yeah, yeah, y'a all thatyou talk to me about don't mind me?
Yeah, and what that means toyou? That song? That song?
Wow? Yeah, this is thisis why I was a lot of
a lot of savages stuff. Youknow, I was in my face where
(18:59):
I went through something I didn't evenrealize, Like I never really went through
it at this level before because me, I'm not a slimy guy, you
know, like I'm not there intentionallytrying to slim me. But you know,
some slimy stuff happened sometimes when yoube in the side. So this
was one of those occasions like thatI had a girl that I was dealing
with, and then we stopped talkingfor a little while, and then like
(19:19):
around when that COVID started and thenme and this me and her friend.
It was just like a hook up. But she didn't show me that she
knew my girl, right, shedidn't show me that she knew homy.
So I was just like until afterwe'd done, like I'm talking, we'd
literally just me and she's like,oh, so do you know. I
(19:41):
was like, yeah, what away to kill a moment, you know
what I'm saying. You never holleredat her again, that was even the
worst part. She created more dramaafter the fact, of course, and
then send it to me. Shedid, yes, sent it to me.
Why so vicious? Crazy? Imean sort didn't even talk about this
situation like like that, Yeah shedidn't see because she knew that it happened,
(20:02):
but she didn't even bring it upto me. Maybe she had a
thing with the other girl that shejust wanted to give back at her for
something. You know what, Idon't know, I don't know you out,
Yeah, we're not trying to openup all stuff. Mixed emotions out
right anymore, but yeah, no, that's it, Like it was just
(20:22):
yeah, I'm just it was oneof those situations. I was like,
yeah, you know what, I'mnot gonna make it more than it is,
like because it's really not. Soyou know, I'm just doing my
own thing. Don't mind me ifeven if you find out, like,
what are you gonna be mad about? I think it was going to be
like, oh, yeah, you'reShorty's friends. Oh yeah, just do
this. Like, it's not likeI had those intentions, you know what
I'm saying, So don't mind me. I'm still I'm just being aside.

No, not even not even youcan even handle it just too much.
They didn't even seen it. Theydon't even know what to do with it.
(23:56):
It's just like, oh my god, like it's go crazy. So
yeah, bro sucks. How doyou parent different from growing up with your
child understanding what they're going through inthat time of their life rather than what
I want them to be or whatI expect. Like I just gotta let
them be them, you know.I gotta let my daughter be her.
(24:17):
You know, she don't want totalk to me right now. That's cool.
I'm not gonna force her. It'sgoing to make yourself away. She's
two years old. She wants tosay by that now, I don't want
to talk to you that I'm busy. Cool, That's fine, Okay,
I don't I'm not mad, youknow. And it's those little things growing
up that a lot of our parentswould be just nitpicking at us about.
I feel like that would just disruptthe energy in the house. And it's
all about the energy, you know, Like when I was learning a lot
(24:38):
about psychology, it was everything stemmedback when you learn a lot about like
a lot of killers, a lotof murderers, serial killers. It all
stems back to the beginning. Whathappened in those first five to seven years
of life, right, and whatthey surround themselves with, what energies,
what things that they surround themselves with, their parents, around themselves with.
(25:00):
It's gonna set a course for themto become the person that they're going to
be for the rest of their life. Those programs are now in their head
right as up to them as they'regrowing up to add programs, change programs,
rewire it however they want download newstuff, right, and it's all
that's that's what growing up is,right, But it all starts from there.
So if a kid is in ain a negative environment, how can
(25:22):
you expect positivity just from that's justwhen he's based around surrounded by so much
negativity. That's what the hood is, right, And people look at it
like, oh, how can youhow can you act like that? Do
you want buddy for yourself? Howdo you even know better for yourself?
Look at what you are surrounded byat such a young age, right,
there's only a few things that cancome out of this. So with me
understanding, that just makes me knowhow I gotta keep a certain energy around
(25:44):
my daughter, right. I can'tlet certain energies come into her life because
I know that's gonna just start aspot, don't. I don't need in
my life and she don't need inher life. So yeah, sometimes that
energy comes from people that are closed. You're telling me, it usually comes
from the people that are close,right, That's why I'm I'd be on
it, you know, I'd bewatching everybody, watching what they're doing,
(26:06):
just making sure that everything's okay,because I don't want that negative energy.
And my mother she knows that aswell because we went through a lot of
similar things growing up, so sheunderstands a lot about keeping that energy in
the house too, and making surethat our daughter is always happy, always
smiling, always being her Sure,you know, no, let her no
boundaries, let her know you don'tsay you know what I'm saying, obviously,
but you still got to let herbe her. Yeah. Yeah,
(26:26):
because people can be toxic around kidsand not even know it. Yeah,
and the kids are just soaking thatup like like a sponge, that's what
they do. So yeah, yougotta really be careful. I'd be careful.
You're raising a woman, man,Hey man, you feel me right
there? Yes, sir, you'restill playing football? Yeah yeah, I'm
in a little touch league. Yeahyeah. I'm trying. Hopefully I can

