:48.000 And you're a big proponent of self defense and knowing 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:50.400 how to take care of yourself. But you also you know, 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:52.800 you spend a lot of wisdom. That's why I love 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:55.880 when you break down the videos and what they're doing 0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:58.440 wrong and what could you know the consequences of those 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:01.359 actions could be. You must have had some hill of 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:02.880 personal experiences, man. 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:07.279 I did, so I've had them on both ends, which 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:10.000 I'm grateful for. So I was a N one one 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.960 dispatcher for five years from no. Four years from eighteen 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:17.000 to twenty two. My pop says, yeah, my pop says, 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:20.400 retired secret service. And I was a badass kid. 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:23.800 So you retired secret service. 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:27.280 Yeah, yep. So from picking up the phone and saying 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:30.240 now on one with short emergency to shooting somebody myself 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:33.440 to having my own run ends where I used my gun. 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:35.200 I mean nothing I'm proud of, but I've shot two 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:39.360 people in my lifetime. Uh, And to being just head 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:42.080 first and the street shit and just making poor choices. 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:44.560 So I've been able to see it up close and 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:47.080 personal on the receiving end and the other end. 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:50.480 So we could talk about the two individuals who could 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:51.520 cut those bullets. 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:52.920 Oh, yeah, for sure. 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:56.960 But what happened the first time you shot two people 0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:59.760 to the once? Two people at once? Yeah? Two people 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:01.880 that okay, people want whatever? 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:08.600 In short? Uh, it was. It was on my birthday, 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:10.760 so shooting somebody was the last thing on my mind. 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:13.640 I don't really know anybody. I always tell people that, like, 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:15.920 trust me, that wasn't my intent. I don't know anybody 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.720 like yeah, man, that just made twenty nine. I want 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:21.240 to kill somebody. So that wasn't my intent at all. 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:24.040 But I went to pick up my lady at that time, 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:27.640 and her mom, well she's happened to be the mother 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:30.680 of my children. At this point, we went because at 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:32.360 that point we didn't have any children. We went on 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:35.440 to have five children after that, which makes our family 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:40.160 dynamic even more interest in these days. But so I 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:42.160 go to go pick her up. I hate driving, though, 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:45.360 so when I pull up to the crib, I automatically 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:47.040 jump in the passengers. See, that's what that was just 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:48.840 my thing with her. She drive me everywhere because I 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:52.840 just hate being behind the wheel. And Bro, I learned 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:54.160 a lot of lessons that night, but one of the 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.040 main ones was just like the power of the tongue, 0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:58.080 because like, literally before it happened, I'm on the phone 0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:00.480 with my cousin and I was just like, Cousin, these 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:02.520 niggas gonna get my timing wrong one day and I'm 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:05.319 being to kill somebody. He's like who, And I'm like, Bro, 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:07.880 every time I come around here, like these motherfuckers just 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:10.560 be weird when I pull up and when I'm saying, 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:12.600 motherfucker's is it okay to speak freely? 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:14.040 Yeah? Yeah, you speak for that. 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:17.360 So I'm referring to like I've known her since I 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:20.480 was ten. We've been rocking that long. I'm thirty five now, 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:24.959 her youngest well, her oldest brother, but he's the youngest 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:26.720 of the brothers. Him and I were best friends. That's 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:28.880 how I got introduced to her anyway. But the other brothers, 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:31.319 some of them, they just give me weird energy every 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:33.800 time I come around.

I'm like, look, 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:14.920 please don't come playing. And I got Dereka in the 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:17.600 car and Bro, I never forget, Like she looked back 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:20.160 at Dereka in the back seat and like sucked her 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:25.840 teeth on, basically like I don't give a fuck. Yeah 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:26.320 she's one. 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:29.520 Hey, but she drunk too. 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:31.680 No, No, she won't drunk.

