Speaker 3 (05:27):
Bro.

Speaker 4 (05:28):
Hey.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
The documentary three, Yeah, we come on top of the year, man.

Speaker 4 (05:32):
Top of the year.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
We about to drop music. Man, that's crazy, dog.

Speaker 5 (05:35):
You know, thinking back to the the O G documentary
and so many songs came out of that one project. Bro,
you hit the ground running with that and then the videos,
the visuals came out and it was just your time.

Speaker 4 (05:47):
Yeah, that's crazy, bro. So for documentary three, what do
we have in line? Can you say?

Speaker 1 (05:52):
You know? For documentary three, Man, it's just the it's
just the third act, man, it's saying and the reason
why I'm doing it three. I was gonna stop it
with documentary tool, which you know is I don't know
how many times planning by now. But they say not Dave,
and say, my grandmother always told me, you know, in
life you got three acts, you know, and the Bible says,

(06:13):
you know, you live. I think there's three scores in
a ten. So that's like a score is twenty and
the ten and seventy. So if you live past, if
you lived to seventy years old, you've lived a pretty
full life. So it's like with my albums, man, and
my legacy, it's like, you know, I'm in my third act.
So it's like, you know, I'm really the third act
would be you know, the final act and not saying
it's the final album. But I'm at that point in

(06:34):
real life. You know, my kids are older, my my
priorities and the things that I love and care about
are shifting. You know. I care less about you know,
like really material things. Yeah, I have nice things, but
I don't put my energy into those things. And so
with this album, it's just like I wanted to do
a trilogy just for that to service my grandmother's memory.

(06:54):
Things she taught me, being on the other side of life,
being more you know, more mature, more wiser, being uh,
you know more so like a you know, a guidance
see at this point because I'm here, right and if
anybody know anything about game, you know, my pen is
never slacking, and and my my ability to put together
albums completely the way that I do that is you know,

(07:16):
always top tier. So this album is incredible, man, that's right.

on the security this time? Can I just go with
my friends? I want to have fun? So I'm like,
I'll call you, so I said, And I'm like, she
wants some independence, you know, because I sent her to
Jamie Fox's Nieces Halloween party booted up for armed guards,
and you know, it made her for a moment. She

(11:51):
liked it, but this is like my most prized possession
in life. And then she game, daughter, I didn't cast
some ship. So it's like, I got to send her
out right, So, you know, I took an hour. I
thought about it. I talked to my mom about it.
My mom said, is the artist white? I said yeah,
she said, well let her go. Nobody's tripping. Yeah, So

(12:12):
I let her go, man as the art is white.
And it went off with it. It went smooth because
I forgot to ask, like, you know, how to go,
and then I asked yesterday. She was like, oh, it
was fun. It was so much fun. Of course. She
was like, you know, but you can put the detail
back on next time. It was just too much moving
around and hey, are you games daughter? And I was like, see,
but she did have fun though. Scale it down to

(12:33):
one guard maybe, yeah, yeah, yeah right yeah. Four was
o D four is crazy. That's a walla man. If
it's if it's something or someone that you cherished. I
can't live without her, of course, so like she has
to be protected at all costs, and you know, and
her mom was on me. She was like, you're paying
you know, four people, you know, And I'm just like, look, man,

(12:54):
this is how do you love her? And she was
like absolutely, and then she understood and we got it done.

Speaker 3 (12:58):

right right? No, no, yeah, they son you forgot your crazy.
They'll be fine. You know it's different with your daughter though,

(13:20):
that's crazy.

Speaker 4 (13:21):
Man.

Speaker 6 (13:22):
What's the biggest lesson you've learned? Like, since we were
speaking about kids, you know this kid, he's already in
college and then you have a newborn or addler graduated college.
What's the biggest lesson you learned from that that time to.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
This time all the time with children, to be patient,
you know, be patient. All of them are you know,
they're my older ones are all three and a half
years apart, and so they got different. They're from a
little bit of different generations. So you know, you can't.

(13:56):
You have to parent each child differently depending on their characteristics,
who who they are at heart. You can't do it
the same way like back in the day. You know,
me and you we o g So back in the day,
my dad or my mom would just like whoop all
of our ass. You know what I'm saying it no
matter who did what.

