But still at the end 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:16.760 of the day, nineteen what could he have done to 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.280 cost him his life?

And you've got another 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:05.880 dude whose life is gone too. So you've got two 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:08.080 people's lives impacted by this. Is not to mention the 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:12.040 families and everybody else, man, it's just a sad cycle man.

Uh to make it. It's sad, 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.400 that's what I'm saying, you never know what he was 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:33.000 involved in, but is it worth his life? I can 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:36.960 honestly say that now because I can say none of 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:40.160 the ship that we've done in the course of gang 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:43.160 banging was worth it. At the end of the day, 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:46.040 it was not worth it. And here we are trying 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:49.360 to fight back for the second chance. You know what 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:56.040 I'm saying, I like and fortunately, unfortunately we the majority 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:59.480 of us survived. A lot of us didn't. I lost 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:02.000 a lot of boys, ain't gonna never have no kids, 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:05.560 ain't gonna never get married. None of that ship by 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:08.520 something that we believed in. And at the end of 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:12.640 the day, Nick is disrespected every day. Every day they 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:15.960 go out their game bank and it's being disrespected, you 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:20.720 know what I'm saying. So it's it's man, It's it's tragic. 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:27.520 It's tragic at the end of the year too. It's crazy, man, 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:30.880 you know. But this is what they say. Sheriff's investigators 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:33.000 and wins. They released video of the shooting and which 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.719 shows the gunmen approached the drivers, went doing on foot 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:38.960 and fire into Lewis's vehicle. Young man's name was Carl Lewis. 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:41.200 He was struck multiple times in the upper tours something. 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:43.719 The shooter then took off running and got into a 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:45.480 white so day and and flayed the east on the 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:48.520 Liner Boulevard. So you got this guy. Man, they see 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:50.520 you know. And that's what I don't think these cats. 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:53.080 Cats think about when they go do stuff. You can 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:54.920 tell it ain't no type of planning to it and 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:56.920 nothing else. It's like one of them things like oh 0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.320 there we go and they activate. They don't do no 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:01.720 type of plan in or nothing like that. Because they 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.400 got him walking up to the vehicle shooting and got 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:06.719 the carter. You don't jump into the get away. That's 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:10.839 another episode of first eight and that's how you get caught. 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:14.360 And here you are. Your life is over with now, 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:17.440 you know what I'm saying, Because guarantee you they're gonna 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:20.080 strike your ass out. They're gonna give your life, yeah 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.520 or something like that. You're definitely going to go down, 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:26.479 especially if the kid was not involved in gang banging. 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:29.960 But like you said, you never know what what you 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:33.800 never know what could be going on these young kids nowadays, 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:38.040 you know, mistaken identity or you the homie or somebody 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:40.640 or you know, that's just how they get down today. 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:42.840 Fuck it we're gonna shoot and we're gonna shoot up. 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:46.520 But apparently it had to be a situation to where 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:50.320 motherfucker saw him sitting and decided, Hey, I'm gonna gonna 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:52.559 park the car and then creep on the naga because 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:55.560 they over there sitting so not knowing if he was 0:06:55.600 --> 0:07:00.200 affiliated or you know, hanging with or somebody who at 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:03.120 the beef with another neigger who just decided, you know, 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:06.080 to do that. You know, But that's that's the that's 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:08.599 that's the nature of the beasts, so to speak of 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:12.320 when you gang banging and when you you just you 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:18.640 wrong place, wrong time, or motherfucker association, you already know 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:21.800 its ship.

