What was it about Ohio? 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:24.240 What was what's the appeal? 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:26.440 I'm trying to figure out what Chapelle, because I think 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:28.960 from New York, was in Hollywood and said he wanted 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:32.120 a nice, quieter life to raise a family. What was 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:35.040 the appeal about Ohio to you that that that drew 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:35.400 you there? 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:36.080 Uh? 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:40.560 It was a girl and some cheap laying. I could 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:42.400 talk all day, but I guess I'll go tell you 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:42.800 the truth. 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:46.000 Yeah. So the girl, the cheap layer girl and cheap laying. 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:48.160 Are you still with the girl? Uh? 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:50.120 Yeah, but you got I like how I like how 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:52.480 to Facebook say they get complicated. 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:59.480 It's complicated. I like that one. That was a nice album. 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:01.680 So have you have you run into Chappelle? Have you 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:02.560 seen it? 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:06.000 We're getting close, man, because you know his people is 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:10.120 knowing my people, and you know, I know he's up 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:13.600 He's up north by Dayton, right and I'm out southeast, 0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:17.080 you know, by Cincinnati. I saw on line that you 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:20.600 brought purchasing property five acres in Ohio twenty four thousand 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:23.040 and today's worth over three hundred thousand. Was that your 0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:26.200 thought process, because I'm sure money goes a lot further 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:28.200 in Ohio than it would in la or a lot 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:29.679 of other major cities. 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:31.240 Yeah. Yeah. 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:33.640 My dad taught me how not to fall in love 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:39.000 with a city to the point where it breaks you financially. Okay, 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:43.000 you know I always preach don't let a woman break you, 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:47.440 and don't let a tourist type sentimental city break you. 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:49.080 You know, just you know, like get what you need. 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:49.440 He said. 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:53.920 Even the animals migrate, true, Yeah, very true. The animals 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:55.960 migrate getting a better life. And you standing there like 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:59.880 a food you know. Yeah, would you consider that one 0:04:59.880 --> 0:05:02.440 of your better purchases, that that that land, that real 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:04.720 estate that you was able to put Yeah, real estate 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:07.440 is always good because you know, the value go up 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.839 instead of decrease. Right, So yeah, it was cheap, you know, 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:14.360 coming from La I never heard of a fifty thousand 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:18.719 dollars house, you know, just just different stuff. 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:19.719 Yeah, I got some. 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:22.240 I got two places right next to each other, so 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:24.560 you know I got but you know I didn't. I 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:27.839 haven't heard I heard my dad talk about my grandfather 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:30.960 getting land for that type of stuff, right, you know, 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:34.320 way back when, yeah, back singing Sam Cook and stuff 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:34.760 like that. 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:37.160 Yeah. So I was tripping when I heard them kind 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:38.239 of prices. 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:39.599 And you're like, okay, let me, let me, let me 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:40.800 get a little piece of this right here and see 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:44.480 what's going on. So you got a farm, yeah, is 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:46.240 it considered the farm? Do you have animals? Do you 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:48.479 raise animal do you grow your own cross. I'm a 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:50.760 rapper and I can't hide I do that. I ain't 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.719 growing nothing, you know. All I want is play my 0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:55.800 rap music loud without the police showing up. 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:57.039 I just need some space. 0:05:57.680 --> 0:05:59.520 So you don't so you don't have animals, you don't 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:01.599 grow your own food. Is just you just have a 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.000 big piece of real estate. Yeah, I don't have time. 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:08.080 I be rapping all the time. You said one hundred 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:11.760 and ninety five acres. You want to build your own community? Yes, 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:19.120 Afro Americans. Yeah, I'm gonna say Afro American. I am 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:26.960 of African descent. Personally, I feel like we was betrayed 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:31.080 and sold to the point where I feel like it's 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:37.279 my option to patronize that title or not all due 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:42.039 respect to them. If something jumped off and all black 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:46.320 people were attacked, I would stand with them for survival great, okay, 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:54.560 But I find a lot of them arrogant, condescending, and 0:06:56.160 --> 0:07:01.000 disrespectful to Afro Americans when they're here on the civil 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:05.120 rights that our mothers and fathers and grandfathers fought for. 