one of your family members, oneof your siblings, and you know
they some.
You know they may not know whatyou're about, they don't know

probably get some bad vibesfrom family members, and the
truth is there's some, there'ssome members of the family I'm
sure you know don't like the cutof my jib.
(03:01):
You know I move a littledifferent, I walk a little
different, and so I already knownot everybody is going to like

this man with anybody, like thisman with anybody, with anybody,
(14:50):
bro, I don't, I don't wish thistype of pain on my worst
enemies.

I, like, I pray that nobody hasto go through this pain, bro,
bro, oh my god, man, so, man,open your eyes.

The, the arguing, the bickeringman, the constant, you know,
hating and lack of love for oneanother man, the beef that's
(15:39):
just been sitting for years andyou and this person just can't
get along, bro, let it go.
Been sitting for years and youand this person just can't get

Life is so short, life is soshort and it's too short to be
holding grudges against people.
Man, man, I, I don't even got,I don't even have the, the
energy to.
If you couldn't hear it already, I don't have it, I don't have
it in me to preach this messageto you and to anybody else
(16:52):
anymore, this specific one, andand I'll find it again for sure,
I'll find it, and you know, Igot a million other things that
I'll be talking about, but, likeright now, like anybody who
needs that, talk, bro, like it'slike at this point, it's
(17:12):
between you and God, bro, causeI don't have no grudge in me to
hold against nobody, bro.
If I did before, I, bro, I have, I, yo, I forgive you, whoever
you are.
I forgive you and and I praythat you forgive me, that's it,
bro.
I don't have any grudge in meto hold against you anymore,
(17:39):
have any grudge in me to holdagainst you anymore, because
life is too short and I could begone tomorrow.
God forbid somebody else couldbe gone tomorrow, today, bro.
So I pray.
I pray that we, all us asbrothers and sisters and it may
sound cliche, but we'llliterally make the decision to
(18:02):
live in harmony, be thecommunity that God has called us
to be.
And yes, we have our differenceof opinions and you know, yes,
we believe different thingsultimately, but I mean, love is
universal man.
Love transcends everything,transcends religion, race, creed
(18:30):
, bro Yo, love transcends it all, and if we could just love one
another man, just love eachother, we'd be in a much better
place as a society.
Man, but it starts with us.
It starts with us.
We can't change the world ifwe're not willing to change
(18:52):
ourselves.
Can't change the world if we'renot willing to change ourselves
.
Can't change the world if we'renot willing to change ourselves
.

thought about it, if you eventhought about doing something
for the family man, if you evenconsidered it.

My father, bishop Smith maynever hear this, but I thank God
that he's still here and I'mstill here and I literally was
able to sit down with himyesterday and talk to him about
life and everything, and I wasable to thank him for everything
he's done, to thank him foreverything he's done, and I just
(19:57):
pray that we continue to getthe opportunity to love on each
other, all of us, all of us.

on each other, man, until God isready for us.

Eyes can't get more open thanthis, bro, it don't.
Eyes can't get more open thanthis bro, something like this
(14:07):

two children, my niece and mynephew, bro, eyes.
(14:28):
I don't know if it's possiblefor eyes to be open more than
this.
Yes, god gives and he takes,and yes, it's appointed unto.
Man wants to die, but, man, wedon't want to see nothing like
this man with anybody, like thisman with anybody, with anybody,
(14:50):
bro, I don't, I don't wish thistype of pain on my worst
enemies.
I just I don't even have noenemies, but, like bro, I don't.
There's people out there who,like, wish ill on other people.

The, the arguing, the bickeringman, the constant, you know,
hating and lack of love for oneanother man, the beef that's

(16:27):
Life is so short, life is soshort and it's too short to be
holding grudges against people.
Man, man, I, I don't even got,I don't even have the, the
energy to.
If you couldn't hear it already, I don't have it, I don't have
it in me to preach this messageto you and to anybody else
(16:52):
anymore, this specific one, andand I'll find it again for sure,
I'll find it, and you know, Igot a million other things that
I'll be talking about, but, likeright now, like anybody who
needs that, talk, bro, like it'slike at this point, it's
(17:12):
between you and God, bro, causeI don't have no grudge in me to
hold against nobody, bro.
If I did before, I, bro, I have, I, yo, I forgive you, whoever
you are.

life is too short and I could begone tomorrow.
God forbid somebody else couldbe gone tomorrow, today, bro.
So I pray.
I pray that we, all us asbrothers and sisters and it may
sound cliche, but we'llliterally make the decision to
(18:02):
live in harmony, be thecommunity that God has called us
to be.
And yes, we have our differenceof opinions and you know, yes,
we believe different thingsultimately, but I mean, love is
universal man.
Love transcends everything,transcends religion, race, creed
(18:30):

another man, just love eachother, we'd be in a much better
place as a society.
Man, but it starts with us.
It starts with us.
We can't change the world ifwe're not willing to change
(18:52):
ourselves.
