Yeah, it's weird. Yeah, And 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:34.120 I don't know how it makes me feel. I just 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:35.919 know it's like I just feel the energy. 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:36.880 But the good thing. 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:39.760 The good thing is that your feet are on the ground, 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:42.279 you feel me where you're like, I like to be 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:43.800 that way where I'm like when people are like hey, 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:46.720 you have no idea, you know who you are. And 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:48.640 I'm like, well, I'm just me, Like what are you 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:50.800 talking about? Like I sometimes forget, I'll go somewhere, I'm like, 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:52.760 oh shit, what are these Oh wow, Yeah, they're staring 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:54.560 because I'm I come out on TV, you know, I 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.159 sing or whatever. So it's it's the craziest thing. But 0:06:57.200 --> 0:06:59.640 I totally get it. I did notice because you FaceTime 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:02.520 me before with your mom. You guys have a very 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:04.200 close relationship, huh. 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:06.200 I think so I tried to. 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:07.720 You know, I grew up with a single month for 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:12.160 the most part, so like, yeah, it's a very honest, 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:17.560 very transparent relationship. Never lied to my mom consciously, like 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:19.800 lied or like try to hit something. 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:23.960 I'm never are you the oldest? I am the oldest, okay, 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:26.200 but yeah, like I don't know, like how we grew 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:27.080 up it was. I don't know. 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:29.040 I just felt like we always had to keep it 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:31.560 real with each other. Like, you know, I'm a product 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:33.960 of an affairs. So my mom was a mistress. And 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:35.600 I mean I talk about this and I don't know 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:38.200 if she ever feels okay with me talking about the situation. 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:40.520 But with that being said, I always saw her chasing 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:43.800 a man, you know, chasing a man and do everything 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:46.400 for him, willing to adapt and do anything. And I 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:48.880 just had sometimes really have really hard conversation with her, like, Yo, 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.640 he doesn't love you. You know this is a kid 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:53.800 like telling because I'm like, if he loved you, he'd 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:55.840 be here, Like he wouldn't be with his other family, 0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:59.320 you wouldn't have to be moving to Texas just to 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:01.480 be closer to the or so he could see you 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:04.840 when he's you know, making trips to buy cars in 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:07.040 the US and take them back there. Like she was 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:09.480 ready at any given time just to be close to 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:11.560 this man. So I don't know, like we just always 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:14.320 had this very brutal, just kind of keep it a 0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:17.400 buck attitude with each other because I just felt like, yo, 0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:18.200 that's all we have. 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:20.400 Yeah, how many siblings do you have? 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:22.560 She me and my sister, and then I have half 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:23.360 brothers have sisters. 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:25.640 I don't speak to them, or not that I don't 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:27.680 want to, or not that I never wanted to. 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:29.920 Remember I'm in my dad's death back. I met them 0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:30.600 for the first. 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:33.040 Time, I was at sixteen, and I told them like, hey, 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:35.600 you know, we're technically brothers and sisters, if you guys 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:38.440 ever want to communicate, I mean her like, that was 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:39.040 my attitude. 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:40.080 That was my mindset at sixteen. 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:43.640 And I remember his wife was like, I hope I 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:45.360 never see the day after that to happen. 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:46.640 I'll never forget that. 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:47.240 Oh shit. 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:58.599 But yeah, I don't communicate with them.

I did hate him for a bit. 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:39.880 I had a lot of resentment towards him, just because 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:42.200 I would see what my mom, my mom was going 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:44.480 through and then so. 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:48.000 She maintained a relationship with him throughout the years they try.

And I also try and 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:49.320 see things from my dad's perspective. You know, he maybe 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:52.440 he was broken as well, and he thought love he 0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:54.840 could find it everywhere, and he was a mess, so 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:57.240 he ended up creating more messes. But that's who am 0:11:57.240 --> 0:11:59.240 I to judge. You know, it's up to me to 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:00.720 change the those cycles. 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:03.600 Is up to me. Whatever happened happened. 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:06.199 Yeah, I might be dealing with some of the things 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:08.160 of those situations, but that's fine. 0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:12.200 I also decided to outcome, you know, absolutely me. Yeah, 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:13.800 So That's where I'm at now in life, Like. 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:17.120 Like I don't know, I do feel fine to look 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.599 I was telling you, I finally feel like I'm somewhat established. 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.000 The things that I've done are no longer an accident, 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:24.960 like I belong here. So once you get to a 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:27.360 certain place, and I'm sure you've been there as well, 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:32.040 you realize like the things you're chasing and you feel 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:33.920 like you made it, Like then you really got time 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:36.520 to look into yourself. And then that's when you look 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:39.360 and realize like, oh shoot, I got a lot of 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:44.360 work to do inside, like like that European car ain't 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:48.640 gonna fix nothing. Me living in a nice apartment don't 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:51.760 mean nothing. Me my mom and my sister don't have 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:55.160 good communication. Yeah, And it's not that we don't talk, 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:57.800 but we're not able to express our feelings to one another. 0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:00.200 And you know what I'm saying, You realize, like a 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:03.760 lot of the things that you were chasing, yeah they're nice, 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:04.480 but they're not the. 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:05.160 Most important, right. 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:07.640 It's getting your priority straight, which is important. 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:09.679 And I always felt like I had my priority straight 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:12.920 because what drove me to that was to be the 0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:14.760 man of the house. I remember, I'm telling you, And 0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:17.040 it's just something that I always played in the back 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:19.599 of my head, like why I operate or function in 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:24.559 certain ways like I'm very like right because I got 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:26.360 sixteen when my dad passed, right, and this depth that 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:27.760 I tell them, Hey, don't worry about it. I'm gonna 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:29.560 take care of my mom and my sister. At sixteen, 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:31.560 I didn't know what kind of pressure that meant for me, 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:34.240 but in the back of my head, I equated to 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:35.920 be the man of the house, was the bread winner 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:37.760 and man, if you made a lot of money, you 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:39.400 could pay the bills. And if you pay the bills, 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:42.240 you're the man of the house. You realize that once 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:44.000 you make that money and you chase you and to me, 0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:46.360 like my dreams are gonna pay me out like it like, 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:48.120 if I'm gonna be a famous DJ, I'm gonna get 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:49.640 cash out. If I'm gonna be on radio, I'm gonna make 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:51.440 a lot of money. So that was like my driving 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:54.280 force reach your dreams because with those dreams, who possibly 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:57.680 come financial stability. And with that financial stability you finally 0:13:57.679 --> 0:13:59.679 get to become the man of the house.