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:07.360 I just think they ought to be a little bit 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:10.400 more respectful under all the circumstances. Under circumstances that they 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:14.600 betrayed us, backstablished servants sold us and then they're living 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:19.400 in America benefiting off of the civil rights that. 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:19.080 We fought for. 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:23.120 That being said, you're talking about wide America, correct, No, 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:26.880 I'm talking about Africa. I'm talking about Africans that came 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:30.840 over right, Okay, African they sold us, they sold us 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:31.400 in slavery. 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:31.880 Right. 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:37.360 Then you know a lot of them are condescending, disrespectful 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:38.640 toward Afro Americans. 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:39.440 Okakay. 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:45.120 So that being said, I call myself an Afro American, 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:49.360 not denying I'm a descendant of an African, but just 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:53.520 before the betrayal, I call myself an Afro American. Now, 0:07:54.240 --> 0:08:00.840 as an Afro American, I don't believe a community, well, 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:02.440 they have made them in the past, but they have 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:10.520 been destroyed. There's not necessarily a black community or a 0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:16.400 black friendly community designed by black people for black people. 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:19.760 The Greenwood And like I said, they told them down. 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:22.080 You're right, okay, I think so it's like it's not 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:22.880 our option right now? 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:23.760 Right? Yes, okay? 0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:28.640 So now I want to improve on a Greenwood. Oh 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:30.280 I want to, im I want to I want to 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:31.800 come back. I want to try it again and what 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:32.640 is this twenty six? 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:33.160 Yes? 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:39.000 Okay, Now my quick idea is, like, you know, they 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:41.199 say we need to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps, 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:45.240 so you know, whatever they say, the uh, the forty 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:48.880 acres in the mule is the equivalence to the white American, 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:53.040 the fact that we can on paperwork, technically speaking, we 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:56.280 can do what the white American can do. We supposed 0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:58.920 to be equal. That's supposed to be our forty acres 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:02.240 in the mule. Okay, But I believe that American black 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:05.440 people needs. We don't have a place to go, like 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:09.120 you know, there's there's all these things. So anyway, I 0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:13.400 thought about building a city. Now you even got to 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:16.640 be a city at the town. Not that I still 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:23.680 want access to neutral America, but the Afro American doesn't 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:25.960 really have a place to go. 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:27.840 Now there's another thing. 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:34.040 I don't you know, positive black people that don't want 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.880 their kids being called the N word. 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:39.439 They don't have a community. 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:42.600 In my opinion, like everybody, you know, you got to 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:49.760 get there's no sacred place to get right. So I 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:53.800 wanted to make one an anti in word Afro American community. 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:59.240 That word bothers you, huh, it does. Why, Well, well, 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:01.120 first of all, this is here the thing. Here's the thing. 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:06.679 It's the most offensive word in the English language. I 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:12.160 watch this right here. Everybody got freedom of speech. You 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:15.120 got the right to say it, But in my life, 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:17.720 liberty and pursuit of happiness, I got the right to 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:18.360 not hear it. 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:21.679 M hm. That being said, now, I'm gonna. 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:24.679 Be logical when I go to Walmart and the airport. 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:28.640 I'm gonna know I'm in neutral territory and I'm not 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:32.040 gonna go crazy if I hear it. Right, But if 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:35.160 I can, there's nothing wrong with me building a place 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:38.280 where you don't have to hear. Yes, sir, do they 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:40.040 bother you in rap songs? Do you hear? Do you 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:41.360 hear any I?

