His agenda was totally different, 50 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,920 Speaker 1: but Mines was on point. I already knew what I 51 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: was going down there for. It wasn't to jump on 52 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,959 Speaker 1: Chorles and cuts chosen. I was. I was starting no ship. 53 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: I'm going down here for the for the kids. So, uh, 54 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: I do the show. And as I'm doing the show, 55 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: uh my boy, hit me watch the left right side. 56 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: Oh boy, put a pistol down there. So he not 57 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: even knowing, I'm already up on the game. So now 58 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: I leaning back to my hat. Now I'm paying attention 59 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 1: to him, and you know now that I'm doing my work, 60 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 1: so you know, when he gets all out ready and everybody, 61 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: he pointed to I can stretch them off the list 62 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: of who I gotta take a posts out of. So 63 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: I'm i'm I'm watching the whole scene. So I'm talking, 64 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: and this dude started talking and then he just started 65 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: with the bloods and the crypts again. And come on, man, 66 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: this is I've told you you disrespecting the day you 67 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: you you're doing too much right And when he stood up, 68 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: now I can show him. You know what I'm saying, 69 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: you know, left your pistols sitting in the chair right here. 70 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: So before he can go back to his seat, I'm 71 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: right there right in his faith like this. So at 72 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: the same time he had me heated by the city, 73 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: was saying like this motherfucker ain't getting it. But I'm thinking, man, 74 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: if I hit this little dude, man, I mean he 75 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 1: little I'm looking down at and you say little, give 76 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: us an idea of what little is. He's about one fifteen, uh, 77 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: real fragile, skinny guy. And and I was standing over him. 78 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: And then I never had an intent to hurt to 79 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 1: do because Huncle always talked to me about this and 80 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: that and that and this of him and he don't 81 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 1: mean no well, no difference. Well, somebody has to check 82 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: the dude. Somebody has to stop the ship. So I 83 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: see talking to him through conversation wasn't working, just just 84 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 1: befriending the coming stations. So we went there. Uh, I 85 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: sat back down. He started to say something, and I 86 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: just knew I couldn't take another peep of his voice, 87 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 1: so you better get up and walk away. So I 88 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: just got up and walked away from the situation. But 89 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: right after I walked down, I went to my car, 90 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 1: went to the trunk, pop me and motherfucking made me 91 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: a drink, and uh, I'm cool. You stay ready, you 92 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: ain't got to get Oh, I ain't got to get there. 93 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: And you know, people, you know this, this is what 94 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: I did for a living there. I mean, you know, 95 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 1: I told you all before, you know, the gang like 96 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,359 Speaker 1: it was a job to me because you know, you 97 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: just can't go out that from porch and just walking 98 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 1: around and just not pay attention to what, you know, 99 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: your surroundings is. So we peeped the hole surround him 100 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: when we got there. Then I peeped a little you know, 101 00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 1: the podcast show, and you know, I made myself smith. 102 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: This is where are people sitting. They can watch everything 103 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: right there, and you know, now and I'm not knowing, 104 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So I think at the 105 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: end of the day, it turned out to be a 106 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: little misunderstanding. Fathers Okay, when they told me he got 107 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 1: his pistol. Now I'm angry because he got his pistol down, 108 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: I can't let him get nowhere near it. And then 109 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: he funked up and got went by it went by, 110 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: it walked away from the pistol. So when he did that, 111 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: I'm in California, nigga, Man, you don't sucked up. So 112 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 1: and when they're getting close back to that. But the 113 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: whole time, I'm you know, I got old Lucy on 114 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 1: my hill, you know what I mean. So it was, 115 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: it was, it was, it was crazy. And then they 116 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: down this uh bright Dogan whoo whoo.

