The Trick Bag-Probation

I mean, probation is designed to It's like in traveling. Um, you know what I didn't know about probation, then I could have did a year and a half of probation and go back to court and get off. I did the whole damnit in three years of the game probation, which supposed to be the hardest probation they have. So you know, it was a lot of rules to this ship, you know, being on that type of probation, you know, couldn't get caught up with three of the shame people

that that I hang with. It couldn't be game bangers, should I say, Um, they was able to come in your house at any time they wanted to, just just all different type of ship. So pretty much when you said they can come in your house whenever you want to. So that means you could be sitting at home pretty much killing with your girl or something like that. Nick is knock on your door, just come in. Yeah, they come in, say we wanted to visit. It's like a

pop up visit. Uh, come on, take me to your room, show me where you sleep, which they pretty much know already they're going there. They look through your drawers, look up one of your mattress. They do all kind of a a little ship just to see how you live in. If you got bullets in your room, they're taking your ass to jail. A knife ship like that, so you can't have no no shy knives and none of that

ship any wrong. So pretty much if they want to be just real pity and you got a little pocket knife on the dressing the people usually have, they got like a nail clipper and everything else and lots what's on me lass, they could technically take you back in for that provig They could take you to jail for whatever pretty much they want to. You know, data ones with the pencil. They can say, okay, you you got the homeboy over here. You ain't supposed to be around him,

but a minute. My brothers are gang bangers. So you're telling me I gave me in the same house with you, they just don't be there. When when they would come and you wound up getting volulated pretty much and wanted back to go do two years in prison. Yeah you want, you want to let rim a little bit? What At that time, I'm dang banging like like it's the thing to do. And they wanted me to come in for a visit. At that time, I was involved in all kind of ships, so I didn't know if somebody they

had it like a hook up. Guard wanted me to come in to arrest me. So I was like that that ain't going in there. I'm not working with y'all, and stop asking the car. I didn't get out of the letters, none of that ship they were sending in and they was coming by the house, but I was missing him, and uh when they finally called me, they sent me to the county jail. I went to my hand. I'm I'm clowning telling everybody, I'm only gonna be in in fifteen days. I only got like fifteen sixteen days.

She they gave me a year for every week I didn't come and and It was crazy because I just knew they couldn't do that. Whish they couldn't have did that. I didn't have that much provision. So you pretty much said, let me read the rate for the people out there. You had fifteen days of probation left. I had fifteen days and I was supposed to either go to court or get that letter. And they they sent me to prison. Wow,

they sent me to prison old robbery case. And uh, I pretty much did the whole, the whole goddamn thing after the little time that I did, you know, fighting the case, and then took the deprobation and got out and I was good for then until they wanted to just they funk with you, and you just get tired of going down they're going through that process and giving them that fifteen bucks or whatever the case it was, and and just sitting there listening to the mother and

tell you what you ain't and what you can't do. So it was just like, do whatever you're gonna do. And I just thought it wasn't that much that you do with that short period of time. So they they pulled the switch on me. So so you pretty much, man, you wind up doing two years man behind fifteen days, man, And that seems just so unfair. Man. I know that, Um, the system is definitely broken the country, man, because first of all, there's not a uniform system across the country.

You would think was something like that, it would be a uniform system across the country like for example, and um, Oklahoma a man, like it reads right here, the cost of is up. Cost and prisons right overcrowded prisons is projected the skyrocket in the next decade, the decade of corrections request at one point five billion dollars next year to address loan to collect the refairs and build to a new prison to keep up with the current rate

of inmate growth. They have so much growth in the city of the state of Oklahoma right now that they need a billion dollars to actually add on to the facilities. Because the way with the system meals down there. Man, if you miss a payment, like I'm talking about, even on the traffic ticket, like you know you go to courting traffic ticket, if you miss a payment, they come and put you in jail. They can but one of

the things. But I noticed you know that they can do that, but usually they send you a letter report to your credit man. Just the whole thing about putting people in jail over missing the paymon man, they're doing that. That ship, that's how they're doing um child support. You go to jail for child report. The system is designed to keep you at bay, to keep you on that edge, to keep you fucked up. It ain't it ain't. It ain't what they change you, uh rehab A little ship

