Man. 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:20.760 And I got to commend you man on what you're 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:23.760 doing over there, man for developing with Developing Options. Man, 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:26.040 and I found that was something just to date, man, 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:29.320 you developed that after you did your prison stint. Man, 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:31.200 was that something that you thought about when you was 0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:33.800 inside and nothing thinking about you was gonna start changing 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:38.200 the community around definitely? Um, when not what I did 0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:40.760 with developing nice and I already talked about and planning 0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:42.359 it out when I was when I was in there. 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:45.960 Oh wow, And you've done a lot of stuff with that, man, 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:49.760 I know. Um, people always table tendency to think about 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:51.800 the football when they think about what people doing their 0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:55.320 nonpross and everything. But you coordinate a whole lot of 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:59.680 different services for the community. Man, m hmm, yeah, we do. 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:03.720 We do football, we do community, community get back. We're 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:08.280 currently feeding the elderly every week. Um, we do a 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:11.320 lot of food drives. Like we're real strong around Christmas 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:14.160 time and trying to help everybody have a good Christmas. 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:17.640 All done the Muslim Montal practice. And but I tend 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:19.320 to try to want to see you know, people have 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:22.040 some specially little kids have something that they can't have 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:24.320 nothing at that time, we focused a lot of energy 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:27.880 on that. Um. But more than anything, man, it's really 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:30.120 like you know with the Gang of Eventure just being 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:33.520 an example of of how red, blue and green and 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:37.600 all can can that marriage together and get along. Yeah, 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:41.480 you've always been a big voice in that. Man. What 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:43.880 did you think we can do as a society, man 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:46.760 to just make that better? Man? Just all start living 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:51.320 as black men. Man. It's crazy because we just had 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:56.400 like in the last nine were the last six months, Man, 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:59.840 we had a bigger spike that we didn't had in years, 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:04.640 like in in in decades. Right with with with with 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.120 the violeus and the violus is different because right now 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:11.120 it's neighborhood on neighborhood. Its neighborhoods fighting that didn't never 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:16.760 fight each other. And I think that comes because of 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:20.400 the the youth. Like when we was younger, we understood 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:21.960 and we honor. We had a little more respect on 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:25.560 how we do it. These kids don't have that, you know. 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:27.960 And it's not that they don't have respect for the 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:31.440 elders are their homeboys. It's just that it's not really 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:33.320 no honoring. And I was crazy I had to say that, 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:37.080 but it's not no honoring mong thieves. You never thought 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:41.000 about taking some boxing gloves to the neighborhood and uh 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:45.719 get them up, man, Look that this is the problem 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:48.159 it's not you know what I mean. These niggas ain't fighting. 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:50.840 The nigga's gone then from using all these different drugs. 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:54.520 They ain't none of they know they can't fight. It's 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:57.440 only one or two of the kid. But if you 0:04:57.480 --> 0:04:59.760 look at these kids, these casts, man, these cast is 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:03.520 this seeing that right? You know what I mean? And 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:06.200 it's because it was ship they put into their system. 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:09.479 And you gotta remember, man like and this this is 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:12.120 the real key. When we was younger, it wasn't it 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:15.479 wasn't fashionable. We used in cocaine, tuning and and and 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.919 tuning and smoking and taking all appeals. That's what we 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:22.760 didn't do. We looked we looked at that as bullshit. 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:25.880 For you to be indulging in that lifestyle and want 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:29.120 to be a gangster claiming the neighborhood. You was looked off. You. 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:31.200 You were straight up as the clockhead. You feel me, 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:35.680 the clockhead. Now we're living in the air. We're living 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:38.960 in the air with these dudes is older heads and 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:41.800 all this ship in this in the state thing, you know, 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:45.840 and um, you get seven eight of them is doing 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:47.840 the same thing. They got a crew that's a crue, 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:51.360 you know what I mean. I mean, you know, I'm 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:54.320 gonna pull up on minds, but it ain't. Dudes can't 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:59.320 do that everywhere else, right, Yeah, exactly, And like you said, 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:01.680 the drugs big thing because these cats, they're not on 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:05.480 y'all you're smoking weed, man, They on the lane um 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:08.440 snort and cocaine. Now, of course, like you said, cocaine 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:10.520 wasn't fashionable when we was coming up. You was like 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:12.560 eight said, he was a cluck if you was doing that. 