Speaker 4 (14:12):
You know what I'm saying and so associations.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
As me, I was good at math, but when it
came to like social studies and history, like I was
lacking there and so I got beat for that, you
know what I'm saying, because I got to see in
like history, but I'm like, I'm just not into that.
But these days, if one of my children, like, it's
not that good at science, then we get a tutor
for the science you don't and you're gonna chill a
little bit because the tutor gonna make sure that you

(14:37):
when you go in there, it's a piece of cake.
And then we're gonna really lock in on what you
love to do. And we also gonna take the extra
step go talk to the teachers. Hey, my kid is
not really that interested in science, but I know they
got to be here and I'm helping and she's willing
to and the teacher's like, oh, I got her. And
you know, you just gotta as a parent, you gotta
take the you know, the extra you got to go
to extra mind. But yeah, patience, man, patience with children

(14:59):
is the best you can be. Like, none of my
kids have ever had whoopings. I mean, I'm me, so
it's like, you know, they grew up with a dad
tattoos on lungs, you know, all over his face and
tough and fan the streets. So nobody never tried me.
But kids do they get a little they get in
their teenage, know they tried a little something. My sons

(15:20):
are bombed on twice. We never had to you know,
can you know line it up again? My daughter I
got in her face one time, like over her. Oh
she cried, and I felt like wow, and then told
you how bad that felt? Yea when they talked for
a week and then she told her mom, you let
dad like you let dad get over me. And I
was like, hey, I can't even so ever since then

(15:41):
we met cool. So now what I do.

Speaker 3 (15:44):
Yo?

Speaker 1 (15:44):
And so again this past weekend, first of letter, do
the Sabrina carbon throw on her own? Yes Friday, she
was like, dad, man, what she told me when I
was four? And I was like, what I tell you?
Remember that? My head? Lys? Yeah, She's like, you told
me when I got fifteen that I could maybe like

(16:06):
a boy. And I was like, I said, how are you?
She was like, I'm fifteen. She remembered that, and so
she was like, well, I didn't want to, you know,
hit you with it on my birthday was in August,
so now we're in November. Because I don't hit you
with it on my birthday. I was like, too soon.
Too soon. It's like feel like I'm you know, so

(16:27):
I just waited a few months. But I like a boy.
I'm like, what's his name?

Speaker 4 (16:31):
She's like, you know his name?

Speaker 1 (16:32):
So and so?

Speaker 4 (16:33):
Now who's his dad?

Speaker 1 (16:34):
Right right, let's figure it out. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
So she's like, well, you know, I know your dudes
and don't. He's from a two parent home, the Christians.
His mom's Mexican's dad's black. And I'm like, all right, cool.
So I'm like she's like, well, where we want to
go to the mood? No, she said, we're going to
see Wicked. I said, well, you're doing what she said,
we want to go see Wicked. And I said, okay, cool,
let me meet the parents. So they drive up. I

(16:59):
have like hour long conversation with his with his mom,
and we just talked about our children, you know, and
I said, you know, my my daughter is you know,
she's godfaring, you know, she's from a Christian childhood. I mean,
I mean household. She's not having any type of sex
until she's after she's eighteen. She knows that that's what

(17:20):
our deal is. Once she gets to college, if she
wants to be an adult and make that decision, that'll
be on her. Talk to your mom about that at
that point, because I'll be tapped out. I don't want
to know about your sexual history or anything going on,
you know. And so she knows that, and she's like,
you know, Dad, I know, like we got our thing
and I'm gonna hold it down. And so, you know,

(17:40):

Speaker 3 (18:44):
Man.

Speaker 1 (18:44):

Yeah you feel me? Game?

Speaker 5 (19:31):
You got ten albums, ten eleven a South count man. Bro,
wait there twelve thirteen albums?

Speaker 1 (19:38):
Maybe?

Speaker 5 (19:38):
Wait yo, bro, Like that's a body of work that'll
that'll supersede you, right, that'll when you're gone, that those
albums will still be performing.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
Yeah, my kids are asking that dad, publisher check in
because I you know, I'm looking at this. I'm like, yeah,
you know, give me two days.

Speaker 4 (19:57):
You know.

Speaker 5 (19:57):
I hear a lot about celebrities not leaving money or
not a lot of money to their kids when they go,
you know, because they want them to build their own
fortune or build their own future.

