relation with Bouyard Tribe. And for people who don't know,
Boyd Tribe is a fucking legendary Samoan rap group out

Speaker 1 (01:19):
To be honest, right right, So yeah, the bout Yard
that's my family. My dad, Oh yeah, my dad don't see. Yeah,
so my pops he that's Cobra, Yes, yeah, so Cobra,
that's his brothers. You know, there's all my uncle. So
that you know, that's how I'm tied in. So well yeah, basically, uh,
you know, picking up the torch right now, trying to
run with the type shit. You know.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I was gonna say, is there anything like because they
had a lot of independent success. I mean they had records.
I mean I remember the last album I think I
bought it. There was that album that had m is
it eminem and trick trick.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
On the song.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I think that was eminem and be real, be real.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
But yeah, I mean they have like like a lot
of like independent success throughout the nineties and the early
two thousands and shit like was it always kind of
like in the cards for you to try to like
get into the music game, like.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Nah, like, uh I I didn't think. I didn't think
I was ever gonna be rapping, so I just kind
of like, uh like i'm I'm, I'm, I'm barely in
the game type shit with this, like you know, as
far as uh my rap career probably like going on
three years right now. So uh, I never took I
never I never even visualized me being a rappers, like
(02:30):
you know, that was my possilim thing. And uh, you know,
uh I used to have flows, I used to have
rhymes like you know, I used to write some shit down.
I used to spit it, but I never took a
series until you know, one day I went and laid
that ship down in the booth and then uh yeah,
that's when you know, it was kind of like a
uh it was kind of like an ongoing joke with
me and my homies, like I'll be spitting the same
(02:51):
verse like three four times around them type shit, you know,
and they're like, man, oh, here comes d Boy again
with the same old ship, you know, like and then
I laid it down and it was just kind of
like oh damn, you know, like it ain't funny no more.
It's kind of like, oh damn, he's hard. So then
that's where I kind of took it and I'm just like,
you know, fuck it. Like if I'm gonna wrap and
I'm gonna take, I'm gonna make something out of it.
(03:11):
Then uh yeah, you know I'm gonna carry the legacy
for you know, for me and Min.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
I'm gonna say, like, uh, prior to you taking like
like taking rap serious pretty much in the streets.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Oh yeah, your thing. Yeah. So you know my posting
them they bang we I'm from the same hood as
they am, so I basically picked up them traits before
I picked up the rap traits.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Right, so you followed them footsteps.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
The wrongs footsteps, you know. So it's I kind of
went down to down the banging path and you know,
it was just it was just to the point where
you know, it's just kind of like, man, I didn't
give a fuck about nothing. It was just like, man,
I'm from the Bang. I'm ready to I'm ready to
do life for this ship type ship. You know, I'm
about to crash out over over banging and then uh,
(03:58):
you know, it's just kind of like damn, I fell
into the music just like damn. Now yeah, cause it's
kind of like that Shiit say. It kind of saved
my life and my perspective on things. So it was just.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Almost like you got you got a reason not to
crash out.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah, and then it's just like to to this point now,
like where I'm at now, it's kind of like it's
just like, uh, you know, I kind of got a
purpose now, so it's more of on like a, uh,
I got something to lose, rather than being going from
fucking like I don't give a fuck what I lose
type shit, you know what I mean. So that's the
(04:37):
kind of path that I was going on. Like you
can ask my family, my homies whatever, like they know
like I was. That's I was with the business, you
know what I'm saying, and me being rapping and me
getting all this feedback from woop the whooping, you know,
and just seeing the things that I'm capable of is
what kind of just like wow, you know what I'm saying.
(04:57):
That kind of just changed my perspective on Shiit Like man,
you know what, like you know it's big. It's a
bigger picture than what I'm normally used to, you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Yeah, I feel like that's that's almost like, uh, I
feel like when you're in that that that that environment
unless you maybe have a kid or you know, I.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Know you're you're you're fresher fatherhood.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Right well, ship my baby do any day now?