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:15.760 And it's definitely the drugs man. You know, you hear 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:18.040 a lot more music. You know, back in the eighties 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:20.880 and nineties it was you know, it was frowned down 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:23.200 upum man. Not the music is condoned and everything, and 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:24.880 it's pretty much put out there in front of our 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:27.680 kids at an alarming rate. Well, you know, our music, 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:33.200 our music, our music promoted promoted using marijuana, but we 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:36.200 didn't promote using cocaine. So we're in that middle. The 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:39.520 music before us that we grew up on. They was 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:44.599 talking about heron Angel does PCP. They was talking about 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:49.880 all of that, but our music what what he was 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:54.760 talking about? Pushing it? Yeah, what do you what a 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:57.280 big you? What do you think it leads the kids 0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:02.599 into that role of advocation, sipping on Lean now and 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:05.240 the motherfucking doing all the drugs that they promote with 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:08.600 a popular music, it's it's it's popular music like it's 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:12.120 popular music like right now on the South zone. So 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:15.800 if you remember that Lean came from there, right that 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:19.440 that that Lean and treads, you can see we used 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:23.440 to dictate the culture. To look at the culture Penalton's 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:28.040 Khaki's five ones golf hats. We dictated that for a 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:31.480 whole era. So but when you look at it now, 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:37.280 our kids look and sound like they're from the South. Yes, 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:41.200 real ship because Lean and and and and taking this 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:44.000 and and and and justin Lean didn't come from us. 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:47.360 That's some ship that came from the South. We dictated 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:50.040 all of that, man, you know what I mean. Yeah, 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:52.680 it's crazy and it's out of controls. The epidemic right now, 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:55.600 we're losing a lot of people. It's like this opioid 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:58.120 epidemic is like the crack epidemic was in the eighties. 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:00.520 There's a lot of people falling off man from that stuff. Man, 0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:03.240 between them pills and that leaning stuff, because it's all 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:07.400 here when at the end of the day, right, you know, 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:09.080 it's all here, and at the end of the day, 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:12.600 you got you gotta you gotta find a way to 0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:15.720 reach the young cats in the neighborhood, especially with you 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:18.040 Big Year. You got a lot of influence over there. 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:22.120 So you can't pull up. You can pull up and 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:25.000 and and put them the niggers in the huddle and 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:29.679 hold a conversation. Most of the big homies, these little 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:32.720 cats don't respect the big homies no more. The big 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:35.520 homies can't tell them ship because they don't want to 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:39.240 hear it. They want to get down like they get down. Yeah, 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:41.320 I mean, look at the way they dressed. Now, they're 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:45.280 sagging way harder than than we came back in the days. 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:49.320 And that ain't even at even like real talk. I 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:52.320 look at these dudes, man, that don't mean that no more. Ye, 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:54.280 the way these dudes where they closed don't even it. 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:56.920 Don't represent like we used to represent. Saggy used to 0:08:56.960 --> 0:09:00.360 need something U sagument that you was banging ship. Sagging 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:02.439 was like I know, if me a horseman. In ninety 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:06.600 seventy nine, when hip hop first came, we couldn't wear 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:08.720 a cake. It was all the different ways we tried 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:11.640 to represent you couldn't wear the rags no more. But 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:13.720 it took the rags. You'll get the writer for the rag. 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:16.880 I came with the cake cutter. You'll get the Rider 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:18.520 family cake. If you had a cake cut out to 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:21.640 a left pocket, right pocket, they write you up for that. 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:24.240 Then we tried to put studs on our pants and 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:27.000 put six dozen put studs on one side and put 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:29.320 up golf hast to the side there right, you up 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:31.240 for the The only thing they could not write us 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:34.480 up with for a Horseman middle school was if we 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:37.840 left for our building home on that you know, you know, 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:41.880 you say, you know, give me the rid. I love 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:48.960 my bill. Remember we cut our pants up. Then they 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:51.160 give you a sword or they give you a need 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:53.880 with thread t sow that shut up right there, yeah, 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:57.880 right to me. I don't know where nobody else sag 0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:00.200 and came from. And that's definitely where we got sag 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:03.120 It from. Because they couldn't tell us nothing. You know 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:05.439 what they couldn't tell us like we pull your pants 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:07.040 and we pull our pants that we still you're gonna 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:09.120 see them see the underwear and see what we gotta. 