You know 176 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Now, you're putting everybody in one basket 177 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: because you can't do that. From what he has to understand, 178 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: This is what I try to tell him. One like 179 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: me and Glasses, is that you got cryptics police officers. 180 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: You got crypt and bloods police officers. Now you got 181 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 1: some of them. The nurses, You've got catt driving trucks, 182 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: I mean ship you see niggas in sports, you who 183 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: associated themselves much more. Not that we try to glorify 184 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: the ship being crypts and bloods, but it's what we did, 185 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: and we we evolved from that ship. I mean, you like, 186 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: you know, entertainers like myself, you get me. We all 187 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: come from different walks and we have grown as men 188 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: to where you don't have to credit that. But that's 189 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: a part of our heritage being being you know, you know, 190 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 1: James a prime example of that, you know, being one 191 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: of the dudes that's most respected dude in the streets. 192 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: Got a podcast, it's popping, got you know, the radio, 193 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: it's other stuff. You evolved past that. But the thing 194 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,559 Speaker 1: what he doesn't understand is that that's a neighborhood. It's 195 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: a neighborhood thing too, And you got people in the 196 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: game in every neighborhood. And this is just my observation. 197 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: You're correcting if I'm wrong, But in every neighborhood, I know, 198 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: it's only really two or three niggas that's really with 199 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: just the you know them them to hear, the just 200 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: the ones that you can't just have absolutely no control. Yeah, 201 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: you know, you got a couple of cats that got 202 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: the homie that got the squad, and you've got the 203 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: other the home he was playing football, basketball or just 204 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: going to school. And you you got the niggas who 205 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,439 Speaker 1: are making the big bread. You know, everybody had the 206 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 1: ballers from the neighborhood. And like you said, there's all 207 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: walks of life from the neighborhood. Uh different factions. Everybody 208 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: got a position and my body, I think that this 209 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: limited mindset is applicable to what we do in the 210 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: West Coast. When he's obviously he's in Texas right doing 211 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: whatever he's doing. He's been out of here a few times. 212 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: But a few times he's been out here. Can he 213 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:37,559 Speaker 1: really have a definition for what we do? It don't do? No, No, 214 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: I don't think he he don't have no concept of 215 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: what I the California is. And then the whole thing 216 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: about it is he said they emulate California, but you're 217 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: emulate in California because you watch boys in the hood. 218 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: Uh min. It's just aside that that was gonna be 219 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: my next point, you know what I'm saying. So this 220 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: is why they say they've been hood winked. Every man 221 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: has a choice, especially at the fifteen fourteen years old, 222 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: if you don't want to be a gang banger, say 223 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: you don't want to be it because what you see 224 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 1: in the movies, you see violence. You don't see catch 225 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: uh hanging together and making money and and and you 226 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: know as one you see violence. So those movies promoted violence, 227 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: So why would you want to be a part of that? 228 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: But this is where they was at. So you know 229 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: me personally, you know, the brother mush have went through 230 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: something in his life for him to feel the way 231 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: he feels. But all of a sudden, just bad Because 232 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: if you felt like that, you never came to California 233 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: and kicked it. You never came out here and hung out, 234 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,679 Speaker 1: And then now you can't come out here and hang out, 235 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So what I'm saying, I 236 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: don't understand what was his his his transition from uh, 237 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: you know, wanting to come on the show and come 238 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: out here year that you know, mingo with motherfucker's and 239 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: then to turn around and go fuck them niggers.