Speaker 3 (05:22):
So you got a baby coming anytime?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Yeah, the do day was a Friday, so she being
stubborn so.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Couldn't funk around to be right now.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
It could be right now, And I got an ad kay,
I got a bounce man. So now.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
But I'm saying, like, you know, obviously that's something else,
another purpose that you have now. But I think that's
another thing like when you when you're in a certain environment,
like you kind of feel like you know, there is
no there's no bigger picture. Like you said, it's about perspective,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
It's like yeah, so it's like, uh, all right, now
I got a kid. My music is going good. Like
from where I was at mentally six years ago or
even in the getting like it's I feel like it's
been a whole three sixty flip on me right, because shiit,
I just man, you know, I just feel like I
(06:08):
was like a minister society type shit, you know, like
just just like I wouldn't say it like that, but
just and I'm not trying to label myself like just
on something like damn, I just I just didn't give
a fuck, you know, like cares like you know what
I'm saying, Like this.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Almost like living life with no consequences. Yeah, it's like
you know, because if you don't care about the consequences,
then you you're really like.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yeah, yeah, but you know that that comes with a
lot of pain to the people that do care, you
know what I'm saying. So it's just like, you know,
along the way, I know my family they probably watched
this shit, and I know they gonna they more happy
for me now because they kind of see what type
of path that I'm going on and where I come from.
You know, there were a lot of a lot of
(06:48):
people that you know, my family or whatever, they were
scared about I was going, you know what I'm saying,
And I feel like if I never picked up the
music type shit, hey, you know, it probably would have
went that way.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Did You're family, your dad, your uncles. Did anybody try
to steer you out of the.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Oh, everybody my hanging, Like, none of them wanted that
from me, My family, even my family that's from the hood, right,
they was like my big cousins or you know, everybody
else from there, or even homies, even homies that aren't
family that watched me grow up. Was like, nah, you
(07:25):
know what I'm saying. But I just took it upon
myself because I already had it and started in my
head like fuck that. Like, you know, I was already
so how would you say it?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Uh, maybe not institutionalized, but not institution But I was
so programmed, Yeah, like I was so and then I
was so intrigued with with the lifestyle you know what
I'm saying, and how they moved. Like my older homies
from my generation, they were like all stars to me.
So it was just like damn, I want to be
like them. I'm fucking like, this is the life. I'm
from the choos, right you know. So But to get
(07:57):
back to what you're saying, like, yeah, nobody wanted that
from me. Yeah, you know, I'm older now looking back,
and I understand.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Now why it is. That's why they you know, try
to preach that to me.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Do you have any other siblings?
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Did they kind of follow similarly?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Or nah?
Speaker 3 (08:15):
No, Nah, you're like the black sheep.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Yeah, the black sheep. Like you know, my I got
my little brother, my little sister. You know they they did,
they doing good, you know what I'm saying. But me,
I want a whole different route, right.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Was there anything like, uh, while you're you know, going
crazy in the streets that like where you were kind
of like to the point where like you might have
lost your freedom for real, or there was like a
situation where things got a little hairy where you almost
maybe lost your life. I mean maybe multiple times, I'm sure,
but you know, was there ever like a wake up
call like situation like that?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
There was a there was a lot of times. Yeah,
there's a lot of times some things I'm not going
to speak on, like a lot of situations, a lot
of you know, a lot of drama, right that would
usually make somebody think like that, But during that time,
I'm so into the banging that it's just like, hey,
it is what it is, this is what comes with it.
(09:08):
So it's like I never like fell back like oh
like damn, that's just so crazy, I don't want to.
It was just like I knew what came with this
part of that type of life, you know what I'm saying.
So it was you know, getting shot at fights, phase
hitting the county jail, you name it.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
County jail is everybody says it's like LA County Jail
is the most fucking just wild place to go because
it's like a free frog, right. I feel like, cause
if you end up in prison out here, there's more
of an organized program right as to where in the
county jail, it's.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Like everybody banging in the county jail, right, So it's
like so.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
It's like you might be in a holding cell with
you know, your your fucking ops.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
And you're gonna have to You're gonna have to run that,
you know what I'm saying. So it's more it's I
wanna it's more structured the in the pin to where
its like more rules and right and people kind of
like go together.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Like I was talking to Greco a little bit about this.
He was like, Yo, you might fight, you know, squabble
with somebody in the county jail, but then if you're
end up in the pen with them.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Yeah, when you get to the pen. It's a different
situation because then it's like it goes by, you know,
like numbers, like you know you're gonna ride with who's
riding with you type ship? So yeah, it's different. It's
different over here.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
How did you get the scar in your face?
