But like most 15 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: side checks do, they catch feelings and then they want 16 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: to be the main So about weekend, the weekend, the 17 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 1: weekend there?

It seems like it's more than that, 20 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: and it seemed like you connected to that because that's 21 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: the life you live. Yeah, I'm not gonna lie though. 22 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: The weekend is this is a standout song on there though. 23 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: It is like I really did. I was listening to 24 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: it and I really loved it, and I was tweeting 25 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: about it, and now I'm doing a side check playlist 26 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 1: for title because of the song why One. So it's 27 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: more so I think you have to put your lips 28 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,759 Speaker 1: on the mic. I told you this last time. I 29 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: don't recall thank you into um you go, We're just here. 30 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: This is a nice distance. Yes, um, I feel like 31 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: it's a male it's a male bread term where it's 32 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: like what I'm actually saying the song is my man 33 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: is your man? Like we all share the same dude 34 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: saying that I'm aware, I don't care. I'm not trying 35 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: to like I don't need to be his girl, like 36 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: not even saying that you're his girls, and none of 37 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: us are his girl. All of us are just out 38 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: here trying to get different things for different reasons. And 39 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: my particular reason is just get here and do what 40 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: you said you was gonna do on Friday and Saturday 41 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: on this particular song. All weekends as particular is the 42 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: best part of the week. And for the record that um, 43 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: this is like it's warm. I think it's like taking 44 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: the power back because it's like women just are supposed 45 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: to doing with like cry and feel weird and like 46 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 1: oh my god, Like I don't have no nigga, like 47 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: he's not my man. I have set which just it 48 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Just enjoy your life focused almost important to you. 49 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: If you want to kick it with the nigga, kick 50 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: it with him. If you don't move on, like it's 51 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,119 Speaker 1: not a big it doesn't have to be a thing. 52 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: So it's not about pickings being slim out here. When 53 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: it comes to men, it's just about comfortability. It's just 54 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: about like being confident in yourself because if you I 55 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: think most men don't tell women you're not my only one. 56 00:02:58,280 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: Oh no, that's how you get in trouble. You gotta 57 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: be on from up top. I think you have a 58 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: rare knack for honesty. I think most men do not 59 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: possess that. Not even most men, just human beings in general. 60 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: Like I would be scared and nervous to admit the 61 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: things that I feel out loud, maybe in a one 62 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,239 Speaker 1: on one room like with a dude, but on wax 63 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 1: it's a lot different, Like I can come clean about 64 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: all kinds of things. So I don't know. It's like 65 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: men kind of have I don't ask, don't tell policy, 66 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: you don't ask them. No, I'm saying, if you don't 67 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,959 Speaker 1: ask him a specific question, they're not going to volunteer information. 68 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: I'm telling you off top, I got a woman. I've 69 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: been on my woman in nineteen years. I'm letting you 70 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: know from the start, I mean used to used to. Yeah, 71 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: I'm letting you know from the beginning. I feel like 72 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: like for certain people, like people would be like, well, 73 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: you didn't ask him if he had kids, you didn't 74 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: ask him if he was married, how'd your kids, but 75 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: just don't tell you. Have you ever had a guy 76 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: not tell you he had kids or not tell you? Loki? 77 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: Don't feel like I have dated enough dudes with kids. 78 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: I've maybe dated like one dude with kids, and I 79 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: don't know, like it was very I love kids, so 80 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: I'm not the person that you have to hide kids 81 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: round my more just like let's all play like, let's 82 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: all go somewhere. But I don't know. No, if a man, 83 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: if a man hiding his kids from you and you 84 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 1: find out, you gotta stop giving them, absolutely stopped talking 85 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: to him. That's over. I agree after this album. Right, 86 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,559 