WEBVTT - Truth Can Set You Free

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:04.440
<v Speaker 1>I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's

0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:07.680
<v Speaker 1>up to Sis Tea? You're listening to the Daily Game,

0:00:08.160 --> 0:00:11.920
<v Speaker 1>the compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years

0:00:12.240 --> 0:00:16.000
<v Speaker 1>that I've found inspiring and help me through the game

0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:21.120
<v Speaker 1>of life. Today's quote doubles down on a common saying.

0:00:21.160 --> 0:00:24.320
<v Speaker 1>We've all heard that the truth can set you free.

0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:27.600
<v Speaker 1>But in this edition of the Daily Game, we're gonna

0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:30.920
<v Speaker 1>unpack that and take it a step further. Before the

0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:34.840
<v Speaker 1>truth can set you free, you need to recognize which

0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:40.279
<v Speaker 1>lie is holding you hostage. That is a lot of

0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:43.239
<v Speaker 1>lies out there. You're gonna get paid less if you're

0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:45.800
<v Speaker 1>a woman, if you're from the hood, you can never

0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:49.080
<v Speaker 1>get out. All black people can do. All the hood

0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:52.639
<v Speaker 1>kids can do is sell drugs. If you go to college,

0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 1>you're not going to get a job. There's a lot

0:00:55.800 --> 0:01:00.000
<v Speaker 1>of lies that are bullshit that I hear people saying

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:03.680
<v Speaker 1>every day. You got to get past all these lies.

0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:05.520
<v Speaker 1>A lot of the lies that are out there are

0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:09.280
<v Speaker 1>just really lies set up to stagnate you. You know,

0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:13.000
<v Speaker 1>then you gotta be willing to live your truth now.

0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:16.520
<v Speaker 1>The lies are just obstacles. And I always tell people

0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:23.400
<v Speaker 1>this difference between obstacles and walls. A wall is I'm black,

0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:28.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm a man, can't change that. An obstacle is something

0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:31.680
<v Speaker 1>that looks like you can't get over it, but you can.

0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:35.120
<v Speaker 1>And the easiest way to get over an obstacle is

0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:37.880
<v Speaker 1>if you can talk to somebody like yourself on the

0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:40.560
<v Speaker 1>other side of that obstacle. They might teach you how

0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:45.559
<v Speaker 1>to navigate that obstacle. That's a whole nother story. Let's

0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:49.160
<v Speaker 1>talk about the truth. In my career, when I found

0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:53.600
<v Speaker 1>out that just being iced tea, just being me was

0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:58.000
<v Speaker 1>all I needed to really do to be successful. When

0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:00.440
<v Speaker 1>I started making music, just say what's on your mind.

0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:03.320
<v Speaker 1>Just be honest to yourself, don't act like nothing, Just

0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:06.240
<v Speaker 1>tell them how it is. Be honest. I can make

0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:09.680
<v Speaker 1>hit records. I had to learn the skills necessary to

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:12.480
<v Speaker 1>make the music. But just being me when I start

0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:15.200
<v Speaker 1>acting and I'm like people just like me. When you

0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:18.000
<v Speaker 1>listen to me on this podcast, it's just me talking.

0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:22.240
<v Speaker 1>When I found out that that had a value, man,

0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:26.359
<v Speaker 1>it's like I hit the jackpot. So being yourself will

0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:29.880
<v Speaker 1>set you free. Let's not say the truth. Being yourself

0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:33.040
<v Speaker 1>will set you free when you can honestly live a

0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:38.440
<v Speaker 1>life where you're honestly just being yourself and people accept that,

0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:42.840
<v Speaker 1>or you make people accept that, you will totally be free.

0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:46.000
<v Speaker 1>But when you have to live as somebody else, or

0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:49.200
<v Speaker 1>in an image or in some other warth, you can't

0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:53.960
<v Speaker 1>truly be free. It'll stagnate your life. You're now living

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:57.960
<v Speaker 1>double lives. So get over the lies, fuck the bullshit

0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:01.560
<v Speaker 1>that these obstacles they've put in your way, and then

0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:05.639
<v Speaker 1>learn to be true to yourself and you can absolutely

0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:10.600
<v Speaker 1>be free. And some of us are that no holds

0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 1>bar love us, a hate us, but this is who

0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:16.760
<v Speaker 1>we are, and we found out that that's true freedom.

0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:24.160
<v Speaker 1>This has been another ice cold fact from me iced Tea.

0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:27.919
<v Speaker 1>Listening again tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your

0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:32.520
<v Speaker 1>ass till then, stay safe, stay smart, and stay knowing that. Sure,

0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.360
<v Speaker 1>it's easy to say the truth will set you free,

0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 1>but until you're actually living your true life, you're never

0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:44.040
<v Speaker 1>actually gonna be free. Icey's Daily Game. It is a
