When you do the.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Right thing, here comes somebody ain't gonna like it. Somebody

Speaker 1 (03:34):
When you make the.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Decision to do the right thing, somebody is gonna call
you a hypocrite because you know what they gonna do.
They gonna point out the way you were in the

How you all of a sudden claiming this one I
saw you doing that. Please understand, when you make the
decision to do the right thing, here they come you
(03:57):
a hypocrite. You think they don't call me that, They
call call that Steve Harvey, he fake, I hear man.
Look on Twitter, you try to tweet people positive stuff.
Here come a tweet you fake your family and all that.
I ain't say my family was.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Man. I'm just trying to give out some positive encouragement,
you know.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
But here it come. You a hypocrite. I remember when
you was out on the tour with the Kings of Comedy.
Yeah me too, I remember that too, But I ain't out.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
On tour with them no more. We done all changed. Hello,
So now what you want me to do?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
You want to keep living up to what you saw
me as what I was, And I can't get no
credit with you for what I'm trying to be.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Now that's that. Now you're gonna be a hypocrite. You fake?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Nah, man, you ain't fake. You just have made the
decision to be a better person, that's all. And now
because you ain't the person you was, the person they knew,
now they see the new you. Now you're a hypocrite.
You ain't a hypocrite.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
You just changed it.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Don't let them hate to shake you. Man, go own
about your business when they talking about you. Look at
him now, gonna try to go home. He been with
me all this time, Hey man, just go home. Oh
he gonna try to go home now, man, he know
Friday nights. Man, we done told our girls just where
we're at now. He's showing up at the house because
he don't want to come on player. Hey, man, just
go home. It's gonna be unpopular. You're gonna get talked about.
(05:13):
They gonna say you're a hypocrite. But do the right thing.
God will bless you for that. There's something in Proverbs
that says, if you honor God, if you do the
right thing, if you seek him out, God will cause
his blessings to chase you down. Do you understand me
what that means? Can you imagine what would happen in
your life if God were to take some blessings and
(05:35):
chase you down with him. Do you know that there's
no hiding from him in your deepest, darkest secret.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
He know about the.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Stuff that you done kept out the light from everybody else.
He know about all of that. So now if he
has got some blessings that he gonna chase you down with,
you can't even escape them. You look up and here
come another one. That go another one, Here he go again. Man,
And that's why I'm trying to get my life too,
because at the end, man, what I do not want? Man,
(06:06):
And not even at the end I just don't want
now God to have all these boxes up in heaven,
these blessings with my name on them, and I don't
get them sent to me because I'm down here clowning
so hard. He can't even ship blessings to me, because
I'm just so dead wrong that I'm blocking the blessings man.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
That God got for me.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I would rather do the best I can do and
be the best I can be, make some mistakes, ask
for forgiveness, and get on up and see what God
got for me. And remember, Donni McLurkin got a song out.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Man.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
We ain't got time to play it now because I
have talked too long, But you know that's why I
am right now. The song and it is one of
my favorite. When Donnie wrote we Fall Down, do you
know I knew him when he wrote the song. I
thought he had wrote the song for me. I really did,
because it came out after a conversation we was having,
(07:02):
and I thought he had wrote the song for me
because it's so appropriate to my life. And I bet
you it's appropriate to your life because you see, guess what,
We fall down, but we get up. He has a
line in the song that says a saint is just
a sinner who fell down, but he didn't stay there.
(07:22):
That's the deal, y'all. Look, you gonna make some mistakes.
Just don't stay there. Just get up, man, and walk
straight again. Then while you're walking straight and right and
trying to be righteous, you're gonna fall.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Get up.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Don't stay there and get back on the straight and
the righteous. You're gonna fall a bunch of times. Just
don't stay there, Just get up, man. That's the only
difference between a saint and a sinner. They the same people, man. Actually,
that's what the revealing news is. Saints is really sinners.
They're the same people. They just keep getting up, that's
(07:57):
all man.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