I'm not tripping, 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:49.560 but grown ass man, I ain't playing with at all. 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:51.840 And I just literally said like, hey, Dereka in the 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:55.280 back seat, and Bro, I never forget. Like it was 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:58.800 like the most slow motion but fastest thing ever happened. 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:00.840 Bro came to the passage door and I was like, Bro, 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:03.720 if you open the door, I'm gonna kill you because 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:06.440 the window was slightly cracked. And he said some more 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:09.520 cool movie shit like I done seen everything except blah 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:12.080 blah blah, and he opened that motherfucker anyway, Bro, And 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:16.320 before he could reach his hand in there, I just swung. 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:18.760 I swung my body to the left towards the driver's 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:21.240 seat holster. I remember had a glock twenty seven at night, 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:23.720 because the police never gave it back to me. It 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:26.480 was in the holster. But the way the host said up, 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:28.920 if you push it down in a plot pressure, it widens, 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:31.080 So you just snatched the gun right out. I just 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:34.120 in one motion snatched it out, start firing out the 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:36.720 he swung, he did swing, but he didn't even get 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:40.400 to connect. I started firing out the passenger door. And 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:42.520 this was the most unfortunate part of the whole story. 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:46.560 Mom being the mom runs in the way, and she 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:48.920 threw her hand up. I don't know why, like as 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:51.120 if a hand gonna stop a bullet, like she. 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:52.960 Used to kick the bullet man. She might have thought 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:54.200 she was a super woman in summing. 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:57.000 Nah, she ended up losing her finger. Her finger got 0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:58.840 shot out, and he got shot in the chest. 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:01.480 So she know she went paning for them. 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:07.200 Now she found Yeah, she found out that night. And 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:09.120 it was even crazy after the fact. Is my my 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:13.120 adrenaline pumping? I men fight a flight, And then I 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:14.959 know I knew her adrenaline was home because after I 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:18.960 shot her, I jump out and I draw down and 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:21.520 she started walking towards me like literally her finger is off, 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:24.720 like it's her ring, the thing literally hanging on by 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:27.560 a string. And she walking towards me, looking like a zombie. 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:29.840 And I was like, I'm looking at her, and I'm like, okay, 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:33.280 this motherlefucker really only she done got shot and she 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:36.160 she's still pulling up on me, like give me some more, 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:38.280 and like, bro, it was crazy. She just stopped dead 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:40.800 in her tracks and was like, get in the house, 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:42.400 get in the house. And then they just they shot 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:44.840 up the drawway. They ran in the house. The brother, 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:46.920 the same brother, he come back out mine. You know. 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:48.640 The whole time, I ain't even get to tell my 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:50.760 would be in the future, baby mama on my side. 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:52.520 This shit happened so fast. I don't even get a 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:54.920 text her like hey, come on, let's go. 0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:58.880 So she's still in the house doing the whole time, stuff. 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:01.160 Going on, getting ready the whole time. I don't shot 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:04.160 her people's and she she in the house doing not 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:06.160 doing makeup, but you know, doing with girls. 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:11.120 So man, I bet y'all and you y'all got five 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:11.800 kids together. 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:15.240 Yeah, we went on to have five children after that. 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:18.600 Christmas time.

That's one of 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:26.240 the main things that I do. I'm not mad at 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:28.520 me for standing in this situation because, like like I said, 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:30.840 when it comes to my children, I'm just not playing. 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:34.600 But you can't play because you don't know what nobody's intentions. 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:36.800 He is, man, absolutely, and I made it clear. I'm 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:38.520 like Derek back then, and just the look she gave 0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:40.760 me was just like, I don't give a fuck, and 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:42.760 I'm just like, all right, well you don't give a fuck. 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:44.040 You know, I don't give it and I ain't gonna lie. 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:44.160 Bro. 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:46.200 Back then, I was wild. 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:46.760 I was. 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:51.640 I hate to admit this, bro, But like I remember thinking, 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:56.560 I remember having times back then where I would ponder 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:59.440 on what it's like to kill somebody, and I now 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:01.880 that I couldn't wait, but I in a sense I 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:04.280 couldn't wait to show like what I was made of. Like, man, 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:06.760 the first time a motherfucker play with me, I'm a 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:09.240 fire ass up. And that was that wasn't the first time. 