Speaker 4 (20:07):
Right, will you leave everything behind to the kids.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
I think everything, all those albums, I think everything behind
it should go to your kids. I don't know what
type of lessons certain parents are trying to teach their kids,
but I mean, we no one in this room, your parents,
my parents are their grand No one asks to be here, right,
So you have an obligation as a parent to be
a parent until as long as your children are your children,

(20:31):
even when you're gone, even when you're gone. Sure, so
my kids can have everything. I'm not gonna be using it,
you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (20:39):
Jackie Chance said, no.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
Right, yeah, I don't know. That's that's over there. You
know what I'm saying. They moving different over there. They're
moving fast, they moving different. You know over there. You
type in the E and ESPN just pops up. There's
no loading screens over there.

Speaker 4 (20:53):
It's crazy. They got to figure it out over there now.
But you leave it back to your children.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
Everything, everything, you have, everything, bro, Because I'm like, I'm
at the point now, man where I'm moving. I'm moving now.
And I said in my new crib, I'm doing like minimal,
Like I'm not hoarding stuff. I'm not overdoing the furniture
and none of that. I just want to walk through
clean spaces and be able to think. Because the last
house we had so much shit. The walls was closing

(21:17):
and it made me dislike the space. I couldn't be
creative in there. I had to jog around the block
or you know, go pull up somewhere and park just
to think, and I don't want that type of living space.
So like we cleaning everything out and we're not taking
anything from the old house to the new house except
pictures like pelotons and maybe the new the newest TV.

Speaker 4 (21:36):
You know that as well.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
Studio Now the studio stuff got a gold that got
a gold knee. Yeah, it's like to too expensive, that's right, yo.

Speaker 5 (21:46):
For the Gangster Grills mixtape, is there features or is
it all game? There's a few features. Man, there's a
few features, and I don't even mind telling them. There's
there's Mazi, Okay, there's Ja, and there's there's Jeremiah. That's
his game.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (22:05):
What's the joint where YA called crack music too?

Speaker 1 (22:09):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, because I never Originally YA called me
the studio. I rolled up. He wanted me to do
a verse and get on the hook, but I had to.
I had some fine shit in the car, so I
was like, that's a crack music gigga.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
My left.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
But the fans always just like, man, you should have
put a verse on crack music. So you redid it.
So there it is.

Speaker 5 (22:30):
Yeah, okay, yo, are you are you against or you
with AI music? You know, it seems there's like a
division that with artists.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
I'm not against anybody doing anything with music, right, I
don't necessarily I didn't necessarily love AI, but I can
see certain benefits. A lot of people say it's gonna
take away from the artistry. But then some people who
aren't as dope as Andre three thousand, or aren't as
dope as a lauraen Heill might get their start using

(23:02):
the AI prompts. You never know, and so the next
star might be prompted start their career in AI but
then end up being one of the greatest I mean
Elton John later on Celine Dion or something like that.
So it's like, I don't know, man, I think like,
let the world's going where it's going, and if it's uh,
if people are doing it and it's a conjoint effort
and it feels like a force that you can't stop.

(23:23):
I mean, you gotta either it's one of those things
you can't beat them joining them type things. Okay, lost,
It's like it's like, you know, it's at one point
on Earth people walking around barefoot. One motherfucker walked up
was like, yeah, I'm tired of my fucking feet. Burning
the boy. I'm about to make me some moccasinies after
that buck is like a shoe. I need some of
them too. You climb up the mountain, I'm calimbing up
the mountain, man. Then somebody's like, yo, the moccins ain't

(23:44):
doing it. We got to make a boot because we're
going to the locks. So it's like we all everybody
in here got on shoes, you know what I'm saying.
It's only like you know a few motherfuckers walking around
LA with no shoes, Eric Baney or something, you know
what I'm saying. I saw Eric Banay one time with
no shoes, really are no.

Speaker 3 (24:02):
It was like.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
It was like a blues like a jazz festival.

Speaker 4 (24:06):
So all right, so he's grounding. He was grounded.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
But again, I know people that ground themselves and they
probably are freer than you know us with the Jordan's.
I don't know you, but I don't hate on that.
I'm not looking at them like I ain't got no
shoes on, mom, Like you just don't know what people
were doing. Everybody's different, man, everybody's doing different things for
their lives. You're pro people having the tools.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
To get there.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
I'm pro I'm pro people doing what makes them happy.

