Speaker 1: I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's
Speaker 1: up to Sis Tea? You're listening to the Daily Game,
Speaker 1: the compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years
Speaker 1: that I've found inspiring and help me through the game
Speaker 1: of life. Today's quote doubles down on a common saying.
Speaker 1: We've all heard that the truth can set you free.
Speaker 1: But in this edition of the Daily Game, we're gonna
Speaker 1: unpack that and take it a step further. Before the
Speaker 1: truth can set you free, you need to recognize which
Speaker 1: lie is holding you hostage. That is a lot of
Speaker 1: lies out there. You're gonna get paid less if you're
Speaker 1: a woman, if you're from the hood, you can never
Speaker 1: get out. All black people can do. All the hood
Speaker 1: kids can do is sell drugs. If you go to college,
Speaker 1: you're not going to get a job. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of lies that are bullshit that I hear people saying
Speaker 1: every day. You got to get past all these lies.
Speaker 1: A lot of the lies that are out there are
Speaker 1: just really lies set up to stagnate you. You know,
Speaker 1: then you gotta be willing to live your truth now.
Speaker 1: The lies are just obstacles. And I always tell people
Speaker 1: this difference between obstacles and walls. A wall is I'm black,
Speaker 1: I'm a man, can't change that. An obstacle is something
Speaker 1: that looks like you can't get over it, but you can.
Speaker 1: And the easiest way to get over an obstacle is
Speaker 1: if you can talk to somebody like yourself on the
Speaker 1: other side of that obstacle. They might teach you how
Speaker 1: to navigate that obstacle. That's a whole nother story. Let's
Speaker 1: talk about the truth. In my career, when I found
Speaker 1: out that just being iced tea, just being me was
Speaker 1: all I needed to really do to be successful. When
Speaker 1: I started making music, just say what's on your mind.
Speaker 1: Just be honest to yourself, don't act like nothing, Just
Speaker 1: tell them how it is. Be honest. I can make
Speaker 1: hit records. I had to learn the skills necessary to
Speaker 1: make the music. But just being me when I start
Speaker 1: acting and I'm like people just like me. When you
Speaker 1: listen to me on this podcast, it's just me talking.
Speaker 1: When I found out that that had a value, man,
Speaker 1: it's like I hit the jackpot. So being yourself will
Speaker 1: set you free. Let's not say the truth. Being yourself
Speaker 1: will set you free when you can honestly live a
Speaker 1: life where you're honestly just being yourself and people accept that,
Speaker 1: or you make people accept that, you will totally be free.
Speaker 1: But when you have to live as somebody else, or
Speaker 1: in an image or in some other warth, you can't
Speaker 1: truly be free. It'll stagnate your life. You're now living
Speaker 1: double lives. So get over the lies, fuck the bullshit
Speaker 1: that these obstacles they've put in your way, and then
Speaker 1: learn to be true to yourself and you can absolutely
Speaker 1: be free. And some of us are that no holds
Speaker 1: bar love us, a hate us, but this is who
Speaker 1: we are, and we found out that that's true freedom.
Speaker 1: This has been another ice cold fact from me iced Tea.
Speaker 1: Listening again tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your
Speaker 1: ass till then, stay safe, stay smart, and stay knowing that. Sure,
Speaker 1: it's easy to say the truth will set you free,
Speaker 1: but until you're actually living your true life, you're never
Speaker 1: actually gonna be free. Icey's Daily Game. It is a
