Have you ever felt like you're constantly giving in your relationships without receiving the same support in return? On this special Motivational Monday, we celebrate the one-year anniversary of our podcast, Full Steps, by tackling this challenging question. Reflecting on my own journey through shoulder surgery and the complexities of friendships and relationships, this episode dives deep into the realm of reciprocity. It's about valuing those who uplift you and being cautious of those who consistently take. By sharing personal stories and insights, I encourage you to critically assess the dynamics of your connections and ensure that the energy you give is matched with genuine support and appreciation.
Moving beyond the surface, we also examine the importance of self-worth and authentic connections. In a world that often prioritizes superficial gains, I question societal values and urge you to hold firm to your identity. True growth comes from embracing our flaws and traumas, allowing us to shield ourselves from external judgments and remain true to our integrity. Let this episode be a catalyst for reevaluating instant gratification and transactional interactions, motivating you to seek relationships that are meaningful and lasting. Join us for an enlightening discussion aimed at fostering genuine connections and enhancing your self-awareness.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hey, welcome to Motivational Monday with Full
Steps.
Only I'm Jack, you know, justtrying something new, you know,
just for the book he said right,start your Mondays off.
I don't know where the hellthis came from, but my partner
(00:21):
told me we should start doinglike little motivational pieces
just to make you laugh a littlebit, just to know how we kick it
, just on a regular basis.
So I'll leave it at the qualityof the part.
It usually is seeing it clusterclear.
But we're taking some new micsout that I just got.
I'm checking the quality outjust to see if this is or this
(00:43):
ain't.
Y'all let me know what y'allthink.
I know this ain't like thestudio that we usually have and
we usually have it going.
But yeah, how's y'all's Mondaygoing this morning?
Oh shit, it's actually 4.50after.
You know, valentine's Day.
Happy one-year anniversary.
(01:04):
The first step was only westarted.
We dropped our first episodelast year.
I mean, it's just amazing howshit transpires over the years
and how things go.
And I look back last year and Ijust take a contrast of what my
life was like last year and itdamn sure wasn't this at all.
(01:26):
I don't even think I was in thesame headspace.
I was literally like five daysaway from having shoulder
surgery.
If y'all been with us the wholejourney, it's been a goddamn
crazy roller coaster Gained afew friends, lost a few friends,
lost a few loved ones Lifeprogresses.
(01:50):
Back to this Monday.
I was addressed with thisquestion.
This situation came up.
Let me give y'all a littlestory time.
This person told me hey, I'mtired as fuck, but I got a
little date.
I said oh cool, that's what'sup.
Shit, more power to you.
(02:11):
Shout out to your new date yeah, I'm just tired as fuck.
Shit, I got to go.
You know, get all this donebefore I go see him.
Okay, wait a minute.
Wait a minute, let's rewindthis story.
So he ain't helping you moveall this shit.
He ain't helping you pack upall this shit.
He ain't helping you move yourfurniture.
(02:31):
So let me get this shitstraight for you.
You really fucking with a niggathat can help you move
furniture, but can't help youmove furniture.
If that's too much over y'all'sheads, let me break it down to
you.
You giving up dick or pussy,whichever way you want to,
(02:55):
goddamn give it up to amotherfucker that can't help you
when you need help.
Make it make sense, because oneplus one don't equal two.
Because in my mind, shit, ifI'm in a bond, if I'm doing X, y
, z, if I'm fucking with you onany capacity, any level, you
(03:18):
should be able to look out forme or fuck with me.
The same way I fuck with you inmy time of need or my time of
help, or even volunteer yourservices, even if you can't be
there.
Help me in some type of way.
Pay for the U-Haul, pay for twomen in a truck, pay for the
motherfuckers and help me.
Come put this shit on the truckor come volunteer your time to
(03:39):
help me move this shit around.
Because I can't understand thatwhole concept, because I'm good
enough for you to give me somedick or pussy, but I can't get
you to help me in my time ofneed.
That shit don't add up.
I mean that breaks everythingdown.
To fuck with people, how theyfuck with you.
Give them the same energy thatyou require for them to fuck
(04:02):
with you, because if you don'tthat, you require for them to
fuck with you.
Because if you don't, that'show you know.
If they don't give you thatenergy and sometimes they fuck
with you in a different capacity, don't fuck with them in that
same light.
I mean, gauge how you fuck withpeople, and that's on all
relationships, allsituationships, even with family
members.
Fuck with them how they fuckwith you.
(04:23):
Give out the energy they'regiving you in return.
