I do want to say that couragebegins when you realize that you have
it. You know, courage growsstronger the more it is used. Everyone
has spears and everyone has the capacityfor courage. Courage require no special skill
(02:14):
or training. Courage is what happenswhen you take action in spite of your
fears. Courage comes from when youare willing to learn from your fears,
to make prudent adjustments based on whatthose spears tell you, and to be
pushed forward by those spears rather thanheld back by them. Yeah. Absolutely,
(02:36):
So take the first courageous step forwardand then the second step will easily
follow. By the time you getto the fifth or sixth step, it
starts to become an automatic, orbecomes as automatic as the power of your
courage. Becomes clearly evident. Courageis a choice which cannot be denied to
you by anyone other than yourself.No person or circumstance can prevent you from
(03:00):
making use of your courage. Itis yours when you choose to tap into
its power. So connect with yourcourage and discover what an enormous difference it
can make in your life and inyour world. Take that from me,

(09:22):
deals with personal hardships, justice andredemption. What was the emotional process like
when when you begin writing the song, Oh, Man, I was,
I was really hurt, man,I was. I was going through I
feel like the worst part of mylife. I was. I was locked
(09:45):
up. I was locked up,and when I was locked up, it
was like I lost my mom.I was, man, I was not
a murder man. You know,it's crazy because I talked about all the
time, but it's like this timeit's I was not up for murder of
capital capital murder. I was atthe foremost two years so in the process
of doing it, being locked up, I had lost my mother, my
(10:11):
sister, and two of my bestbest friends. And when I when I
when that happened, man, ittolt me apart, bro, Like you
know, being behind that wall andjust seeing like just seeing everything that seeing
everything else going through. Bro.I don't know, you know, somebody
(10:33):
else behind us, behind the wallor anything. But it's like when you're
behind that wall, Bro, youfeel like everybody's saying, hey, man,
forget him. You know what I'msaying, Like I'm locked up for
murder, I'm locked up further,I'm I'm I'm I'm fighting for my life
behind this wall. And I justtept like everybody you know said forget me.
(10:54):
Oh man, he's a murderer andall all type of stuff, and
I just on a long Bro.I felt like I was in a dark
place, like I didn't have nobodyand I needed somebody, you know.
Then you get our call home andfind out that my mom died. Man,
that that that tore my soul apart. And so I remember just right
(11:15):
I was laying I was laying downand this melody came to my head.
And when I got the melody down, pack out the lyrics came, and
I just remember crying, bro,like this is it right here? I
remember one day us and when whenwe locked up in out in ourselves and
in our jails night every other nightwe called it up, put it on
the door. And that's when allthe rappers and singers in the pod,
(11:37):
then you know, showcase the talent. So I remember when I first hit
that song, man, and everybody, Man, I'm telling the hardest folks
would meet crying. Man, youknow what I'm saying, And it made
me feel good that I could reachthem and help them feel good about their
situation. So I need somebody,just it's it's it's that song right there,
personally, out of all the songs, everything to me. Man,
(11:58):
Man, what is it dude foryou? When you listen back to it?
Man, it gives me chills everytime I'm talking about everything and every
legal time it never things. Bro, I had to stop myself from crying
every time I hear that song.Bro. That song has been out for
(12:18):
how long now, and I'm stillthere every time I perform it. It's
it's it's it's a breakdown for me. Man. This that song is everything
to me because of the story behindit, what I went through when I
wrote it, how I wrote it, where I wrote it. You're understand
what I was talking about in thesong. You know my mother, you
know being a concerated you know,my first and only child, my daughter
(12:41):
being born, and I missed that, you know, people turning their back
on me, fighting for my life. You know what I'm saying. All
that is in the song. AndI believe God gave me that song and
it and it helped me to toneand and and and and put some some
type of relief on the stress thatI was going through in that in that
song. Yeah, what was someof your mother's favorite music? Man?
(13:05):
I don't gonna listen to everything.Man, I ain't gonna lie Saturday nights
to clean up nights. He hadto clean the whole house. I don't
care what was doing. Couldn't gooutside that it will get up. She'll
cut on that music. Man.We're be like, Mom, can I
know we're gonna listen. He ain'tgonna listen to that hippy hoppy stuff.
Man, you don't listen to that. That was called a hippy hoppy.
(13:26):
But then she ain't gonna listen toall that. You're gonna you gonna,
You're gonna listen to every job wherethere is. He listened to Rocks and
listen to that. But I believeinto this day is my is my favorite
job. I believe her favorite jobwas reggae because we always listened to rega.
We will all listen to reggae bass, So it's like that was that
(13:46):
was her. Her dream was alwaysto go to Jamaica. That's why it's
my dream too to go to Jamaica. So it's like that we we But
I grew up listening to all jobbro. I didn't just listen to rap,
R and B whatever. I listenedto pop. I listened to rock,
country, read gospel like jazz,like I listened to all the type
of man given given that background,especially with your mother pumping that different influence
(14:09):
inside of you. Do you thinkthat's why your music is so multi dimensional?
Yes, I totally think so.You know, I think that she
knew what she was doing. She'sseen a vision to me, she's seen
the vision for me, and she'sseen the future for me. So it's

that, bro, and I didit all behind the wall and feelings dam
yeah yeah. Let me ask youthis, man, do you think every

maybe something like it where they haveno opportunity and they have to learn about