like that. They're not helping you. Um should I say pages, restitution vibes and none of that other ship. I mean, it's just design to keep you funked up. If you chake my driver license because I can't pay this fine, how do I eat? And I'm a truck driver. If they don't give a funk, you just gotta get that money. You think about it like this, man, Like this is a trip. This is how it goes down home. As part of their release on the road, people leaving prison

are required to follow certain conditions the road. Conditions are meant to ensuring him to make successful re entrigued into her community. And we're talking about women because most of the people in prison women. But if these conditions are too explensive, expensive, they're fulfilling them falls out of reach for many, if not most. Every month, about six hundred inmates to come for role elisable, but only about two hundred one and three apply for it, estinisly passing up

opportunity for early release. This is in part because the ROD costs can add up quickly unless of parros, fees are Unless of p role, these fees are way for hardship. Anyone on par role in this state must pay forty dollars per month for DC supervision and addition the court finds and fees, as well as some additional amount of financial restitution depending on the offense, so you can wind up paying up three or four hundred dollars a month.

Some people don't got it. In addition to this, a parole lead may have to pay for the two years of drug tests, a GPS angle bracelet, a breath of lizer for their vehicle, and any cognitive behavioral therapy or classes which the parole board deems necessary for the release. These financial obstacles are often compounded by the fact that such a large resenting to those on parole has suspended driver's licensees, making attendant required meetings and maintaining employment remarkably difficult.

Some parole conditions are both necessary sery and reasonable, but a condition just make employment and paying bills more difficult. It's hard to see how they promote public safety. See this thing right here is crazy. Man. So you're telling me you just get out and they say it's usually for something petty, right, and they tell you, okay, you can want to road. Now, we're gonna need an ankle

bracelet for you. You have to pay for this. We'll give a drug test every month and this, and man, let's say it's fine for that was a month and you're only making a thousand. That was a month that didn't That ain't even the case. I just got out of prison. I just got out of jail. How do you expect me to pay all of this ship that you want me to pay and take care of myself down? You gotta think about where I'm living. It's it's like I said, man, it's not for you. It's all designed

for them. And you pretty much asked out. Man. If I didn't have a good woman when I got out of prison, out have been up. She creek. You You you gotta get out there and get it the best way you can because you can't paid. You don't have you don't have them. You don't have the needs for it. Yeah, exactly, man, because you just get out of jail, you know. And you know, man, I've talked to HOMEI Man, they just got out. Man, um I had one only man he couldn't even get a job of the walmart because he

was actually he got so frustrated with the system. He living his application. Right, you got to lie, you know, he was living. He living his application and check this out. Now he was cool. He actually worked in one store. Man worked his way up to becoming a manager. They transferred him to a different store, right, he got another promotion. In promoting him, they had to run a background check on him. They didn't run an initial background check on

him because he came in as just a regular clerk. Right. They ran that background check on the came back, but he had a feili he eli but lost his job immediately. So when's the guys the post to do. It's like in this country, man, it seems like you go to jail for your punishment, You do your time, get out. You're still doing time. When does it stop? When did you stop paying for your You know what I'm saying, When do you stop being back your death to socigny.

You're gonna always pay for it. I've been out of princesses since and they tell me I can't vote. They tell me I can't register a gun. They tell me I can't do ship. If I went to be a security officer, I got up to three, I got up to thirty days. Ninety days after that, ninety days, I better go try to find another gig because every time I didn't. You can't work here. After that background check

name come through, you're done. So if that's all you know, you don't have no education, you don't have no no kind of uh, no kind of skills, mechanics, none of that. Ship man, you pretty much asked out because you can't do ship. You gotta go to the streets and eat. Yeah. Man, it's just crazy, you know. Like I said, Man, every place is different, Like California's system is different. Oklahoma, it seems like they got the worst system in the world. Man,

it ain't too much different. It's all designed the same way. Big still it is they they is designed to keep you off your feet, because if they really wanted to help you, just like going to prison. When I get out of prison two hundred bucks to where the fund is two hundred dollars gonna do for me getting back out here after being inconcerated all this time. You know, I ain't gonna get a job right off the back. You know, I can't do ship right off the back.