I know a lot of times I'm goingto tell me all the time You're
supposed to turn the other cheek.
You keep turning the othercheek and that shit keeps going
out the window.
Are you still going to besitting here blindsided by them
not wanting to help you in yourtime of need it?
(04:43):
Just to me, it just don't makesense to keep giving the energy
to them because, at the end ofthe day, why am I still
volunteering my energy, my time,my presence to those that don't
value me?
In that same light, retrospect,say you're on the other side of
(05:05):
the scales If that person isgiving, giving, giving, giving
or taking, taking, taking,taking away from you but never
trying to balance out.
I'm not saying just monetary,I'm talking about time, effort,
even looking out for you whenyou are having your down days,
hey, but I'm going to tell youlike this you better open your
(05:26):
eyes and count your blessings,because a lot of people don't
get that same energy back thatthey give out, even when they
just try to do the little smallshit.
If you fucking shit on them, whythe fuck would they keep giving
their time, their effort, theirpresence to those that don't
value it or to those that slapthem in the face once it's got
(05:46):
done.
Everything's said and done.
That shit don't add up.
That shit ain't one plus one,because I mean shit.
You keep taking and taking andtaking.
Usually you run out of gas.
Usually you run out of givesand fucks.
Usually you run out of you knowwhat fuck this shit I'm out.
Or, on another note, shit thatperson might got now choose to
(06:09):
take their asses out their shitelsewhere, because next thing
you know, another motherfuckermight value their time and their
efforts and their presence morethan you did.
So Nipsey Hussle said avaluable thing once upon a time
A person that loves you todayCan love somebody else tomorrow.
In, in layman's terms, a $100bill is going to be a $100 bill.
(06:38):
That person at face value isgoing to be that person at face
value.
So don't shit on that personbecause they got a kind heart.
Or you don't understand the waythey move, or you're so
blindsided by your ignoranceTake that shit into a full
account, because if you don'tshit, what you going to do next?
(06:58):
Keep using, keep takingadvantage.
Don't be no goofy motherfuckerand just try to give your all
into a motherfucker out herenowadays, because a lot of these
goofy motherfuckers out herey'all are just here for help.
They ain't here to make youfeel whole.
(07:18):
They ain't here to help youfeel present.
They ain't here to make youfeel whole.
They ain't here to help youfeel present.
They ain't here to make youfeel good about yourself.
They here to take Make be aUnderstand your blessings is
your blessings at certain times,but don't confuse blessings
(07:41):
with genuine people.
You hear me?
Don't confuse blessings withgenuine people, because genuine
people will continue to fuckwith you the same way you fuck
with them.
They will reciprocate theenergies that you fuck how you
fuck with them.
So, hey, like I have a partner.
(08:01):
I told him like this hey, if Ijoke with you, I look out for
you, I fuck with you, fuck withme.
And guess what?
He shows his support indifferent ways.
Like any venture that I have,you're like shit, I like that
shit.
How much one cost?
No, not how much it cost you.
(08:23):
How much are you wanting for it.
He ordered two phone cases forme, even though I felt like the
price range was high.
He still ordered them for me,he said, because he liked that
shit.
And at the same time time, whenhe was down, I told him hey man,
(08:43):
what the fuck you down for?
They want to see you down.
Pick your motherfucking chin up.
Don't let these motherfuckerssee you, goddamn, at your low
point.
Pick your motherfucking chin up.
I called him yesterday and toldhim hey man, man, how you doing
?
I sent you something onInstagram.
(09:04):
He said what?
I ain't been checking myInstagram.
I said just check it.
It told him people will dwellon your people.
Let me think about the way itwas.
I mean, let me look it up.
Ah, here it was.
I mean, let me look it up.
Ah, here it goes.
I joke about my traumas soothers can't down me for my
(09:25):
traumas.
Keep your head up, gangster.
We joke about our traumas.
We make light of our traumas.
We make light of our flaws.
We understand our flaws, weembrace our flaws.
We embrace our flaws, so yougoofy motherfuckers can't use
them against us.
(09:45):
Now let that sit there andmarinate, because I know my
flaws, I know my fucked up ways.
But how can I embrace my fuckedup ways to make me better To
understand?
Because if I don't understandmy flaws and my fucked up ways,
how can I tend to grow?
Because anything broken can befixed.
Anything with tape on it can bemended, just like when you look
(10:10):
at a goddamn wall that'ssupposed to hold back water, a
dam.
If it got a little crack in it,you can goddamn put cement over
top of that motherfucker, andit will hold.
