so we make way better decisions than we did in the past way better cause I know
I done And made some decisions that I did not agree with at all. And just leave it there.
You know what I'm saying? Just leave that there. And we pressed the fast forward.
(01:37):
For the day Chappelle shake it off. You know what I'm saying? That happened.
Because sometimes you just want to just get mad. You just want to take it out.

story Came a long way Came from the chrysanthemum Zero,
(02:19):
From innocence, mind messed up in a lot of ways. That's how school snatch you
up. You just owe another mother.
Family don't know what happened. Family like, what the? All right,
is he going to be able to make money at least?
That's all my concern is. You know, job. It's an income company.
(02:42):
You know what I'm saying? And then go from stages where, you know,
you find yourself in there.
You find it yourself. sometimes people didn't already tell you who you was so
they looking at you like what's happening here it's like oh nah I had to find
identity I already had it in the beginning I just dragged it out of me I had to re-identify,
(03:04):
and they ain't trying to readjust so I was like uh back to the drawing board I go,
that's how I be though you know it's good to have that around as long as it's
healthy as long as it's strong Long as they're, you know, saying not toxic.
In any type of way. Because they ain't good for you.
Nobody ever want to be in like a toxic situation at them. Don't feel good.
(03:27):
You ever feel drained spiritually and wonder what the hell's wrong?
And then you realize it's the situation. It's like, oh, I got to find a way
out. I got to find something to do.
To get me out of this. This is not great for me.
Why do I have to come here and not feel great? What the hell?
You know? So you want to look for the more healthier situations,
(03:51):
if you can find it, because it's hard.
Or find things that are like escapisms.
You know, we all have escapisms and stuff that we have to get through it,
unfortunately, but at least we have outlets.
At least you have to take your mind off certain things like,
damn, why the hell is this like this?
It could be way better.
(04:13):
You know, but that's not something to stress. You know, that's not something
to swell your head about. Oh yeah?
So, so to, you know, look for improvement and use that as a drive,
you know, as I do, as a drive now.
I don't know how I can learn.
Not like that though. Not like, like on, I was just saying like a drive of like,