Speaker 1: I listened to the album, I felt like you needed 87 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: a hug, like, oh no, I feel like you got 88 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: so much older, four years worth of niggas. I just, 89 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 1: I just I'm exasperated. No, I just it's really just 90 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: I never really talked about like relationships in a direct way. 91 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 1: I'm we used to be very metaphorical, very figurative, very 92 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 1: like um and also just kind of scared, like to 93 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 1: talk about the way I felt in a literal way, 94 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: like very directly. And I think all these relationships I'm 95 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: talking about are over like you needed a man for approval, 96 00:04:58,240 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: because in some of the songs it felt like you 97 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:04,239 Speaker 1: would look for approval as to say, my ass looks bigger. 98 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: You know, yeah, I think all women are. It's I 99 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: think from the person that it's like, it's weird. You 100 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: could be this hell confident person. But if the one 101 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: person that you want to find you beautiful doesn't find 102 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: you beautiful, it kind of doesn't mean anything, Like it 103 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 1: just negates all these things, even though all these things 104 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: are still true, like you're still beautiful, you're still narly like, 105 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: so I basically took this idea of you know, when 106 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 1: you want a man, he's unattainable, Like you want his attention, 107 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: you want his favor, you want you want to be 108 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: the apex of his taste level like all these things. 109 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: So it's just a natural feeling. It's like I've been thick, 110 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: I've been thin, I've had ass, I've lost ass, and 111 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: I felt like insecure in the process of losing weight 112 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: and losing booty. But like, you love me and you're 113 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: my friends, so I'm likely to me for today and 114 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 1: then tomorrow you can come clain and be like, Okay, 115 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: well did you have a guy that was like all 116 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: into you when you was like bigger and like he 117 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: was kind of making you feel bad about being bigger, 118 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: but when you lost the weight, he's still tried to 119 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: like play mind games with you. No, no, I actually 120 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: I am blessed to have dealt with real niggas, Like 121 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: I don't really dealt with niggas and talks like that, 122 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: Like I don't, that's crazy. Like when I was bigger, 123 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,239 Speaker 1: I was actually mad at my man because it didn't 124 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 1: tell me that. I was just like, what, how did 125 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: you miss that? Like? But it's more so he loved 126 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 1: you regardless, and that was the key, and I think, um, 127 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: that's just the bottom line. And I was more so 128 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: focused on like being happy and like being in a situation. 129 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: It's more so the way you see yourself, because you know, 130 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: we don't see the world as it is received as 131 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: we are. So I felt fat, I felt ugly, I 132 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: felt undeserving. So I would look for things and like 133 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: probably like dig in places that there weren't anythings to be, 134 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: you know, to be dug. So what happened to him? 135 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: I don't know the record of what the song on 136 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: the album is about that guy, I know all of them. 137 00:06:55,240 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm I don't know. Maybe go Gina, Maybe 138 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: go Gina. I think my dumb math listen to that 139 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 1: record three times last night because I try to figure 140 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: out it feels about Martin. Oh my god, I love 141 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: first of all, yes, kind of okay, yeah, Um, it's 142 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: more so like Gina. It is always like the semi 143 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: corporate kind of stuck up, but also really beautiful and 144 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: like has a sense of humor. But she looked like 145 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: she if she lived like Pam, she might have more fun, 146 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: Like you might just like just go get some get right, 147 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: like goin, like do you live your life? And like 148 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: don't be afraid to be crazy. Like remember that time 149 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: that Martin came in that party, the hotel party, and 150 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: he thought it was like a real corporate trip, but 151 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: he thought it was gonna be real. Like if that 152 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: was the energy, Like if she just played more, if 153 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: she was just like let go, Like, yeah, I see 154 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: what I'm saying.