So then when you when you come home, you gotta you gotta follow all these rules that these motherfuckers sat down for you, so I can't start a job, and then I gotta come see you once a week. Ain't no new job gonna let me take off to come see you, you know what I'm saying. And then before I even get a bag check, I gotta pay you. So me it's like, man, fucking job, fuck this funk that it wouldn't happen that. Yeah, you know, it's crazy just about the old system period. Man. It seems like, man,

you actually they call it rehabilitation. Man, it seemed like it's actually the signed to really just fuck you over there. They have to keep you down, they have to it just it just gotta continue to be a cycle. Because if if if I'm rehabilitated and everybody else is with that prison just gonna sit there, so you gotta come back. So they think and the first thing that they said when I was being released, we see you, We'll see

you when you come back. I'm not coming back to this, but they tell everybody that because the majority of us, we go back. If it's just a violation, you going back. So we'll check this out. Man, How would you feel, man Um, You're a guy that comes from a background, You're getting your life together, right, You have an establishment, and you find out that your employee stealing from you. You get into an auditation with him and didn't want to put you in jail. How would you feel about that?

If I didn't, I didn't get it. If then if he's standing from me, yeah, he's stealing from you. So you got an employee, you you work hard, you're busting your ass, you get this establishment together, you got a story, right, and you find out your employee stealing from you. Actually, I got one of my homeboys here tonight right for my partners, and he was telling me about this story. Okay, some of y'all know me and some of y'all don't. My name is t Y. I'm also known as l

A Number one huspital Um. I have a company called fat Head, and I started out in l a in the streets, grinding, hustling with actually would have developed eighty pat and take it all the way to fifty birds, but lead at and I wouldn't legit. Never had no problems with the police. As far as I'm catching the case, I never did that, and I want legit started a business call fat Head opened up a store on mail rolls, FAD's clothing, um Art, posters for your wall, all kind

of different little things that I had created. Make a long story short. I had a twenty square foot warehouse out of North Hollywood, and I got a call one day from my girl while I was at my store, telling me my employees were still in at my factory. And because I had the store, I just recently opened it, I had took some of my employers from my factory out to the store work, so everybody knew each other from the factory to the store. So we um. When

I got that call. My guys that was at the store was like, man, should we want to go back to the to be rich? You? I really want to just go HND to myself. I don't have a problem hand myself, but they insisted, so we went back. The plan was for me to take the big guy and search him in the back end. My other two guys take the other guy and search him anyway. Um, they

both aske it on and they got their ass. What as a businessman I want to ask as a brother growing up in the street, knowing every obstacle I hadn't made it through. I slipped. I didn't handle it like a businessman. So really, like in the eyes of the law, just to go back, in the eyes of the law, you should have called the authorities. But that goes against every principle that we are talking growing up. You know, you don't call the police home, right? Was these your

partners are just some people you hired. These were some guys that have worked for me for three years. The ladies that came and told my girl they worked for me for five years, and some spanion cats and the Spanish ladies came and told, hey, they're still in the back building. What she called me? So when we went back, like I said, um, out of handle like a businessman. And it's all kind of ways of handle it. You know, I used to thank kind of stupid to be honest

with you. Always thought I was thinking smart. I always used to think um, I wouldn't have my buddies, my guys that worked for me, that's willing to do anything in the world for me. I wouldn't have him do nothing that I wouldn't do. That was the wrong mentality to period, because the boss is supposed to keep it going. That's what your fellows was there for. So my mentality wasn't right. You know what I'm saying. I'm thinking, like ship, I'm not gonna do nothing. I didn't have to do nothing,

and I had millions, millions I left millions. I left from flying on private playing all that, you know, to stay prison because of one slip. That was hard to be like the Twilight Zone, man, But you just thinking. Let me ask you this now, what happened to the employees of the guys that were stealing? Did they ever getting anything? So there as she caught the police on you, they couldn't help it because the ass weapon, they needed to go to the hospital. So at the hospital, the

