Speaker 2 (00:27):
I'm feeling damn good man. How you man? I'm blessed man?
Where your mental lit?

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Man? I'm on man?

Speaker 2 (00:32):
You know what though I'm in perspective man, you know
what I mean with the k not to see understand
I'm saying I'm on about a seven and I can
still always work on.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Seven out of ten. Seven out of ten. That's great, Yeah,
that it could be.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
It fluctuates, Yeah, some you know, some days are better
than others, but you know it can get to an eight.
It's never perfect, It's never perfect. What makes it go up,
what makes it go down? Diet, working out, being around
good energy. You get what I'm saying. It fluctuating in
that perspective, you know, just dealing with things that I

(01:10):
dealing with rationale so you know seven, I kind of
try to stay at a seven.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
You know what I mean. I try to stay at
a seven.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Hey, for people who might not know who you be
familiar who you is. You know on my platform, explain
to him who you is, where you're from, how you come,
where you're going. Man, I'm Westside kim Man. That's what
they calling man. I really don't like attributes, but the
streets gave me that. You know, I'm comfortable with it.
You know what I'm saying, I'm from. I was born
at Grady, I graduated from Grady High School. From the

(01:42):
West side of Atlanta, Martin Luther King, and that's where
it started.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Where I'm going, I'm going as far as I can
take it, you know what I mean, That's what I see.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
I take it day by day and I deal with
things accordingly.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
It was a little insight on your journey, Like you
know what I'm saying, upside down.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
You know.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
What built me was being from Martin Luther King. And
if you're familiar with Martin Luther King, you know all
around the world, Martin Luther King's at the same facts.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Called slums, ghettos, whatever, And it kind of mold me
to say that I don't want to be that. I
want to be better than that, you know what I'm saying.
So my journey was, you know, I was hustling at
an early age. I learned a lot at an early
age that really stuck with me throughout my you know,
older years and all. That's just basically it. Man. I

(02:34):
did eleven years in prison, you know what I mean,
eighteen different camp, two thousand people's account, thirty thousand individual
that I encountered, and that taught me. So everything in
life got to be a learning experience for you. Oh
so do you think do you think you going to
prison like saved your life?

Speaker 1 (02:52):
Hell no, I didn't need to go to prison to
rehabilitate myself. Most even say that like that.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
You know what, I'm not a druggie. I just was
addicted to money. Yeah, I was addicted to perfecting the
craft that wasn't meant to be perfected.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Yeah you understand what I'm say.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, I was just if I knew something, I would
have jumped on the other side and did wrong on
that side, versus jumping on this side to do wrong
and be punished for it. Yeah, you understand what I'm saying.
I would have became a politician. They doing wrong, but
don't get punished for it. Not being a hustler, because
when you do wrong, you get punished for it.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
That means you ain't playing in the same field.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
You know what, Bro, it's showed crazy that we only
do what we know, right, you know what I'm saying.
We see hustle, so we hustling, right, A poplutenemy this
shit right. He was like, Bro, if you watch the
movie American Gangston My Paula La Trump, he was like
when they was going when Denzel went over to vigna On,

(04:00):
he went all the way in the woods to get
the dope, right, but he's walking past all the crops
and ship that really make the money. You walked past
the goddamn kind and he walked past the corn. He
walked through all that to go get some ilegal shit
because that's already know just mad as. If you were
got them going to spend that money and bring the
ship that goes, he'd have been the biggest black distributor
of corn and all that shit because you talked to

(04:22):
the same niggas, right, that's crazy, right, it's not crazy
because that's what you wanted to be. You didn't know
how to say a coin, you know, to say, you
know you dope, yeah, and that what was getting in
the neighborhood for you to enable you to do the
things that you wanted to do. You wasn't that type
of business man. You didn't know who to say a

(04:44):
coin to. But it's the same business though, because you're
marketing that dope without you can't even market that dope
out loud.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
You an't goddamn market man.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
You bring that ship, man, you could have win and
got that ship for cheap of the same ship, right,
but guess sold it to the Stroes. But guess what
though true indeed, but now you're dealing with agriculture. Now
you got to go through all the logistics of bringing
the coin back because it's legal. So now you're gonna
bring the coin back in a legal way. By the
time you get that, the coin price it's gonna fluctuate,

(05:12):
and then she's gonna be just like the dope bank.
You you get.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
What I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
I know when that don't make it, I already got it,
sould Now that coin I.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
Got to go take it to this market. I got
to see if they want it.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
I gotta see if they you know what I'm saying,
what the shit gonna come six months later? So now
your money just sitting in a spot for six months
because it got to go through customs. So but you
know what the problem of bank, this is what the
problem is. When it lands in our neighborhood. We got

(05:44):
to look past that ship and keep walking. Just like
how you just said, keep walking. We walked past the coin.
So when they drop the guns off, don't pick the
guns up and go shoot your brother. Lead a gun
for them to go shoot. They fucking brother. When they
dropped the dope off, its.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
Coming from the government. We can't.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
We ain't smart enough to get that ship through like that.
We only get the back end of it, you see
what I'm saying. So when it comes through, we got
to be able to leave that ship right there and
keep going, but we pick it up. What you feel
like your purpose is in his life, man, My purpose
and life are real for real. Just to get closer
to my guard man. And that's the only purpose. And