Speaker 6 (24:32):
And at the end of the day, like we can't
connect with our favorite artists the way we can with AI.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
So I just yo. So the thing about AI is
when I hear AI, I instantly can't connect with it. Right,
So maybe the next genius is the person that figures
out how to make it less computery sounding and more
real if we're gonna use it, Because every time I
hear AI, I know it's AI. Right, they got instabaties

(24:59):
that are just AI. Now I know what to look
for because you know, I'm like, I say, somebody, there's
nobody in the background, anything you can tell. Yeah, it's
just like and some of it looks really really good.

Speaker 5 (25:11):
Yeah, it's just like I've been. I've been once or twice. Right, Yeah,
you know what I'm saying. Same, you gotta learn. You
got to learn bro Somewhere you'll.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
Yeah. We got to a point where Cali man where
she was just like we're doing family time. We're doing
family time. She was like eight and she just got
tired of and she created this thing. And sometimes it's
cool because you know, not all the time. You feel like,
you know, the pictures get accessed sometimes and I try

Speaker 5 (29:14):
The game Man Congratulations were also celebrating the twentieth anniversary
of the original documentary.

Speaker 4 (29:20):
Yeah, man, wow, it's a long time. Just run homie
to hold it down, you know.

Speaker 5 (29:25):
Legendary man, legendary music, legendary bars.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
Bro.

Speaker 4 (29:29):
We were discussing, you know, Les brought up the freestyle earlier.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
Yeah, like yo, bro, Yeah, three hundred bars. That was crazy, man,
that was iconic. It was fueled by anger, though, Is
that what it was? Yeah? Right, that was one take
straight through.

Speaker 4 (29:47):
Anger and anger?

Speaker 2 (29:48):
Was it?

Speaker 3 (29:48):
What was it?

Speaker 4 (29:49):
What was the anger from?

Speaker 1 (29:50):
I wanted to kill fifty at that time, man, And
and and it's just crazy what you know, hip hop,
gangst the rap what it did. And I thought at
that time, I was thinking I'd have been like twenty
four years old, misguided, fresh out of comptence still just
a few years, and I just felt like he disrespected me.
And I thought that, like I came into hip hop
thinking that hip hop was one hundred percent real and

(30:12):
all the way through. So I thought Video Chicks was like,
you know, you call up the homegirls, they bring the homegirls,
and you got chicks at the video. I don't know
they had a casting agent and he brings the baddies
and no one really knows these chicks. And I also
thought since Biggie and Pot got murdered that when it's on,
it's on because two of my favorites they died beefing.

(30:32):
So it's like when me and fifty was going through it,
I thought like, either he gonna kill me, I'm gonna
kill him, so I need to kill him first, you
know what I'm saying. And that was the mind state
of me and my twenties.

Speaker 3 (30:42):
Man, So how does that?

Speaker 1 (30:44):
I mean now, I watched Tommy and you know and
Kanaan and all that, So, so.

Speaker 4 (30:48):
How does that evolution now grow from you?

Speaker 1 (30:51):
Because like when you know, Les brought that up, you
were like you kind of just like were like, oh fuck,
that was like anger.

Speaker 4 (30:56):
How do you grow from that.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
You have a daughter, man, Yeah, my sons. I always
knew that my son's got good moms. So I always
knew that if something happened to me, like my sons
would be they boys too, like get go outside, go
figure it out, you know. But my daughter, she needed
she needed me. I needed her, And there's a point
in life where at some point I walk her down

(31:19):
the aisle and that's something that I really look forward to.
And yeah, so I gotta I have to live to
get there. So I gotta like chill out and you know,
like relax in some situations cause they're you know, it
be somebody killed Nipsey, you know. And so I've been
in the city outside for forty five years, man like

(31:41):
standing on ten holding it down, gang affiliated, and still
to this day, it's kind of like how dog gets
like we we out here, right, And so being out
here after Biggie and Pop getting murdered here, seeing Pop
smoke the p and b Rock thing, it's like, I'm
not immune to getting my life taken if somebody. And

(32:03):
so when Pop died, I was like sixteen. I didn't
know him, right, but I knew Nipsey. I watched Nipsey
go from selling incense to being a prominent LA hip
hop head. As intellectual and street smart as he was,
he deserves to be here. So as much as that
hurt the world, hurt La, it really hurt people that
knew him and people that was like, that was my brother,

(32:25):
you know what I'm saying. So being able to be
alive with somebody and then for them to leave and
their life be taken and the manner that his was,
and you get like, no one seen Pop die. We
There was a video or nip dying on the internet,
which I rebuke from the time that I saw, I

(32:46):
was like, Bro, this is why.

