00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying, you never know what he was

82
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: involved in, but is it worth his life? I can

83
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: honestly say that now because I can say none of

84
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: the ship that we've done in the course of gang

85
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: banging was worth it. At the end of the day,

86
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: it was not worth it. And here we are trying

87
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: to fight back for the second chance. You know what

88
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: I'm saying, I like and fortunately, unfortunately we the majority

89
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: of us survived. A lot of us didn't. I lost

90
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: a lot of boys, ain't gonna never have no kids,

91
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: ain't gonna never get married. None of that ship by

92
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: something that we believed in. And at the end of

93
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: the day, Nick is disrespected every day. Every day they

94
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: go out their game bank and it's being disrespected, you

95
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So it's it's man, It's it's tragic.

96
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: It's tragic at the end of the year too. It's crazy, man,

97
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: you know. But this is what they say. Sheriff's investigators

98
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: and wins. They released video of the shooting and which

99
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: shows the gunmen approached the drivers, went doing on foot

100
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: and fire into Lewis's vehicle. Young man's name was Carl Lewis.

101
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: He was struck multiple times in the upper tours something.

102
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: The shooter then took off running and got into a

103
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: white so day and and flayed the east on the

104
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: Liner Boulevard. So you got this guy. Man, they see

105
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: you know. And that's what I don't think these cats.

106
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: Cats think about when they go do stuff. You can

107
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: tell it ain't no type of planning to it and

108
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: nothing else. It's like one of them things like oh

109
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: there we go and they activate. They don't do no

110
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 1: type of plan in or nothing like that. Because they

111
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: got him walking up to the vehicle shooting and got

112
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: the carter. You don't jump into the get away. That's

113
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: another episode of first eight and that's how you get caught.

114
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: And here you are. Your life is over with now,

115
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Because guarantee you they're gonna

116
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: strike your ass out. They're gonna give your life, yeah

117
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: or something like that. You're definitely going to go down,

118
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 1: especially if the kid was not involved in gang banging.

119
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: But like you said, you never know what what you

120
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: never know what could be going on these young kids nowadays,

121
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: you know, mistaken identity or you the homie or somebody

122
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: or you know, that's just how they get down today.

123
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: Fuck it we're gonna shoot and we're gonna shoot up.

124
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: But apparently it had to be a situation to where

125
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: motherfucker saw him sitting and decided, Hey, I'm gonna gonna

126
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,559
Speaker 1: park the car and then creep on the naga because

127
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: they over there sitting so not knowing if he was

128
00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: affiliated or you know, hanging with or somebody who at

129
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: the beef with another neigger who just decided, you know,

130
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: to do that. You know, But that's that's the that's

131
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 1: that's the nature of the beasts, so to speak of

132
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: when you gang banging and when you you just you

133
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: wrong place, wrong time, or motherfucker association, you already know

134
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: its ship. I could be sitting with a motherfucking ain't

135
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: got no beef with a nigga. But shit, if they

136
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: start dumping, they're not looking at dump over me, They're

137
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: looking at dump whoever. So that's just that's just the

138
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: nature of the beast, when you gang banging and you associated,

139
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: like you say, guilty by association, and it happens all

Speaker 1: the time, right yeah, man, you know it's crazy, and

141

00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: look up sometimes and just hope that you're waking up

146
00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: from a dream or something like. You know, just like

147
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: with the COVID. I know, a month ago we lost

Speaker 1: lot of bullshit going on. Well, when the kovid first hit,

154
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: I lost my little cousin exactly. Uh, we got Reggie

155
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: right fighting for his life right now. So it's hitting

156
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: home and then you see all of these people dying

157
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: from it, and we yet to get it. We yet to, man,

158
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: put your masks on. We don't want to. We we

159
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: don't want to what we say. We don't want to

160
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: pay attention to take heed. We don't want to believe it.