Yeah, something positive, Yes, sir, When was 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:10.080 the last time you said the N word? Of being 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:10.920 called the IN word? 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:13.760 I mean they I mean on the internet. 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:17.760 Yeah, I mean even if I say something and somebody 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:19.720 don't like it, you know, here it come. Of course, 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:25.840 I when I said it when I was young, when 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:29.360 I was young, like thirteen fourteen, and then I think 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:32.679 I even said it after I was twenty. 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:35.760 On this one song. 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:38.640 Yeah, I thought I was so hard for saying it, 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:43.080 But I figured other black dudes was gonna buy my tape, right, 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:45.480 I didn't, you know, I didn't know, you know whatever. 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:54.360 So but I kind of cut it out around I 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:56.199 held it, slowed it down, and I know I cut 0:13:56.280 --> 0:14:01.400 it out around two thousand. Okay, Wow, that was a 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:03.560 conscious you said. You know what, I don't. I don't 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:06.040 want to be addressed like that. But I also I 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:07.560 don't want to I don't want to be a part 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:10.480 of the stereotype that address another brother in that manner. 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:13.319 Because if we say this, if it's taboo for them 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:14.160 to use it, let it. 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:15.679 Let's make it taboo for us to use it. 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:17.760 I mean, that's the part I don't understand, you know, 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:23.480 like like you know, you know, and I I have 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:28.280 to acknowledge the fact there are self proclaimed in words. 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:33.920 I have to step back and let these brothers exist, right, Okay, now, 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:37.520 I'm gonna let them exist. But I am gonna distinguish 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:38.640 myself from them. 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:39.400 And I love them. 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:42.160 I do business with them, I do this, that and 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:43.640 the other. But you know, they get the N word 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:45.800 too long. I'm gonna I'm gonna get my I'm gonna 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:48.760 get my atmosphere. We're gonna coexist, you know what I'm saying. 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:58.080 But there are self proclaimed in words. So there's got 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:02.000 to be other brothers and sisters that feel like I do. 0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:03.440 And I just need to get where I need to 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:06.080 be and create us a space it is. I think 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:08.600 every subculture has a way of relating and talk to 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:11.120 each other in a negative term, negative way. I think 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:13.640 gay people, gay and lesbian people talk to each other 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:16.160 in their subculture. I think women call each other the 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:19.320 B word in their subculture. I think, you know, transgender 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:21.320 and things, they talk to each other. And so I 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:24.400 don't have Hispanics or whatever, the Asian whatever, you me, 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:27.360 and I love what you said that that's their freedom 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:28.960 of speech. And if that's the way you choose to me, 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:31.200 I don't I necessarily have to be around it, but 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:33.640 I'm okay with that, and that's what I've adopted. If 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:36.080 that's the way you want to communicate in your subculture 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:38.520 and I've never been one. 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:40.000 Is like, man, well. 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:42.320 You called them, called them a negative term, or you 0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:44.960 called her a negative term. Why can't Well, I'm not 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:48.680 in that subculture. I'm not of that ethnicity. So I 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:51.320 but I've never wanted, I've never liked. Because somebody else 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:53.120 said something to somebody, I felt I had the right 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:55.400 to say it too, just because I got freedom of speech. 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:57.640 That's just me. Everybody might not feel that way. 0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:01.160 Hey, there's a thin line between freedom of speech and 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:04.640 disturbing the peace. So you know you ought to use 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:08.080 your freedom of speech to do something important. You want 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:11.479 to be civil, You want to actually get some progress 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:13.880 with your freedom of speech. You don't want to insult 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:16.280 somebody and then they beat you up or kill you. 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:18.080 Well, a freedom of speech is not freedom of consequence. 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:18.920 But you know what I'm saying. 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:22.560 You got freedom of speech, but there is no windshield 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:26.760 between your face and that man fist, and we're gonna 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:29.240 have to holler at you later after we get that 0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:31.320 dude off your ass. So it's a thin line between 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:34.200 disturbing the piece and freedom of speech. So you know, 0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:37.080 people use their freedom of speech to antagonize people. And yes, 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:40.720 you know like you got that, but don't cry when 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:41.840 you get what come with that? 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:44.000 Right? You know, yes, you know so. 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:48.040 But you also own property Oklahoma, California, Mississippi. Why is 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:51.320 it so important for you to own? Operatly? And that's 0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:53.200 a great thing. I mean that you own property in 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:55.440 all these places? Do you just have homes or you 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:57.280 just if that's something? You want to build a community 0:16:57.440 --> 0:16:58.480 in all these places? 0:16:58.680 --> 0:16:59.760 Yeah, you know what I'm saying. 0:16:59.840 --> 0:17:02.880 Like, I want to know where the anti in word 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:04.159 Afro Americans are. 0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:06.119 You know what I'm saying. You have a sign up? 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:08.800 I mean, you know, we may not have to do 0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:09.480 it like that. 0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:14.920 You know what I'm saying. But what's life, liberty and 0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:15.719 pursuit of happenings? 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:18.120 Correct? What's wrong with me pursuing my happiness?