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:13.520 You're gonna see something. But so today I look at 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:17.480 these dudes. Man, you think it's just they just show 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:23.520 their ass everybody, all of them that I honestly to 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:29.439 make a second hard with shi things in their draws. Yeah, 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:34.880 just during But it's it's a shame though. So how 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.760 do you react to those little cats over there? Because 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:40.600 then look what I'm gonna say this man, And you 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.240 always cheat you home. It's always a given a take, 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:45.680 you know what I mean. There's never nothing perfect. We 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:48.960 ain't perfect. I ain't perfect. I'm not living a perfect life, man, 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:53.240 you know what I mean. I'm striving forward, bettering everything 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:56.199 that I do and greatness and everything that I do. 0:10:56.880 --> 0:11:00.760 I know they respect me because they see where I 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:04.199 am and they see I'm still right here. I'm still 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:06.439 up tainable, I'm still touching, but I'm still in the hood. 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:08.640 I'm still I still live in the hood.

You know what 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:20.800 I means, You expect the dude who who's showing you 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:23.400 would have grown. Man can do like I'm around, but 0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:27.040 I ain't around like I'm buying property over here. Um, 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:29.680 I'm actually in one of my properties right now in 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:33.320 my neighborhood. And know that I just got about a 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:36.560 year ago, and I'm just chilling right here. We're gonna 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:39.600 start building this out and change this out. A couple 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:42.199 of months. I was waiting for line up the line 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:45.640 and line for the building. But they understand. They're like, okay, 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:47.079 you're big on me, you know what I mean, He 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:53.160 right here, first generation, and still I give him a 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:56.200 couple of them if I have to. But they got 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:58.079 to respect that, you know what I mean, Like, I 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:00.000 ain't no need gonna you know, you're need gonna tell 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:02.360 me he ain't listening to me. And I said that 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:05.240 because I feel like Nigga, I was here first and 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:08.959 I ain't never fell on. So when I fall off, 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:10.600 then you can say you ain't listening to me, Nigga, 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:12.520 but you ain't gore to come around here, and you 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:14.800 ain't been around here for ten years. And now you've 0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:17.280 been around here ten years, Nigga, been around fifty and 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:19.800 now you now, I ain't on the block. Ain't gonna 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:21.960 tell you how to run the block. But I daitily 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:23.720 gonna come and say, like, man, look, why are we 0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:26.000 beating with these names? And what'st up with this? You know, 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:29.240 I'm gonna definitely say that, I'm gonna definitely get it, 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:31.480 you know. I mean, I feel like a lot of 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:34.840 g niggas. I don't want to have to go through that. 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:38.920 And I can respect that, but it's necessary for somebody 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:41.280 to be there a common fortunate. I mean, when we 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:43.800 was younger man coming up and we was going to 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:45.959 get in the tour with other dudes that we got 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:47.960 along with the homies and be like, man, hold on, man, 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:50.640 y'all slow up right, you know what I mean. Don't 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:52.440 don't go over there tripping on them niggas. We've been 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.920 get along to the niggas for years, man, don't. And 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:59.480 that's always right. Well, you don't have a plan like 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:02.840 that in the neighborhood no more. And you know, like 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:05.440 the ship isn't going on in company right now. These 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:08.800 cast is dropping like flies, just killing each other for nothing. 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:13.720 And you know, I believe you can never You ain't 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:16.400 gonna never be able to stop gang banking. That ship 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:20.160 is just there. But you gotta find a way to 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:23.959 fix how the ship is going right now. And and 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:26.959 and nobody got a solution for that. You know what 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:30.440 I'm saying, Because I got a solution for it. What's 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:33.959 that we gotta get involved. That's for real, bro, I'm 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:38.120 gonna tell you like this real talk. It's more niggas 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:41.520 is not doing the bullshit, then it is niggas is 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:45.080 doing the bullshit on any given time on the streets. 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:49.480 That's the fact, because if a nigger is doing the bullshit, 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:54.640 he's evasically gonna get locked up. So at any given 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:59.000 time there are more niggas from every set that's not 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:01.760 on the bullshit it on the streets just free. Then 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:05.040 the niggas just is you got gang bangers and got 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:08.720 gang members. Yep, you got you got some some cash, 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:12.240 more into the game banging ship than the other ones. 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:14.559 Is some niggas ain't gonna getting no car and go, 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:17.240 you know, drive by. You know what I'm saying, They 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:19.680 just ain't gonna do it. And then you got the 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.160 hit us. You know what I'm saying, Them the ones 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:24.720 you gotta talk to. But them the ones that don't 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:28.080 want to listen. But every neighborhood only got about keeping 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:30.280 one hunting. Every neighborhood got too three clicks of the 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:33.480 kid as it depends on beating the neighborhood is and 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:35.680 then you know what I'm saying, you only get you. 