people that can say the exact same thing. I mean,
come on, man, I got you, ain't famous, I got
ain't nobody, got no microphone in your face, I got nobody,
ain't got no spotlight on you. I got nobody, ain't
got no camera in your face. I got nobody probably
ain't nobody blogging about you. But let me tell you something.
If you break it down and be real about it,
(01:24):
Oh you done done something outside the box. You done
done something, ladies included, you've done something out the box.
You woke up and went what did I do that for?

Man.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
That's an amazing God right there. Because I know I
couldn't do it. I couldn't do it. I'm glad it's him,
you know. Today Man, I want to encourage brothers out there.
And when I say brothers, I'm talking to everybody that's
of the male species. I don't care about your color,
I really really don't. I don't even have time for
that in my day. A matter of fact, Sometimes when
(02:20):
you get to discuss and race, I just get tired
of it. Sometimes I just wish, you know, some days
I just want to wake up just do me. You know,
I got what the skin tone is. I got that.
But I just want to wake up some days and
just going by my business and do me. I don't
want to have to deal with it somebody. I get
tired of talking about the issues. Ain't gonna make them
go away, But sometimes I get tired. So to day,
(02:41):
I'm talking to brothers, all the brothers of the male species.
I'm talking about men today. Man, if you ain't doing
it all, if you're feeling empty, man, start today completing
your process and your journey.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
And you know what I'm.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Saying by that, if there's a part of you just
miss and as a man, and now, man, i'm talking
to you. So you know some ladies listening, but you
know what I'm talking about. It's some part of you
that's missing as a man. If you ain't really been
in touch with your kids like you're supposed to now
for whatever the reason is. And please know, I do
(03:19):
understand how sometimes women can use children as pawns. It
happens all the time. I've been through it. I've been
through it, man, I know what it feels like, man
to wanna do something, but because you ain't got this
or you ain't doing this, then I ain't gonna let
you have this. You got to fight through, fellas. You
(03:40):
got to fight through. You got to fulfill your end
of the deal. And I got how difficult they making it.
I got how man, it's gonna come with some drama,
but you gotta fight through it, because man, we need
fathers to be fathers. That's really what we need. If
you're a man out there and you are a father
(04:00):
of a child, we need you do your job. We
I'm talking about our community, our situation, us as a people,
all of us.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
We need you to be a father. Period.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Hey man, I ain't coming down on you. I'm just
your boy. I'm your man. And I've been in the
same predicament, in the same hole myself, where I couldn't
get to them, where they were used as pawns, where
they were told things about me that wasn't even true.
I've been through it. You can't see them, you don't
come up, okay, Okay, I got all that. You ain't
(04:38):
sent this. You ain't okay, Hey, got all that. If
you can call them sometimes, tell them you thinking about them,
tell them you love them. If you can get a
letter to them, if you can get a message to
your children through one of your relatives. Start the process today.
(04:58):
Be a father. It's your job now. Because you ignoring him,
or you acting like they ain't over there, or you
toe backed them out of your mind.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Because the situation got too difficult.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I got that. I got that. But you got to
step up and be fathers. You got to write a letter.
You gotta send the money if she talking about it. If
you don't send all the money, you ain't gonna see her.
Send what you got she. If taking it over there
is too much drama, send it through a relative, Give
it to a mama, Give it to a sister, ask
her to take it over there and do something for
the baby.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Because okay, okay, you can't deal with the drama.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I got that, And I know it's much to pay
when you have to deal with that, because I clearly
I know hell have no fury like a woman's going
Please know. I know that, Please know. And that's a
real statement. That ain't no saying. Steve got that's the truth.
But do what you gotta do. Sometimes you have to apologize.
(05:55):
Sometimes an apology goes a long way to your children.
Just say, look, because I've made this apology before. Hey, man, look,
I'm sorry I wasn't there for you. I was out
grinding and hustling, and I wasn't paying attention to you,
and I should have been.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
And I apologize.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
And I imagine, man, there's days where you was telling
people I was your father up at the school and
they wasn't believing you. I apologize for sending you through that.
But now, man, I tell you what. I made some mistakes,
and I got it together. I want me and you
to move forward as father and son. I want me
and you to move forward as father and daughter. I
want to be in your life now. I ain't got
(06:36):
a lot, but guess what, I know a lot, because
if you a man and you a father, please know
you know something that child don't know. You have information,
you have experience. That's all they need sometimes to have
somebody to talk to. That daughter yours just needs to
know from her daddy. How should a man treat me?
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Dad?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
What should I look for in a man? See, they'll
take that inform from you because they know it's coming
from the right place. And then you know that your
son needs you because you know how difficult it is
if you're trying to be a man without your daddy.
You already know how funky that is, right there. So
come on, man and meet your mistakes and move forward.
(07:18):
Call your kids, write a letter, get a phone number
on them, send a text, drop a message, send a
note up to the school.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Do something. Man.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
If those of us that are fathers would just be fathers,
I could shut the minering camp down.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Now.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I will say I apologize because I don't want you
to think I'm coming down on you. But I've been
through this myself. I ain't really coming down. I'm just
reminding you. This is our job. These are our children,
this is our responsibility. We are men. There is no excuses.
You don't get you don't get. Cut a brake on
that one.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