Let that marinate, becausepeople will keep chipping away
at your flaws and tell everygoofy motherfucker that will
listen your flaws, but theyain't going to tell the real
(10:31):
shit about you.
They ain't going to tell youthe good shit about you.
So what is it that we sit hereand do?
Do I sit here and just dwell,dwell, dwell, dwell, dwell and
feel sorry for myself?
Nah, shit, I still walk over myhead, I still I smile about my
flaws, because nobody's perfect,nobody.
(10:53):
There was only one perfectindividual on this earth and he
died for our sins.
And a lot of people fail torealize that.
Because I mean, like this dayand age, unless Jesus was
reincarnated, shit, ain't nobodyon this motherfucker perfect.
(11:14):
I mean shit.
We got flaws, no matter whichway you paint it, which way you
draw that shit on a piece ofpaper, whatever.
We all come with our bullshit.
We all come with our flaws.
We all come from our chinks andour own.
But it's how you try to improveyourself and understand those
flaws and grow on those flaws,to make them better, to embrace
them, to understand that hey,yes, I have flaws but I'm not a
(11:34):
bad person.
Yes, I have flaws but I can dothe job.
Yes, I might fuck up but Ican't fix it.
So what are you going to do?
You're going to sit there andlet these motherfuckers tell you
what you can and can't do, oryou're going to stand in your
two and grow?
Are you going to stand up andlet these motherfuckers know who
the fuck you are?
(11:55):
The reason why some of thesethings are true is because the
way people move you have tounderstand.
To understand people only fuckwith you, sometimes to only
benefit them, instead of aconglomerate to actually
generally fuck with you.
So a lot of times you have togauge them off of being them,
(12:16):
and it's ridiculous.
That's not the way I was raised.
I mean you generally fuck withsomebody because you actually
fuck with them, not because ofthe benefit that they provide.
I was told something amazingthis morning, which is crazy
because, man, I see how peoplehave.
(12:37):
You know they chase what theywant to chase.
You know they chase what theywant to chase.
I found it hilarious becausethis person told me somebody
asked if, for Valentine's Day,if they took somebody out they
aren't even dating Take somebodyout, they would give them head
(13:05):
for taking them to Applebee's.
Hilarious because that actuallyshows the person has no moral
compass or no value inthemselves.
Just to even say that they'llsuck your dick just to get, just
to get a meal or just to feelspecial for 2.35 seconds, that's
, that's, that's absolutelypreposterous.
It's absolutely ridiculous thatsomebody would, like you would,
put somebody's penis in yourmouth just for a fucking 20
dollar meal not even that.
So I mean, what do you gauge itoff of?
Because I mean the day and agethat we live in, shit.
(13:29):
What is your value?
The only thing you ought to dois get a nut?
That's preposterous.
I mean shit If that's all youvalue yourself is a $20 meal.
Shit, I'm sorry, shit.
I couldn't Because I want toput my.
I mean I value my peace, mypeace of mind and my mental
(13:49):
fortitude Shit, not even that.
I value my health Shit.
I ain't got time to be goddamnhaving bumps and blisters and
goddamn all this shit pussingout my lip just because I want a
fucking hot meal and feelspecial out from somebody.
Hell, I can make myself feelspecial, put myself on the
pedestal.
I mean, how do you valueyourself?
Do you value yourself and yourimportance that fucking low,
(14:10):
just for a motherfucker to takeyou out for a two for 20?
A sampler plate?
What do you value yourself as?
I mean?
Shit, god damn.
Put a couple hours in thereworking and you can take
yourself out to make yourselffeel special If it's that
necessary.
I'm sorry, shit, if you got to,I mean, but that's what you deal
(14:30):
with when you deal with certainindividuals that they do not
value themselves.
So you've got to understand.
Sometimes, face value, ahundred dollars is a hundred
dollars, but sometimes thescales may be weighed.
Sometimes you've got tounderstand and pick somebody's
brain to see what they valueyourselves is.
But pause, let's wake this shitup.
Let's rewind this shit.
Since this shit is Valentine'sDay, don't get this shit
(14:53):
misconstrued.
You might treat somebodyspecial, give them the world.
You might give them roses,balloons, candies, chocolate
covered strawberries, a goddamnbow cap from what's that place
called, with the little fruitand the goddamn decorations and
shit, just for them to go fucksomebody else in the back seat
of a car.
I mean, but that's that showsyou.
You can get somebody to whirl,but they can go fuck somebody in
(15:15):
the back seat of the car justbecause they want a nut.
