And the good 205 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: thing about that was my mom's never spoke bad about Pops, 206 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,679 Speaker 1: regardless of what he was doing and what type of 207 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: character he was the majority of women, fuck your daddy. 208 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: Your daddy ain't ship. So you grow up believe in this, 209 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: and then you have resentment for pops. And this is 210 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: what's going on through through all our households with with 211 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: with young black men growing up.

So, I mean, you know, 214 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 1: it was just it was It's a no win situation, 215 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: you know, unless you got that strong black woman telling 216 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: you your daddy was just going through and trying to 217 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: find itself nine times out of tend that he don't 218 00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: find itself nowhere but in the penitentiary. And you know 219 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: that that's what fox us up. But I'm I'm I'm 220 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: like this. I'm I'm one of those cats that you 221 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: can say, if I know what I knew, then I 222 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: would have been a better I would have been a 223 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: better person. I wouldn't have been involved in doing halving 224 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:23,719 Speaker 1: the ship I was doing. But here I am why 225 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: I blame anybody for my shortcomings. Once I turned sixteen fifteen, 226 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: I should I'm at the point where I should know better. 227 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, I should know if I 228 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 1: want to get in this car and go do this. 229 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: I should know if, if, why do I want to 230 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,839 Speaker 1: hurt this person? This just cat ain't did shipped to me, 231 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,319 Speaker 1: but it was just in me because of my upbringing. 232 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 1: And I chose to use that as a excuse to 233 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,959 Speaker 1: say I got a right to do this. I can 234 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: do this just because you know what I'm saying, because 235 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: this happened to me, or this is the way I 236 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 1: grew up, So let me inflict my intimosity, my pain 237 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: on this other cat. So you know, and the and 238 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: and it. It caused a lot of problems, you know, 239 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 1: going to jail, going to the penitentiary. I had a 240 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: strong support sys of my sisters and all of them, 241 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: you know, helping with my kids. But I wasn't there 242 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: for him. I wasn't there for him. And I got 243 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: two boys, which man, I'm glad to say turned out good. 244 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: You know, they both went to college. My daughter it's 245 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: doing three years right now because she more like her 246 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: mom and dad, you know. On that. I don't give 247 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 1: a fun type of ship. You don't want to hear nothing. 248 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: So it's center to the penitentiary. In a sense, I 249 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 1: feel like I'm the blame because I shouldn't have let 250 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: her go back into the environment with her mom's because 251 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: her mama been to the an attentiony and I let 252 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: her go back. I raised her for seven years when 253 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: her mother went to prison for the second time, and 254 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: I should have kept it from that, but I didn't. 255 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: So you know, she wanted to see her mama and 256 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: go home. When her mama got out of prison, I 257 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 1: made I made her give me a year. She got 258 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 1: her ship together, you know, start driving trucks, she and 259 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: the church, the whole nine. But as soon as I 260 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: took that, that that leash off of her, she when 261 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: he got pregnant, she started gang banging. You know. Her 262 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: mama was known female in the neighborhood, let's say, with 263 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: the business. So they accepted her with open arms, with 264 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: no questions asked. And you know, I tried to figure out, 265 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: you know, what could I have did different? Maybe shouldn't 266 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: listened to somebody else. But in that they're not so 267 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: much of that because I've been down that same road. 268 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: My baby mama done e letter years in the FIDS. 269 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Um, So my two daughters 270 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: by her, you feel me. You know, it was a 271 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: collective hole to You know what I'm saying with all 272 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: my children, that she was the mother figure to all. 273 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. That situation happened. You know, 274 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: I basically had all the kids like too a soldiers. 275 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Yes, sir, no, sir, you know, 276 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: drill sergeant. But it's like when she came home, she 277 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: felt like that time that was missed, she had to 278 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: kind of be a friend the parents. Like I tell 279 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: her to listen when you when you come out here, 280 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: don't don't get solved because you missed that time. They 281 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: really didn't miss nothing because I made sure they kept 282 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: They made every visit, every phone call, pictures. You see 283 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, So don't don't. I know you in 284 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: your mind, I feel like you left them and away 285 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: from them, But in reality you really wasn't because they 286 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: called every visit, whether they shipped you, whever they were 287 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 1: shipping you, I'm flying them and making sure they get there, 288 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So at the end of 289 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: the day, I knew that the kids would play off 290 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,959 Speaker 1: of that. You know what I'm saying that she was 291 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 1: trying to make up for lost time and you know, 292 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: the kids gonna, they're gonna, they're gonna play them games. 293 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying. So the majority of the 294 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 1: time of me having to um discipline my children was 295 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: because of how they was trying to play her, and 296 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 1: they knew better, you see what I'm saying. So when 297 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: I here, I am laying there trying to protect her 298 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 1: from being misused buys them, she get mad at me, 299 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 1: you see what I'm saying. So it was like, you know, 300 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: so it then it turns into okay, well when they 301 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 1: run you up the wall, don't call me about nothing. 302 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 1: I don't want to, you know what I'm saying.