A little here already a kid came with fags, 331 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: trying to pay my dudes learn the tricks of the trade. 332 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: He was describing every little niggai I knew, not just 333 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 1: out here, but across the country. A dude coming of age, 334 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 1: and he started to seeing all the homie over here 335 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: got the second time men get mine now well, growing well, 336 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: growing up in the era. I grew up in Um. 337 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: Like I used to tell people as a kid, like 338 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 1: lionels age, I'm pretty sure we all had dreams of 339 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,679 Speaker 1: being something different than we work, depending on where we 340 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: grew up. Um. I grew up in Compton. Uh started off, 341 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:34,120 Speaker 1: you know, I had the normal household, mom and dad, 342 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 1: father work, mom's work. But when they split and moms 343 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 1: went by herself. And now I'm growing up in the 344 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 1: neighborhood and I'm the age of nine and ten and eleven, 345 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,160 Speaker 1: and I'm seeing the drug dealers on the corner. I'm 346 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 1: seeing the dudes come through doing dry bys and dudes 347 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: getting killed. That still fascinated me to a point of 348 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: these are my choices, you feel me. Um, not that 349 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,239 Speaker 1: that I wanted to pretend to be or you know, 350 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,159 Speaker 1: I just felt as a youth growing up in Compton, 351 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: that was the road I had to take because that 352 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 1: was it. You get me. Single mom in the household. Uh, 353 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: she was all trying to work and supply ship. But 354 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 1: then I was left to the vices of the streets. 355 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,479 Speaker 1: You get me, Um, Moms wasn't you know, giving me 356 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 1: allowances and ship like you know ship, You see what 357 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: typical motherfucker's on TV so to speak. Uh, kids getting 358 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 1: allowances and getting to go to whatever whatever. I didn't 359 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 1: get all of that. So when I saw the drug 360 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: dealer on the corner, or I see the niggas belling 361 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 1: impacts with their rags out their back pockets and ship, 362 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: that gave me the sense of family, of wanting to 363 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 1: be long. So that's why I wrote those songs. I did, 364 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 1: and I participated in gang banging and selling dope and 365 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: all that because I felt that that was a no 366 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: way out situation. At one point, did you realize that 367 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: the streets was undefeated and you need to change directions 368 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 1: because the streets that you think about the streets as 369 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 1: a total, it's undefeated. Definitely. Um well, I guess to 370 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: the point to where when you start um doing for 371 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 1: yourself and becoming a family dude or you know, getting 372 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 1: the mind state of I'm seeing a lot of dudes 373 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,159 Speaker 1: still get killed going back to those things that you 374 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 1: grew up within, the value in that and those lessons. Definitely, 375 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: I started seeing like from the time I was youthed 376 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: to about what time, because I was still hanging in 377 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: the neighborhood at twenty five years old. You get me. 378 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 1: I still I still money even though I was I 379 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,199 Speaker 1: felt like Nipsey So Nipsey Hustle wasn't the first one 380 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: to do that. Oh no, No, I still at the 381 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 1: point of where I was shipped. But I'm coming off 382 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: tour and I'm going straight to the neighborhood because what 383 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: else did I know? I mean, I didn't know ship else. Yeah, 384 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 1: I got the house, I got the cars, I got 385 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 1: the jewelry, I got all that ship and Nigga's telling me, 386 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 1: why the funk are you over here? You get me? 387 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:33,360 Speaker 1: But I'm still feeling like I gotta have that connection like, like, 388 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: it's important for me to still have that connection to 389 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: the neighborhood because I didn't want people to think that 390 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: the ship I was writing about or experience with some 391 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 1: ship I was doing from afar, like I grew up 392 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: in that ship. But it came to a point to 393 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:55,120 Speaker 1: where now I got kids, you get me, Um, I'm 394 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,399 Speaker 1: hanging in the neighborhood every day. You know, it's still 395 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,719 Speaker 1: the same ship going on. I'm give a fuck if 396 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: I'm the nigga that's wrapping and still whatever. It's still 397 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: niggas from that past life that still look at me 398 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: as nigga you affiliated. So even let's work, even though yeah, 399 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 1: even though I'm like okay everything or whatever, you still 400 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: got the a. Man, we need dope, we need guns, 401 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: fuck them, wrap them wraps. Niggas like niggas like fuck 402 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 1: the wrap tickets and fucking being just passes to the shows. 403 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: They like, nigga, we need guns and dope over here. 404 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 1: So that's when I started going, whoa like you get 405 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,479 Speaker 1: because I'm thinking, because now you're about to get caught 406 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 1: up into conspiracy exactly. So that's when I had to 407 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: make a choice. And then you had certain niggas like James, 408 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 1: who would tell me why the fund? You keep coming 409 00:23:55,880 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: over here? You get me like why? So here's a 410 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 1: deeper question for James. James the highlight of death row right, 411 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: I'm talking about at its peak, he was around millionaires, 412 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: billion maybe even billionaires, and and you saw a lot 413 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: of money being transferred and and happening right there, very 414 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 1: right in front of your eyes. Motherfucker's were using credit cards, 415 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: got black cards. All of those guys have money, man, 416 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: But you know we didn't. We didn't have that right 417 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: here to the leak with him, you know what I'm saying. 418 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:43,440 Speaker 1: Like my brother Alton and and uh Big Jake. They 419 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: went in there trying to learn the music and God 420 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,880 Speaker 1: did little artists and whatever. But you can't get there 421 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: when your people don't want to see you there, you 422 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So that was my question, though, 423 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,360 Speaker 1: How was being around all this, seeing all this business 424 00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 1: go down? Why wasn't nobody said, wait a minute, hold up, man, 425 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,400 Speaker 1: look what's happening to us. Let's get on this business. 426 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 1: Because we were in full control of a multime million 427 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 1: dollar I did that.