You know, just like 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:02.440 with the COVID. I know, a month ago we lost 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:05.560 the Homeboy. Earlier this month, the Homeboy gangster Rid from 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:08.640 the Bullyard trial. He died of COVID man. You know, 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:12.680 we lost Tiny lifted the alias Deebo Man the COVID man. 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:15.720 So it's like, man, we just it's almost it's almost 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:17.880 enough to make you lose your mind. Man, it's a 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:21.080 lot of bullshit going on. Well, when the kovid first hit, 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:24.920 I lost my little cousin exactly. Uh, we got Reggie 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:29.640 right fighting for his life right now. So it's hitting 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.160 home and then you see all of these people dying 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:36.360 from it, and we yet to get it. We yet to, man, 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:38.880 put your masks on. We don't want to. We we 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:41.360 don't want to what we say. We don't want to 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:44.400 pay attention to take heed. We don't want to believe it. 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:46.920 We gotta believe this ship is some real ship. A 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:49.520 lot of people is dying, and people that we know 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:53.760 it's dying, So everybody out there gotta gotta do their part, 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:57.960 and uh stand away coming up washing your hands during 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:01.960 the whole nine because now we've finished go into I 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:04.240 ain't trying to adopt him that ship, And don't be 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:06.599 mad at me if I don't shake your hand or 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:09.640 let you get in my face with a conversation. Exactly. 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:12.440 You gotta take the cautions and ship, you know, especially 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.640 when you've got family members and people around that could 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:19.360 easily be sick or have something else pre existent, you know, 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:22.280 so you definitely got to be careful. You know. I've 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:25.520 known people who have had it, who have gotten real sick, 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:27.800 people who have passed from it. So I know a 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:30.760 lot of people think it's it's some bullshit, it's some 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:34.200 kind of control to where they figure the government is 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:37.080 trying to get control of people and you know, having 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:40.640 people follow these rules or whatever. But when I guess 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:43.959 it hits home and people start realizing and it gets 0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:46.959 to a point where you start knowing people personally who 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:50.199 have been affected by it and who have passed or whatever, 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:54.280 then you know it's only right to try to follow 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:57.400 the rules that can try to get us back to 0:09:57.480 --> 0:09:59.880 some kind of normalcy. And ship because I know that's 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:03.439 what everybody want to do, you know, get back to normal. 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:06.160 But we have to be able to prevent the bullshit 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:08.840 that's going around before we can get back to normal. 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:12.079 You know what I'm saying.

That's definitely important, you know, 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:23.920 because motherfucker's don't be noring when they get sick, especially 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:26.720 niggas who be on all type of you know level. 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:29.280 You know, we'll be thinking as niggers. You know we 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:32.040 can uh, you know, we're standing and fight off a 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:33.840 lot of ship, you know, because it's being in the 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:36.120 streets and being through a lot of war zones and 0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:39.480 battles and ship we're time we kind of forget about 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:43.320 you know, health is wealth and uh, motherfucker's don't be 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:46.439 eating right or drinking and doing all the extra ships 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:49.440 so that I could just add to the badness of 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:52.520 catching the COVID or whatever, and like I said, people 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:55.839 would pre existing conditions you know, that could really fuck 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:58.720 you up. So that's something that we should really be 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:02.119 trying to push. As far as black men it's concerned, 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:04.600 you know, because there's a lot of hood niggas out here, 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:07.559 I know that don't even funk around with health insurance 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:10.360 or whatever, going to the doctor and all that. But 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:14.520 to be able to have longevity and withstand a lot 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:17.640 of ship, they just gotta have that medical you feel 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:21.640 me right for sure. And and the thing here's about it, man, 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:25.080 it's like pretty much. You know, you got the homies, 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:27.920 the smoke weed and you know, smoke cigarettes. And I 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:30.240 tell him, I say, man, for the price of a 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:33.000 pack of cigarettes, you can get you some insurance. You 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:35.440 can get you at least some basic insurance. Man, I 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:37.800 think to get a hundred thousand dollar policy, it's only 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:40.719 like fifteen dollars a month. I don't want to get 