Speaker 1: long ass ballot and like the like the computer, and
Speaker 1: you gotta just you can't just go one ticket. You

Speaker 1: the computer and with your with your with your key
Speaker 1: in and then you gotta turn around and walk to
Speaker 1: another fucking machine and put your papers in it. Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: And then before you even even before that, you gotta
Speaker 1: wait in the long ends line, which is I'm not
Speaker 1: mad at the line, but don't don't you know every
Speaker 1: he listened to me, Willie, it's like every fucking time,
Speaker 1: you know, every time we get right there, oh man
Speaker 1: for the grandst sucking boy, and motherfucker's raised that bit
Speaker 1: so you can't touch it. Why why bro Um, I
Speaker 1: would say, intrinsic intrinsic wickedness. That's fucking cold blood man.
Speaker 1: It's like every time you they're like, oh, no, motherfucker
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods hitting the ball too, goddamn fall. We're gonna
Speaker 1: push your tea box back. Uh uh. Black people getting
Speaker 1: too much motherfucking money wrapping. We're find of take all
Speaker 1: the music at the stoves and no uniggas ain't got
Speaker 1: no computer, so catch up, you know that kind of ship,
Speaker 1: all the mom and pops go on. Now you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like, it's just wow, man, It's like
Speaker 1: every time you get to that point, it's another point
Speaker 1: to be reached. But you know what the other side
Speaker 1: to that coin is, just like if we were both
Speaker 1: playing on a A wop side of basketball, go we
Speaker 1: both got to make the ball go through that hole.
Speaker 1: So just like the voters, uh Democratic voters who upset
Speaker 1: with with them, you know, trying to change the rules
Speaker 1: and all of that stuff and make it harder, trying
Speaker 1: to suppress the votes or whatever, just like they have
Speaker 1: to send in that long line, just like they have
Speaker 1: to go through that process of hitting one each button
Speaker 1: one at a time. Republicans and everybody else have to
Speaker 1: go through the same thing. So and and so so
Speaker 1: I think I think that, um, you're not putting a
Speaker 1: Democratic Republican on this ship under Well, true, we have
Speaker 1: to go through the same ship man, But I think
Speaker 1: that some people have more time and more patience than others. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and the point that yeah and so and so too much.
Speaker 1: As given much is required and you're giving that vote,
Speaker 1: then they're gonna require more for that vote. Then that's
Speaker 1: what it is. If they want more for the vote,
Speaker 1: then everybody as long as everybody has to meet those
Speaker 1: same requirements, it is what it is. And you know,
Speaker 1: if if you think that your vote matters that much,
Speaker 1: if you value the vote value, if you value the
Speaker 1: process that much, if you value the political process and
Speaker 1: democracy that much, then you just deal with it. I
Speaker 1: value value the political process. But sometimes it feels like we,
Speaker 1: well I can't say we as Democrats or we as
Speaker 1: whatever we are, are dumb as fish. You know how
Speaker 1: you how you throw your line in the water, man,
Speaker 1: you catch your fish, man, and you you're marked him
Speaker 1: or fucking you throw it back and now and then
Speaker 1: you throw your line back out there and you catch
Speaker 1: that My fucking it's the same fish I feel like
Speaker 1: that's what what happens to us um at election time,
Speaker 1: because they court the funk out of you until they
Speaker 1: get what it is they want for They court man,
Speaker 1: come around to the back folks when campaigns and the
Speaker 1: black votes. Yeah, I said that should vote a man
Speaker 1: they don't know. Yeah, they can't do jack folk. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess it's true. We tell me you don't fight fat.
Speaker 1: You turn my get to fantasy into a night man
Speaker 1: that ship the ghetto fantasy. I said that only on
Speaker 1: ghetto fantasy. When we we we we we years ago?
Speaker 1: That a long I don't know, that's I can't remember ship.
Speaker 1: I am still drunk for years ago. Yeah, I'm still
Speaker 1: dropped from from the week. But they court us until
Speaker 1: they get what they want from us, and then they
Speaker 1: don't know you no more until it's time to run again.
Speaker 1: So whose fault is that? Though? Whose fat is that?
Speaker 1: Let me finish, That's what I'm saying, let me finish.
Speaker 1: I feel like we fish get caught in the same
Speaker 1: ship over and over and we're not getting nothing for it.
Speaker 1: See what I'm saying, Like, what are we getting for it?
Speaker 1: And I'm asking this question because I want to know
Speaker 1: I'm asking you the question, like, what are we getting
Speaker 1: for our vote? You know, Um, I'm not talking about
Speaker 1: nobody else, Willie. I'm talking about let's say, okay, Democrat,
Speaker 1: what are we getting for that vote? What are we
Speaker 1: getting for that Democratic vote? The same thing you're getting
Speaker 1: for the Republican bullshit. The Republicans is getting ship done. Bullshit,
Speaker 1: that's bullshit. What what What are the Republicans doing whatever
Speaker 1: the fun they want to do? What are they doing
Speaker 1: for black nothing? That's my point. I'm talking about what
Speaker 1: we're getting. We ain't getting shipped, okay, alright with republic
Speaker 1: and our Democrats, we ain't getting ship man, they overturned.
Speaker 1: Feel good is in. I'm part of the voters process.
Speaker 1: You get, you get to feel good. I would never
Speaker 1: I would never, um, fix my mouth, tell somebody my nigga,
Speaker 1: don't go vote money, you know, don't do that, don't
Speaker 1: go vote. I would never do that, Willie. So so
Speaker 1: we like holding on right now, we're voting just to
Speaker 1: hold on until we can get our ship together. I
Speaker 1: don't think we're gonna get our ship together. It's not
Speaker 1: enough of us who give a fuck about getting all
Speaker 1: ship together to get our ship together, Okay, like as
Speaker 1: grown men, as grown older men like you and I.