I've been burying friends, family, 163 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: like bearing family members, bearing weight, the way I feel 164 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: about myself, the way I feel about the world, the 165 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: way I feel about God, the way I process information. 166 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: Like I've just been growing as a human being. And 167 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: I didn't even realize that I was just like kind 168 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: of in a box, Like I didn't really I was 169 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: missing a lot of worlds going on. So I think 170 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: singing from my perspective of the world, where it's like, 171 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: I don't know, I felt like trapped in myself and 172 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: around my friends and then around like guys like I 173 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,599 Speaker 1: just I couldn't explain it. It was weird. It was 174 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: like I felt very invisible around very many people. So 175 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:58,319 Speaker 1: that's why you said, do you even know him alive? 176 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: So you're talking to a whole bunch of people talking 177 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: to myself. I'm um, it's like a lot of most 178 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,559 Speaker 1: of the album is me talking to me. So if 179 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 1: I'm talking about saying like even for the weekend, like 180 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 1: a lot of these things have dual meetings, like I'm 181 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,719 Speaker 1: singing from the girlfriend and from the other perspective, like 182 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: I've been a girlfriend that didn't know and I've been 183 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:20,959 Speaker 1: a girl that didn't know that you had a girlfriend. 184 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: So it's like, I I don't know. It's like you 185 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: just got to sing from different points of view, like 186 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: from your where your mind is at experiences you had 187 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: exactly like the Top Dog Entertainment have anything to do 188 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: with that. What you're feeling like you're not alive because 189 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:40,479 Speaker 1: they wouldn't give you a release date.

Who called 225 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: you first after you put that out there? Who was 226 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: the first call that you got? That's how I think 227 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 1: nobody even called me because I think they were just 228 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: like they were like but a like but on something 229 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: like if she is she wild? Like is she okay? 230 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 1: Or I think everyone just assumed that I was wild 231 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: and I was gonna be fine, but nobody hit you. 232 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: I talked, of course, top like outside of the obvious 233 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: the top, I spoke to dit I spoke to Punch 234 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: that night and that I don't know. I think they 235 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: didn't even say anything. They just listened to me. And 236 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: that's all you need some time, somebody to listen. Yeah. Now, 237 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: think about when you first signed to TV and how 238 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,199 Speaker 1: you are now. Yeah, it was a lot of artists 239 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: development for you. So what does artist development actually mean? 240 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,439 Speaker 1: I mean it means see that like you put out, 241 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:06,599 Speaker 1: you put out. No, I really don't know. If I 242 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 1: always wanted to know, I can ask you because it's right, 243 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: you know, because like even just the way that you dress, 244 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: the way that you present yourself, the confidence that you 245 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: have now I'm locky, also very nervous right however, now, 246 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: because when I first met to you, gotta think like 247 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: you probably had no idea what it was that you 248 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: really were going to put out, like just even your 249 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: music from early on, and how I progressed to now 250 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,679 Speaker 1: you being able to open up and be honest about 251 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: two experiences like at this table with y'all. I just 252 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 1: thought that was but I don't know, I just didn't. 253 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: I don't know, But that's artist development, even just writing 254 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: for other people. I don't agree with that. I think 255 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: you just you just grow as a human being. Yeah, 256 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think anybody at TV could 257 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 1: teach you how to be No, no, no, not that 258 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: they teach you. But I think sometimes people want to 259 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: sign people there they're ready to put out right now, 260 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 1: they already have everything ready and for you, it was 261 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: more like you discovering yourself and people need time to 262 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: do that and it is time to grow. I commend 263 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: my label because we didn't know that I needed time 264 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: to do that. They definitely, I can't like they didn't 265 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 1: know that I needed time to like build all that. 266 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: They just supported me the way I was.

Um, 304 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: I don't think I consciously changed the sound. I think 305 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: I just didn't know what my son was. Like I 306 00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: didn't know who I was, or what I wanted to 307 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: make son of, or what I was trying to achieve, 308 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: or what I was attracted to sonically, Like I think 309 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: music was like a separate entity and I was just 310 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: over here being me, but I didn't know how to 311 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: conjoin the two or like merge me into the way 312 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: that I process music.

So I'm learning about myself. I'm learning about 499 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: and honestly, I think I was in a lot of 500 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 1: these unhealthy relationships because I didn't have enough self love, 501 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:39,360 Speaker 1: like built up so and I found when I fixed 502 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: the way I felt a boy myself, like these situations 503 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: didn't happen to me anymore, Like I haven't dealt with 504 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 1: a trife dude, and so long, like and so long, 505 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,639 Speaker 1: and I'm super blessed and grateful for that, but I 506 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: do know.