Hold up. When we pull up, 433 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: the people look at us, and then she'll leading the 434 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: pack when they see us all ship the bell housed 435 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: and the cats didn't want to come park our cars. Man, 436 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 1: y'all don't see the big picture here. Man, she gets 437 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 1: making money, but he explored nuts.

So the thing is with him. His mindset 596 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 1: is because what I did for purposely with him, even 597 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 1: though I moved him to the suburbs of Downey when 598 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,319 Speaker 1: he started playing football.

But he told me, he said, Dad, 620 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,319 Speaker 1: that experience ain't for every kid. Every kid is not 621 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 1: gonna get acclimated through there. You know what I mean. 622 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,400 Speaker 1: It's just a certain amount of discipline to take to 623 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,920 Speaker 1: go to school like Bosco.

Have you ever seen 635 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 1: a wolf perform in a circus? Okay?

It changed his mind. If it has changed 824 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:30,240 Speaker 1: everything about it. And you're teaching them skills, you're teaching 825 00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:33,600 Speaker 1: them how to read, you're teaching them everything that they 826 00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:36,160 Speaker 1: don't know. See a lot of a lot of my 827 00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:39,640 Speaker 1: bullshit and the way I felt, and I wouldn't. I 828 00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,360 Speaker 1: wasn't too sure about myself because you know, being a 829 00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:46,759 Speaker 1: game banker, fu reading writing, Fuck you know this? I don't. 830 00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,480 Speaker 1: I don't want to do that. No, it wasn't It 831 00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:53,279 Speaker 1: wasn't necessary. The only thing it was necessary. And being 832 00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:56,319 Speaker 1: in the hood is a gun. Don't If you're in 833 00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:58,600 Speaker 1: the hood and don't got a gun, you you're losing. 834 00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:02,240 Speaker 1: So that's that's that was my mentality. That was my thought. 835 00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:06,200 Speaker 1: But if you if you take that what I was 836 00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:09,520 Speaker 1: and what you was, and what you was, and and 837 00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:12,160 Speaker 1: and bring it and flip it of to day to 838 00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:14,959 Speaker 1: our kids, they don't have to see what we were 839 00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,759 Speaker 1: at thirty. They don't have to see where we was 840 00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:21,000 Speaker 1: at at forty they know they're gonna they know they're 841 00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:25,840 Speaker 1: growing to be young men at nine. Yeah, exactly, and 842 00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:31,160 Speaker 1: just take him away from the situation. Now, now mail 843 00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:34,320 Speaker 1: you from Compton, right, What neighborhood are you from? Or 844 00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:36,440 Speaker 1: as you say, tribe are you from? Tribe to tribe? 845 00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:39,359 Speaker 1: Is Santana Block? Okay? You from Santana Block? And you're 846 00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:43,960 Speaker 1: obviously a well spoken, very eloquent dude, more intelligent than 847 00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:47,120 Speaker 1: than a lot of these motherfucking professors. That hint the professor. 848 00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,319 Speaker 1: You come from the same background these people come. How 849 00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:55,440 Speaker 1: did you become? Like, are you self educated? I'm self educated, 850 00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:58,319 Speaker 1: But I had a father that was a disciplinary he 851 00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:03,480 Speaker 1: was he was career um military, he was actually he 852 00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:07,239 Speaker 1: was a ranger and um man. He didn't he wasn't 853 00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:10,200 Speaker 1: a joke man like my partner to lead uh before. 