Speaker 1: We have grown up so we can look back. We
Speaker 1: can look back at at what's behind us, and we
Speaker 1: know we need fucking trouble, Willie. We're in trouble as
Speaker 1: the people were in trouble. I'm looking back. I'm looking
Speaker 1: back at Don't get me wrong, though, it's some great,
Speaker 1: great kids out there that's making some strong ass moves.
Speaker 1: But that other ship that's going on out there were
Speaker 1: in trouble. Okay, what what is this other ship? Man?
Speaker 1: Really dying for nothing? Bro? Mm hmm. Dane by accident, Brom.
Speaker 1: Wake up in the morning wanting to die, you know,
Speaker 1: waking up in the morning, wanting to be uh put
Speaker 1: on the T shirt, you know, wake up in the
Speaker 1: morning wanting to kill um another young brother because he
Speaker 1: ate ops mm hmmm. No, And I'm talking about I
Speaker 1: was it this was it? Was it that bad when
Speaker 1: we were growing up? No, it was it wasn't wasn't man,
Speaker 1: it wasn't. I know. I try to be as objective
Speaker 1: about this as possible. Just it just was not. That
Speaker 1: ship is bad, bro. And then the cold part about it,
Speaker 1: at least when we was on some street ship. We
Speaker 1: still had direction, you see what I'm saying, Like we
Speaker 1: was on some street ship, but we knew that we
Speaker 1: was gonna get out. We were we wanted to get
Speaker 1: out of this ship. And for the most part that
Speaker 1: was a certain unwritten code. Certain chips you just don't do.
Speaker 1: Certain people don't go. They don't go, period, they don't.
Speaker 1: And I'll be telling I'll be telling, Um, I'm telling
Speaker 1: uh kids, and I tell some of the homies too, man.
Speaker 1: Like it's some it's some people, um that you just
Speaker 1: have to respect and give a pass to because they
Speaker 1: don't go, you know what I mean, Like like women
Speaker 1: and children don't go. Um, the elderly don't go. Up.
Speaker 1: Respected people respected people we respected, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like like like Williams respected. You know, face is respected, Um,
Speaker 1: chief and the mayor respected. It's just certain people that
Speaker 1: just don't go. And the generation that's that's behind us
Speaker 1: don't give a funk about none of that. And why
Speaker 1: is why is it that the trip part about it
Speaker 1: that statement that you made, is that some people wear
Speaker 1: that like that statement like a badge of honor. Man,
Speaker 1: we young mean, we don't, we don't give a fuck.
Speaker 1: Were young man. It's young side. I know that's your thing.
Speaker 1: But man, but but we aso man, we don't give
Speaker 1: a fuck. What why is that view to some people
Speaker 1: by something people as ad some type of badge of honor.
Speaker 1: I remember speaking to a group once at at an
Speaker 1: alternative school, and it's a school where they take the kids,
Speaker 1: where they send the kids or supposedly bad the bad kids.
Speaker 1: Right trying to speaking to these kids, and I asked them,
Speaker 1: how many people in here see themselves? I mean, what
Speaker 1: do you see yourself? That's what I said, What do
Speaker 1: you see to see yourselves in ten years? I want
Speaker 1: you to ask that question, answer that question. And one
Speaker 1: at a time they raise their hands and and they
Speaker 1: gave the answer like I don't I had Like that
Speaker 1: was maybe it was a room or maybe twenty five kids,
Speaker 1: and probably maybe two kids saw themselves in twenty years,
Speaker 1: you know, their future, and twenty years like like how
Speaker 1: to night dear? What what they wanted to do in
Speaker 1: twenty years? And what I say about that is, if
Speaker 1: you can't see yourself in the future, you're probably not
Speaker 1: going to be in the future, damn. Like you have
Speaker 1: to envision yourself alive and well and doing things, being constructive,
Speaker 1: having a family. You know, like where you're gonna live,
Speaker 1: you know, like what kind of career you're gonna have.
Speaker 1: You gotta have an idea of that. At least you
Speaker 1: have to at least say to yourself, this is what
Speaker 1: I want out of life. But to just wake up
Speaker 1: every day aimlessly, not not having any kind of plans,
Speaker 1: no idea, whatever you want to do, put that very dangerous.
Speaker 1: I put the blame on us, the parents. You know why. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because the first thing that we say is I don't
Speaker 1: want my kids had to go through what I went
Speaker 1: through growing up and and and looking back on the ship.
Speaker 1: We may have babied them to to a certain extent,
Speaker 1: to to where that we you know, to any film privilege,
Speaker 1: that's true. But most I do believe most of the
Speaker 1: kids that's doing the killing, really taking part in all
Speaker 1: of the violence and the robberish and ship like that,
Speaker 1: these are kids that have been neglected. These are not
Speaker 1: kids that were protected. These are kids who have been neglected,
Speaker 1: who have been abandoned. Uh. You know, kids who was
Speaker 1: raised by their grandparents, mom and jail dad and jail
Speaker 1: dead whatever. These are kids that have been neglected. You
Speaker 1: know that were discarded basically by society, not just parents,
Speaker 1: not just their parents, but also society at large. Look
Speaker 1: at the school system. You know, the school system is
Speaker 1: really a baby, you know, it's it's like a nursery.