So that's that's 350 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,719 Speaker 1: just basically hack. Oh you gotta give respect to get it, 351 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: That's right, That's right. Yeah, man, I'm I mean, it's 352 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 1: a struggle. You know what I'm saying. Trying to raise them, 353 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: especially when they've grown and they think they know everything. Um, 354 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 1: you know, my daughter shaved. I mean, that's how you was, 355 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,679 Speaker 1: That's how my mama was. You know, how do I 356 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: react to that? You know what I'm saying, be better, 357 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: you'd be better than what we were. Show a difference. 358 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: Somebody gotta show a difference. That that was like for me. 359 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 1: I had my son, the third child i'm telling you about. 360 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 1: He graduate a to college. You see what I'm saying. 361 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: So I besides my aunt, I think my mother's younger sister, 362 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,919 Speaker 1: she graduated college. So she was about the only person 363 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: that I personally knew that graduated college or stayed in 364 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:20,919 Speaker 1: school along. She kept switching up. Um so now you know, 365 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: she kept she kept switching up what you call like profession, 366 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 1: She kept switching them up. So she just forever staying 367 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 1: in school's punning, you know. So um So besides that, 368 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: it's like my parents saying, Okay, when you get sixteen 369 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 1: or you get your permit, we're gonna buy you a car. 370 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 1: You know the stuff that they was telling me when 371 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: I was ten years old. You see what I'm saying. 372 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,119 Speaker 1: But back time I'm thirteen, I got a million dollars 373 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: in counting. By time I'm fifteen, I got three kids, 374 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 1: so I'm doing all this on my own. Nobody was 375 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: able to take care of me. You know what I'm saying. 376 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 1: Because I'm in the street. You know what I'm saying. 377 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: Thirteen fourteen, we're fighting gang lady murders. You know what 378 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: I'm saying. The crew stood solid. You know, you come 379 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: from up under situations. You see what I'm saying. You know, 380 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 1: take the case and they run a concurrent. So all 381 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: I knew is how to stay solid in them situations 382 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 1: and know that don't fall back victim to them situations 383 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:24,119 Speaker 1: as well, you know, And you know, just that whole 384 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 1: life or how reckless we was, Like I just reflect 385 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: on a lot of things, like we're catching guys and 386 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 1: they got their mother with him going into the grocery store. 387 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,159 Speaker 1: But because he got his head to the opposite side 388 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: of what we wear, we're whooping his ass in front 389 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 1: of his mama, And that's that's not nothing to be 390 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 1: proud of to this day, you know. But it's like, 391 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: why would you put your mother in harm's way? You 392 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,120 Speaker 1: see what I'm saying, Going to the store with her, 393 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: with your hat to the left or you know what 394 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 1: I'm saying, or to the obvious is why would you 395 00:22:55,200 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 1: do that? Right? So that alone made a lot of 396 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,919 Speaker 1: disconnect with parents as well, because it's like, listen, you 397 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,120 Speaker 1: had to come clean with your parents, like, look, mom, 398 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: I can't just be going to know any store with you. 399 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,400 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. My oppositions is over there, 400 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: what you mean opposition? So of course she grew up 401 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: in it too, so she knows what's going on, you 402 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So it was like, man, man 403 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: of life, we really had to live. Man is we 404 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: I'm grateful to see another year today, bro, you know 405 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So so, I mean we have the 406 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: same thing, but we had what you called we gave 407 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: people a pass.

And and you know, doing my 410 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 1: gang banging days, gang banging was the only thing I 411 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,959 Speaker 1: focused on. I'm not gonna snatch your first I'm not 412 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 1: gonna go do this this robbery and do this other bullshit. 413 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: My purpose was gang banging and afflicting as much pain 414 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: as I could on anything, and anybody that opposed me, 415 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So it was a it 416 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 1: was a big difference trying to hurt somebody that was 417 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,120 Speaker 1: with their parents.

