You know, you know 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:54.520 I've been working. To let me tell you why I 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:55.800 took a break in the first place. 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:57.520 I was taking a break to help build the black 0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:01.120 community and all other communities and making sure that we 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:05.280 can actually have our own sustainable situations. Like it was 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:07.880 real and it's still real to this day. But I 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:09.519 know how to do it with wisdom. You know what 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:09.919 I'm saying. 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:11.480 I was, I was really. 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:14.880 Seven years That's what the whole the whole comedy special 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:17.320 is about seven years where I was at, you know, 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:19.959 it's it's it's some comedy and some drama there where 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:23.440 some stuff went little little left. Ever see that Martin 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:26.160 episode where he actually joined that cult and everything. So 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:29.120 it's kind of like some comedy with that exaggerated truth, 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:32.280 but at the same time it went into a place 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:35.880 where trying to I came up with solutions and I 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:38.480 would say God, I would say, God showed me solutions. 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:39.280 I wouldn't give me. 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:44.960 For for our for our we would say galvanizing ourselves together. 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:48.640 And in that when I brought forth solutions to the 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:51.680 to I would say a group of people, it was 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:56.400 received not you see what I'm saying, And it was 0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:58.520 everybody wanted to be the one with the solution or 0:02:58.520 --> 0:02:59.840 we want to focus on the problem. 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:01.320 That's why I was showing you. 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:04.640 People keep saying that Hollywood's doing this, Hollywood's doing that, 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:07.680 as black Man is and that, but then cat all 0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:10.040 of them make more money.