(06:22):
if I could get purposely closer to my guard then
I know how to treat you. And when I know
how to treat others and others know how to treat others,
I think that's the purpose, because I really don't have
no purpose.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
My purpose, that's my to be a better person.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
Your purpose is to be the best person you could be,
and then I'm gonna be the best person to you.
And then if I be the best person of you,
you're gonna be the best person to hurt. And if
we can multiply that, then the world become a better bicycle. Yeah,
the world become a better place. My purpose ain't to
be on the podcast to talk to you, but.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
I got something to say.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
So guess what if I cite something that some Jews
that they can use, use them, don't give me the gratification.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Give it to my God for giving me the knowledge.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
But if I cite something that you can't use, they
ain't get what my intentions was. Great, I'm just not knowledgeable,
knowledgeable enough. Then I just go back and study a
little bit more. I feel like it's too many niggas
that got the knowledge and got the ship that niggas
can use, but they not vocal enough. Well that's not
true either, because if we get vocal. You got to

(07:29):
be vocal with people that willing to listen. But you
can't find your tribe if you ain't, if you ain't
stepping out doing this like I like, I've been giving
this ship to my niggas forever, the ship that I'm
giving to the people.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
Now, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
That's why I bring niggas on who I respect their
opinions and their perspective. So what I'm doing is I
created a platform for to bring niggas like you to
give it to niggas because because you don'e gave it
to me right right right on the side. It's like, bro,
you got to get this ship to the world, no problem.
So many niggas that got it, but don't give it

(08:03):
in the way that I think they should. You know
why they're not willing to die bout it. When you
give this the ship that you know, the ship that
I may know, you got to be willing to die
by it. Fact, all the greats died by it. So
if you consider yourself great and you know more, you
held more accountable and when you spill it, you got

(08:27):
to keep spilling it.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
Bro. In fact, you.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Understand what I'm saying, no matter where to take you,
sometime it land you behind balls. Sometime you might get shot,
sometime you might get beat. But if you know that,
then you got to keep going all the grapes. Something
went through it, bro, So if you consider yourself great,
you're gonna go through it too. Because the believer would
be tested on a daily basis. He don't never get

(08:49):
stopped being tested. That's a part of your testimony. I
agree with that. That's a part of your testimony right now.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Every day you're gonna be tested.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
I laugh at that shit. No, No, it's a giggle,
thank you God. Yeah, it's a giggle. Yeah, because I
feel like, you know, Nigga made so many promises to
yourself and to God that I feel like those promises.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Get tested every day, Like do you really have faith? Nigga?

Speaker 2 (09:12):
Do you really believe the shit you've been telling me?
So I'm gonna send this shit that you an't see.
I'm gonna tell you how I programmed myself since I
was thirteen years old.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
I entered the just say, the trade market jumped down
the port.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yeah at sixteen, yeah right, family had it right.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
So I always did this from sixteen to where I'm
at the current.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
I always started off on the right foot, so I
put my shoe on the right foot first, put my
sleeves on the right foot, put my leg on the
right foot. If I just unconsciously do it with my
left foot first, I start all over again. You know why,
because I remind myself throughout the course of the day,
I want to do right. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
If I start right, I don't worry about what happened
in between.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
That means whatever happened throughout the course of the day,
I started off right.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
Yeah. So whenever, whenever a judgment they hit.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
Yeah, God, you know I started all right. You know
I would live it right. I just strayed. Yeah, but
I started right. That's the key. You got to start right.
You can't wake up already starting wrong and be mad.
You got to start right. So I remind myself right
foot everything first, right leg, right leg everything unconscious unconsciously,

(10:35):
if I do it quickly and knowingly, I do it
left first.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
I script myself, you got to do right. I want
to do right. I want to do that. I want
to do right.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
And guess what, it's still it's still a former manifestation
to them, even though something small as that, like you
all right, and I'm just saying it could be considered small,
but that's huge.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
Like that's starting your off right.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Like you said, listen, if you start off right, there's
no way you can go wrong. Yeah, because you started
off right. Because ain't no right way to do the
wrong thing. You know you're about to go out there
and do something wrong at the wrong I ain't no
right way to do the wrong thing. I don't know
abouty Hey, man, let me tell you something if ian,
let me just explain it.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
There's no right way to do the wrong thing.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
So if you go write a check and you get
caught for that, motherfucker, there's no right way to write
that check again. You know, people in the penitentsius like
when I get back out, man, I'm gonna transport this
jo a different way. They gonna catch on to that too,
because it ain't right. What's right is right, what's wrong
is wrong. Dog, there's no right way to do the

(11:45):
wrong thing. Give me a perspective with the k not
to see on how you could do something wrong and
make it right. Shit Cracker Ben did add wrong for
a year, but they don't make that shit right.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
It ain't still ain't right.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
They just ain't got punished for it because they making it.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
They're doing it within themselves. Their cousin own the bank.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
They aren't the doctors, the cousin brothers, the lawyer.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
Because you know what they do in those communities.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
You say, under the eyes of God, it ain't gonna
And they can't do wrong the right way, even in
man law. There's no you can't do it. They just
do it because they are part of it.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
It ain't right. We can do the same thing they
do and get punished.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
How many time men, you could go to court with
that same other colored person and.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
We do the same crime, same record and everything.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
We get fire here, they give fire your probation, We
go up the road, they go home. It just they
tell you it's superiority, bro. They tell you we're supreme.
I'm laying you know. I'm not hiding that I'm supreme.
It's called supremacy. I'm laying you know that I'm supreme.