Yeah, but that's what do you get He 600 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 1: should have been driving the bike. What the hell? Drive 601 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 1: the bike? Drive better. I'm not going to risk this 602 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 1: race for you. Just hang on. Yeah, and we are. 603 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 1: Are you still writing for other people? Oh my god? Um, 604 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 1: I think I'm like ready now. I don't think I 605 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 1: was ready before when people were asking you to write, 606 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 1: because I'd never written for anybody before. But now I think, um, 607 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: I'm kind of developing. I think everybody has a different 608 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: way that they communicate with the world and via music 609 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 1: in general. And I did figure out the way that 610 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 1: I communicated with the world and what my like form 611 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: of musical communication was. And I think before I could 612 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: really write for someone with confidence. And now, you know, 613 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 1: it's like you have to find a style. Like if 614 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: you don't have a style, then you're kind of writing 615 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 1: for other people with them in mind, Like what would 616 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 1: you say? But I think honesty and you know, all 617 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: those words coming from a place that counts for everybody, 618 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: Like it's about how you know everybody, not just how 619 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 1: you know you. So I just had to figure out 620 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 1: what my style was, how I communicate what I feel, 621 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 1: what I know like and just streamline it in some way, 622 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 1: but like keep it. I don't know. I just had 623 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 1: to learn more about myself before I could write for 624 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 1: other people. I'm reading now, is that your grandma or 625 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 1: your mom giving your advice? Granny and my mom?

Nobody talked to me 633 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 1: about or my sister about men in my entire life, 634 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: and I think I've had more focus on activities or 635 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 1: what I wanted to do and my sort of my family, 636 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 1: like they ever talk to me about esthetic or being 637 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 1: attractive or which I like resented when I got older, 638 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 1: because I'm like, damn, I wish tobody just put me 639 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 1: on on how to like polish up like I mean 640 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 1: now and again when I really wanted to.

I Um, I don't know. 645 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 1: I think so the way gain had to be hard 646 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: because you had a gymnast, so you always thin. I 647 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 1: was muscle, I was butuffed. I was very like I 648 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 1: was very heavy even as a gymnast, and I ran track. 649 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:44,280 Speaker 1: So I have like very would you in too?

But like 809 00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:58,600 Speaker 1: when you get older, you started to real that's how 810 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:00,719 Speaker 1: small you are in the world, and you're not like 811 00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,160 Speaker 1: all of us are special, but none of us are 812 00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,600 Speaker 1: more special than the other, like at all. But and 813 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:10,560 Speaker 1: it's just it's just interesting, Like it's very humbling, it's 814 00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:12,920 Speaker 1: very and then it's weird. It's a fine line between 815 00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:16,320 Speaker 1: humbling and like crippling because it's like when you realize 816 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,279 Speaker 1: that you're not the ship, or like you're not you 817 00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,359 Speaker 1: know everything you think you are, but there's a lot 818 00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,840 Speaker 1: of room to grow. It's very inspiring and exciting, but 819 00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,200 Speaker 1: it's also like, have I done enough growing yet to 820 00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:27,719 Speaker 1: go back in the world, Like, am I prepared to 821 00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,400 Speaker 1: be in this place? And I think that's kind of 822 00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,719 Speaker 1: where I was. My father would always say, you're never 823 00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:34,319 Speaker 1: as good as they say you are, and you're never 824 00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:36,120 Speaker 1: as bad as they say you are. I like that, 825 00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:39,080 Speaker 1: that's just the mentality to have. Definitely putting this album out, 826 00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:44,680 Speaker 1: there's no listening to it. I've gone now when you're 827 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:49,560 Speaker 1: not going to put it out, like, I think it's dope. 828 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,439 Speaker 1: Women are Women are going to love this album because 829 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,000 Speaker 1: I told you I felt like a lot of emotions 830 00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:57,880 Speaker 1: when I was listening to it, because there's a lot 831 00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,560 Speaker 1: of situations that we've all been in and not too 832 00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,640 Speaker 1: many songs that we have that we can relate it to. 833 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:06,759 Speaker 1: What's the day Friday?