Speaker 4 (32:48):
Why are we watching this?

Speaker 1 (32:49):
Is why?

Speaker 4 (32:49):
How is it possible that we get to watch this?

Speaker 1 (32:52):
I saw it and I was just like, why is
this on the internet?

Speaker 3 (32:55):
You know?

Speaker 1 (32:56):
And so I say that to say that he slipping. Bro,
I can't afford to. I know where I live, I
know where I'm from, and I know what happens here.
So I just I gotta I have to live, So
I leave out. I leave out my house every single
day with in survival mode. And that's just me. Now
my kids they live a different life. They go to
private school, they you know, everything is you know, smooth,

(33:18):
but we who we are. And before you was cruised,
before I was game, there was people we had to
answer to and questions we had to you know, and
in places we had that we thought we had to
stand up in rep So it is what it is,
and it don't never go away. You know. I got
one of the homies that just got killed in this car.
He was fifty five years old the other day and
so again fifty five fifty five, he got grand kid,

(33:39):
he got a grand kid. But he over there, he'd
o gen he's still doing what he doing, and that's
what it is.

Speaker 4 (33:47):
Shit, yeah, hamm. So it doesn't end, no' I think like.

Speaker 1 (33:53):
An instad graand model got killed over yeah, yeah, like
north Ridge, and so it's like, man, it's you know,
that's what the city. I mean, it can happen anywhere, right,
but in this city it seems way too common for
me to not you know, protect myself at all times.

Speaker 4 (34:13):
Nah.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
I see.

Speaker 5 (34:13):
That's why how protective you are of your family, Yeah,
because you just you can't trust anyone, no.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
And it's and somebody asked me the other day, they
was like, you know, what's the focus now, right, and
so music used to be the drive, right and now
as I get older, man, it's like it's just family
and friends and what I there's one thing. And I
tell you know, everybody in here, some of y'all younger,
all the y'all younger. But yeah, I tell I tell

(34:40):
you like I tell anybody to ask me.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
Man.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
The focus now for everyone with the heart, right, a
heart a will to live that cares about themselves, should
be to put out the energy that people give to you.

Speaker 2 (34:55):
Right.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
So it's like family and close friends. If you call
a friend twice that nigga, don't call you back. We done,
we done reaching out. But if if you're the friend
that doesn't call right back, you need to do better
for your friend to checking on you because you might
be putting energy into a homie that ain't checking for
you because he's cool or something, but the person is

(35:17):
reaching out, like, Yo, bro, what's up? You good? Yeah? Bro?
I'm good? You good? That's who you lock in with.
If you got a girl and she wanted them, that's
who you lock in with. Fuck starting over and asking
this girl, this new girl, her favorite color? What's your name?
Where you're from? You want to do that over and
over and over and over again. When you get somebody

(35:39):
solid lock in. I watched a TikTok like two days
ago with a grandmother telling her granddaughter. She probably was
like thirty, but she was gonna divorce her husband. She
was like, you you ain't you over my dead body.
She was like, y'all had a few arguments. You me
and your grandfather. We we beat each other half to
death and never left because we knew that it would.

(36:00):
You know that one day you were going to be here.
So she was like, you you ain't getting no divorce.
And she was sitting there, grandma cheating. She was like,
I've been cheating on one hundred times. The grandpa was
sitting there, he said. But it was a real family moment.
And then so it's like these days, especially with women
and what social media depicts, they want you to get

(36:22):
mad at you're doing and leave them, and then somebody
else want to start what you're doing and get mad
and then leave them. And so we just all just
trading trauma all day. And you know what I'm saying,
nobody wants to lock in. So I applaud like when
I see, like, you know, Denzel Washington with his wife.
You know, everybody an mama wanted Denzel Washington, take Idris Elba,
somebody like that who has a wife, like people the

(36:44):
Savannah James Lebron, like Lebron's a man. Of course, women
love Lebron, they want Lebron, but he has a wife.
And so at the end of the day, you got
to lock in with the people to lock in with
you and stop being distracted by people who don't have
your interests at best heart. So I stopped doing that
at all. My Auntie called me. I call her four
or five times back that week. Is she checking for

(37:05):
a reason because she cared. You know what I'm saying,
I'm not like, sh't show what you're doing. And then
she takes that where yeah, like now I'm getting up
close and personal with people that I'm intentional with. And
when you do that, you don't have you don't even
have time for the other people no more, because you've
given all your time to people that you actually love
and care about. And that's where it should be. Man,

(37:25):
if you do the hat, you're gonna be happiest ship.

