1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: up to Sis Tea? You're listening to the Daily Game,

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: the compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: that I've found inspiring and help me through the game

5
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 1: of life. Today's quote doubles down on a common saying.

6
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: We've all heard that the truth can set you free.

7
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: But in this edition of the Daily Game, we're gonna

8
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: unpack that and take it a step further. Before the

9
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 1: truth can set you free, you need to recognize which

10
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:40,279
Speaker 1: lie is holding you hostage. That is a lot of

11
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 1: lies out there. You're gonna get paid less if you're

12
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: a woman, if you're from the hood, you can never

13
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: get out. All black people can do. All the hood

14
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,639
Speaker 1: kids can do is sell drugs. If you go to college,

15
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: you're not going to get a job. There's a lot

16
00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: of lies that are bullshit that I hear people saying

17
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: every day. You got to get past all these lies.

18
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: A lot of the lies that are out there are

19
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: just really lies set up to stagnate you. You know,

20
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: then you gotta be willing to live your truth now.

21
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: The lies are just obstacles. And I always tell people

22
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: this difference between obstacles and walls. A wall is I'm black,

23
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: I'm a man, can't change that. An obstacle is something

24
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: that looks like you can't get over it, but you can.

25
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: And the easiest way to get over an obstacle is

26
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: if you can talk to somebody like yourself on the

27
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: other side of that obstacle. They might teach you how

28
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:45,559
Speaker 1: to navigate that obstacle. That's a whole nother story. Let's

29
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: talk about the truth. In my career, when I found

30
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: out that just being iced tea, just being me was

31
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: all I needed to really do to be successful. When

32
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: I started making music, just say what's on your mind.

33
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: Just be honest to yourself, don't act like nothing, Just

34
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: tell them how it is. Be honest. I can make

35
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: hit records. I had to learn the skills necessary to

36
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: make the music. But just being me when I start

37
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: acting and I'm like people just like me. When you

38
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: listen to me on this podcast, it's just me talking.

39
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: When I found out that that had a value, man,

40
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 1: it's like I hit the jackpot. So being yourself will

41
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: set you free. Let's not say the truth. Being yourself

42
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: will set you free when you can honestly live a

43
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: life where you're honestly just being yourself and people accept that,

44
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: or you make people accept that, you will totally be free.

45
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: But when you have to live as somebody else, or

46
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: in an image or in some other warth, you can't

47
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: truly be free. It'll stagnate your life. You're now living

48
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: double lives. So get over the lies, fuck the bullshit

49
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: that these obstacles they've put in your way, and then

50
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: learn to be true to yourself and you can absolutely

51
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: be free. And some of us are that no holds

52
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: bar love us, a hate us, but this is who

53
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: we are, and we found out that that's true freedom.

54
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: This has been another ice cold fact from me iced Tea.

00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,919

00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,560