As a solo artist, I love Jill Scott, 836 00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,640 Speaker 1: A love Salon this is kind of this is in 837 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:19,040 Speaker 1: that vein the twenty somethings is the perfect anthem too. 838 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,480 Speaker 1: I think for for a lot of twenty somethings just 839 00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:25,040 Speaker 1: trying to just trying to figure it out. I feel 840 00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:28,000 Speaker 1: that way that was an exercise or writing exercise. Is 841 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,319 Speaker 1: that a constant struggle? Are you looking forward to the 842 00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:33,440 Speaker 1: thirties that you just working it out now? I don't know. 843 00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,200 Speaker 1: I feel rash. Chake your time, girl. One punch is 844 00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:38,560 Speaker 1: mad at me. He just tells me I'm the thirty 845 00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,520 Speaker 1: just when to make me feel bad, like just what 846 00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:44,960 Speaker 1: do you mean? What? I know? It's terrible when you 847 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:46,200 Speaker 1: tell when I feel he's mad at me, and it 848 00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,520 Speaker 1: feels like I'm being immature, Like he's just be like, dude, 849 00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:50,840 Speaker 1: he's thirty, and it'll just be like, wow, this is terrible. 850 00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:55,279 Speaker 1: I can't be just no, like to make me feel 851 00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,440 Speaker 1: like it be more mature. He's saying, like I need 852 00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,200 Speaker 1: to get off. But I think, um my twenty have 853 00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:05,640 Speaker 1: been the most like a violet weird experience. Violent. Violent 854 00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:09,040 Speaker 1: doesn't have to mean physical. Violence doesn't have to mean blood, gore, guts, 855 00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:11,200 Speaker 1: the literal. It could be violent. You've never feel like 856 00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:15,600 Speaker 1: something is jolting, like emotionally abrasive. It's like it's been 857 00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,080 Speaker 1: visually abrasive. I think for right now, for anyone who's 858 00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:20,960 Speaker 1: in their twenties and watching the state of the world 859 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,719 Speaker 1: and their teens and their any age is on some 860 00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,880 Speaker 1: whole other shit right now, it just feels crazy. So 861 00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:28,840 Speaker 1: I think my twenties has just been a lot of learning. 862 00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:32,399 Speaker 1: Like I'm sure I have quite a bit ago before thirty, 863 00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,880 Speaker 1: but by thirty, I'm trying to chill on, like, you 864 00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,040 Speaker 1: gotta get all your get a fine, don't take this 865 00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,040 Speaker 1: the wrong way, but you have to get all your 866 00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:43,439 Speaker 1: holing out before thirty like anything, No, no, you gotta 867 00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:47,239 Speaker 1: get it. You gotta get it out before third whatever. 868 00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:50,080 Speaker 1: My aunt, no, my aunt, you do whatever. You. My 869 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,440 Speaker 1: aunt called me and was just like, I'm gonna go 870 00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:54,279 Speaker 1: see this man and this is not but she's not. 871 00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:59,160 Speaker 1: She's so conservative, she's not like but but it made me. 872 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,600 Speaker 1: She's just like she's comfortable and confident and established and 873 00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,680 Speaker 1: paid like so she's just doing what she wants. So 874 00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:07,399 Speaker 1: I just thought older women just be doing well. Your 875 00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:11,040 Speaker 1: album is very confident and very in control, So that's 876 00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:13,239 Speaker 1: a good sign. How you going on tour, I am 877 00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,240 Speaker 1: thank god, Finally I'm tired of singing the same songs. 878 00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:20,200 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm bored with my own music. Finally 879 00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,520 Speaker 1: I'm going and I'm going to rehearse, and I'm really 880 00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,600 Speaker 1: excited this time. I think last time with tour, I 881 00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:28,439 Speaker 1: didn't know what I was doing. I never performed alive. 