Speaker 1 (10:31):
There was a lot of events that day that I
wouldn't like to speak up on, you know what I'm saying,
So yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
To say, man, it's it's it's it's a very.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I just know it, just know it was. It was
it was slice, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
It was it was a blade or a razor.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
No, it was glass.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
It was glass. Oh so it was it like a bottle.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Something like that. Okay, yeah, damn.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
But you know what, now that you're a hip hop artist,
that scar looks sick like.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Yeah, yeah, but you know, every but more a lot.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
The more bigger you get, the more people are gonna
have a lot.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Of people are asking them about me about it. But
it was like some things and I don't want I
can't say certain things.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Then an altercation happened.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Altercation happened. That's all last was broken. Yes, that's a
fair point. Okay, so you're related to my guy KT.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Yeah, shout out someone with K t Uso KT the balls.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
You know what I'm saying, My dog in Vegas.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
I love that guy so much, which means you're also
related to the USOS from the w w E.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Yeah. Yeah, I'm tied in with them too.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Shout out to the USOS because I always I feel
like anytime I've ever came in contact with the Simoonan
and Homie on the West Coast, they're all related to
the USOS or to like Roman.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Rings, Yeah something like that. Yeah. I wouldn't say I'm

tied in. You know, you know they they know what's
so you know, and uh, you know, none but love
for them.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
I just say, do you grow up like because in
your like there's so many famous wrestlers that come from
your culture. Do you just grow up automatically fucking with wrestling?
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
You know, I never thought of it like this, think
about it, like you know what, but I would say,
like as someone's for us to see that and like
how much of an engagement that they're getting that that
I would say, like it's something to be proud about. Yeah,
you know what I'm saying, because it's like, uh, someone's
like we're small, such.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
A small minority, such small but at the biggest.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Level, but we're gonna make an impact from football.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
I would say, offensive and defensive lines.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Yeah, football, she wrestling too, and then you know yeah,
and then even with the with the music with the
bou Yard, like uh, when the bou Yard came out
and didn't nobody know what the fuck they was? You
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
I think a lot of people out there in Mexican.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Yeah, so like, uh now, I don't know, maybe that
I should let them talk about it, but I think
they'll cover this with you later type shit. But you know,
during that time, there was no identities for some more facts,
you know what I'm saying. It was like who all right,
some more like who, like what are they? Then you know,

(13:18):
big tatted up. You know what I'm saying, They're like, Okay,
they're the smallst that's them with the long hair. Yeah,
you know what I mean. And it just kind of
like set the tone for everybody.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
I think, even just the thought of like there being
like bloods from la that weren't black.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Yeah, it was like crazy.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
It's almost like when a lot of people when they
first heard of Stupid Young being like a cryp from
Long Beach, You're like, wait, there's Asian.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Crips, Like what is going on?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
But nah shout out to uh to boo ya tribe man.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
So for you, man, like, would you say there was
like a specific moment you said you you know, you
started realizing like, yoh, I'll sound hard when I'm rapping,
But was there like a specific moment in which you
realize like you were catching some traction and that there
might be something that you need to take serious in
this hip hop shit?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I don't like. Uh, I've spoke on this subject a
lot on a lot of past interviews, and sometimes I
want to feel like a broken record, but everybody knew
that's watching. Yeah. One time, my homie he hit me
up and he was like, hey, uh, you know, we
was on some faded ass ship like we was in
the hood, and then we put up to this spot.
(14:24):
He got the whole He got the whole setup in
his garage type shit or in the living room, and
he was like, man, lay you know, lay something down.
And then you know, I laid my first track down.
After that we had put it out. And once we
put it out, just like the kind of response that
I got to, like, you don't know when when you
drop something, if something or.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Not, if it's organic or if it's just your homies
being like.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Yeah, you know what I'm saying, Like, you gonna know
the difference between You're gonna when that feedback comes in,
You're gonna be like, Okay, my ship might be a
little whack or not. No, No, I was getting some
good ass ship and I'm just like, damn, you know,
fucking with it. So I'm just like, man, you know,
let me uh, let me see what I could do
with it.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
And then from there you were like, yo, let's book
some studio time or yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
And after that, because that was like basically a feature
on his ship, and then I went and did my
own track. I flipped that a Connected for Life by
Mac ten fucking classic.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
But yeah, it's called and by the way, that is
one of my favorite beats ever and might be I
know it's not a west Side Connected song, but it's
it's like one of my favorite Westide Connection songs because
they're all on it great record.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Yeah, So I flipped that and I and I called
it respected for life. So then I put it on YouTube.
I'll put it on YouTube. That was my first my
first single ever. And then that's what kind of just
like put me out there, you know what I'm saying.

see someone's being the bus drivers, the people that serving
(20:34):
for sure.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Yeah, I think a lot of people who aren't hip,
like think New Zealand is like a bunch of like
white folks, but it's like a.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Lot like yeah, they got a whole they got they
got a whole different uh you know thing up there.