Speaker 1: It's really not dad to really like when these kids
Speaker 1: coming to school, to school is not yet you're come
Speaker 1: on in, We're gonna make you great. You come on in,
Speaker 1: We're gonna we're gonna hone your skills and your your
Speaker 1: life skills and show you how to become productive, if good,
Speaker 1: you know, law abiding citizens or whatever. You know. I
Speaker 1: know that's not totally the school's responsibility, but the kids
Speaker 1: spend you know, seven eight hours a day in these schools,
Speaker 1: and so they gotta be they gotta be taught real
Speaker 1: life skills, not just stuff to not just stuff to
Speaker 1: get by and make the time go by and just
Speaker 1: to make them just seem like they're smart or whatever.
Speaker 1: They gotta be taught real life skills. Why is it
Speaker 1: that these kids are not being taught uh, entrepreneurship. Why
Speaker 1: are they not being taught trades? They were being taught
Speaker 1: trades at one point and they took them out of
Speaker 1: the schools. Why not? Why are they not being taught
Speaker 1: about credit? Why not? Why are they not being taught
Speaker 1: conflict resolution? That's more important than fucking science. That's more.
Speaker 1: That's more important in science, that's more. That's that's more
Speaker 1: important than um um, you know, biology and all that
Speaker 1: ship you're not gonna use, you're not. I was having
Speaker 1: a conversation with somebody um the other day, and we
Speaker 1: was talking about everything that we needed, what we needed
Speaker 1: from school. You know what did we actually take from
Speaker 1: school that we used today? And I was like, ship,
Speaker 1: I mean, I take counting. I took counting from school.
Speaker 1: I took reading, um, vocabulary, language usage, and ship like that.
Speaker 1: But but in the history, I know my history. But imagine,
Speaker 1: I mean, what what what can you do with history
Speaker 1: besides just know it. I was about to say, you
Speaker 1: don't need history to to to like make it in
Speaker 1: the world, Like you don't need to know history. But
Speaker 1: what you what you do need to know is mathematic
Speaker 1: And I know somebody screaming right now, you know, you
Speaker 1: know you don't know history, don't know where you came from,
Speaker 1: you don't know, you know, you don't need to know
Speaker 1: who the hell Frederick Douglas is are Andrew Jackson is
Speaker 1: to to to actually make it through through a day
Speaker 1: in in this society. You don't need to know that.
Speaker 1: What what you do need to know is understand is
Speaker 1: how to read. You need to know mathematics, you need
Speaker 1: you need to know, you need to know um uh,
Speaker 1: you need to be able to know how to communicate
Speaker 1: effectively and and but you also need to know conflict
Speaker 1: resolution skills. See, that's one of the biggest things you
Speaker 1: don't know you need to see, man C C C.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, but I don't need to be speaking
Speaker 1: on it if I don't know about it now. Just
Speaker 1: because I know conflict resolution, don't mean that you know
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do the right thing all the time. But
Speaker 1: I understand conflict resolution. You don't get to be fifty
Speaker 1: six being a damn food you see what I'm saying. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and your ass right behind me by high school, your
Speaker 1: answers right behind by high school. You're right behind me.
Speaker 1: But these kids, they do need to learn conflict resolution,
Speaker 1: because what good is it that, Okay, you went to
Speaker 1: you know, you got a job, you got a career,
Speaker 1: you got a lot of money and ship, but you
Speaker 1: just got got smoked over nothing. Over a petty over
Speaker 1: a petty argument, something that didn't mean nothing. You just
Speaker 1: got smoked. It means nothing. You know, all that money,
Speaker 1: you can't take that money to grade with you. That
Speaker 1: money ain't gonna bring you back alive. The money ain't
Speaker 1: gonna do CPR. None of that. Yeah, none of that.
Speaker 1: So so they need the kids need to be taught
Speaker 1: real life skills that can help them navigate through this wild, crazy,
Speaker 1: beautiful Worldloged podcast will be right back after the poet. Man,

Speaker 1: wanted to go to can Coo. So he threw his
Speaker 1: family under the bus. Willie. I don't respect no man
Speaker 1: that would throw his family and that, like, yeah, you'll
Speaker 1: push your family on the front of a train. This
Speaker 1: ain't your ass, you know. The dude though, I don't
Speaker 1: think he I think his family is just I think
Speaker 1: they're just placeholders, you know, for for his political aspirations.
Speaker 1: And here's why I say that, because look at how
Speaker 1: he allowed Trump to talk about his Trump like a dog. Man.
Speaker 1: Look him, man, This dude has no spine and man
Speaker 1: talked about his daddy kind of man. Look him, man,
Speaker 1: if Trump would have said any motherfucking thing about anybody,
Speaker 1: ain't no way I was gonna ride with it. As
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, if I was in this guy's position,
Speaker 1: I got to put my hands on that motherfucker. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he ain't built like that, I am. He's not what
Speaker 1: you said that And Mattress Mac is tour and Mattress

Speaker 1: see Paul and Johnny dangerous. But man, when they saw
Speaker 1: Mattress Mac, Mattress Mac, Mattress Mac like that ship, he
Speaker 1: went hard for that ship. Yeah. I told I told,
Speaker 1: I told Mac that he needed that for his legacy.
Speaker 1: No ship like, yeah, that was good. You know, that's
Speaker 1: that's that's a that's a Cheerry on top moment. I'm

Speaker 1: Nobody else, no other politician, no artists, no business person,
Speaker 1: no nobody got booed except him. Besides him. There was
Speaker 1: no problems at the parade period. Nobody likes this guy.