161
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: We gotta believe this ship is some real ship. A

162
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: lot of people is dying, and people that we know

163
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: it's dying, So everybody out there gotta gotta do their part,

164
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: and uh stand away coming up washing your hands during

165
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: the whole nine because now we've finished go into I

166
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: ain't trying to adopt him that ship, And don't be

167
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,599
Speaker 1: mad at me if I don't shake your hand or

168
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: let you get in my face with a conversation. Exactly.

169
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: You gotta take the cautions and ship, you know, especially

170
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: when you've got family members and people around that could

171
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: easily be sick or have something else pre existent, you know,

172
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: so you definitely got to be careful. You know. I've

173
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: known people who have had it, who have gotten real sick,

174
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: people who have passed from it. So I know a

175
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: lot of people think it's it's some bullshit, it's some

176
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: kind of control to where they figure the government is

177
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: trying to get control of people and you know, having

178
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: people follow these rules or whatever. But when I guess

179
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 1: it hits home and people start realizing and it gets

180
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 1: to a point where you start knowing people personally who

181
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 1: have been affected by it and who have passed or whatever,

182
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: then you know it's only right to try to follow

183
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: the rules that can try to get us back to

184
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: some kind of normalcy. And ship because I know that's

185
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 1: what everybody want to do, you know, get back to normal.

186
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: But we have to be able to prevent the bullshit

187
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: that's going around before we can get back to normal.

188
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Wait, this is my love

00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: thing I want to say. We sit out here and

200
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: worry about buying cars and all this other ship. We

201
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: need to get insurance and everybody needs to get insurance.

202
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: Being cremated because you don't have a choice. Man, Ain't

203
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 1: ain't a good look that this whole time we run

204
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: around here, we do everything we want to do by

205
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: all this ship we want to but we just want

206
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: purchase insurance and Rry is having a hard time trying

207
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: to bury your sister, which they have no choice but

208
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: to cream making. So man, everybody needs to get insurance

209
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: out there. Yeah, everybody good. That's definitely important, you know,

210
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: because motherfucker's don't be noring when they get sick, especially

211
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: niggas who be on all type of you know level.

212
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: You know, we'll be thinking as niggers. You know we

213
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: can uh, you know, we're standing and fight off a

214
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: lot of ship, you know, because it's being in the

215
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: streets and being through a lot of war zones and

216
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: battles and ship we're time we kind of forget about

217
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: you know, health is wealth and uh, motherfucker's don't be

218
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 1: eating right or drinking and doing all the extra ships

219
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: so that I could just add to the badness of

220
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: catching the COVID or whatever, and like I said, people

221
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 1: would pre existing conditions you know, that could really fuck

222
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: you up. So that's something that we should really be

223
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,119
Speaker 1: trying to push. As far as black men it's concerned,

224
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: you know, because there's a lot of hood niggas out here,

225
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 1: I know that don't even funk around with health insurance

226
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: or whatever, going to the doctor and all that. But

227
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: to be able to have longevity and withstand a lot

228
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: of ship, they just gotta have that medical you feel

229
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: me right for sure. And and the thing here's about it, man,

230
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: it's like pretty much. You know, you got the homies,

231
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: the smoke weed and you know, smoke cigarettes. And I

232
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: tell him, I say, man, for the price of a

233
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: pack of cigarettes, you can get you some insurance. You

234
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: can get you at least some basic insurance. Man, I

235
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: think to get a hundred thousand dollar policy, it's only

236
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,719
Speaker 1: like fifteen dollars a month. I don't want to get

237
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: that policy. So you don't leave your people. And just

238
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's already fucked up when somebody lose somebody's

239
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: you know, remember their family, and it just compounds to

240
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: the stress when you gotta try to figure out a

241
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: way to bury somebody. Motherfucking uh. You know, the little

242
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: pages to try to raise money and all that ship

243
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: that go fund me pages and all that, because a

244
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: lot of us go through the ship where we're not

245
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: thinking about it. But you know, my mom's is always

246
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: a person who she hits me up every other day

247
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 1: and be like man, you you're on that insurance. You're

248
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: paying for that life insurance because you know you never

249
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 1: you could never know what happened. You don't want to

250
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: leave motherfucker's in the bind. Yeah, that's exactly what you're doing.