882 00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,600 Speaker 1: I never even knew that I sang full voice. That 883 00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:33,000 Speaker 1: was an accident that I found out on tour, which 884 00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:35,040 Speaker 1: is how this album kind of came around with the sound, 885 00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,360 Speaker 1: like not knowing that I was singing in falsetto in 886 00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:39,880 Speaker 1: a much lower tone. When you're live with a loud 887 00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:42,319 Speaker 1: ass band, you have to like yo over them in 888 00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:44,640 Speaker 1: order to hear yourself, et cetera. So I don't know 889 00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:46,040 Speaker 1: that kind of like blended. We don't know what you're 890 00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,480 Speaker 1: talking about, but somebody she's learning, she's learning, and she's 891 00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:52,640 Speaker 1: saying she might either that. I not know that because 892 00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,040 Speaker 1: I didn't know with me. No, I just talking about 893 00:44:55,080 --> 00:45:05,160 Speaker 1: tour job after nine eleven, That is semi true. Yes, no, yeah, so, um, 894 00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:08,520 Speaker 1: my parents my mother's Christian and my father's Muslim, so 895 00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:12,080 Speaker 1: I would wear my jab whenever. My mom was very 896 00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:15,280 Speaker 1: supportive like I went to Muslim prep school on Fridays, 897 00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,799 Speaker 1: I went to do MYI with my dad, and I 898 00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,680 Speaker 1: felt very my dad kind of ran my household. So 899 00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:22,840 Speaker 1: that's just kind of the way everybody went. But I 900 00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,200 Speaker 1: still would go to church my mom every other Sunday 901 00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,279 Speaker 1: or et cetera, because my dad is understanding and a 902 00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:32,960 Speaker 1: human being. Um So I don't know when nine to 903 00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:36,719 Speaker 1: eleven happened. It was just like I don't know, like 904 00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:38,239 Speaker 1: it became a thing, and I didn't know it was 905 00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:42,160 Speaker 1: a thing. Like kids were very like yeah, and they 906 00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,719 Speaker 1: were very sure about the way that they felt about me, 907 00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:48,080 Speaker 1: or about the religion or about Islam, or like the idea. 908 00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:50,719 Speaker 1: And as kids, they thought it was like a very 909 00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:53,200 Speaker 1: separate thing, like you don't believe in God, you believe 910 00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:55,880 Speaker 1: in a lot when like the exact literally the translation, 911 00:45:55,920 --> 00:46:00,840 Speaker 1: like it just means God, it's another word. And I think, um, 912 00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:04,200 Speaker 1: kids main kids paired with fear and ignorance and like 913 00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,480 Speaker 1: that was a very traumatizing thing that happened to all 914 00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:09,359 Speaker 1: of us. Like as a kid, we had to sit 915 00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:11,719 Speaker 1: down and have an assembly, like and everybody talked about that. 916 00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:15,120 Speaker 1: So it's like, in hindsight, it pains me to see 917 00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:20,759 Speaker 1: all this like Islamophobia growing and like snowballing and all 918 00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:24,000 Speaker 1: the bandwagoning, because I know the damage that that can 919 00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,239 Speaker 1: really cause and where that comes from. It comes from 920 00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:28,239 Speaker 1: a place of ignorance and fear. Now I'm a place 921 00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:31,560 Speaker 1: of I don't even know. You know, nobody wants to 922 00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:33,640 Speaker 1: be that hateful or that, but nobody wants to be 923 00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:36,920 Speaker 1: that scared either. So it's just like, I don't know, 924 00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:38,840 Speaker 1: do you feel the need to speak out or do 925 00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:40,680 Speaker 1: you think like the label might be like, hey, you 926 00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:43,360 Speaker 1: know what, maybe not right now? What would never do? 927 00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:47,959 Speaker 1: Never did that. I happened to be on a label 928 00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:51,800 Speaker 1: of real niggas as well, like they don't they support 929 00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:56,799 