(12:59):
Even the worst white person in jail think that he's
better than the richest black person in jail.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
If you could be rich in jail.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
They feel like they're supreme, bro. Where you think they
come from.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
Can I be.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Honest with you, sir, I think for the world to
Chain bro he for generations got to pass way back
because they still up under them same laws. Look breaking
down what I mean by that. They great great great
great granddaddy got to pass off. If you still living
that one that's eighty They still up under his laws, ain't.

(13:36):
The kids ain't making the laws. They're still going by
what great great great great granddaddy under.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Stilled you smiling to white Holk. Yes.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
Yeah, So when that that's when Chain's gonna come. Because
why is a judge still on the bench at ninety
years old, still sentencing you the way when he first
got into college, went to college and got on the
bench at nineteen. But they gonna sh did that same
shit in the next nigga. If be passing out, it's
still gonna be passed down.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
No not.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
If one of them kids understand that this is wrong,
you got to see, can I just give your insight?

Speaker 1 (14:11):
Right? This is just my theory. Right. They always teach
us about them.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
In their books, their schools, their upbringing, but they never
want to learn about us.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
Man.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
We are beautiful, man, We are really a spiritual people.
They turn us to animals. If they teach, if they're
willing to learn us and not just a handful of us,
were beautiful, it'd be beautiful. I think they know it, they
just afraid for to recognize it. I think they ain't learning.
I think they know us. They just afraid to acknowledge

(14:53):
that they know us because that make us superior. And
it make them weak. Yes, this makes their fa as
a whole. There's an aggregate week. It makes them weak
and they never want to feel weak. And I think
that's the perspective. Bro, Damn, that's the perspective. I think
that's the perspective. So how do we shift that? How

(15:17):
would you shift that? You can't shift it because you
know why. You can't shift it because you can't tell
them a president that's living in the White House know
what's going on on, Martin Luther King. But everything that
we do wrong, it's a law about it. Loud music
can't part of this, can't part of late them. People
don't do that amongst the area we do. You understand

(15:42):
what I'm saying. So how can it change? It was
already changing when it was changing. You understand what I'm saying. Yeah,
back in the day was already changing when it was
back in the day. And it's just what it comes to.
Like I say, you got to get closer to what
you believe in the things that make you happy and

(16:03):
stretch his life out and see what. Just just watch
the beauty of it, because it would never benefit you. You
just gonna get the ass into that weed. You ain't
never gonna get the whole crop. You just gonna get
a little smoke out of it. You ain't gonna never
get the bag. They ain't gonna show you enough to
get the bag. You get what I'm saying. They'll never

(16:26):
teach you enough to defeat them. They'll teach you enough
to continuously.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
To work for them.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
While just telling Jones, So, so okay, you are religious
of your spiritual?

Speaker 1 (16:38):
Which one you say you in?

Speaker 2 (16:41):
I'm spiritual, bro, Yeah, because I feel some some some
stuff within.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
Me that man, I can't believe it happened facts I've
seen it. I felt it. When I played basketball.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
I couldn't miss a shot, but on this particular day,
but regularly I may miss a you shot, But this
particular day, it's like I'm in a zen, bro, Like
I'm in a whole nother world, like I see everything
is beauty, like.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
I couldn't miss.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
Conversation was on point, walker was on point. Everything was
on point. And we as spiritual people, we get that
every now and then. It don't come often, but we
get it, and boy, it's a great feeling, bro, It's
a great feeling. So I say spiritual for the fact
that religion comes from the word region and regions spread

(17:33):
from a massive distance.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
You understand what I'm saying. So my thing is, I think.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
I'm more spiritual than religious because I don't want to
be wrong.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
But I know that as a guard. I know that
as a guard, but I don't want to be wrong.
Because you can't tell me all these different.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
Religions that my religion's got to be right and yours
got to be wrong. So boot to wrong, Hinduism wrong,
Judaism wrong, he is I'm wrong. It's I'm wrong, Baptists wrong,
christian wrong. So you mean to tell me because I
don't believe in what you believe in, that you're wrong.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
That's the division. Yep, I just said that. That's the division.
You can't tell me it's wrong.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
So why do you think? Like the books was created?
Like the Bible, and that was created, created to be
manipulative for you to obey me because you can't tell
me a three dollars mirror, I'm gonna have the worst
luck for the next seven years of my life if
that mirror will break. It's just a damn mirror. So

(18:39):
I don't believe. It's superstitious, superstitious. So you're saying basically
the Bible just like that now, Santa Claus, and it's superficial.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
Bro, it's superficial. That's just my belief.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
It's some good reading there, it's some good reading before
they loss of power was healing. Yeah, it's some good
reason that resonates to where you understand it's some great read.
But something even in the Bible, how could this possibly
be true?