251
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: You're leaving your people in the buyd um. It's like,

252
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: if I don't pay for nothing else every month, I

253
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 1: make sure I'll pay for that insurance. You know what

254
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: I mean, Because that's what I don't want to do,

255
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: is leave my family to burden. And you know, and

256
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: that's a whole another show man, you know in itself

257
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: about the insurance because it don't cost as much as

258
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: people think exactly. So yeah, for sure, Because I'm gonna

259
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: tell you one thing about it, death is inevitable. I

260
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: don't give a funk who you are, how rich you are,

261
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: how poor you are, one thing about it. We all

262
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: leaving as motherfucker's one day somehow someway definitely, you know,

263
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: And that's something to think about. And especially if the

264
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: nigga's been in the streets and them that this far.

265
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: You gotta know, ship it's it's coming. One day. You

266
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: ain't gonna be able to withstand it. You feel me

267
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: so that's the first thing you ought to be thinking about,

268
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 1: especially if you've got kids or grandkids or you know

269
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, especially if they're in the struggle and

270
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: doing right now when nobody working and motherfucker's is stressing

271
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: out because of that, it will be fucked up for

272
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: the time. So you know, just like James said, you know,

273
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: people are having hard trying to bury the people because

274
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: funds ain't right. So you know, get that medical and

275
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: to get that insurance. Man, that's valuable. It's real valuable, man,

276
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: you know. And then it's about you know, we're about

277
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: to close up. Man, it's um one of the worst

278
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: years of my life just as far as just just

279
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: stuff that's going on. Man, Not to make this just

00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: don't lost like thirty five pounds, you know what I mean.

333
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: I want to continue on that lost man, because you know,

334
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: people to see you and say, oh Man, you swoll

335
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: you big. But the older you get that weight, I

336
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: don't care if it's muscle effect. It ain't no good

337
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:48,720

338
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: all that extra waiting stuff like that. So I'm losing weighting.

339
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 1: Like James said, Man, just continue growing the show, Man,

340
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: Just continue to go our brand because we all like

341
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: depend on each other for this. So just you know,

342
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: continues to excess. Man for the show that we continue

343
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,199
Speaker 1: growing and everything. It's a good feeling. Um. You know,

344
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: we're going down to Dallas like either in February of March,

345
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: and hopefully that depends a lot on what this COVID

346
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: stuff is doing. We got a whole lot of requests

347
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 1: for people to get us out on the road. Man.

348
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: So just doing that, man, and just continuing, Man to

349
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: thank God for the stuff that I do have. I

350
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: think sometimes we focus too much on what we don't

351
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: got going on, but when we look at what we

352
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: do got going on, we got some incredible stuff going on,

353
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: and we all been blessed. You know what I mean, right,

354
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: You know, I look at it like this. This year

355
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: is it has this downsides and has a bad point,

356
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 1: But I look at it like this. Due Against the Chronicles,

357
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 1: I've met people that I've never thought I would work

358
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: with eight I know you feel proudly the same way.

359
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: I wouldn't never knew James. I've been on that page

360
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: with him if it wasn't for Against the Chronicles. And

361
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: I met a lot of people that that was in

362
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: the same boat as me, but we would have never

363
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 1: funked with each other just on the street on that

364
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 1: aspect of it, and I never knew what it was about.

365
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: And all the other people that I ran into, and

366
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: it's it's it's a lot of good people out there,

367
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: and sometimes we just don't have the opportunity to get

368
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 1: to know that that person is a good person. And

369
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: I meant a lot of good people in that's That's

370
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 1: one of the things for me. I meant a lot

371
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: of good people that if I was living the other life,

372
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: I would have never had the chance to meet them people.

373
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 1: So I'm thankful for that. I'm I'm cool with that,

374
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: So I rock and roll with that. So that's one

375
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: of the good things for me, dog exactly. And you know,