But you know, and it was all love, Like, uh,
when I'm out here, you know you or even just
not even just out here, just in the States period,
like you no matter where you at, you know there's
like somebody tripping somewhere you feel me, not like that.
But when it was out there, it was kind.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Of like, uh, you let your guard down a little.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
It was like it was love, you know what I'm saying.
Like I'm not saying that they're not tripping out that
they probably is, but where I was at it just
felt like everything felt good, you know what I'm saying.
And they just you know, show nothing but loving respect
to us, and you know it made us feel good.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
That's dope.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Man. Now I was my New Zealand. Anytime you see
pictures in New Zealand, it looks fucking fire.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Yeah. And the food was fucking bomb. Yeah, the food
was bomb.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
For you.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
Uh? Yeah, I dropped the mom I dropped the album

Boys and uh yeah that that was my first body
of Yeah album that I dropped during this year. But
then the homie that was on the thing with me,
(22:04):
we did the whole collab, he kind of went and
caught some time. So it kind of like fucked me up.
I mean not fucked me up, I fucked up project Yeah,
because you know, we gotta do the videos we got
and they got to push the music. And this was
right when we dropped it, you know what I'm saying.
So then it just kind of threw us back. So
you know, since then, I was just you know, trying
to bounce back. I dropped a few singles, so you know,
(22:25):
I just feel like I'm gonna wrap up twenty twenty
four and I'm gonna come through twenty twenty five bangings.
So I got, uh my new album coming in February.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Who you're working with?
Speaker 1 (22:36):

the record with a Cypress.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Right, yeah, with Cypress, so we did we did one
track and then I did two tracks with him, so
we let we put that one out with Cypress and
then I got one more. That's that's a banger.
Speaker 3 (22:59):

vintage like nineties.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Sugar Free Ship.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yeah, yeah, he'd be going. And Doug, I've been seeing too,
like you've been able to do like a lot more
shows and ship.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Like what was it like?
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Like?
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Uh, you know, I saw you with me.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
I just did a show in Fresno and that was
with a game. I was with mac ten and mag Ten,
sugar Free, DJ Quick, uh Magic and them. Man, it
was a it was a different vibe because you know,
shout out to my management, shout out to Heaven. Then
you know what I'm saying from the DKG. You know
that's my manager for for whoever that don't know, have
(23:44):
been learning a lot of it up for me.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
So yeah, legend man.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Yeah, So you know that was my first arena. That
was my first arena performance.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
What was that like though? Because you guys went on early,
so you got to kind of get that.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
But it was crazy because by the time I got
on stage, it was already packed. Was yeah, so it
was kind of like after me, it was RBL posse
oh fire. Yeah. So when I went on, h like,
at first I'm reading the crowd because I'm in the back,
so I'm looking. I'm like, man, they don't look too crowded.
But then by the time I got on there it
was it was a crowd. So I don't know, it
(24:16):
was different, man, because I think the biggest shit I
did was in New Zealand, and that was a festival
and it was like just just that I feel like
that prepared me for this arena show, right, just to
have that vibe and that you know, it's a different
from just having a show back home type shit. So yeah, man,
it was crazy.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Man.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
I usually don't be getting stage fright type shit, but
you know, I kind of look, oh, I can imagine
you know what I'm saying, and just like getting the
vibe hearing the music all through the fucking arena.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
So it was just like, how long did you have
to do? Ten minutes?
Speaker 1 (24:45):
I did ten minutes.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Yeah, by the time you get through ten minutes, you.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Know, yeah, not for sure, you know what I'm saying,
But that ten minutes for like an hour. It was
like a hour for sure. But you know what, like man,
I I get that nervousness, but already know I'm gonna
do my thing. Once I got on there, it was
just like every other show. Man. I just went up
there and you know, had the crowd rocking.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Who would you consider to be like your biggest influences
outside of your family in terms of just the hip
hop shit?
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Like could you grow up listening.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
To man a lot of like even mag ten and
all them, you know, like mag Ten of Quick, I'm
listening to all that shit on repeat, Bone Thugs in Harmony,
and then's just everybody else that was growing up that's
all part of the La rap scene. Joe, Joe, Moses,
r J, Nip, you know what I'm saying, YG and
(25:31):
all that shit, Like, you know, like it was hard
for sure. You know, they all play some on this
music shit.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
I wonder what are your thoughts on just like the
new landscape of like gang culture and politics being so
openly discussed.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
On this podcast on podcast.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
And even like members of it's pretty crazy.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
I don't fuck with that shit, Like whatever that's happening
within your hood and your homies or whatever that's even
on the streets should not be broadcasted on these platforms,
you know what I'm saying. And then it's just like
that ship ain't gangster to me, because it's like you're
letting all these other people know what's going on within
y'all ship, and then now everybody else's opinion is getting
(26:17):
caught up with y'all hood and it's just.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
And then like tiktoks get made, yes, and then people
make YouTube documentary like the YouTube documentaries, you know.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
What, I what I feel about it, It's like they're
making a mockery out of Game Bang, where a lot
of motherfuckers that really put their life on the line
for this ship. It's just like, damn, this is what
it came to, like, y'all just like it's a it's
a it's a it's content now and it's just like
and I just feel like it makes it more of
a joke. That's why more snitching is going on, more
(26:47):
you know, bust ass ship. Motherfucker's doing weird ship. It
keeps going on because we're letting We're letting it happen.