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:43.880 that policy. So you don't leave your people. And just 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:47.120 you know, it's already fucked up when somebody lose somebody's 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:49.960 you know, remember their family, and it just compounds to 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:51.520 the stress when you gotta try to figure out a 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:56.400 way to bury somebody. Motherfucking uh. You know, the little 0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:59.520 pages to try to raise money and all that ship 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:03.040 that go fund me pages and all that, because a 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:04.840 lot of us go through the ship where we're not 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:08.000 thinking about it. But you know, my mom's is always 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:10.760 a person who she hits me up every other day 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:13.199 and be like man, you you're on that insurance. You're 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:15.400 paying for that life insurance because you know you never 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:17.079 you could never know what happened. You don't want to 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:20.400 leave motherfucker's in the bind. Yeah, that's exactly what you're doing. 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:23.440 You're leaving your people in the buyd um. It's like, 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:25.480 if I don't pay for nothing else every month, I 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:27.319 make sure I'll pay for that insurance. You know what 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:29.080 I mean, Because that's what I don't want to do, 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:32.160 is leave my family to burden. And you know, and 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:35.240 that's a whole another show man, you know in itself 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:38.400 about the insurance because it don't cost as much as 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:44.400 people think exactly. So yeah, for sure, Because I'm gonna 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:47.360 tell you one thing about it, death is inevitable. I 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:49.680 don't give a funk who you are, how rich you are, 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:51.760 how poor you are, one thing about it. We all 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:55.400 leaving as motherfucker's one day somehow someway definitely, you know, 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:58.280 And that's something to think about. And especially if the 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:00.800 nigga's been in the streets and them that this far. 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:03.600 You gotta know, ship it's it's coming. One day. You 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:05.920 ain't gonna be able to withstand it. You feel me 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:09.480 so that's the first thing you ought to be thinking about, 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:11.959 especially if you've got kids or grandkids or you know 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:14.000 what I'm saying, especially if they're in the struggle and 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:17.600 doing right now when nobody working and motherfucker's is stressing 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:19.800 out because of that, it will be fucked up for 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:22.720 the time. So you know, just like James said, you know, 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:25.680 people are having hard trying to bury the people because 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:28.680 funds ain't right. So you know, get that medical and 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:32.920 to get that insurance. Man, that's valuable. It's real valuable, man, 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:34.880 you know. And then it's about you know, we're about 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:39.440 to close up. Man, it's um one of the worst 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:43.600 years of my life just as far as just just 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:45.680 stuff that's going on. Man, Not to make this just 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:49.720 an old depressing episode, but it's just me being real. Um, 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:51.840 what are some of the goals man that you guys 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:55.120 got man for this upcoming year? Man, just try to 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:58.440 stay healthy, you know, try to avoid bullshit, you know 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:01.680 we always running the book bullshit goals, or to just 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:04.600 try to you know, watch my son achieve, you know, 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:09.920 raise my son good, watch him achieve you know. Um, uh, 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:13.560 just trying to maintain the business. You know, the podcast 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:16.480 is doing good, try to stay maintained or what I've 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:18.560 been doing. I'm trying to get out of bounds with 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:22.320 nothing critical, you know. Um, just try to stay healthy, man, 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:26.280 and maintain and try to avoid avoid beefs with motherfucker's 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:30.680 You know, I've learned that. You know people who uh 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:33.800 usually talk behind your back or say ship or whatever. 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:36.440 You know, you gotta learn how to just bypass that 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:39.440 and let it go. And uh everything you're happening on 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:43.480 the level of of of where things are happening good 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:47.080 for you. So my goal is just to avoid bullshit 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:50.440 with motherfucker's in and just try to stay on a 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:54.680 good path, humble and healthy. That's my goal. Right As 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:57.240 for me, man, I just want to grow, you know 0:15:57.240 --> 0:16:00.640 what I'm saying. I'm in a different place. I truly 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:03.440 believe I got a second chance to grow, and I'm 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:06.280 just gonna try to grow. Uh. I got a four 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:08.520 year old that I gotta teach how to be a 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:11.040 young man opposed to be in a wild and our 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:14.600 little cat and you know, keep your pants up, your 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:18.320 head up, and walk right. So I gotta, I gotta. 