Speaker 1 (19:14):
How could it humanly be true? Yeah? Why they happen again? Duh?

Speaker 2 (19:21):
Why having it happened again? And if we if we're living,
if we're living biblically, then why they treat us so bad?
So they was treating us bad? Then ain't nothing change
if we live in biblically, So nothing hath changed?

Speaker 1 (19:40):
Damn it versing the same coin to grow was three cent,
now that shit seventeen.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
Aggs was forty five cent, now it's five dollars the
same ad what's the different?

Speaker 1 (19:57):
You ain't growing it? No different what you're using more water?

Speaker 2 (20:01):
They fucking it up, basically, They ad shit too it
make it grow faster, exactly to give you headaches, to
get you on out of here, so they can get
that blackness at you. They want that militant. They want
that shit you got inside you. What this's a billion
were walking in with a billion dollars on us? Man,
that's a billion dollar buy the homet that people just

pistol in the black boy hand to go knock off
this other black boy that ain't no auga donus so
they can split him in hand and put that shit
on the shelf for their nephew.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
Come on, man, why you're thinking so many murders?

Speaker 2 (20:39):
Why you think they keep making these black boy mad
with his music so they can cut you open. Put
your heart to the side, put your liver to the side,
Put that shit to the side for somebody who needed. Damn,
how you think NFL player will come back so fast?
That little boy died at eighteen years old in a
car accident. They took a knee out, put it in

(21:00):
another joker, so you can go out there and run fast.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
This is what you don't know. That's why so much
killing man for real, for real? You think people just

Open man business. It's a business man. You're a billionaire.
You just ain't got it until your dad. They gonna
get all that up about you.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
Everything is worth something, man.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
Let me tell you something. We cold man, We just
don't act as such. Where you think the shit went wrong?
Get for us though, like when where it started? What
generation is started in.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
When they made it that we could be friends with.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
Them, When they made it what we can be friends
with them? Like Mother's kingdom days and shit, when they
made it where we can be friends. Really, I rather
struggle with my brother. Just didn't get fucked by you.
I rather struggle with you. You get fucked by them
when when we became friends integrate. I think it should

have stayed segregated. Bro y'all got y'all, we got all

this China town that's up theren beautiful, beautiful. That's what

(22:30):
all the miss is that the black and the whites
the only one live together.

They cater to everybody but us.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
Bro, Why the hell we ain't got no chicken house,
the little buffalo wing places in our community. Chinese people
got buffalo wing places in all community. You don't think

They want to hook up. Not the hookup. Our price
of skyrocket.

It's three thousand dollars apart, seven thousand dollars to walk.

Speaker 1 (23:18):

environment and watch somebody suffer more than they already suffering

My time ain't gonna change. I'm better off isolated anyway.
I'm better off isolated. I'm better off segregated. You know
what I'm saying, That's just how I operate. I think
I'm mentally prepared. I think I think I'm clever enough
to understand how to walk through this.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
You get what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
What you think like when you look at when you
look at yourself in the mirror, what you think makes
you special over everybody? You know what makes me special
over everybody? I can don't have to prove myself to
the world. The world got to prove theyself to me.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
Facts.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
You my man, you big shot. But it ain't a
pleasure for me to meet you. It's a pleasure for
you to meet me. That's how I look at me.
I'm the elephant in the room. Yeah, And to get
to where you need to be, you got to come
through me.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
I don't have to come through you. That's how I
look at me.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
I got to live with my deficiency every single day
of my life. What's your deficiency? Life? I think that
I know something that I might not know. I've been
shot six times, I got a scar, I ain't bowl legged,
hazel brown eyes six eight. Every woman loved me, So

(29:51):
I got to deal with the women that don't like
me like I got to deal with the women that
like me. I won't hush, you don't want me, I
got to deal with that.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
That's a deficiency, man, that's a deficiency.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
How do you deal with people that don't deal with you?
You don't. If you do, they got more control over
you than you do. Correct If you do, then I'm
not who I think I am. Without looking at mirror
beauseant me no, because you know what's gonna happen. I

(30:30):
align myself up with positivity, and when I become more
positive and a lot of positivity. We could talk like
this on this platform. But a negative plus a positive
equal negative. But me and you positive plus positive, man,
the rug gonna love it.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
They gonna eat it.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
Alive because they know that it's coming from here and
not some concept this improv because just two people talking,
there's two men, masculine men, getting down to the get down.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
Picking up with each other, putting down.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
Hey man, he feeding off each other because we've not
been through that struggle, and we could pick up because
we know and we are held accountable for what we know.
If you could change one thing, if God gave you
the power chain one thing in the world, what would
it be. If I had the power to change one
thing in the world, what would it be? I would

(31:23):
want more love, But then the world will be overpopulated
because weinn't nobody die. Everybody die hundred twenty five years old.
So for me, what I would change, I would really
want to change the thought process of us. I want

(31:46):
us to get to know each other better.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
That's it.