Is that really how they valuethemselves?
Is that really where they putthemselves on that pedestal?
Is that really their standardof life?
Ask yourself that before youfuck with these goddamn random
individuals, because a lot ofpeople do not value themselves
in this day and age.
So, understanding this thing,how do you value yourself?
(15:38):
Do you value yourself as aquick net or do you value
yourself on a pedestal?
I'm not talking about beingsnooty and all that shit.
Do you value yourself as aquick nut or do you value
yourself on a pedestal?
I'm not talking about beingsnooty and all that shit.
It's how do you value yourselfand where do you hold yourself
to a certain standard?
Because if you're that ignorantto hold yourself for a quick
nut man, we ain't in the sameroom, we ain't in the same
category.
We ain't even in the sameboxing ring.
(15:59):
It's not even about hustle andgrind.
It's how you view yourself.
What do you place your value asa human being?
You a $20 motherfucker.
You a $20 nut, you a $10 nut.
That's all you hold yourself to.
I'm sorry to keep rewindingthat shit.
I just find that shitabsolutely preposterous Because
(16:22):
if I fought with you, I foughtwith you.
Shit, I can go.
I mean anybody can go out hereand get a quick nut, even
homeless folks out here gettinga quick nut.
I mean the folks that have noambition, no drive, no anything
can go out here and get a quicknut, but how do you value
yourself?
So ask yourself that throughoutthis day on this Motivational
(16:44):
Monday, how do you valueyourself?
So ask yourself that throughoutthis day on this motivational
Monday, how do you valueyourself?
What standard do you placeyourself at?
Or do you feel like that's allyou have to offer?
If that's all you have to offer, man, turn my shit off right
now.
I'm serious, man, because, shit, you have no value in yourself
as a human being.
I mean shit.
I'm sorry.
I mean sometimes you might needto take your ass back to that
(17:17):
drawing board, sit back and dosome self-reflection.
If all you value yourself is andall you good for is a quick nut
, just saying Because I meanshit, I'd rather not get no ass,
not get no mouth, not getnothing, that is stooped so low
just to fuck somebody for aquick meal, just saying, because
that shit don't go hand in handat all, man, that shit is
demeaning.
Because I mean, what do youhave after you catch that quick
nut?
Do you have conversation?
(17:37):
Or do you wait for thatmotherfucker to take you to
Mickey D so he can get anotherquick nut in your throat?
So now he can be your Oral B?
Because in my mind, shit,that's all you are is a
toothbrush.
So what do you value yourself at?
And shit, nah, let's go aheadand flip that side.
On the other thing, that meanson that man's part that man is a
(17:59):
dirty dick bastard.
That mean that motherfuckerwill go fuck anything any way,
shape, form or fashion.
If he'll just fuck you for $10or a quick meal and that's all
he values you at, that's allhe'll ever see you with and,
honestly, that's all he has tooffer is a quick nut and $20.
So where we at at this point,where are you at at this point
(18:22):
on this Motivational Monday.
So just understand, sit at thedesk and ask yourself do you
fuck with people that truly fuckwith you?
Or are you just a quick nut atApplebee's?
So understand, I mean, what thefuck are you care for?
Thank you for this MotivationalMonday from Foe Steppas.

So he ain't helping you moveall this shit.
He ain't helping you pack upall this shit.
He ain't helping you move yourfurniture.
(02:31):
So let me get this shitstraight for you.
You really fucking with a niggathat can help you move
furniture, but can't help youmove furniture.
If that's too much over y'all'sheads, let me break it down to
you.
You giving up dick or pussy,whichever way you want to,
(02:55):
goddamn give it up to amotherfucker that can't help you

They ain't here to make youfeel good about yourself.
They here to take Make be aUnderstand your blessings is

You hear me?
Don't confuse blessings withgenuine people, because genuine
people will continue to fuckwith you the same way you fuck
with them.
They will reciprocate theenergies that you fuck how you
fuck with them.
So, hey, like I have a partner.
(08:01):
I told him like this hey, if Ijoke with you, I look out for
you, I fuck with you, fuck withme.
And guess what?
He shows his support indifferent ways.
Like any venture that I have,you're like shit, I like that
shit.
How much one cost?
No, not how much it cost you.
(08:23):
How much are you wanting for it.
He ordered two phone cases forme, even though I felt like the
price range was high.
He still ordered them for me,he said, because he liked that
shit.
And at the same time time, whenhe was down, I told him hey man,
(08:43):
what the fuck you down for?
They want to see you down.