yeah, yeah, y'a all thatyou talk to me about don't mind me?
Yeah, and what that means toyou? That song? That song?
Wow? Yeah, this is thisis why I was a lot of
a lot of savages stuff. Youknow, I was in my face where
(18:59):
I went through something I didn't evenrealize, Like I never really went through
it at this level before because me, I'm not a slimy guy, you
know, like I'm not there intentionallytrying to slim me. But you know,
some slimy stuff happened sometimes when yoube in the side. So this
was one of those occasions like thatI had a girl that I was dealing
with, and then we stopped talkingfor a little while, and then like
(19:19):
around when that COVID started and thenme and this me and her friend.
It was just like a hook up. But she didn't show me that she
knew my girl, right, shedidn't show me that she knew homy.
So I was just like until afterwe'd done, like I'm talking, we'd
literally just me and she's like,oh, so do you know. I
(19:41):
was like, yeah, what away to kill a moment, you know

Yeah, yeah, we work forit. Yeah, not too much
much. Why are we whispering?I feel like you're a little bit of
like a lover boy when you wantno. Yeah, that's a fact.
Like that's me in trouble though.Yeah, I don't know. They're nodding
over there he is. He's alover boy too. It might be a
(23:33):
Canadian thing, dog, it mightbe. Yeah, I'm a super love
boy though. Yeah. Yeah,I love to love, but I love
to love so much I don't getthe love that I give out back.
Wow. Wow, Yeah, sometimesyou got to realize, like, not
everybody's you right, that part.Everybody deserves the love that you give.
No, not even not even youcan even handle it just too much.
They didn't even seen it. Theydon't even know what to do with it.
(23:56):
It's just like, oh my god, like it's go crazy. So
yeah, bro sucks. How doyou parent different from growing up with your
child understanding what they're going through inthat time of their life rather than what
I want them to be or whatI expect. Like I just gotta let
them be them, you know.I gotta let my daughter be her.
(24:17):
You know, she don't want totalk to me right now. That's cool.
I'm not gonna force her. It'sgoing to make yourself away. She's
two years old. She wants tosay by that now, I don't want
to talk to you that I'm busy. Cool, That's fine, Okay,
I don't I'm not mad, youknow. And it's those little things growing
up that a lot of our parentswould be just nitpicking at us about.
I feel like that would just disruptthe energy in the house. And it's
all about the energy, you know, Like when I was learning a lot
(24:38):
about psychology, it was everything stemmedback when you learn a lot about like
a lot of killers, a lotof murderers, serial killers. It all
stems back to the beginning. Whathappened in those first five to seven years
of life, right, and whatthey surround themselves with, what energies,
what things that they surround themselves with, their parents, around themselves with.
(25:00):
It's gonna set a course for themto become the person that they're going to
be for the rest of their life. Those programs are now in their head
right as up to them as they'regrowing up to add programs, change programs,
rewire it however they want download newstuff, right, and it's all
that's that's what growing up is,right, But it all starts from there.
So if a kid is in ain a negative environment, how can
(25:22):
you expect positivity just from that's justwhen he's based around surrounded by so much
negativity. That's what the hood is, right, And people look at it
like, oh, how can youhow can you act like that? Do
you want buddy for yourself? Howdo you even know better for yourself?
Look at what you are surrounded byat such a young age, right,
there's only a few things that cancome out of this. So with me
understanding, that just makes me knowhow I gotta keep a certain energy around
(25:44):
my daughter, right. I can'tlet certain energies come into her life because
I know that's gonna just start aspot, don't. I don't need in
my life and she don't need inher life. So yeah, sometimes that
energy comes from people that are closed. You're telling me, it usually comes
from the people that are close,right, That's why I'm I'd be on
it, you know, I'd bewatching everybody, watching what they're doing,
(26:06):
just making sure that everything's okay,because I don't want that negative energy.
And my mother she knows that aswell because we went through a lot of
similar things growing up, so sheunderstands a lot about keeping that energy in
the house too, and making surethat our daughter is always happy, always
smiling, always being her Sure,you know, no, let her no
boundaries, let her know you don'tsay you know what I'm saying, obviously,
but you still got to let herbe her. Yeah. Yeah,
(26:26):
because people can be toxic around kidsand not even know it. Yeah,
and the kids are just soaking thatup like like a sponge, that's what
they do. So yeah, yougotta really be careful. I'd be careful.
You're raising a woman, man,Hey man, you feel me right
there? Yes, sir, you'restill playing football? Yeah yeah, I'm
in a little touch league. Yeahyeah. I'm trying. Hopefully I can
(26:47):

little litt little flatted stair is right, yeah, And I'm not looking at
the stairs. I'm looking at mygirl and a kid. So I fall