854 00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:14,120 Speaker 1: His father the same military background. So he put some 855 00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:16,439 Speaker 1: things in me that I probably wouldn't have never got 856 00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:18,040 Speaker 1: if it wasn't for him, you know what I mean, 857 00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:22,040 Speaker 1: Because he demonstrated to me that it wasn't cool to 858 00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,640 Speaker 1: just be out there just dipping your hands sort of speaking, 859 00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:28,839 Speaker 1: I'm using colloquial language with dipping your hand means letting 860 00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:31,319 Speaker 1: people know that you got this blue rag, you got 861 00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:34,160 Speaker 1: this thing. You know, everybody know that you that you 862 00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:36,000 Speaker 1: know what I mean. So he said it was better 863 00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:40,680 Speaker 1: just to remain still, not using your neighbor in the moment, 864 00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,799 Speaker 1: to where you can demonstrate who you were in the 865 00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,799 Speaker 1: moment of that time. And that's you know. I got 866 00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,080 Speaker 1: that from him. But also he would take us and 867 00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:50,960 Speaker 1: said to me and my brothers, take us a citizen 868 00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:53,560 Speaker 1: in the bed at night and tell us these amazing stories. 869 00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:57,120 Speaker 1: Because my father spoke German, he spoke a little uh Korean, 870 00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,840 Speaker 1: and he spoke a little uh Spanish as well, So 871 00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,160 Speaker 1: he would take us on these journeys around the world. 872 00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:04,040 Speaker 1: And he would always say I've been around the world 873 00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:06,960 Speaker 1: once and shook everybody hand twice. And he would just 874 00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,160 Speaker 1: take us on it, man. And that fascinated me. And 875 00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:12,799 Speaker 1: that's really important. And I think I think James makes 876 00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:14,880 Speaker 1: a point. Man, we need to start with the kids, 877 00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:17,440 Speaker 1: you know. And when I say kids are I'm including 878 00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:19,640 Speaker 1: them brothers that's eighteen and nineteen too, because they still 879 00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:22,960 Speaker 1: kids at the moment. Somebody you show somebody something different. 880 00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,200 Speaker 1: I remember when I started going to Europe and stuff 881 00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:27,120 Speaker 1: and traveling, I was looking for pubs and coming. It 882 00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:32,319 Speaker 1: was based in England, it broadened June had opportunity to 883 00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:34,239 Speaker 1: travel when you first went overseas. Then to give you 884 00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:40,560 Speaker 1: a whole different angle on everything. Hell no, see eight 885 00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:44,880 Speaker 1: is just the one of them. Was a definition because 886 00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,080 Speaker 1: I was a Nigger who always wanted to be in Compton. 887 00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,359 Speaker 1: Like I keep telling you, that was what I grew 888 00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:52,640 Speaker 1: up in New You get me. So even though I 889 00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:55,160 Speaker 1: was traveling and going on tour and all that, first 890 00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:56,600 Speaker 1: thing I did when I got off the plane was 891 00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:59,040 Speaker 1: wanted to go back to Compting And it wasn't. It 892 00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:01,479 Speaker 1: was just the fact that of that was my sense 893 00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:05,640 Speaker 1: of belonging because without that, they had the father in 894 00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:10,399 Speaker 1: the household. You get me, James, was your pops at home. 895 00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:12,480 Speaker 1: I didn't have a pops at My daddy left when 896 00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:15,359 Speaker 1: I shot my little brother, so I didn't I mean me, 897 00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:18,520 Speaker 1: I didn't have a pops at home.