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:39.520 It ain't every neighborhood ain't clicked on where everybody's going. 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:43.400 Now something can happen to you can hit the right 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:48.760 nigga in a certain neighborhood and now everybody's gathernized and going, 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:51.960 and then that's the last for a period. But just 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:56.280 on a regular basis, it's not you know, every nigga 0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:59.200 that is going, so to keep it one hunted with 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:04.800 everything everybody, it could be changed. It ain't over because 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:07.080 and the reason why I really why I would never 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:10.320 say it's over and it's not doable, is because we 0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:13.520 did it in the Pan, did in the Pan for years, 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:15.760 doing it in there. They're still doing it in there. 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:18.880 You gotta watch each other. But when you come home, 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:21.640 it's right back to the same thing. If if if 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:25.440 brothers brought that home, that same mentality home with him. No, 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:27.520 they're just saying, how we're getting down. We ain't get 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:30.920 we gotta look out for each other. But how how 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:34.320 do we change that? Those mentality from the niggas who 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:36.360 come home and want to be on that But the 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:39.280 niggas who still stuck on. Like you said, how do 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:42.920 we change nigga's motherfucking mind. Well, you gotta look at 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:46.960 it like this eight gangbanging has has has took a 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:50.320 turn for the worst. You got you got gang bangers 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:56.600 with gang bangers like on some faulty ship. You've got 0:15:56.600 --> 0:16:00.800 guys that's dying their hair and when ends with twelve 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:05.800 zippers you got. I mean, it's just so fucking different. 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:09.760 Why gang bang? If this is the look and this 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:12.240 is the way. You know what I'm saying, you got 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:15.080 you and and I don't want to bring it up, 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:18.160 but you got cats. I don't know if they're coming 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:22.280 from prison with this motherfucking attitude or mentality or you know, 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:27.920 messing with boys. You know what I'm saying. That's not 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:32.080 everyday thing in the neighborhood. You know what I'm saying. 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:35.680 So and and a lot of these cats is getting 0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:39.640 locked up on g P ship, you know what I'm saying. 0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:42.120 And they just don't have nobody to guide them the 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:45.479 right way, you know what I'm saying. And and everybody 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:48.640 out there, the majority of think that you have to 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:51.920 do a drive by to be solidified in the hood. 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:56.720 That's not what it is. You have to put in work. No, no, 0:16:57.040 --> 0:17:03.040 everybody ain't built for that. The answer is really in us, bro, Yeah, 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:06.720 it really can't. And and it's crazy because I hear 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:09.400 dudes talking all the time like we're trying to get 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:14.439 a program to go into the county jail, right to 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:17.280 try to address the phase. You gotta go in and 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:19.760 get three phase and all this and all that. Then 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:22.840 these things just getting these phase coming out and feeling like, 0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:25.520 you know, it didn't go their way or they're feeling 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:28.240 feeling some kind of way about it. So we're trying 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:30.840 to create a program to help that. That was that 0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:32.760 way in my mind, and my mind. It called me 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:35.600 and asked me what was one way I felt we 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:38.480 can affect change in South Central and the fact and 0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:42.800 I said that stop the phase, go into the county jail. 0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:45.680 Stop these nigs from comedy and get beat up. Dudes, 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:48.560 get beat up who don't know they ain't even really 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:50.479 from thehood. They just grew up and they asked him 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:52.679 to tell them over the wrong place where they grew up. 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:54.880 Now you gotta get a phade, three phades. You gotta 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:57.560 get beat up. You might get stabbed if you win 0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:00.399 too many fights. You can't win because you're in you're 0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:03.119 in a bad situation. So if you win, you know 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:05.679 you're gonna get your ass kicked. When they're doing that, 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:10.400 that boxing program and and focusing on solid Dad, then 0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:13.400 they have a boxing program like that. Now that ain't 0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:15.480 the boxing program. When you come to the county jail 0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:19.400 right now, if you from certain neighborhoods, you're gonna get 0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:27.960 some phades. And ain't no boxing program we got, yeah, yeah, 0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:32.199 they got to non affiliate, non affiliate fights. But what 0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:34.520 so this is just something. This is another program then 0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:38.720 I'm getting involved in to help go address those things 0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:42.520 just happening within the county jail, you know what I mean. 0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:46.040 And so we're trying to put something together to get 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:51.040 to get inside there, to to to you know, affect 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:55.199 changing there.