has spears and everyone has the capacityfor courage. Courage require no special skill
(02:14):
or training. Courage is what happenswhen you take action in spite of your
fears. Courage comes from when youare willing to learn from your fears,
to make prudent adjustments based on whatthose spears tell you, and to be
pushed forward by those spears rather thanheld back by them. Yeah. Absolutely,
(02:36):
So take the first courageous step forwardand then the second step will easily
follow. By the time you getto the fifth or sixth step, it
starts to become an automatic, orbecomes as automatic as the power of your
courage. Becomes clearly evident. Courageis a choice which cannot be denied to
you by anyone other than yourself.No person or circumstance can prevent you from
(03:00):
making use of your courage. Itis yours when you choose to tap into
its power. So connect with yourcourage and discover what an enormous difference it
can make in your life and inyour world. Take that from me,
Costini. That is my word,and word is fun. Have you struggled

right, man, So I needsomebody. It's an emotional roller coaster that
(09:22):
deals with personal hardships, justice andredemption. What was the emotional process like
when when you begin writing the song, Oh, Man, I was,
I was really hurt, man,I was. I was going through I
feel like the worst part of mylife. I was. I was locked
(09:45):
up. I was locked up,and when I was locked up, it
was like I lost my mom.I was, man, I was not
a murder man. You know,it's crazy because I talked about all the
time, but it's like this timeit's I was not up for murder of
capital capital murder. I was atthe foremost two years so in the process
of doing it, being locked up, I had lost my mother, my
(10:11):
sister, and two of my bestbest friends. And when I when I
when that happened, man, ittolt me apart, bro, Like you
know, being behind that wall andjust seeing like just seeing everything that seeing
everything else going through. Bro.I don't know, you know, somebody
(10:33):
else behind us, behind the wallor anything. But it's like when you're
behind that wall, Bro, youfeel like everybody's saying, hey, man,
forget him. You know what I'msaying, Like I'm locked up for
murder, I'm locked up further,I'm I'm I'm I'm fighting for my life
behind this wall. And I justtept like everybody you know said forget me.
(10:54):
Oh man, he's a murderer andall all type of stuff, and
I just on a long Bro.I felt like I was in a dark
place, like I didn't have nobodyand I needed somebody, you know.
Then you get our call home andfind out that my mom died. Man,
that that that tore my soul apart. And so I remember just right
(11:15):
I was laying I was laying downand this melody came to my head.
And when I got the melody down, pack out the lyrics came, and
I just remember crying, bro,like this is it right here? I
remember one day us and when whenwe locked up in out in ourselves and
in our jails night every other nightwe called it up, put it on
the door. And that's when allthe rappers and singers in the pod,
(11:37):
then you know, showcase the talent. So I remember when I first hit
that song, man, and everybody, Man, I'm telling the hardest folks
would meet crying. Man, youknow what I'm saying, And it made
me feel good that I could reachthem and help them feel good about their
situation. So I need somebody,just it's it's it's that song right there,
personally, out of all the songs, everything to me. Man,
(11:58):
Man, what is it dude foryou? When you listen back to it?
Man, it gives me chills everytime I'm talking about everything and every
legal time it never things. Bro, I had to stop myself from crying
every time I hear that song.Bro. That song has been out for
(12:18):
how long now, and I'm stillthere every time I perform it. It's
it's it's it's a breakdown for me. Man. This that song is everything
to me because of the story behindit, what I went through when I
wrote it, how I wrote it, where I wrote it. You're understand
what I was talking about in thesong. You know my mother, you
know being a concerated you know,my first and only child, my daughter
(12:41):
being born, and I missed that, you know, people turning their back
on me, fighting for my life. You know what I'm saying. All
that is in the song. AndI believe God gave me that song and
it and it helped me to toneand and and and and put some some
type of relief on the stress thatI was going through in that in that
song. Yeah, what was someof your mother's favorite music? Man?
(13:05):
I don't gonna listen to everything.Man, I ain't gonna lie Saturday nights
to clean up nights. He hadto clean the whole house. I don't
care what was doing. Couldn't gooutside that it will get up. She'll
cut on that music. Man.We're be like, Mom, can I
know we're gonna listen. He ain'tgonna listen to that hippy hoppy stuff.
Man, you don't listen to that. That was called a hippy hoppy.
(13:26):
But then she ain't gonna listen toall that. You're gonna you gonna,
You're gonna listen to every job wherethere is. He listened to Rocks and
listen to that. But I believeinto this day is my is my favorite
job. I believe her favorite jobwas reggae because we always listened to rega.
We will all listen to reggae bass, So it's like that was that
(13:46):
was her. Her dream was alwaysto go to Jamaica. That's why it's
my dream too to go to Jamaica. So it's like that we we But
I grew up listening to all jobbro. I didn't just listen to rap,
R and B whatever. I listenedto pop. I listened to rock,
country, read gospel like jazz,like I listened to all the type
of man given given that background,especially with your mother pumping that different influence
(14:09):
inside of you. Do you thinkthat's why your music is so multi dimensional?
Yes, I totally think so.You know, I think that she
knew what she was doing. She'sseen a vision to me, she's seen
the vision for me, and she'sseen the future for me. So it's
just like, hey, I'm gonnahelp this, but he don't even know

that, bro, and I didit all behind the wall and feelings dam
yeah yeah. Let me ask youthis, man, do you think every

maybe something like it where they haveno opportunity and they have to learn about
(23:23):
appreciation. I have to work onmary craft their skill. You know,