So the older I got, 905 00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:49,960 Speaker 1: I didn't. I wasn't thought I wasn't one of those 906 00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:52,319 Speaker 1: niggas who did a lot of ship. I didn't go 907 00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:54,520 Speaker 1: even though I was wrapping and ship. I didn't go 908 00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:57,560 Speaker 1: hang out at the clubs. I didn't go like venturing 909 00:49:57,640 --> 00:49:59,759 Speaker 1: rout and go the other nigga. I went to the hood. 910 00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:03,239 Speaker 1: What we're doing dipping the day up Cranshaw here. So 911 00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,799 Speaker 1: when I got overseas and start touring in Europe, I 912 00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:09,400 Speaker 1: go do my shows and I'm ready to get back 913 00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:12,160 Speaker 1: to the house to say And I think, because you 914 00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:14,400 Speaker 1: didn't actually enjoy the experience and see what I did. 915 00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:17,480 Speaker 1: Always made it a point to go see stuff like 916 00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:20,400 Speaker 1: right like when I went to um Rome and I 917 00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:22,960 Speaker 1: saw with a gladiators fall that and I always thought 918 00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,520 Speaker 1: them colors was a lot bigger. They looked like traps 919 00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:27,840 Speaker 1: parts think not that thing. Not that. I think it 920 00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:33,040 Speaker 1: took me getting older to start appreciate. Like now when 921 00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:35,040 Speaker 1: I go overseas and I'm like, oh, yeah, we're going 922 00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:37,960 Speaker 1: to check out the museum we're going to this and 923 00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:40,520 Speaker 1: that and all that. But back then you're talking about 924 00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:43,279 Speaker 1: I was nineteen twenty years old. How many how many 925 00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:45,839 Speaker 1: people in the hood can they even experience what y're 926 00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:49,279 Speaker 1: talking about going to these different places? Not very many, 927 00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:51,279 Speaker 1: not very many. And the sad part about it is 928 00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:54,360 Speaker 1: these are places that people can go that's not that expensive. 929 00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:56,799 Speaker 1: Like I tell people, like, when people see what's going 930 00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:58,600 Speaker 1: on the case, they say, man, you bo, how you 931 00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:01,040 Speaker 1: did it?

Let's just take a trip to Europe. 937 00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:21,480 Speaker 1: As far as a hood Nigga mentality is Vegas. Yeah, 938 00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:24,960 Speaker 1: idea of taking trips was going to Vegas and like 939 00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:28,640 Speaker 1: that in Vegas was fished for a lot of motherfucker's 940 00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:32,799 Speaker 1: in the neighborhood that never been Yeah, you know, you 941 00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:36,920 Speaker 1: know what it was too though, Bro, I think a 942 00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:39,320 Speaker 1: lot of people are scared because I had a homeboy 943 00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:41,600 Speaker 1: when I came to California, my homeboy that was actually 944 00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:45,560 Speaker 1: a better football player than me. What's gonna talk about 945 00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:48,520 Speaker 1: coming out? Right? He was gonna come out, but he 946 00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:50,480 Speaker 1: got scared of the last minute. Was like, what, man, 947 00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:53,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. I heard they got niggas. There's cripts 948 00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:54,840 Speaker 1: out there and I heard they got it. Ain't no 949 00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:56,960 Speaker 1: different than niggas on the East side Cleveland killing up 950 00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,680 Speaker 1: every damn thing. It's a difference because they moved different. 