Speaker 1: they support anything that's real and true. And um, I 930 00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,200 Speaker 1: think because somebody like you standing up and you know, 931 00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:01,440 Speaker 1: like and seen your faith right now, I could really 932 00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,680 Speaker 1: help the community, help the Muslim community. Yeah, but I 933 00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:08,560 Speaker 1: also don't Muslims going through that. I agree. I also 934 00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:12,080 Speaker 1: want to be careful about the way that I represent 935 00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:14,960 Speaker 1: my community or the Muslim community, because I have so 936 00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:17,279 Speaker 1: much respect and so much reverence and I know that 937 00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:19,600 Speaker 1: I don't live by my dean, So you wouldn't do 938 00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:21,520 Speaker 1: that just to make a statement. Yeah, I mean like 939 00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:25,000 Speaker 1: I feel like I can support people and in every 940 00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:26,839 Speaker 1: way I can, and I don't. I also don't feel 941 00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:28,120 Speaker 1: like I'm not allowed to wear a jab, Like I 942 00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:30,279 Speaker 1: feel like I just to be authentic to exactly. So 943 00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:32,520 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna jump out the window and like start 944 00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:34,719 Speaker 1: a mosque tomorrow. But I definitely feel like if there 945 00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:37,560 Speaker 1: are any anyone that needs to like talk or hang 946 00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:40,520 Speaker 1: or feel reinforce, and I have no problem wearing a jab. 947 00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:43,560 Speaker 1: I've picked out new ones recently, Like, I'm very comfortable. 948 00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:45,560 Speaker 1: I'm just comfortable and I love everyone and I want 949 00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:48,640 Speaker 1: everyone to feel not afraid. I feel like educating some 950 00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:50,879 Speaker 1: of these younger kids before they turn into crazy ass 951 00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:53,480 Speaker 1: bullies that snatching off your jab in the hallway like 952 00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,520 Speaker 1: can help too, in a positive, friendly way. I don't know. 953 00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:57,920 Speaker 1: Did it affect you in a way because you was 954 00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:01,919 Speaker 1: kind of choosing, like I guess feel or faith. Yeah, yes, 955 00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:05,480 Speaker 1: that affects your relationship with God, that or affects the 956 00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:11,400 Speaker 1: way you process um goodness. It's yes, that was a 957 00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:16,640 Speaker 1: very interesting thing. I think a lot of things it's weird, 958 00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:19,040 Speaker 1: like religion when you're young versus religion when you're older. 959 00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:21,319 Speaker 1: It's shaped by your parents, the relationship with the church, 960 00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:23,399 Speaker 1: the people in the church, et cetera. Like and when 961 00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:26,279 Speaker 1: I say church, I mean any denomination that has a congregation. 962 00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:31,640 Speaker 1: So I'm just thinking about I don't know. It took 963 00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:35,160 Speaker 1: me a long time to like fall out of fear 964 00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:37,279 Speaker 1: and like kind of fall into faith. But it's weird. 965 00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:40,640 Speaker 1: I got into Christianity afterwards to learn, and not because 966 00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:44,520 Speaker 1: I was afraid of Islam, but just because I spent 967 00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:47,960 Speaker 1: like a lot of my childhood running from like the 968 00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:51,480 Speaker 1: issues with my dad and that represented Islam at the 969 00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:54,319 Speaker 1: time for me, and plus nine eleven plus everything else, 970 00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:55,680 Speaker 1: which is like I just want to try something else, 971 00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:59,840 Speaker 1: Like I just want to Like my dad is a 972 00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:03,239 Speaker 1: very stern My dad is very stern, and he's very 973 00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:07,000 Speaker 1: he doesn't mince words and he doesn't renig on things 974 00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:12,040 Speaker 1: that he says, and sometimes, you know, I don't know. 975 00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:13,799 