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:11.200 It was some other people that have but it didn't 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:12.920 I ain't had to shoot them. When I updated or 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:15.720 I went to they stood down, and I'm not a 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:18.800 bully whatsoever. Like if they don't want no problem, I'm 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:21.480 cool too, because I really don't want that neither. But yeah, man, 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:24.160 I got out of there, and because I wasn't no 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:26.960 one dispatcher, and based on the things that my pops 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:29.120 taught me, I knew exactly what to do. So I 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:32.920 made the call. Police ended up coming to pull me 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:34.920 and my daughter out the car, put me in cuffs, 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:38.560 went through the whole situation, and then when my pops arrived, Bro, 0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:41.520 that was one of the biggest examples I ever seen 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:46.000 of nepotism. I had never seen a shooting handle in 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:48.640 that manner of my life, but I knew that no lie. 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:51.000 Like after that, I started teaching people heavily about nepotism 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:53.480 because I realized then, like a lot of this shit 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:55.280 truly is about who you know and the way in 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:59.240 which they Yeah, man, the way in which they handled 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:01.400 me and they treated me. After that, I was like, Okay, 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:05.000 we definitely got us an ace in the whole You 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:06.920 would have thought I got shot. They treated me like 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:07.520 I was hurt. 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:10.480 Let me ask you this, did you have the tattoos 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:12.200 and stuff on your face at that time. 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:14.240 Yeah I did. I didn't have as many, but yeah 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:15.240 I had a couple of tattoos on. 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:18.520 You still had them. So the police suit because, like, man, 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:21.160 usually when they see somebody that like you were me, 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:24.520 it's automatic, man, especially if I don't have my glasses on. 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:28.560 Man and I'm dressing a certain way, I'm just assumed 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:29.400 like he did. 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:32.160 It, not gonna lie. They treated me like shit when 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:33.800 they first got there, like the way they got me out. 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:37.000 They had me at gunpoint. I remember the dude saying 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:39.200 because it was a little scary. I remember the dude 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:41.000 saying like don't. He was like, don't look at me, 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:44.520 don't turn around, put your hands on your head, excuse me, 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:48.080 interlock your fingers and take twelve steps back. And bro, 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:51.200 I'm not even thinking. My adrenaline excuse me, my adrenaline 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:53.600 on tin, like my stomach cramping. I ain't never felt 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:56.480 cramped like that in my life. My adrenaline was on tin. 0:16:56.560 --> 0:16:59.520 Like I got shot. So I'm taking the steps backwards 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:02.760 and I shot my basketball shorts go to falling down 0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:04.640 and I reached and lifted and he was like, hey, 0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:06.760 if you reach for them shorts again, I'm gonna kill you, 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:09.520 and I'm like, I'm tripping. What the fuck? I was like, yeah, 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:11.960 you're right, I'm letting the fuckers fall down. I reach again, 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:15.240 but I'm my mind is still gone based on the 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:17.440 shoot and I just had literally like five minutes ago. 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:19.359 But anyway, they threw me in the car way. He 0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:22.880 searched me. I never forget to search. I'm like, bro, 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:24.879 you comfortable touching it? Man like that? And he was like, 0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:27.359 you just fucking shot somebody. I got a shirt and 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:28.960 searched you the right way. He did that, But like 0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:32.679 I said, with my Pops called up, the conversation completely changed, 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:35.560 like to the point where I remember him. One of 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:38.760 the resting officers came with an iPod and he was 0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:40.920 just like, hey, you know, the best thing I got 0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:42.840 in here is Meek Mill or eminem which one you 0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:44.200 want to listen to? And I knew them. 0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:44.280 Bro. 0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:50.680 I was like, okay, this, yeah, yeah, this is Pops. 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:52.560 Wn't it came? If you didn't have your Pops, man, 0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:55.440 you probably Billy Club and all kinds of stuff. 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:58.119 And still case, you know, I was gonna say that 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:00.000 they definitely probably I'm me in my pops telling me 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:02.040 he was like, now, they definitely, they definitely was gonna 0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:03.960 try to charge you with aggravated as saw he named 0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:05.560 like three of the things. But I definitely would have 0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:07.560 got hit with some charges and then whether it got 0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:09.199 clear self defense or not, I would have had to 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:11.240 go to court and beat them. But based on who 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:13.919 my family is on my part sport up. It was 0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:16.280