951 00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:02,080 Speaker 1: He don't know. You don't know how these name is 952 00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:05,799 Speaker 1: moving in California. And when once she touched down, some 953 00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:09,080 Speaker 1: othercker's didn't got killed touching down out here and walking 954 00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:13,879 Speaker 1: and that real cool. But it ain't like we're coming 955 00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:15,920 Speaker 1: out here on the other ship. We come to play football, 956 00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:18,840 Speaker 1: so we're not coming out no other ship. And I 957 00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,680 Speaker 1: still even with that, you can still get caught up 958 00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:24,600 Speaker 1: because I got diverted, almost got diverted off my mission 959 00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:27,359 Speaker 1: a couple of times because you meet different people out here, 960 00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:29,640 Speaker 1: like I fine, you don't get mad about me saying this, 961 00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:31,279 Speaker 1: But one of the niggers I've met there was a 962 00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:33,640 Speaker 1: bad influence for me, was fine me And he wasn't 963 00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:35,560 Speaker 1: a bad influence. He was just trying to help me. 964 00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:37,600 Speaker 1: The way he knew how he said, ohioway and got 965 00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:41,600 Speaker 1: no bread. He go to second, I'm sure we did 966 00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:46,359 Speaker 1: down here that because coming from out of town, your 967 00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:51,160 Speaker 1: mentality is total different. Like you're seeing ship on TV. 968 00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:55,520 Speaker 1: You're hearing ship, but that's some real life ship. Look 969 00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:57,719 Speaker 1: like this man in comparison what I saw on TV, 970 00:52:57,760 --> 00:52:59,840 Speaker 1: because I went and saw colors and all that ship, 971 00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:02,000 Speaker 1: but where it came out. So I'm thinking, I'm looking 972 00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:03,520 Speaker 1: at that. Should I come on and say, man, that 973 00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:07,759 Speaker 1: ship had a way share two experiences that made me 974 00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:09,920 Speaker 1: go back to my roots, to what my dad and 975 00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:14,799 Speaker 1: mom taught me. The first time it was four they 976 00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:18,040 Speaker 1: did this um they called a gang city, right, and 977 00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:22,879 Speaker 1: it was based on the summer Summer Olympics. So they 978 00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:26,600 Speaker 1: came out here. They put together British broadcasting team and 979 00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:29,520 Speaker 1: they came out here and they was the media had 980 00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:33,400 Speaker 1: been selling that the Crypts and the pirus, we're going 981 00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:37,040 Speaker 1: to be a disruption to the Summer Olympics, and the 982 00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:40,880 Speaker 1: media around the world brought into that. They bought it 983 00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:43,600 Speaker 1: hook Line and Seeker and they came in and they 984 00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:47,840 Speaker 1: targeted us, specifically this guy you probably know, Graves and 985 00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:49,440 Speaker 1: some of them other people that was part of that 986 00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:52,640 Speaker 1: oss stuff. They came to us and they bought us 987 00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:55,200 Speaker 1: and we did you know, and they interviewed us during 988 00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:58,839 Speaker 1: that time. But parts of them somewhere down the line 989 00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:01,879 Speaker 1: in the interview the y'all ascess the question what didn't 990 00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:04,399 Speaker 1: we feel about the summer Olympics. But at that time 991 00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:09,239 Speaker 1: it's four Cocaine's. We looked at him, said, man, we 992 00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:12,399 Speaker 1: don't care nothing about that. We got this right here. 993 00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:15,959 Speaker 1: But all that I'm seeing all those things was transitions 994 00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:19,040 Speaker 1: into one moment into a next that led us further 995 00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:21,480 Speaker 1: and further down the rabbit hole. And what I mean 996 00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:24,800 Speaker 1: because at that time, the prison and the prison industrial 997 00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:28,279 Speaker 1: complex was they was putting money behind it. They was 998 00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:30,719 Speaker 1: they was building them, they were setting them up because 999 00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:33,840 Speaker 1: they were setting up for the big payback exactly, and 1000 00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:40,840 Speaker 1: everybody made money off that Olympic board. The second time 1001 00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:44,160 Speaker 1: is that I'm actually a survivor of police batality because 1002 00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:46,560 Speaker 1: remember you had the stony boards, you