I get a as a musician. 0:28:37.000 --> 0:28:41.000 I get this spark of positivity and hope when she 0:28:41.120 --> 0:28:41.760 come out because I. 0:28:41.720 --> 0:28:44.520 Didn't know her, I don't like I don't like all the. 0:28:46.080 --> 0:28:49.120 You know, I came on the scene with What's Love 0:28:49.200 --> 0:28:50.080 Got to Do with It? 0:28:50.560 --> 0:28:53.040 And Private Dancer, all those songs. 0:28:53.040 --> 0:28:56.680 Well, you know, I you know so I just I 0:28:56.800 --> 0:29:01.800 just Tina Turner taught me. Damn, it ain't over until 0:29:01.840 --> 0:29:05.720 it's blankety blank over, right, So every time I get depressed, 0:29:05.720 --> 0:29:07.840 I always play What's Love Got to Do with It? 0:29:08.400 --> 0:29:10.880 So these songs upload, so every time they play them 0:29:10.880 --> 0:29:13.120 on Spotify and YouTube, you get a little kickback. 0:29:12.840 --> 0:29:15.360 Hume, you know whatever that is. 0:29:15.440 --> 0:29:17.360 You know what I'm saying, a lot of people complain 0:29:17.440 --> 0:29:22.320 about that hair fraction of a penny, you know. Uh, 0:29:22.880 --> 0:29:25.160 Jesus said it's better to give than it is received. 0:29:25.720 --> 0:29:25.920 You know. 0:29:26.520 --> 0:29:31.000 I remember they'll play a rapper song free on the radio, right, 0:29:31.320 --> 0:29:33.720 But then that help you know, it was out right, 0:29:34.360 --> 0:29:37.920 So that helped the rapper get the word out that 0:29:38.040 --> 0:29:40.840 his records were so, you know, like it all balance 0:29:40.920 --> 0:29:42.880 out in my mind, Like, if I don't get it 0:29:42.880 --> 0:29:45.160 from the record company, I'm gonna get it from the concerts. 0:29:45.280 --> 0:29:46.920 If I don't get it from the concerts, I'm gonna 0:29:46.920 --> 0:29:47.120 get it. 0:29:47.120 --> 0:29:48.000 I'm gonna get it somewhere. 0:29:48.160 --> 0:29:50.360 You know, you can't keep it from me, right, It's 0:29:50.360 --> 0:29:52.840 gonna come to me some kind of crazy way. But 0:29:52.880 --> 0:29:55.120 you know, in the beginning, you know, you had to 0:29:55.120 --> 0:29:58.040 play radio stations. I mean they would play the radio 0:29:58.080 --> 0:30:01.240 station to spin yards and so to play your records. 0:30:01.400 --> 0:30:02.480 But here's the thing. Watch this. 0:30:03.080 --> 0:30:05.000 I didn't have to pay nobody to put out because 0:30:05.040 --> 0:30:06.600 I got high. 0:30:07.000 --> 0:30:10.160 If it's good enough, you can't stop it. I like that. 0:30:11.680 --> 0:30:14.120 I didn't pay no promote, And later on in life, 0:30:14.320 --> 0:30:17.400 I was paying people to position my records in front 0:30:17.440 --> 0:30:19.720 of the story. Couldn't verify that they was doing it 0:30:20.040 --> 0:30:20.880 this day and the other. 0:30:21.720 --> 0:30:22.960 And then I thought, I. 0:30:22.920 --> 0:30:24.720 Told myself, I didn't have to do that because I 0:30:24.720 --> 0:30:27.080 got high, Because I got how. I did that by itself. 0:30:27.160 --> 0:30:30.320 So that's just a hustle and a rip off. But 0:30:30.440 --> 0:30:34.040 your music video beat Taylor Smith and Bruno Mars on YouTube. 0:30:35.160 --> 0:30:38.120 I don't know about that, but it sounds good. A 0:30:38.120 --> 0:30:42.880 couple of Simpsons. I like the way that sound. I 0:30:42.960 --> 0:30:44.840 just like the way that sounds. I don't know if 0:30:44.880 --> 0:30:48.640 that's true, hey, but this companed me. We just liked 0:30:48.640 --> 0:30:52.360 the way that sid After watching a friend grow through 0:30:52.360 --> 0:30:54.479 a loss a few years back, I saw how quickly 0:30:54.520 --> 0:30:57.760 grief turned to financial stress.