Pick your motherfucking chin up.
Don't let these motherfuckerssee you, goddamn, at your low
point.
Pick your motherfucking chin up.
I called him yesterday and toldhim hey man, man, how you doing
?
I sent you something onInstagram.
(09:04):
He said what?
I ain't been checking myInstagram.
I said just check it.
It told him people will dwellon your people.
Let me think about the way itwas.
I mean, let me look it up.
Ah, here it was.
I mean, let me look it up.
Ah, here it goes.
I joke about my traumas soothers can't down me for my
(09:25):
traumas.
Keep your head up, gangster.
We joke about our traumas.
We make light of our traumas.
We make light of our flaws.
We understand our flaws, weembrace our flaws.
We embrace our flaws, so yougoofy motherfuckers can't use
them against us.
(09:45):
Now let that sit there andmarinate, because I know my
flaws, I know my fucked up ways.
But how can I embrace my fuckedup ways to make me better To
understand?
Because if I don't understandmy flaws and my fucked up ways,
how can I tend to grow?
Because anything broken can befixed.
Anything with tape on it can bemended, just like when you look
(10:10):
at a goddamn wall that'ssupposed to hold back water, a
dam.
If it got a little crack in it,you can goddamn put cement over
top of that motherfucker, andit will hold.
Let that marinate, becausepeople will keep chipping away
at your flaws and tell everygoofy motherfucker that will
listen your flaws, but theyain't going to tell the real
(10:31):
shit about you.
They ain't going to tell youthe good shit about you.
So what is it that we sit hereand do?
Do I sit here and just dwell,dwell, dwell, dwell, dwell and
feel sorry for myself?
Nah, shit, I still walk over myhead, I still I smile about my
flaws, because nobody's perfect,nobody.
(10:53):
There was only one perfectindividual on this earth and he
died for our sins.
And a lot of people fail torealize that.
Because I mean, like this dayand age, unless Jesus was
reincarnated, shit, ain't nobodyon this motherfucker perfect.
(11:14):
I mean shit.
We got flaws, no matter whichway you paint it, which way you
draw that shit on a piece ofpaper, whatever.
We all come with our bullshit.
We all come with our flaws.
We all come from our chinks andour own.
But it's how you try to improveyourself and understand those
flaws and grow on those flaws,to make them better, to embrace
them, to understand that hey,yes, I have flaws but I'm not a
(11:34):
bad person.
Yes, I have flaws but I can dothe job.
Yes, I might fuck up but Ican't fix it.
So what are you going to do?
You're going to sit there andlet these motherfuckers tell you
what you can and can't do, oryou're going to stand in your
two and grow?
Are you going to stand up andlet these motherfuckers know who
the fuck you are?
(11:55):
The reason why some of thesethings are true is because the
way people move you have tounderstand.
To understand people only fuckwith you, sometimes to only
benefit them, instead of aconglomerate to actually
generally fuck with you.
So a lot of times you have togauge them off of being them,
(12:16):
and it's ridiculous.
That's not the way I was raised.
I mean you generally fuck withsomebody because you actually
fuck with them, not because ofthe benefit that they provide.
I was told something amazingthis morning, which is crazy
because, man, I see how peoplehave.
(12:37):
You know they chase what theywant to chase.
You know they chase what theywant to chase.
I found it hilarious becausethis person told me somebody
asked if, for Valentine's Day,if they took somebody out they
aren't even dating Take somebodyout, they would give them head
(13:05):
for taking them to Applebee's.
Hilarious because that actuallyshows the person has no moral
compass or no value inthemselves.
Just to even say that they'llsuck your dick just to get, just
to get a meal or just to feelspecial for 2.35 seconds, that's
, that's, that's absolutelypreposterous.
It's absolutely ridiculous thatsomebody would, like you would,
put somebody's penis in yourmouth just for a fucking 20
dollar meal not even that.
So I mean, what do you gauge itoff of?
Because I mean the day and agethat we live in, shit.
(13:29):
What is your value?
The only thing you ought to dois get a nut?
That's preposterous.
I mean shit If that's all youvalue yourself is a $20 meal.
Shit, I'm sorry, shit.
I couldn't Because I want toput my.
I mean I value my peace, mypeace of mind and my mental
(13:49):
fortitude Shit, not even that.
I value my health Shit.
I ain't got time to be goddamnhaving bumps and blisters and
goddamn all this shit pussingout my lip just because I want a
fucking hot meal and feelspecial out from somebody.
Hell, I can make myself feelspecial, put myself on the
pedestal.