had to live Withers, 1003 00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:50,680 Speaker 1: and then you had the institutioners, right, and these people 1004 00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:53,200 Speaker 1: actually trying to take my life. In the nineteen eighty 1005 00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:57,080 Speaker 1: nine February, the fourth team, it was Valentine's Jay and 1006 00:54:57,560 --> 00:54:59,239 Speaker 1: I'm telling them, but they was gunning at me. They 1007 00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:01,680 Speaker 1: was gonna at me. But I had a will and 1008 00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:04,560 Speaker 1: and just a just a sense of survival, and I 1009 00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:06,920 Speaker 1: was like, I wasn't gonna go down like that, you 1010 00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:09,000 Speaker 1: know what I mean, That's just what my mindset was. 1011 00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:12,080 Speaker 1: But it made me realize a few things that I 1012 00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:14,480 Speaker 1: was just I needed to get away from where I 1013 00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:16,880 Speaker 1: was going and get back to what I was taught. 1014 00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:19,120 Speaker 1: And once I got back to where I was taught, 1015 00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:23,760 Speaker 1: then I begin to like really gravitate towards Uh John 1016 00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:28,920 Speaker 1: Henry Clark, Uh and um Dr Claude Anderson, Francis Quels 1017 00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:32,960 Speaker 1: Wilson and Amos Anderson and Nami mcbar. I'm trying to 1018 00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:35,319 Speaker 1: take in all this information because now I'm hungry for 1019 00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:37,959 Speaker 1: something else. Instead of being hungry for the street life, 1020 00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:41,560 Speaker 1: I became hungry for the knowledge which was my father 1021 00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:44,279 Speaker 1: was giving me from an early on stage. And I 1022 00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:46,960 Speaker 1: went back to that and that helped me change my 1023 00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:49,759 Speaker 1: perspective and help me look at things a lot better 1024 00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:52,880 Speaker 1: than what I was seeing. And I eventually outgrew a 1025 00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:55,279 Speaker 1: lot of things that was connected us from being in 1026 00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:58,320 Speaker 1: the hood and accepting all the things that were along 1027 00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:00,439 Speaker 1: with that.

I think we 1063 00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:44,880 Speaker 1: need to get the house together first, though I get 1064 00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:47,640 Speaker 1: hit up with so many people have got incredible foundations 1065 00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:50,160 Speaker 1: and stuff like that. I'm ready to start dealing with 1066 00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:52,320 Speaker 1: these brothers out here, and one thing out we all saying, 1067 00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:55,920 Speaker 1: contrary with some of the people out there believe we 1068 00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:57,600 Speaker 1: just don't have the O G S on the show. 1069 00:57:57,640 --> 00:57:59,200 Speaker 1: I don't try to reach out to some of your 1070 00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:01,640 Speaker 1: young niggas, But what happens here us with our people 1071 00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:04,320 Speaker 1: again themselves?

So again it's a white man's ice 1075 00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:14,040 Speaker 1: cold or not. Those dudes got the credible platforms. They 1076 00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:17,840 Speaker 1: ain't meet this and them, But exactly show our platform 1077 00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:20,480 Speaker 1: the same respect that you show them. If you do 1078 00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:23,160 Speaker 1: a zoom with us, don't have the windows down this 1079 00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:25,680 Speaker 1: ship and doing all this other ship.

We look at each other. It's lesser 1086 00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:41,080 Speaker 1: than all the time. We gotta get out of there. Well, 1087 00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:43,360 Speaker 1: hopefully you wouldn't answer like some of the people that's 1088 00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:45,880 Speaker 1: been the guests on Adam twenty two and Glad, and 1089 00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:48,840 Speaker 1: you would be more respective of your culture which you 1090 00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:51,280 Speaker 1: come from.

I think you 1095 00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:07,360 Speaker 1: gotta master those lessons that's been that's there, and then 1096 00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:10,040 Speaker 1: you gotta cultivate some space for you for the abundant 1097 00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:12,760 Speaker 1: to flow.