They can they can get, they can earn, they sea,
but not crip not blood earn your seat because I
want to sit down and listen. Everybody ain't gonna tell
you everything wrong. Bro, Somebody gonna tell you something right
if you just give them a chance. You can't see
that's the problem. We run from it. We got to

(37:46):
run to it. In fact, we can't continue to run
from it. Because we run from it. This is what
gonna happen. It will run to it and say, man,
I'm willing to risk my life for my kids. You're
not doing it for you no more. You're doing it
for your kid because you know you raise your little
girl right, and that daddy raised his little boy fucked up,

(38:10):
but he come across your little girl.

Speaker 1 (38:12):
So who's gonna be fucked up in a relationship your
little girl.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
Because it's a treatment. It's a very very intriguing lifestyle.

Speaker 1 (38:22):
It's fast paced. It's man, I got shot at man
that nigga didn't hit me, and then it's intriguing and
you could get lured in strange but truth.

Speaker 2 (38:36):
So we got to teach all boy on how to
treat a girl, and we got to teach all girls
how to treat a man. But the way shit has flipped,
is it the same girls that we know of? No,
because the mama's fucked up the day. How can you
treat your how you're gonna treat your your son? How
to take care of a woman that's not the woman

(38:56):
that you're trying to teach him to take care of,
because it's definitely genetic makeup. It's definitely genetic makeup.

Speaker 1 (39:02):
Bro.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
And that's a question that we can't answer. You just
got to do your part. We want this. So do
you put your do you put your what out? If
she like this? If do you hit him with the
if now? Because if it was a feel, we all
be drunk. You get what I'm saying. So at the
end of the day, it's a learning experience like everything else.

(39:26):
And I asked myself, when do you take your hand
off your child, Like, when do you take that grip
off your child and release him to the world. Do
you constantly walk with him when you're doing good? Do
you walk with him when you're doing bad?

Speaker 1 (39:43):
You do? Do you walk with him when you're doing
in between?

Speaker 2 (39:46):
Or do you say, you know what you're prepared for
the world now because of all the riff raff we
don't put you through. I thank you man enough to
walk along. When do release the hands? When do we
release the hands? Because sometimes we can hold the hands
a little too long. Sometime we can release it too quick.

(40:10):
You get what I'm saying. It will release it too quick.
That's what's going on out there in the world right now.
If we hold it too long, it's another titlement. Yeah,
you know, creating entitlement. I think I think what it
is is we gotta.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
Let them let it go. We won't release we let
them let it go.

Speaker 2 (40:28):
By that saying saying that, by me saying that, is
like he gonna let it go when you ready, or
she gonna let it go when she read it. It's like,
regardless of what we think, regardless of what we think,
that's creative.

Speaker 1 (40:41):
That's a good way of thinking it. That's a good
well thinking because we never really truly released. We never
truly released, you.

Speaker 2 (40:48):
Know what I'm saying. So we just have to let
them let it go and trust and pray that we
did all y'all. Yeah, facts perspective. We decay not to
see that perspective. You know, That's what I think. Like,
you know what I'm saying. But I tell them, so,
do we hold our girls hand a little long than

(41:08):
our boys? Do we feel like we got the best mother?
Or do we feel like we got the best father?
I got grand dollars in now. So it's like I'm
gonna hold their hand forever. I ain't letting them let
it go. I understand, but didn't. Guess what if you
hold it forever, they can't learn on their own. If

(41:28):
you hold it forever, they're only going with what you're
teaching them.

Speaker 1 (41:31):
They ain't experiencing it. Nothing.

Speaker 2 (41:36):
Private school behind it. Oh there you go. Watch differ
between private school and public school. Public school. You're gonna
learn a lot about life. YEA private school, you're not. Yeah,
you just gonna be smart. Yeah, do you get the
best of both worlds?

Speaker 1 (41:52):
You're right about that, You're right about that.

Speaker 2 (41:54):
That's the same scenario if you holding the hand too
long or walk behind them, make sense.

Speaker 1 (42:01):
I'm gonna guide you. I'm gonna give you my perspective
with here and there.

Speaker 2 (42:06):
Yeah, I'm gonna give it to you. That's what the
devil do. That's what I say, Time do. He's a whisperer.
That's what God do. He's a whisperer. You know that
ain't right. He's right, You know it ain't right. So
you so inside us we contain the poison and the

(42:27):
cure right inside of us.

Speaker 1 (42:30):
It's like a fly. We contain the poison and the cure.

Speaker 2 (42:32):
Either we're gonna let the poison override us, or we're
gonna let the cure in our minds deteriorate the paison
so that we can become a better person.

Speaker 1 (42:43):
So what's some of the ship you do?