Speaker 5 (37:27):
That's right now, that's that's a that's the key to life. Yeah, right,
keeps you youthful too. I think right, let's stress keeps
you alive, man, eat you alive. That's what it's about.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
And I think that you know the underlying statement, and
that is is you never know when somebody's not gonna
be there no more. And how many times you have
we experienced that at this age of people that you
just wish you had one more drink with or one
more call with. You know, I'm down to like I'm
down to no grandparents and one parent, you know what
I'm saying. Crazy, So it's like, if something happens to

(37:58):
my mom, I'm instantly propelled to the head of the family.
There's no one older than you become that person exactly. Wow,
that's a trip. Yeah man, that's crazy. Bro, this is
sober by the way, we're talking like this sober. Oh yeah, man,
you catch me off a hendy it be first off.

Speaker 4 (38:15):
Then it's different, bro, this is pleasant.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
Man.

Speaker 3 (38:19):
I like that.

Speaker 6 (38:20):
And you're also launching fitness up right, helping fitness.

Speaker 1 (38:23):
Yeah, yeah, so we're we're in a we're in the
beginning stage of that, but it's it's gonna be great.
What it's gonna do is allow you to follow and
develop who you want to be and what you want
your physical attributes to be without like getting hit with
you know how you sign up for something and then
you and then you forget that you signed up for it,

(38:44):
and then it's just your debit card is getting packed
out every month, like we're we're designing a system where
it doesn't do that. It will unregister you, unregister you
by itself if you're not active. So it's like, yah,
so I let you off the hook in jail. You
worry if you if you if you're with us and
you locked in and you're active, your account is active,

(39:05):
then cool. If you take a month off, we don't
want you a part of the app because you're slacking,
and so we only want we only want members and
followers who are about that life. And so if you
get distracted by your new man and you fall off
your fitness mind like we we off you too. Oh
and by the way, keep your nine to ninety nine,
like we don't want those cycle people. That's right, but

(39:26):
it also just gives back to the people.

Speaker 5 (39:27):
You know what I'm saying, nah man, good ship bro

lack of better term. But it's crazy how he's viewed
as a suspect but he hasn't been arrested yet. That's
somebody's daughters.

Speaker 1 (40:27):
Once they because at first they wasn't saying he was
a suspect. You know what I'm saying. Now they's saying
he a suspect, right, which means that's a tailsale. But
the thing I read that disturbed me my daughter fifteen.
That girl was fifteen. The decapitation. I think I read
that she was decapitating. Yeah, let me be the voice

(40:47):
for all real fathers who love their daughters. If I
was the father of that girl, you decapitated my child,
I'm decapitating whoever did capitating you at some point before
I leave the earth. That type of shit ain't cool, man.
I couldn't. I wouldn't be able to live with myself

(41:08):
if I did. And I'm not telling her father what
to do or go be violent, but I'm just saying
me personally, that's how deeply I love my child. It's
like you're gonna get and that's not gonna fix it,
and they're gonna be people. Oh you know game, that's
not gonna bring her No, yeah, I don't know. It's
gonna bring something back, you know what I'm saying. Because
that I don't like that, man, And I really one
thing I hate more than anything is people violating women

(41:30):
and children. I don't like that. We as men can
go to toes all day. We've been doing it. For
centuries and centuries men been at war, kings. They didn't
bring women and children in the wars. They left them
in the castle and was like, if you lose the war,
the new dude come and just you know, kick you
out the castle. But you wasn't on the front lines.
Women and children should be off limits, man, and that

(41:51):
should go for all La and everywhere else. But this
is La. So I'm saying that if you in the
streets and you're doing your thing, man, and you got
a problem with some fools or whatever, Hamen look like
men leave women and children alone, Bro, one hundred percent. Yeah,
for people.

Speaker 4 (42:04):
For CELESTI, three of us. The girl, you know, I
just I hope I pray that there's some kind.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
Of beautiful, beautiful young child this.

you dog. Always love. It's love, Bro, Thank you, Bro.