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:22.120 That's a tesst in itself. But my whole thing is uh, 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:25.520 my family has pretty much kind of like fell apart. 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:28.720 And my goal is to give my family back right 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:32.040 and had them Sunday dinners and ship like we used 0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:36.000 to and you know, be able to communicate and and 0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:39.440 now that I can, you know, be there for them, 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:42.960 it should be easier to to uh, to get closer 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:45.440 to him. Not just because of that, but you know, 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:48.680 after miles past, we just fella apart. And I think 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:51.520 being the oldest boy out of out of all, I 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:54.120 have to put my pants on and just say fun 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:57.240 the dumb shit because we ain't gonna be here every day, dog, 0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:01.800 and I don't want to not be talking to a 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:06.800 shister of my brother. And something happened. So my thing 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:09.240 is just to get my family tight, you know what 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:14.080 I'm saying, and continue doing what we're doing. Um, I 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:17.560 got a whole bunch of blessings. I got more blessings 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:20.359 than I than I than I did this year, than 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:23.520 than I ever had. So man, that's one good thing. 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:27.040 So just standing on the right path, man, just stand 0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:30.280 on the right back My goes me or you guys 0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:32.199 on the same. Just as far as like touch On 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:34.760 eight said, just you know, staying healthy. I don't know 0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:36.200 if a lot of people know it or not. I 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:38.280 don't lost like thirty five pounds, you know what I mean. 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:40.600 I want to continue on that lost man, because you know, 0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:43.240 people to see you and say, oh Man, you swoll 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:45.200 you big. But the older you get that weight, I 0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:47.200 don't care if it's muscle effect. It ain't no good 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:48.720 for your heart to be caring, you know what I mean, 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:51.840 all that extra waiting stuff like that. So I'm losing weighting. 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:54.400 Like James said, Man, just continue growing the show, Man, 0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:56.760 Just continue to go our brand because we all like 0:17:56.840 --> 0:17:59.320 depend on each other for this. So just you know, 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:02.080 continues to excess. Man for the show that we continue 0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:05.199 growing and everything. It's a good feeling. Um. You know, 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:08.159 we're going down to Dallas like either in February of March, 0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:10.520 and hopefully that depends a lot on what this COVID 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:12.520 stuff is doing. We got a whole lot of requests 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:14.120 for people to get us out on the road. Man. 0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:17.600 So just doing that, man, and just continuing, Man to 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:19.560 thank God for the stuff that I do have. I 0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:21.760 think sometimes we focus too much on what we don't 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:23.760 got going on, but when we look at what we 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:26.000 do got going on, we got some incredible stuff going on, 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:28.359 and we all been blessed. You know what I mean, right, 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:31.800 You know, I look at it like this. This year 0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:36.520 is it has this downsides and has a bad point, 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:40.399 But I look at it like this. Due Against the Chronicles, 0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:43.120 I've met people that I've never thought I would work 0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:46.600 with eight I know you feel proudly the same way. 0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:49.160 I wouldn't never knew James. I've been on that page 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:52.480 with him if it wasn't for Against the Chronicles. And 0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:56.520 I met a lot of people that that was in 0:18:56.560 --> 0:18:59.080 the same boat as me, but we would have never 0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:01.399 funked with each other just on the street on that 0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:06.119 aspect of it, and I never knew what it was about. 0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:08.760 And all the other people that I ran into, and 0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:11.800 it's it's it's a lot of good people out there, 0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:14.960 and sometimes we just don't have the opportunity to get 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:17.680 to know that that person is a good person. And 0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:21.440 I meant a lot of good people in that's That's 0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:23.199 one of the things for me. I meant a lot 0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:26.399 of good people that if I was living the other life, 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:28.920 I would have never had the chance to meet them people. 0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:32.400 So I'm thankful for that. I'm I'm cool with that, 0:19:32.880 --> 0:19:36.080 So I rock and roll with that. So that's one 0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:39.280 of the good things for me, dog exactly. And you know, 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:41.800 going back to what eight said, man, you know, like 0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:45.399 you know, the whole beef thing.