Speaker 2 (42:44):
Just to maintain your your peace, peace, and not tell
people the pieces, and not tell myself the pieces, knowing
that life gone life, knowing that I may not be
able to pay a bill, knowing that I may be
able to pay a bill, knowing that shit gonna happen,

(43:08):
that you can't stop, and just keep pressing, keep your
foot on their neck as the young people say, don't
give up. Train your intellect, learn, study, Listen. That's it, bro,
I agree, that's it. It ain't so guess what life

(43:30):
is about simplicity? We make it hard. You know why
you became a vegan. It because you like the seasoning
on your potatoes that made you big and made you unhealthy.
The potato was already pure. It was already pure. Eat
the potato in its purest form and not what you like. See,

(43:53):
we always deal with shit that we like and not
things in this piers form. Well, you gotta think about
this like anything, because I be on herbs and shit
now too. Everything is good for you taste cash, it's terrible.

Speaker 1 (44:07):

horrible for it's horrible because get what, it's just like friends.
If you got one friend, you add twenty other friends. Bro,
that's a bad connection. You just put everybody in your business.
The food that's good for you tastes like shit, and

(44:30):
the ship that you like you love it. You're't supposed
to eat for taste. You supposed eat for nourishing.

Speaker 1 (44:34):
That there you go, Yeah, you eat to live, not

(47:25):
how you like? We were having an off camera conversation,
and I think a man should have a tribe, bro
I do. I think a woman should be a nervousher.
But the woman don't be your peace. All women not
your peace. They tell you to pieces and they get
documentations for what you done, built to get half for

(47:47):
your state because of something that bleeds for five days
and don't die, or high to twelve and bone and
produce a bouncing baby boy.

Speaker 1 (47:56):
You get what I'm saying. So now it becomes mental
breaking down there. Say they don't get it.

Speaker 2 (48:01):
Okay, listen, that vagina bleed for five days and she
don't die. It'll produce a bouncing baby boy with a
big old head and all that come out of that
giant at a hide of twelve head bone. That means
you can stick something up in it and won't never

(48:21):
be found. You get what I'm saying. That's a powerful situation, Bro.
I'd rather be I'd rather deal with something I can
pop than make her my up. I don't want no
Op as a woman.

Speaker 1 (48:35):
She gonna bring you down. Break it down Op as
a woman. Bro.

Speaker 2 (48:40):
If that woman stopped liking you, she gonna turn your
whole world around. She gonna bust out your car warners,
she gonna be at the parties that you're attend. She
gonna be showing up at your doorstep unintended. You get
what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (48:52):
She gonna go to flying off in a mouth. Oh
my god, you dirty store.

Speaker 2 (48:56):
You get what I'm saying. If she messed with you,
she gonna respect you, bro. And once she got your respect,
that ain't gonna never go nowhere. That respect, the respect
would never go nowhere.

Speaker 1 (49:08):
Bro. With how you think you gained oneman respect, it's
in her, bro. You do what you I can't even say,
you do what you're supposed to do. It's in her, Bro.

Speaker 2 (49:21):
She look at you a different way she look at
anybody else. And once she say I respect you, you
got to take heed to that. Now it's on a
whole nother level because it might not even be sexual.
You might just become best partners outside of sexuality, outside
of the sex. Y'all ain't even have a sex no more.
You get what I'm saying. But she respects you. That

(49:44):
means she can call on you and you can call
on her. Facts you need that. That's why you don't
want no op. You want something you can pop. Yeah,
you don't want no op at no female boy?

Speaker 1 (49:55):
So you ain't never like got schlick tender for now
this like I think, I think I'm gonna hit it.

Speaker 2 (50:03):
Who man, I went there get hurt because yeah, what
like I said, if I get hurt over female, bro,
then I ain't who I am.

Speaker 1 (50:13):
I ain't never been hurt. What makes you feel like
he's been hurt?

Speaker 2 (50:17):
No, I ain't never been hurt, bro, because I believe
in me. I'm the only thing that can hurt me.
Because you stop giving me that woom wow, how can
that hurt me? It become mental?

Speaker 1 (50:32):
So now only well man could.

Speaker 2 (50:34):
Be hurt if he's thinking about what y'all used to do.
Is he doing it with somebody else?

Speaker 1 (50:40):
Bank?

Speaker 2 (50:40):
If you tell me right now, if your female assistant say, look, hen.

Speaker 1 (50:46):
I don't want to deal with you no more, I'm
fine with that.

Speaker 2 (50:51):
Because I understand we could create and recreate all perfect girl.

Speaker 1 (50:56):
So she tell me that. I respect that. Don't come
back and say you could do help me again, because
I believe in your word. Yeah, you understand what I'm saying.
I believe in your word.

Speaker 2 (51:06):
That's another thing. I'm glad you said that, Like should
you believe in a woman word? Because they always come
out with like I just said it because I was
just mad.

Speaker 1 (51:14):
You can't.