Speaker 1: In the hell does he get elected? I just believe
Speaker 1: that they gotta be. He's probably running in a section
Speaker 1: of the city that where he's accepted. You see what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Like those congressmen and those senators, they are
Speaker 1: they they got small um blocks of in the city
Speaker 1: that they hold down you see what I'm saying. So
Speaker 1: maybe his block is down with his ship, yeo, because
Speaker 1: if he you know what, like if I ran against
Speaker 1: Ted Crews, I got in the race with him and
Speaker 1: and A and a and ran as an independent with
Speaker 1: him with a with a Democrat, you would run as
Speaker 1: an independent, I would just the fuck's vote up the
Speaker 1: Democrat and then yeah, it might suck the Democratic, but
Speaker 1: I really, he's not gonna he's not gonna affect him.
Speaker 1: I want to affect him. I might just run against
Speaker 1: him as a Democrat then just the fun. But then yeah,
Speaker 1: I gotta get us. You have to switch up. You
Speaker 1: have to run, you have to infiltrate the Republican boardy.
Speaker 1: I don't even look like a Republican man. Where you
Speaker 1: don't have to look like a Republican. All you got
Speaker 1: to do is sound like a Republican. I don't know. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm I don't look like a Republican like I'm I'm, I'm,
Speaker 1: but I'm not. Um. I have some conservative absolutely, yeah,
Speaker 1: I do. Well, we all do, if you want to
Speaker 1: be honest. Yeah, but I don't look I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't fit the description of a Republican man because I
Speaker 1: would not. I would not, I would not, so my
Speaker 1: mouth shut to watch your starff. You know why most
Speaker 1: black people don't vote Republican in my opinion, because these
Speaker 1: Nazi boys and Proud Boys and KKK, they're too comfortable
Speaker 1: in the Republican Party. And it's as simple as that.
Speaker 1: Because we got a lot of conservative views. We got
Speaker 1: a lot of conservative views, a lot you know, like,
Speaker 1: but when it comes to that piece right there, that's
Speaker 1: the piece that say, Yo, if they're in that party,
Speaker 1: I don't want to be in it, you know how.
Speaker 1: I don't agree with that. But you know how, sometimes
Speaker 1: you can hear about a party and it's going down
Speaker 1: and you find out somebody that you don't really mess with.
Speaker 1: I ain't going. I ain't going. I don't I don't
Speaker 1: care what y'all doing. I'm not going. Well, here's the thing, Willie,
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta kind of pull that back because
Speaker 1: we we we we we we prayed to the you know,
Speaker 1: the same god. We believe in the same god as
Speaker 1: though is those Proud Boys and those we're telling Christians,
Speaker 1: you're gonna tell me, You're gonna tell me that they
Speaker 1: don't cleaning their guns and their Bibles they do. Okay,
Speaker 1: what do you mean if they don't believe in the
Speaker 1: same God, what the hell is it impossible? It's it's
Speaker 1: impossible to believe in the same God and have the
Speaker 1: type of this and the type of energy that they
Speaker 1: have for human beings. It's impossible. My God, that's done. Huh,
Speaker 1: they're doing it. Nah. Like I said, it's my opinion
Speaker 1: that they prayed to the devil, not God. That's my
Speaker 1: opinion for the devil, that the God that the devils
Speaker 1: got to be that God because of the stuff that
Speaker 1: they do to human beings, it got to be. Well,
Speaker 1: I know, we need to start changing advantage if I
Speaker 1: write the vote because they're shaving be gone. Hey man,
Speaker 1: you see them, you see all the seats leaving. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they did it to themselves though they had it. Man,
Speaker 1: they had to slam dunk. You know, they slammed dunk.
Speaker 1: I mean they had it, man, they had The Democrats
Speaker 1: had it. They had it, and again once again they
Speaker 1: they took the black boat for granted, and they got
Speaker 1: what they got. You know, they just they're just not
Speaker 1: built in my opinion. Uh, they're not built to last.
Speaker 1: They're just not built the last. Like me if I
Speaker 1: if I if I get on top, if I'm winning,
Speaker 1: I want to destroy my opponent. I am going to
Speaker 1: suck all of the life out of them. If I
Speaker 1: put my foot on their neck, I am going to
Speaker 1: keep it there until it snaps and they stopped moving.
Speaker 1: I'm not letting them off the hook at all. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna relax. And the Democrats, when they get what
Speaker 1: they want, they start relaxing and think it's all good.
Speaker 1: And not just the the the elected officials, but their
Speaker 1: constituents also. They just relaxed. That's that's why they don't
Speaker 1: have any follow through. There's no follow through, so that's
Speaker 1: no self accounting, that's no accountability. They think that as
Speaker 1: soon as I when I vote, that's it. When I vote,
Speaker 1: my vote is so powerful that all I gotta do
Speaker 1: is vote, and things are gonna go my way. And
Speaker 1: then when things don't go that way, they get discouraged
Speaker 1: and they don't they don't want to vote at all.
Speaker 1: They go and just jump ship. But what those Republicans do, Oh,
Speaker 1: it didn't happen this time. We're going harder next time.
