Come on, uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody.
You'll listening to the voice and now come on, digny
one and only. Steve Harvey got a radio show one
more time partner, Steve Harvey got a radio show.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Man.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
How amazing is that? How good has God been to me?
How good has He been to you? Just check yourself sometimes,
just sit up and just just run a survey. Just
look at your life where it's at. That might not
be where you want it to be, but that's probably
some decisions you made. But really, though, in spite of
(00:41):
all the crazy mistakes I don't made. I mean, man,
I I I look back at some of the decisions
I done came up with and and man, it's it's
it's just amazing.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
He let me live. I mean, it's it's and and and.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
To exist the way I exist, that's nothing but grace, mercy,
favor all that is. That's what my mama praying for
me when I wasn't praying for myself. It had to
be it, because man, I can truly tell you I
have made enough mistakes man, stuff you would never even
know about, and recovered from them all you can too.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
And I don't care what you've done.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Marvin Sap has a song out that says he saw
the best in me when everyone else around me could
only see the worst in me. You know, that's an
important song man especially. You know. I want to talk
to men today because man, being a man is so
(01:43):
so difficult. Please know it has been my quest ever
since I was a little boy. My father had one ambition, son,
I don't care what you do, but when I get
through raising you, you will be a man. That's all
I want you to be. And he never cared what
I did for a living. It never made a difference
(02:04):
to him. You're going to be a man. Manhood is
difficult now, ladies just listening to this, I'm not saying
womanhood ain't. I don't know what it takes to be
a woman, so you know, but I do know exactly
what it takes to be a man. So you know,
sometimes when you talk to people on the radio, you
have to preface things because people are just going he
(02:26):
trying to make it look like womanhood ain't. No, That's
not what I'm doing. I'm just talking to men today
to explain to them that they ain't by theyself and
struggling trying to figure this thing out that you are
not alone in your quest for manhood. That is difficult,
I gotta tell you, man manhood is that kind of difficult,
(02:47):
and it becomes even more compounded if a young boy
does not have a male role model.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I've said it a thousand times. I'll say it again.
A young boy without a male role model is like
an explorer without a map. Well, I have a suggestion
for everybody that's struggling with manhood and all of the
men out there that are men. This messages for all
of us, and it's for me too. You know.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I was listening to George Myers the other day and
she made a statement. She said, sometimes you got to
do the right thing, even when it feels wrong.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
You know.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
One of the difficulties of manhood is peer pressure and
the misguided principles of manhood. See what God wants us
to be as men and what we believe manhood is
is sometimes two different things. I'll give you an example.
(03:44):
I wrote this book for women, right and I was
telling them the three ways that a man shows his love,
and I call them three p's. We profess, we protect,
and we provide. Every man who is a man that's
how he exhibits love. We're not talkie talkie comforting. Were
not great nurturists. But when it comes down to it,
(04:06):
what we all want to do, what is in our DNA,
is to profess our love for something you as a woman,
to protect you as a woman, and to provide for
you as a woman. That's in our DNA. Now, sometimes
that gets messed up, and I'll give you an example.
Sometimes when a boy doesn't have the proper, real role
model in his life, he takes that principle of love
(04:28):
that we all possessing us every man, the professing part,
the protecting, and the providing part, and we misplay it.
That's why gangs exist. Gangs exist off those three principles.
What's the first thing a gang member do. He professed,
He claim a hood.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
That's the first thing you do. This is my neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
I'm deuce Trey, I'm triple h sh, I'm doop de doop,
I'm purple, I'm red, I'm blue. The first thing they
do is claim. That's professing. That's how we show our love.
But it's misguided though. Now we're professing something that ain't
even good for us. Your hood your gang, your click. Now,
guess what now we got to protect it. So now
(05:12):
as a protection part of our love, here we go.
You come down here, We're gonna do this to you.
You go over there, they gonna do that to you.
You protect your hood, this your turf, this all you got.
Ain't nobody coming down here with blue on. Can't nobody
come over here with red on. You can't come over
here with purple on. You can't come over here with
black and gold on. And we and we protect that
(05:32):
because that's in our DNA. And then what's the third
thing we provide? So guess what the gang need money?
Guess what we do. We're selling drugs, were selling women,
we're selling guns.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
It go back to the same thing. Man.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I don't know how God gave it to me that
way when I was writing a book, but he showed
it to me along the way. That's how men love
well when you don't have a role model in your life.
Guess what now? That love is misplaced, is misguided, is
off track? Ain't no man told you that. Really you're
supposed to take this love and give it to a woman.
You're really supposed to profess, protect and provide for a woman,
(06:09):
not your gang set. Now you professing your hood, repping
a color, you protecting your territory, shooting people driving by
coming over you on your street, and then you provide.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Now you're out here selling drugs and guns for the
same thing.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
When a boy does not have a male role model,
he has a misguided way of looking at manhood. Here's
the deal. See, God created all of us in his image.
That means he's put some of our DNA in him.
That's why it's in your DNA to profess, protect, and
provide because guess what, that's what God do for us,
(06:45):
because we His children. I'm just talking to men right now.
I'm just telling you, man, I had to wake up
about five years ago. I wasn't doing what God wanted
me to do, and then he shook me. He said, Man,
I'm gonna bring about some changes in your life. I'm
gonna cause some things to happen that's gonna put you
in a position. And this time you're gonna listen to me,
(07:06):
because if you don't, you're gonna keep living in this
pain you've been in. But you put yourself in this pain.
I owe no blame to no one else but myself. Please, No,
I know that. And that's how you really get to
manhood when you figure out what you'd be done wrong.
You can't blame this on none of your exes because
you a man. You can't go my xd this. No, No,
(07:26):
you a man, partner. You got to take responsibility for
yours and yours alone. If you got kids, you got
to get to them some kind of way. Write them
a letter, send them the money. If she won't let
you see it, for the money, whatever, send the money
to a mama. Do what you're supposed to do as
a man. Do what God wants you to do, man,
(07:46):
because he's not letting us off the hook for what
we're supposed to be just because you ain't doing it.
And if you do it, you turn your life around.
Just hollering at the fellas today, that's all. Sorry about that.