Speaker 2 (51:14):
I ain't never been drunk, I ain't never been high,
I ain't never been intoxicated. So what you say out
your mouth, I believe you can't play with me like
that because I ain't gonna play with you like that.
So we got that respect and that camaraderie. We're not
playing with each other on that left. Yeah, you can't
tell me you went to had sex with this boy,

(51:35):
because I believe you. You can't say I was just
trying to make you jealous. Well, you definitely ain't gonna
make me jealous. But when you said that, I believe you.
Fact you get what I'm saying. That's how I feel
about it. Yeah, sure, no, no, that that's really shit.
Sure so so you feel like words, some words are unforgivable.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
Yes, for sure.

Speaker 2 (51:59):
Why would you put everything ain't on God and you
think God gonna forgive you? I ain't still your watch, nigga?
You got my watch on now on God?

Speaker 1 (52:10):
I ain't get this. Oh God, I ain't get this.
You got it on your You got my watch on
your wrist. This ain't on God. This ain't that My
initiche is in the middle of it. Bro, on God,
what come on? Man? That's unforgivable. That's unforgivable. Do you

(52:31):
believe in energy At the first time you meet a
person like I don't fuck with that person like this? Sure? Yeah? Absolutely?
And how you hunder that you stay away from it? Yeah?
You don't gravitate towards bad energy. What if you just
having a bad day? How and you read it wrong? No, bro,

(52:51):
your mind on your first impression is your last impression.
You can't read it wrong.

Speaker 2 (52:56):
Bro. If you read it wrong, it's just like artistry.
Somebody could have signed future first. They read it wrong.
Now he's a mega star. That's what they got to
live with. If I read it wrong, I got to
live with it. But it works for me.

Speaker 1 (53:17):
Reading it wrong worked for me me too. I'm good
with that. I can live with that.

Speaker 2 (53:22):
Yeah, I could live with saying damn, I read that wrong. Yeah,
firsus me saying damn, I thought I were right.

Speaker 1 (53:31):
I thought I was right. Yeah, And that's what happened
to me going to the penitentiary. What you mean a
bad read? I vowed not to do it again. A
bad read. Would somebody get too close to you?

Speaker 2 (53:46):
That shouldn't be woman, man child, Don't let him get
too close to you if you don't want him close
to you.

Speaker 1 (53:55):
In fact, that's it. So is that world alone? Lido?

Speaker 2 (53:58):
How less?

Speaker 1 (54:00):
How could it be lonely? It's eight billion people in
the world. Facts.

Speaker 2 (54:05):
I always say that, brother, it's like you you inside
my brain forty nine I forget all the people I
know right now, just everybody, Like I just lose my
memory of all the people I know.

Speaker 1 (54:14):
You know how many people I can meet? It's eight
billion people in the world.

Speaker 2 (54:18):
Forty nine point two makeup women, fifty point eight makeup men?
What the fuck make me think one person is way
more special than what I can meet in the world.
Out of eight billion people, you felt like you found
that one out of a thousand men, I found one.

Speaker 1 (54:41):
Out of a thousand women, I found none. I believe
in my guard and my guard alone. That's all I need.
Dig that. That's the word.

Speaker 2 (54:49):
With a word, come on with it, I'm gonna say, well,
you know how it go. I'm gonna say a word.
Say first word, come to your mind, growth, development, healing, prosperity, rebound, catch, second,

(55:10):
chances needed, revenge, congregate, generosity, courage, debt, pay allowances, more

(55:32):
and more, investment, property, power, respect, suspicious, don't believe, possessiveness,
willingly control, mindful, forgiveness, obtain exposure, exposure, love, character, hate, representation, unforgiving, forgive.

Speaker 1 (56:11):
Perspective, God walk with that which one stuck at. Hate.
Why hate?

Speaker 2 (56:22):
There's a very unfruitful word. I like to use despise
because if I hate you, I kill you. If I
despise you, we got an opportunity to rejutigated matter. Do
you understand what I'm saying? We can talk and the
one stood out to me most was the love. And

(56:42):
I say character because it takes character to tell a
grown man I love you, bro. It takes character to
tell a woman I love you, ma'am. It takes character.
You got to be a It got to be a
representation of self. If you could sit up here and
tell a person that did you wrong, I love you,

(57:04):
that's character.

Speaker 1 (57:06):
That's character. That's what stood out to me the most.
I funk with that. You got to have character, bro,
Noah for sure.

Speaker 2 (57:14):
So so we were talking earlier, we discovered that God
judges what.

Speaker 1 (57:19):
Your heart and your character.

Speaker 2 (57:21):
God judges your intentions and your heart because your attentions
ain't got to be maliced. Your intentions can be like
your intentions your wife bank go to the supermarket and
pick up grocery before they close. Your intentions was great.
You was on the way to pick up the groceries
from the market. What you had another phone call that

(57:44):
di stracted you. But your intentions were good. So God
judges your intentions. Yeah, she could get upset with God.

Speaker 1 (57:51):
No aim that you ain't did no messed on stuff.
You went and picked up another thousand dollars that have
got owe you that she gonna take part in. Yeah,
so your tentions was great.

Speaker 2 (58:02):
She gonna take part of this ship, might get the
whole thousand just to shut her mouth because she drove
you crazy about.