You know, we're like, we're giving it to the world,
so then everybody's changing everybody's perspective on and we're giving
everybody else.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Say, yeah, I think when you overexpose like a culture
that's not supposed to be exposed, it's supposed to be
you know, held tight, I feel like people don't take
it as serious anymore, and they maybe become desensitized to
like how they're supposed to maybe maneuver.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
And then the public And I'm not gonna speak on
every hood because I know like that don't agree with it,
like even for mine, Like there's certain shit. I'm never
gonna go against my morals to for her likes, for like,
to speak out to the crowd for them to try
to get my point of view on something. Because if
it's real, homie, you know what I'm saying, And y'all
(27:39):
tripping and we tripping, ain't nothing to talk about, you
know what I'm saying, Like we're gonna get We're gonna
get busy, right.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Yeah, explain to me New Simo and Mafia Music.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Is that the label?
Speaker 1 (27:52):
So that's a so the buya they were some more
Mafia Okay, So this is the New Yeah, that's why
I came out with the New Samore on Mafia. My
second album is New Samore and Mafia Volume two. So uh,
it was just like you know, if you ever looked
at the bout Yard, they were like a unit, you
(28:13):
know what I'm saying. So that's what I kind of
picked up off them and type shit, and that's what
I'm trying to keep going.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Would would you ever try to get them to come
out of retirement or you know, maybe maybe get get
some of your fam on a record. I mean there's
a documentary being worked one by Estegan.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Yeah, so you know the last ones here is my
pop say on Gotti. You know, so a lot of
them ain't here no more. So you know they already
make their impact, you know what I'm saying. I wish
I you know, that probably would be something that I, like, damn,
I would want, But I'm gonna just let their legacy
and what they've done already, it's already stamped for sure,
you know what I'm saying. So now just from from
(28:52):
my job is just to continue it, to keep that
name going.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
What do you feel like, five man, how you're feeling
about the new year? Are you are you would you
say you're ten toes in on the.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Music, I'm ten toes all the way now, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
I would just say that because anybody who comes from
like your background, I always say, like, if you aren't
ten toes in, if you're like I got one foot in,
one for out.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
You're cheating yourself.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Yeah, no for shure. So that that that's a lot
of battle that I've been.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
For sure, because no matter no matter what you do,
you're always gonna have people hitting you, homie hitting you,
you know what I mean. But you got to understand, like, yo,
you're on a mission, dog like, and there's so many
artists that are coming out every day that like, in
order for you to even be able to compete, you've
got to be all in on this shit.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Yeah, and I'm all the way in, man. So it's like,
you know, I had to make that choice if I'm
gonna keep on doing what I'm doing. Because I'm keep
doing what I'm doing, it's gonna end me up in
two places, you know what I'm saying, or in jail.
Like as much as cliche as it sounds, that's true though,
it's literally true, true as shit.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Ever.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
You know what I'm saying hundred percent. Yeah, So yeah, man,
I'm just trying to you know, better myself, make something
happen and leave behind my own legacy.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Would you say, like you getting like news about you
having a baby was like, well, first of all, when
you first find that out, that's got to be sick, like,
oh shit, do.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
We got to take another test to double check?
Speaker 2 (30:12):
You know now that it's like here, it's about to happen, Like,
are you nervous?
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Has it like even hit you yet?
Speaker 1 (30:19):
You know what? Like even the whole time, I feel
like it didn't really hit me yet, but now it's
hitting me because it's like, all right, like my I'm
about to have a whole my my little me here
in any other day, So it's gonna be different. I
ain't experiencing it because she ain't here yet. So when
she gets here, I know it's gonna be might it
(30:40):
might suck me up? You know what I'm saying. Sure,
I don't know yet, but you know I'm excited and
uh you know for sure you know I want to
make things better for her living type shit.