Speaker 1: We're gonna go harder next time. But the biggest thing
Speaker 1: that they do is hold their elected officials accountable. And
Speaker 1: the Democrats ain't got that in there they and when
Speaker 1: when they do. When you do have Democrats who try
Speaker 1: to hold elected officials accountable, the here come to gatekeepers
Speaker 1: telling you shut up, be quiet, I got this. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna talk to him. I got it. I'm representing us,
Speaker 1: I got it, and nothing gets done. Yeah. No. The
Speaker 1: one of the biggest that's one of the biggest problems
Speaker 1: with the Democratic Party is the the gatekeepers. The gatekeepers,
Speaker 1: they say, look, man, this is what we got, what
Speaker 1: was what we got going on, this is what we're doing,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna take care of you. I need you
Speaker 1: to take care of them. Keep them in lighting. That's
Speaker 1: what's happening. Yeah, that's what's happening. Hey, did you hear
Speaker 1: about that? The story of the guy who shot the
Speaker 1: chick with the a K forty seven in Denver? Don't
Speaker 1: do what? So this girl was walking her name is uh,
Speaker 1: what's her name Isabella? I can't say, I can't remember
Speaker 1: her last name. But she was walking her dog with
Speaker 1: her boyfriend, dude named Darien. And this the neighbor uh
Speaker 1: he he uh took a fense to their dog. Taking
Speaker 1: up dump you know, near his apartment complex. And they
Speaker 1: he told her, you know, he yelled at her about it,
Speaker 1: and the chick told him, mind your business. Dude got
Speaker 1: an a K for the seven and dumped on him
Speaker 1: twenty five times, dumped on her and the dude and
Speaker 1: killed her. The dude survived, but this happened in but
Speaker 1: they just gave him a life sentence. It took him
Speaker 1: that long to get a life couple of years. You know,
Speaker 1: you gotta go through the trial phase and all that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. But yeah, um, should they should? Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: that that's that's pretty fucked up. The guy that you
Speaker 1: heard about the way they got stabbed on the metro
Speaker 1: rail and and and and she died. Yeah, okay, well
Speaker 1: lady got apped on the metro reel and then later
Speaker 1: died from her injury injuries and Metro Houston. Yeah, on
Speaker 1: the Metro rel metro link or whatever that she does.
Speaker 1: And man, do you know that that was my best
Speaker 1: friend growing up? Yeah, m hmm, that was my best
Speaker 1: friend growing up. That was he did that? Uh when
Speaker 1: I saw his um mug shot and um him dressed
Speaker 1: in in in the county clothes or whatever. You know,
Speaker 1: how when they showed us the suspect on TV or
Speaker 1: some ship. You know what I thought to myself, Willie,
Speaker 1: I said, Man, that could have been me, like a motherfucker,
Speaker 1: because we was that tight. You know, we was that tight.
Speaker 1: We we we we we stole cause we smoked, read,
Speaker 1: we skipped school, we got drunk, we was we was
Speaker 1: there in my partner. But you'd be surprised. Man, what
Speaker 1: what what people will do? And what's the fund is
Speaker 1: going on in your mind when you're doing this ship?
Speaker 1: Why would you do this? You know? Um shot? Yeah,
Speaker 1: when's the last time you spoke to him? I just
Speaker 1: spoke to him on his birthday August to ten. And
Speaker 1: did he seem to have any type of mental issues? Oh?
Speaker 1: He's fucking batshit crazy, you know. But I don't know man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but that yeah, funked it up. It's all bad. But
Speaker 1: we are in we living in the world Willie, where
Speaker 1: we really gotta be on guard. Do you remember that
Speaker 1: saying when them when them people, when the when the Musketeers,
Speaker 1: whether would jump over there? So guard, bro, we gotta
Speaker 1: be on guard because it's going down. You know. The
Speaker 1: trip part about it is that you've got some people
Speaker 1: who think that all they gotta do is lock folks
Speaker 1: up and they're gonna be safe. And they think that
Speaker 1: all I gotta do is get behind my gated community.
Speaker 1: And I'm good that happen. Yeah. Yeah. And the thing
Speaker 1: about it is that either you go out there and
Speaker 1: you're gonna encounter that, or they're gonna come in and
Speaker 1: there because they're kicking the indoors. Now, it don't matter
Speaker 1: if you live in a gated community. It slows down stuff.
Speaker 1: Don't get it wrong, but uh, it don't necessarily stop anything.
Speaker 1: And like Americans, I just really believe that, like everything
Speaker 1: starts at the top. Yeah, you can say it starts
Speaker 1: at home. But you know, the people at the top,
Speaker 1: they know what they're doing. They know what they did
Speaker 1: the wickedness, they know, they know what they are absolutely
Speaker 1: playing it. By the way, it was design. It's not
Speaker 1: by it's not by accident. It's by design. Man. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And to your point, you notice how when they really
Speaker 1: want the people to come together for a certain cause
Speaker 1: or whatever whatever it is, they can they're flat flood
Speaker 1: the you know, the gates with um news reports and
Speaker 1: people saying good things and showing all these acts of
Speaker 1: random acts of kindness and everything and everything, and then
Speaker 1: you feel this sense of community. You know, all of
Speaker 1: the stations doing the national stations and then then the
Speaker 1: local stations. You see that. You see it everywhere. People
Speaker 1: coming together seems to be it seems to be a
Speaker 1: calm right like, and everybody seems to be like they're
Speaker 1: coming together. And then next thing you know, bam bam,
Speaker 1: it's they're back at it again, and so they know
Speaker 1: what they're doing. The people at the top. Uh, leadership
Speaker 1: starts at the Toploted podcast will be right back after
Speaker 1: the street. You know what, Willie, puppet master never meant
Speaker 1: that word. Puppet master has never meant so much to me.
Speaker 1: Like it didn't mean as much to me back then
Speaker 1: as it does right now. Like Willie, we're being controlled
Speaker 1: by the puppet master. Bro, we're puppets. You know, you're
Speaker 1: looking look at the chain of command. Will you look
Speaker 1: at the chain of command? You know, look at the
Speaker 1: powers that be, and look who they control and look
Speaker 1: who like we we we got a fucking puppet master
Speaker 1: hanging hanging over the stage, pulling the strings and making
Speaker 1: people move. And that's how you get a hershel walker. Man.