Speaker 1 (58:08):
Cooking you supple. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you see what I'm saying.
You know, he goes nine eighty, man, leave me with
twenty dollars. Yeah, we're finna go get some food. I
can get some food. And you get this. Yeah yeah,
because your intentions was great.

Speaker 2 (58:19):
So God judges your heart and your intentions because your
intentions are great. Your intentions was not Mallice. You was
on the way to the supermarket. You get what I'm saying.
Do you think that comes even when you do some
bullshit like just save inctent? If a nigga played with you,
you ain't really want to do it, but you're handling
your business. Do you think your your intention could be

(58:42):
he don't want to talk. If he came to harm you,
you got all the right to harm him back. So
your intentions got to be able to shift because God
know what you had to do. Because get what it's
this good and evil.

Speaker 1 (58:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (58:58):
Guard is within you, evil is within them, and every
single day of our life we fight evilness. Regardless of
what your intentions were. You got to say you because
you're godly and you got to continue to spread that word.
So you got to defeat evil. What if you took
some money from a nigga. You take some money and
intending to feed your family is their bad intentions? Very

(59:20):
bad intentions. Yeah, because you ain't have to take nobody
to feed your family. You could have got a job
at McDonald you're and your girl McDonald's pay y'all twelve
thousand dollars a year. That twenty four thousand. You can
get your little jitter and you can feed them from
the McDonald franchise. Like, these are things that don't have
to be done. Bro. Yeah, you don't have to take

(59:41):
nobody else's possession for the benefit of you.

Speaker 1 (59:45):
You don't have to, but niggas do.

Speaker 2 (59:47):
Niggas do, And what's worse than being around one nigga
being around two is shit, that's it. Yeah, you don't
have to, but they do. But you got to be
mindful of of what they're going through. You got a
nice crib, you got a family, you got a beautiful car.
You talk your shit. They're not able to do that,

(01:00:10):
and even if they get the money to do it,
they still don't know enough to talk they shit, they
still don't understand it.

Speaker 1 (01:00:17):
That's why I be gone so fast.

Speaker 2 (01:00:19):
What you think do you think everybody's chosen to do something?

Speaker 1 (01:00:23):
Well? Some people just does.

Speaker 2 (01:00:30):
God Lee, that's good because for the simple fact that
I'm looking at life as if we're kings.

Speaker 1 (01:00:37):
We got all queen and everything surround that.

Speaker 2 (01:00:41):
Right, you got to have peons, you got to have runners,
You got to have people that just don't understand. Like,
it's just the wear of life, bro, It's just the
way of life. So if you don't know, you just
don't know. So you're said, everybody ain't.

Speaker 1 (01:00:59):
Supposed to be great? How how you can't get he
Let me tell you something what to read is right?

Speaker 2 (01:01:08):
You can't give some of these artists eighty million dollars
with a third grade education and think that he could
be great. How what do he know other than experience
that he note got from you guys and the spirit
that he done got from the street.

Speaker 1 (01:01:26):
He's not educated. He just got eighty million dollars. How
can he be great?

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
M he's gonna spend it, give it away, or get
it took it from him. I know you got a
third grade education. You need to buy this million one
hundred million dollar building. The people who's selling it is
the one that getting the money. They don't understand that,

(01:01:54):
So how could he really be great. We're gonna finest
you out of your royalties, We're gonna finett you out
your catalog. We know you're gonna be broke. We know
your kids kid is gonna be broke. So guess what
all that money gonna come back to me?

Speaker 1 (01:02:12):
Anyway?

Speaker 2 (01:02:13):
Why you think that they designed it for niggas to
be fucked up?

Speaker 1 (01:02:18):
Like?

Speaker 2 (01:02:18):
Why you think that white like what you think made
them do that we're superior. You got to realize this.
A white man can only have a white baby, But
a black man can have any colored baby. He can
possibly imagine. He can have a out buying no baby.
He can have a dog skinned baby with green eyes.

(01:02:39):
He can have a yellow baby. That's powerful, man. And
whatever you mix us with it, come make out with
some black and it. Come on, man, that's powerful. A
white male and a white female can only have a
white baby. They baby ain't gonna never come out dog,
it ain't gonna never come out black, gonna never come

(01:03:00):
out brown. But guess what a black man and a
white woman can have a brown baby, a black man
and a black woman can buy no baby with green eyes.

Speaker 1 (01:03:12):
That's a white baby. That's powerful. And they don't want
us to have that powerful. They don't want us to
be that powerful.

Speaker 2 (01:03:20):
So when you think we're gonna rise back to the
top to be the kings that were supposed to be,
how we're not controlled. We're not acting as if we're kings.
Were acting as if we pe hons. Let me tell
you something. If I accept your money, I accept your guidance.

(01:03:40):
That means if you give me ten dollars, say can
go to the stoff and me get me two sneaker
ball in the bag of chill, I bring you one
sneaker ball and no children, get your drink. You gonna
send me back or you gonna say, man, you know
what I'm done with you?

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