We don't care about nothing. You 420 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,719 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I just, I just and like 421 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,879 Speaker 1: that's that literally was what we was known for. You know, 422 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 1: we was the enforces of this city, you know what 423 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: I'm saying. So any calls from from from the mob 424 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: or whatever, we had to carry them moves out. So 425 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 1: you it wasn't no turning yellow, you know, that was 426 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,200 Speaker 1: a thing we used to say, you boy, we better 427 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: not catch you turning yellow. We're gonna leave you there. 428 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,919 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, which admit for the light red, red, green, 429 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: and yellow. You know if you get if you hesitant, 430 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 1: we're gonna leave you there because we know you ain't 431 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: about this life. So a lot of times you had 432 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: to witness people that you came up with get left 433 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: on the scene of a situation because you you know 434 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. You know, it's always if you're running 435 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: in the pack, it's always if it's tending that back, 436 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,679 Speaker 1: it's four y'all gonna be on the same page, and 437 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 1: then it's gonna be six. That's iffy. So in in 438 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: them situations, once them four look at each other and 439 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: give each other that I that six might have to 440 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,640 Speaker 1: stay there. You see what I'm saying. You know, when 441 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: you're dealing with a lot of stuff like that, bro 442 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,679 Speaker 1: for so many years and time, it just it takes 443 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: a toll on you. So whenever you're able to like 444 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: for me, like you know we got you know, we 445 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 1: go to the tattoos. My whole back is a mural, 446 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: and it ain't it's complete, but it ain't complete with 447 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,120 Speaker 1: a little warm you know what I'm saying. So at 448 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: the end of the day, for me, I knew about 449 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 1: im playing all the pressure in the pain we never did, 450 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 1: we never did reciprocated until late on. So the pain 451 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 1: we felt when we lost our one member, you see 452 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:02,640 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, allowed me to know that all of them, 453 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 1: all them other how all them other families felt, you 454 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: see what I'm saying. So this is when your conscious 455 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: started kicking in. When you become conscious and you gotta think, 456 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 1: like in my neighborhood. It's the nation of Islam.

So I knew right from wrong. But I 463 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,639 Speaker 1: know every time I go outside that though, it is 464 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,120 Speaker 1: what it is. You know.

And that's what's going on today. If 834 00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:20,839 Speaker 1: you ain't having no money or getting no money, it's 835 00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,040 Speaker 1: like what I'm listening to you for, So you gotta 836 00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:26,800 Speaker 1: listen to these raps and and this, and they ignorant 837 00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:29,240 Speaker 1: to a lot of things.

I 971 00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:07,279 Speaker 1: was able to look through that glass and just be like, damn, 972 00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:09,880 Speaker 1: you know, at one point in time, the Damnon didn't 973 00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:12,239 Speaker 1: have no value. A lot of people don't know that 974 00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:15,399 Speaker 1: the the Beers made a value to a diamond because 975 00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:17,960 Speaker 1: it was just a lot of stones that they had 976 00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:21,000 Speaker 1: access to once they was over there. But in reality, 977 00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:23,239 Speaker 1: had they sold the damnon and put a price on 978 00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:26,479 Speaker 1: the diamond was through marriage. So a lot of people 979 00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:28,800 Speaker 1: don't know that. So that's why for me, it's like 980 00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:31,919 Speaker 1: I don't need no paperwork and no court to tell 981 00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:33,719 Speaker 1: me who I need to be with for the rest 982 00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:36,920 Speaker 1: of my life and all that because deploy was to 983 00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:39,440 Speaker 1: put a price on the damond. So if y'all when 984 00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:44,680 Speaker 1: y'all get off of this, um, go to YouTube or google. Uh, 985 00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:50,200 Speaker 1: the the Beers marketing playing. It's like they marketing playing. 986 00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:52,399 Speaker 1: That's how they marketed the diamond to put a price 987 00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:54,759 Speaker 1: on the diamond. And they started it off with the 988 00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:59,719 Speaker 1: commercial of of the proposal with the ring, and that's 989 00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:04,000 Speaker 1: how they put a price on diamonds. Man, Damn, ain't 990 00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:08,359 Speaker 1: that crazy? So I didn't know. I mean, that's that's 991 00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:11,960 Speaker 1: what I'm fair sober So. So you're taking a stone, 992 00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:16,360 Speaker 1: a gem that was priceless, keeping man you're taking a 993 00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:20,239 Speaker 1: stone that was priceless. Now you're putting a price on 994 00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:25,480 Speaker 1: it to make people kill each other over it. But 995 00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:28,800 Speaker 1: in reality, it's just a piece of glass. There's a 996 00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:33,120 Speaker 1: piece of glass, and it's and and and to mold. 997 00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:38,320 Speaker 1: It is waxed, that's hardened shape detail, But it's not 998 00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:42,160 Speaker 1: worth your life, right. But what I mean, that's the 999 00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:44,960 Speaker 1: choice that we make when we when we do each other, 1000 00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:47,600 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like with the with the 1001 00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:51,280 Speaker 1: when the cocaine hit, you know, some of the homies 1002 00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:53,880 Speaker 1: didn't have it, but when they saw the money that 1003 00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:56,680 Speaker 1: was being made in it.