Speaker 1: You see that ship and they're in a run they
Speaker 1: go to a runoff. That's how you get a Hershel
Speaker 1: hershel Walker asked you to runoff. Hold on, hold on
Speaker 1: with old. I gotta say this, man, don't be mad,
Speaker 1: stop up your years. Oh herschel Walker ass nigga, don't laugh,
Speaker 1: Willie fucking herschel Walker ass nigga. This nigga can't even
Speaker 1: talk man like that's the that's the epitome of the
Speaker 1: word nigga. Like, get the funk out of here, man.
Speaker 1: And it's oh man, I hate to say this, man. Oh,
Speaker 1: I don't want to say that. I can't say it.
Speaker 1: They're gonna they're gonna cancel. You gotta see it, man. Okay,
Speaker 1: So this big belly motherfucker Donald, He's gonna brand here,
Speaker 1: he gonna roll his fan ass in there, and and
Speaker 1: and and endorse this fucking illiterate ass uh chimp. And
Speaker 1: what does this fucking uh black face painting on lipstick
Speaker 1: dancing ass nigga do get out there and dancing in
Speaker 1: front of master man Herschel Man, you are fucking disappointment. Man.
Speaker 1: That what the means? That means may be coming by me,
Speaker 1: Brad that I didn't want to run for the offense,
Speaker 1: and I didn't want to run for the offense. And um,
Speaker 1: if I could run for the offense, I'll run for
Speaker 1: the offense. And then you got to be a man
Speaker 1: to be a man. Now, you can't be a woman
Speaker 1: to have a baby. If if, if you man, only
Speaker 1: a woman can have a baby. And because only a
Speaker 1: baby can come form a woman. And that's what y'all
Speaker 1: need to know now. Uh, I'm hershey walker, and I
Speaker 1: think I think I'm hush walking. I want to be
Speaker 1: y'all diner. I'd be like, hey manel dumb man. What
Speaker 1: the trip part about it is that under any other circumstance,
Speaker 1: the people that's voting for him would be like all
Speaker 1: over him, like this dumb it literate, slow football head ass.
Speaker 1: But but dumb enough, Willie, he's dumb enough to go
Speaker 1: with what they say. Yeah, like Clarence Thomas. But Clarence
Speaker 1: Thomas is just a little bit more educated. Well I
Speaker 1: guess a lot more at a lot more educated. But again,
Speaker 1: a puppet, A puppet, someone who can can be controlled.
Speaker 1: And he's only in that position because he's being controlled everybody.
Speaker 1: He was only that position because of appointment. He's been
Speaker 1: appoint He was appointed, Willie, he was appointed and that's
Speaker 1: what Busch appoint him. But he's not going never but
Speaker 1: he's not he's not gonna. He's not gonna get out
Speaker 1: of that seat until he died. And that's unfair. I
Speaker 1: think the cycle should run every four years. I think
Speaker 1: that should they should be elected, because man, you got something.
Speaker 1: You got somebody, Willie. You got somebody that is in
Speaker 1: control of your life and everything around you forever, m
Speaker 1: for wait for for there forever, you know, and then
Speaker 1: when they appoint somebody else for there forever to you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, like forever and the and that
Speaker 1: fucking cycle just keeps cycling, It keeps recycling forever, like
Speaker 1: I'm I'm sitting this fucking seat forever, my forever. Real,
Speaker 1: I ain't gotta do ship, but but but but ride
Speaker 1: with what what about saying I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: gonna uh review and look over uh roe v wade.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna overturn this ship. I'm gonna review and look
Speaker 1: over this affirmative action. I'm gonna I'm gonna overturn this ship.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna review and look over voting rights. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: overturn this ship. Wait a minute, you say black people
Speaker 1: are free, and then I'm gonna overturn that ship. You
Speaker 1: you don't. You gotta understand this, William. Don't forget this man.
Speaker 1: Everything that okay, Like when I say privilege, when I
Speaker 1: say white privilege, Like white people were born in this
Speaker 1: country with privilege. They could do any fucking thing they want. Listen,
Speaker 1: The only reason and that we can do ship is
Speaker 1: because the judge or a statue said that. Think about it.
Speaker 1: A judge said you can do that. A judge said
Speaker 1: you could do that. A statue said you can vote,
Speaker 1: a statue said you can go go sit in the restaurant. Uh,
Speaker 1: at the front of the fucking bus. A judge had
Speaker 1: to give you that right, bro. Everybody else was born
Speaker 1: with the fucking right. I'm fucking man's funk right now.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm. Because they said so, because they said so, nigga,
Speaker 1: you can sit at the bar at this fun restaurant.
Speaker 1: Because I said so, I said you can know. But
Speaker 1: you know what though, now you can't. Mm hmm. Fuck you.
Speaker 1: And that's the scary part. That's that's the part that
Speaker 1: people don't understand. They don't understand if if somebody can
Speaker 1: give you something, they can take it away cold blood,
Speaker 1: ain't it? Yeah? And everything that we have, it's because
Speaker 1: they said we could have it. They wrote it in
Speaker 1: for us. Man. The law wasn't written with us in mind,
Speaker 1: so they kind of write us in here and there
Speaker 1: whenever we start crowning by ship that we ain't getting.