I mean, how do you valueyourself?
Do you value yourself and yourimportance that fucking low,
(14:10):
just for a motherfucker to takeyou out for a two for 20?
A sampler plate?
What do you value yourself as?
I mean?
Shit, god damn.
Put a couple hours in thereworking and you can take
yourself out to make yourselffeel special If it's that
necessary.
I'm sorry, shit, if you got to,I mean, but that's what you deal
(14:30):
with when you deal with certainindividuals that they do not
value themselves.
So you've got to understand.
Sometimes, face value, ahundred dollars is a hundred
dollars, but sometimes thescales may be weighed.
Sometimes you've got tounderstand and pick somebody's
brain to see what they valueyourselves is.
But pause, let's wake this shitup.
Let's rewind this shit.
Since this shit is Valentine'sDay, don't get this shit
(14:53):
misconstrued.
You might treat somebodyspecial, give them the world.
You might give them roses,balloons, candies, chocolate
covered strawberries, a goddamnbow cap from what's that place
called, with the little fruitand the goddamn decorations and
shit, just for them to go fucksomebody else in the back seat
of a car.
I mean, but that's that showsyou.
You can get somebody to whirl,but they can go fuck somebody in
(15:15):
the back seat of the car justbecause they want a nut.
Is that really how they valuethemselves?
Is that really where they putthemselves on that pedestal?
Is that really their standardof life?
Ask yourself that before youfuck with these goddamn random
individuals, because a lot ofpeople do not value themselves
in this day and age.
So, understanding this thing,how do you value yourself?
(15:38):
Do you value yourself as aquick net or do you value
yourself on a pedestal?
I'm not talking about beingsnooty and all that shit.
Do you value yourself as aquick nut or do you value
yourself on a pedestal?
I'm not talking about beingsnooty and all that shit.
It's how do you value yourselfand where do you hold yourself
to a certain standard?
Because if you're that ignorantto hold yourself for a quick
nut man, we ain't in the sameroom, we ain't in the same
category.
We ain't even in the sameboxing ring.
(15:59):
It's not even about hustle andgrind.
It's how you view yourself.
What do you place your value asa human being?
You a $20 motherfucker.
You a $20 nut, you a $10 nut.
That's all you hold yourself to.
I'm sorry to keep rewindingthat shit.
I just find that shitabsolutely preposterous Because
(16:22):
if I fought with you, I foughtwith you.
Shit, I can go.
I mean anybody can go out hereand get a quick nut, even
homeless folks out here gettinga quick nut.
I mean the folks that have noambition, no drive, no anything
can go out here and get a quicknut, but how do you value
yourself?
So ask yourself that throughoutthis day on this Motivational
(16:44):
Monday, how do you valueyourself?
So ask yourself that throughoutthis day on this motivational
Monday, how do you valueyourself?
What standard do you placeyourself at?
Or do you feel like that's allyou have to offer?
If that's all you have to offer, man, turn my shit off right
now.
I'm serious, man, because, shit, you have no value in yourself
as a human being.
I mean shit.
I'm sorry.
I mean sometimes you might needto take your ass back to that
(17:17):
drawing board, sit back and dosome self-reflection.
If all you value yourself is andall you good for is a quick nut
, just saying Because I meanshit, I'd rather not get no ass,
not get no mouth, not getnothing, that is stooped so low
just to fuck somebody for aquick meal, just saying, because
that shit don't go hand in handat all, man, that shit is
demeaning.
Because I mean, what do youhave after you catch that quick
nut?
Do you have conversation?
(17:37):
Or do you wait for thatmotherfucker to take you to
Mickey D so he can get anotherquick nut in your throat?
So now he can be your Oral B?
Because in my mind, shit,that's all you are is a
toothbrush.
So what do you value yourself at?
And shit, nah, let's go aheadand flip that side.
On the other thing, that meanson that man's part that man is a
(17:59):
dirty dick bastard.
That mean that motherfuckerwill go fuck anything any way,
shape, form or fashion.
If he'll just fuck you for $10or a quick meal and that's all
he values you at, that's allhe'll ever see you with and,
honestly, that's all he has tooffer is a quick nut and $20.
So where we at at this point,where are you at at this point
(18:22):
on this Motivational Monday.
So just understand, sit at thedesk and ask yourself do you
fuck with people that truly fuckwith you?
Or are you just a quick nut atApplebee's?
So understand, I mean, what thefuck are you care for?
Thank you for this MotivationalMonday from Foe Steppas.
(18:45):
Only we out Peace.