Okay, now we learned that lesson as 0:41:33.800 --> 0:41:38.640 little kids. Don't let them know it hurt. Man, and 0:41:38.719 --> 0:41:39.400 I'm a rapper. 0:41:39.800 --> 0:41:40.400 I was like, what. 0:41:41.920 --> 0:41:45.560 You would they suing me over some post and a 0:41:45.719 --> 0:41:49.120 song about a man looking at a pound cake. I 0:41:49.200 --> 0:41:52.560 ain't even got started yet, you know, So I was like, 0:41:53.840 --> 0:41:54.400 you ever seen. 0:41:54.280 --> 0:41:57.399 That movie Line Hard? Yeah? Remember when he hit him. 0:41:57.520 --> 0:41:59.799 Linehard toward the end, Linehart was fighting with them broke, 0:42:00.680 --> 0:42:02.000 and that big dude he was just bouncing. 0:42:02.239 --> 0:42:11.200 He tapped them real, So that's why you heard. I was. 0:42:11.640 --> 0:42:14.879 I was surprised, some big bad cops let me see 0:42:14.960 --> 0:42:18.040 where it hurt. And I was surprised that that words 0:42:18.760 --> 0:42:21.759 was hurting them because I'm like, I'm hurting from reality, 0:42:22.000 --> 0:42:24.480 the reality of them kicking down my door, running through 0:42:24.520 --> 0:42:27.279 my house with guns, and I can't answer that. My 0:42:28.280 --> 0:42:31.439 answer to them violating me like that is a rap song. 0:42:32.280 --> 0:42:32.719 You know that. 0:42:33.040 --> 0:42:37.200 That's That's what's embarrassing and hurtful to me. But with 0:42:37.360 --> 0:42:40.080 all of this power, with all of this authority, they 0:42:40.160 --> 0:42:43.560 can't stay on that pedestal. They're gonna let my peasant 0:42:43.760 --> 0:42:49.360 words hurt them. That's the part that surprised me. And 0:42:49.520 --> 0:42:53.720 then all of the other parts, like you raise my house, 0:42:53.800 --> 0:42:58.440 you steal my money, you disconnect my cameras, and then 0:42:58.480 --> 0:43:01.719 you assue me when I say something. Nobody, the audacity, 0:43:02.120 --> 0:43:06.320 the outrage, the spectacle, And then as I tripped, I 0:43:06.440 --> 0:43:08.960 realized the world was tripping with me, and that's when 0:43:09.000 --> 0:43:10.600 I cracked the mouth. You know, when you go in 0:43:10.640 --> 0:43:13.600 the wrong direction, you can't turn around soon, orenough. You 0:43:13.640 --> 0:43:15.799 look at you, you look at your GPS, that blue 0:43:15.840 --> 0:43:20.319 line going back the other way, and I'm looking at them. 0:43:20.480 --> 0:43:23.319 They been going in the wrong direction for three four 0:43:23.520 --> 0:43:27.760 five years, and I knew it, you know, but they 0:43:27.800 --> 0:43:28.279 didn't know it. 0:43:28.480 --> 0:43:28.879 They can't. 0:43:29.200 --> 0:43:31.719 You know, when you mess up, you know, it's best 0:43:31.760 --> 0:43:34.560 to take that deep breath, say hey, I'm sorry, yeah, 0:43:35.200 --> 0:43:37.799 and get that over with. Yes, don't keep that going 0:43:38.320 --> 0:43:40.880 because you're wrong and you're going the wrong way. But 0:43:41.000 --> 0:43:44.480 they messed up. They doubled down, They didn't care, and 0:43:44.600 --> 0:43:48.920 they just splashed and they puddle the wrong you know, 0:43:49.120 --> 0:43:51.760 suing me, stealing the money, all that good stuff. 0:43:51.880 --> 0:43:55.920 Did you get your money back?