Speaker 1: But now the way, the way, the um, the needles
Speaker 1: are tipping to the red. Man. If you, if you're
Speaker 1: not careful, man, your great great grandkids can be back
Speaker 1: in captivity. We better look at this ship. We better
Speaker 1: reanalyze this ship. Yeah, that's going over their head. Ain't
Speaker 1: no way and they mind ain't no way that could happen.
Speaker 1: Watch their minds, ain't no way something like that's gonna
Speaker 1: have missed. It's too good. What do we gotta do?
Speaker 1: Good Man, Willy, you better? You better tell him the truth.
Speaker 1: I try to tell him. Man, you better tell him
Speaker 1: the truth. Man, with a stroke of a pin, they
Speaker 1: won't listen to me. Listen to me. Bro, with a
Speaker 1: stroke of a pin, your ass can go right back
Speaker 1: into fucking captivity. Am I lying? Uh? When you look
Speaker 1: at what's happening with voter suppression. This is supposed to
Speaker 1: be over, you know what I'm saying. This is just

Speaker 1: say somebody got robbed. That was you, That was you,
Speaker 1: little nigger boy. Yeah, man, how many how many of
Speaker 1: us lost our lives? How many of our people lost
Speaker 1: their lives for some false ships. But that's still on,
Speaker 1: That's right, that's the trip part about it. It's still
Speaker 1: going on. And you know what hurts. It hurts even
Speaker 1: even more so man, our little our youngsters. Man, they're
Speaker 1: killing each other. Man, And it's it's bad enough. We've
Speaker 1: got people outside of us that kill us like rod kill.
Speaker 1: But we're fighting a fight from within. You see what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. It's like we're fighting a fight against us
Speaker 1: and them, against us and them. We were fighting. We
Speaker 1: got we got two different armies we're fighting. Instead one
Speaker 1: army were fighting, we're fighting two different armies. Man, we're
Speaker 1: fighting us and we're fighting them. And it breaks my
Speaker 1: heart to see these young uh, to see the young,
Speaker 1: my young dying like this bro just senselessly. Man. Um,
Speaker 1: it was an incident that that that happened down here,
Speaker 1: man uh here recently. And it shot me all the
Speaker 1: way back to when we lost the man, when when
Speaker 1: I got shot at the waffle house. Um, the law
Speaker 1: man shot my partner in the back and they never
Speaker 1: charged him with murder. And I think that, Um, I
Speaker 1: think we're gonna we we we should all go and
Speaker 1: bring that back up. I want to bring it. I
Speaker 1: want to bring that back up to the courts because
Speaker 1: he shot that man in the back, that was what
Speaker 1: was in sreeport, shot him in the back from behind,
Speaker 1: shot him in the back from behind. So and that
Speaker 1: ride home, we got that man sitting in there in
Speaker 1: that seat. That's a that's a old bloody ride back
Speaker 1: to the house. Man, there's a cold ride back home, Willie,
Speaker 1: you know. And it shot me back to that, you know,
Speaker 1: It shot me back to that moment in my life.
Speaker 1: And and ship, I think I might have dropped a
Speaker 1: couple of tears, man, you know, because that's got that
Speaker 1: that's a cold fucking feeling man. Yeah, and that was
Speaker 1: that was always our um. That was always mandatory for us.
Speaker 1: You know when we left and you noticed when we left,
Speaker 1: we left together. We came back home together. We mean,
Speaker 1: we couldn't leave nobody out there. And damn ship man,
Speaker 1: we lost some man dog, they lost a man man,
Speaker 1: They lost a kid, bro, and I was a little
Speaker 1: kid man. Yeah. Uh they lots a kid man. I
Speaker 1: mean we was kids, bro, those kids will I was
Speaker 1: years old and Rudy died he was he was kids, bro.
Speaker 1: And that she just shot me back to that, to that,
Speaker 1: to that, to that one, to that moment right there,
Speaker 1: you know, like we was kids man. Yeah. I know
Speaker 1: it's not like one. It's not a one size fits all.
Speaker 1: It's not um a single uh a remedy. But where
Speaker 1: does it start? I mean, whe where do you start
Speaker 1: with trying to change the mindset? You know what? You
Speaker 1: know what I have to uh my first um injection
Speaker 1: into that um educational movement that need to be exercise, bro,
Speaker 1: is death is permanent, and you just gotta let them
Speaker 1: see how permanent death is, you know, walk the ass
Speaker 1: through that morgue, you know, let them look and see
Speaker 1: that ship. But what about the ones who are just
Speaker 1: fascinated about it some much something. Some of them, like
Speaker 1: you said, they want their name on the shirt. I mean,
Speaker 1: they don't get no attention and lessons some of them.
Speaker 1: Some of them feel so insignificant. That's fine with They
Speaker 1: feel so hopeless that they feel like that's all they
Speaker 1: got is that T shirt, that name on the T shirt,
Speaker 1: and everybody mourning them. So even if they can't feel it,
Speaker 1: they seem like they just want to know that it
Speaker 1: went down. What about what about actually watching somebody does that?
Speaker 1: Tran Does that change that? Does that change? It? Is
Speaker 1: why I don't think it's necessary. It might change a
Speaker 1: few people, but here's why I don't think it will
Speaker 1: change anybody. I don't think it will change collectively. Uh.
Speaker 1: It didn't change me as I started for my first
Speaker 1: man get killed at five years old. It didn't change me.