Speaker 1: I think my dad was just growing at the same 976 00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:15,759 Speaker 1: my parents were growing at the same time that I 977 00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:18,520 Speaker 1: was growing, and I'm sure they wanted more for me. 978 00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:21,640 Speaker 1: Initially they were afraid that I wouldn't have enough or 979 00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:24,239 Speaker 1: that I wouldn't be enough. And I don't know, I 980 00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:27,120 Speaker 1: think my dad was just I get it. I get it. 981 00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:29,600 Speaker 1: He was really going hard on some whole other ship. 982 00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:33,120 Speaker 1: But I'm not afraid of anything. Didn't want you in 983 00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:36,280 Speaker 1: the music industry. Oh, he didn't care about that. It's 984 00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:38,640 Speaker 1: so backwards. He didn't want me on roller coasters, didn't 985 00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:41,600 Speaker 1: want me like inventuring and doing like random things, but 986 00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:43,120 Speaker 1: wanted me to go to school one of me. It's 987 00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:45,600 Speaker 1: nothing that. It wasn't the music industry that he didn't want. 988 00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:47,280 Speaker 1: It was more so he wanted me to do something 989 00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,720 Speaker 1: with my life.

So control, yeah, well it's a life concept. 1017 00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:16,120 Speaker 1: It's more so um when I first think about control, 1018 00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:18,279 Speaker 1: like the computer computer key, I think about sneaking up 1019 00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:21,319 Speaker 1: into my parents added to wait for the dialogue to 1020 00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:23,840 Speaker 1: like work, even though I'm banned from the phone and 1021 00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:26,040 Speaker 1: banned from the computer.

Literally there's Twitter and aim 1024 00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:41,799 Speaker 1: and into it. All that came in the same of 1025 00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,440 Speaker 1: my lifetime. So like I was here before Twitter, I 1026 00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:47,160 Speaker 1: was here before real internet, like before it was like 1027 00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:51,279 Speaker 1: a whole worldwide web. And she was at the time. 1028 00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:53,320 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but I mean I was just on Juno 1029 00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:55,520 Speaker 1: and like googling random things like that's what any of 1030 00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:56,880 Speaker 1: us were doing on the Internet back then. It's not 1031 00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:58,720 Speaker 1: ship out to look at, Like, let me just google 1032 00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:02,480 Speaker 1: what else does look like? Bro? What's that? That's a 1033 00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:06,400 Speaker 1: You can ride around in that little van and just 1034 00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:08,440 Speaker 1: walk up to random girls and try to get them 1035 00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:19,520 Speaker 1: to have sex, right, No, roll up in a creepy 1036 00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:29,760 Speaker 1: van and ask womens Okay, but control, I'm sorry, Okay. Control. 1037 00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:34,120 Speaker 1: Control is a concept. It's just I've just lacked control 1038 00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:36,160 Speaker 1: in my whole life, and I think I've craved it 1039 00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:38,719 Speaker 1: my whole life and I couldn't really arrive at it. 1040 00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:41,760 Speaker 1: And now I'm not really looking to arrive at it anymore. 1041 00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:45,040 Speaker 1: I'm just happy to be present and then trying to 1042 00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:48,560 Speaker 1: It's weird. If you try to control a future moment, 1043 00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:52,040 Speaker 1: it's impossible and there's no sustings control anyway. She's a concept, 1044 00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:55,400 Speaker 1: it's a word, it's a fantasy. And but if you 1045 00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:58,400 Speaker 1: focus on controlling, like the way you feel in the 1046 00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:01,799 Speaker 1: now and what you do with it now, I feel 1047 00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:05,320 Speaker 1: like it leads to having true control in the future. 1048 00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:09,320 Speaker 1: I don't know. It's a theory. I'll figure out, but 1049 00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:11,360 Speaker 1: we like watching you figure it out. The album is 1050 00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:15,080 Speaker 1: really dope.