Speaker 1: It didn't make me. It only made me aware of
Speaker 1: what not to do, certain things, how to move in
Speaker 1: a certain way. Uh. That's why I didn't gamble until
Speaker 1: I was in my twenties, because I was shook. It
Speaker 1: shook me, but it didn't make me fear death, or
Speaker 1: it didn't make me feel taking life. It didn't make
Speaker 1: me fear taking a life, so I don't. I think
Speaker 1: what made me care more is when I started caring
Speaker 1: about myself. What made me change my mindset. It's when
Speaker 1: I started caring about myself. You can't tell me. You
Speaker 1: can tell me about all these other people all you
Speaker 1: want to, But I got my life to live, and
Speaker 1: I'm going through my own thing, and all of these
Speaker 1: people are doing their thing or whatever. I got my
Speaker 1: own life experiences, and ain't nobody trying to look out
Speaker 1: for me. Ain't nobody trying to take care of me.
Speaker 1: Ain't nobody doing for me. So all I see is
Speaker 1: me against the world. So it's hard for me to
Speaker 1: care about other people if I don't care about myself.
Speaker 1: So I had to start caring about myself enough to
Speaker 1: not want to be put away in prison forever and
Speaker 1: be living amongst a bunch of damn fools and you know,
Speaker 1: a bunch of men, right. I love the company of
Speaker 1: women too much to let that be my final destination.
Speaker 1: So I had to start caring about myself enough to
Speaker 1: to know that I don't want to be laying out
Speaker 1: on the concrete like my little cousin Larry was with
Speaker 1: a hole in his head like a dog. And that's
Speaker 1: how I looked at it, because you if you live
Speaker 1: in the in the hood, you know, I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: sometimes you see a dog on a damn street. If
Speaker 1: you ride the highways, you'll see a dog on the
Speaker 1: street and the road kills. So to me, that's what
Speaker 1: it looked like. A body of human being just lying
Speaker 1: out on the ground in the concrete and uh, in
Speaker 1: the code and police officers walking around him. Uh, and
Speaker 1: they're cracking jokes and laughing, not necessarily maybe it's by him,
Speaker 1: maybe it's about something else, but they're cracking jokes and
Speaker 1: they're laughing, and they're eating. They're eating like it's nothing.
Speaker 1: It's nothing, Yeah, it's nothing. And it's it's like almost
Speaker 1: like our trauma is being monetized. So for me, uh,
Speaker 1: it came down, I don't want that to be me.
Speaker 1: I don't want that life. I don't want this life
Speaker 1: over here. Uh. And so in art so once I
Speaker 1: started started uh loving myself and and wanting better for
Speaker 1: myself or the man, that they started respecting other people
Speaker 1: more because I don't want them to do nothing to
Speaker 1: me and I don't want to have to do something
Speaker 1: to them. You see. Some people don't need all of
Speaker 1: that like I needed. Some people don't need all that.
Speaker 1: Some people can just automatically be like, well, I love
Speaker 1: everybody and that's just wrong and I'm not gonna do
Speaker 1: anything wrong to anybody, and I just love and if
Speaker 1: even if they hurt me, I'm not gonna hurt anybody.
Speaker 1: Some people are built like that. I'm not. I'm not
Speaker 1: built like that, you know, like, uh if somebody, if
Speaker 1: somebody hurt me, I am going to try to hurt
Speaker 1: everything they love. That's me. So uh so my thing
Speaker 1: is like, hey, you know, just first don't first off,
Speaker 1: love on myself. That didn't sound good if you, if you,
Speaker 1: it don't sound good because your mind being the gutter. Bro.
Speaker 1: You gotta stop watching Point while you're driving. You know,
Speaker 1: you know you can watch it, you know like when
Speaker 1: you when you when you stationary, but don't watch it
Speaker 1: while you're driving. Man, I guess uh that's a break
Speaker 1: with it. That's it. Now. We gotta wrap, man, we
Speaker 1: gotta wrap. No. I really I wanted to touch. I
Speaker 1: wanted to touch on the on the little baby thing,
Speaker 1: the ticket sales thing. You know how you remember what
Speaker 1: happened with little Baby, the Baby, The Baby, the Baby. Uh.
Speaker 1: People were trying to rank on him about his ticket sales.
Speaker 1: Uh Uh. He had a show in the Baby, the Baby.
Speaker 1: He had a show and they were doing two for
Speaker 1: one tickets yet and people was trying to rank on him.
Speaker 1: But the venue held thirteen hundred people, and people were
Speaker 1: ranking on him because you know what I mean, she
Speaker 1: went from selling all these damn tickets and stuff to
Speaker 1: not a thirteen hundred seat with people doing a you know,
Speaker 1: a two for one deal. So people were laughing at it.
Speaker 1: And my my point about that was that you know,
Speaker 1: the game changes. You know, people ain't gonna always be
Speaker 1: at the top, and and so you have to make adjustments.
Speaker 1: This was in Birmingham, Alabama. What's the city. But Birmingham
Speaker 1: is also a B market, So you can't do and
Speaker 1: B markets what you might be able to do in
Speaker 1: an A market. I mean, that's just what that's that's
Speaker 1: that's just the business man, you know, right, one more record.
Speaker 1: He's back to arenas. You know, you know, um all tapes.
Speaker 1: One record, but he's already still doing arenas. Also, because
Speaker 1: when people were talking down on him, he posted a
Speaker 1: video of himself on stage at what looked like an
Speaker 1: arena or at least a the a. It was thousands
Speaker 1: of people. Yeah, I mean, you're big gass artists. And
Speaker 1: I don't know why they're working within him like that,
Speaker 1: because people gotta have something to talk about. Really, you know,
Speaker 1: as what he said something to hate on. Let me
Speaker 1: ask you a question, and what he said about, well,