doctor's automatically called the police, but they participated. Police got involved. But let me tell you this too, so it's a trip. I hadn't thought about it like this. So one day I was talking about one of my guys that had cost some time too. Man, the guys were illegal. I don't have nothing against nobody. Spanish, gaze whatever you is, that's what you is. Period. These guys were illegal. I hired them, they was working for me. But there's Spanish

and illegal and it's amazing how they're here. They're illegal and you can still get punished for something with them even being here illegal and that that that's that's crazy as here they already I mean, they already here illegal because said of me, if they wouldn't have been here, they're not supposed to be anyway. If they were when they were supposed to be, they wouldn't be here to get to ask. But that don't that actually, it don't matter.

It don't matter. What the police are saying. Is a crime, right, you got to three kts in the hospital, right, that's an assault. Right. And even though I was just saying it, even though those them them are legal, people could have sued him, Yeah, could have could have had a lawsuit. They were still tried to They tried to assume me for five hundred thousand. I was each as a matter of fact, when he was in court when I was

going through my trap because I went through a trap. Um, they have served us some papers, but my lawyer was smart enough to say, don't take it, don't accept it. They came to serve some paperwork and I've never accepted it and they never falled through with it. That's crazy. But I mean, I mean, you know, that's that's what

I tell normal all the time. This ship is designed to keep us down, to bring us down, And at the end of the day, in the heat of the moment, you really don't have a choice because motherfucker's taken out of your table. And and this the mentality we had to have a choice. Yeah, you had a choice. And to be honest with you, I could have handled it if I wanted to steal, keeping gangster, if I wanted to steal put hands on. I could have had a

little different. I could have let him walk down the street and turn the corner right and act like I don't know who did it. You know what I'm saying. I mean, I'm just saying it's all kind of ways to do something. I mean, which, like I said, I would have handled it different today. I would have it different. I give him a bag to put the ship in and get home, right, now you learn from from from your states. But I mean at that time, you know, especially being on the grind and then going to jig,

I mean, you gotta feel a certain kind of way. Man. You gotta feel viole lady, that these motherfucker's would even do that. I gave you a job and this is what the things that if you get there on anything. I mean, I think my reaction would have been the same way. I think about the consequences later. But in today's society, you have to think about the counts. Yeah, that's that's that's where we come from. That's where we get it from. But to be honest with you, we

gotta grow. We we can't result to violence with everything. You know what I'm saying. I really do believe that. You know what I'm saying. Do you regret what you did? Man? To be honest with you, I'm the type of person I don't never look at something as I regret it because I lived it, so I don't have I don't even have no room to try to regret it. It is what it is. All I do is just move on and ship and keep it going. It was the

most hurting situation why I was in there. Man, I've never experienced like they test my mental tests everything, you know what I'm saying. But I don't never sit back like damn. If I didn't do that, I would have had this or I did that. I don't get down like that. I just keep on going just out of curiosity. Man. How much was how much did they steal? Yeah? Probably about eight thousand dollars worth of ship each, maybe one six dollars one eight thousand. My my stuff was expensive purchase.

I was. I was a customer. From the thing is, you have to quantify that six eight thousand they had the four thousand because that was just the first time

they got cut. That that was the first time they got cut, so they ain't tell them using they usually been doing the you know what I mean, they just got coming and believe me, at that point in time, my thought was when they got caught with that much stuff, after they got their ass worked, after it was in the hospital, because the police can't come and get me

for eleven days later. But my thought was to rump in their house because if they got caught with eight thousand dollars worth to my ship each one of them, I'm thinking their house got to be loaded, They got to have a room, all kind of ship with all kind of ship in there. Man. Now why you think the police waited eleven days should come get you, I don't know. I don't know. They showed a weighted though they did some slick ships. Neven days, eleven days, run

your name, they got your background. Now, okay, when we couldn't catch before that far, Yeah, because you was We got it down that part because I'm pretty sure even though you had no interactions with the police before, but they had probably had an idea from your previous lifestyle before you want the ship, They maybe had an idea of what she was into. Man, I have had a thousand interactions with the police before that. I mean just

growing up, you know hood do you have them? But I had When I said earlier, I've never had a okase. So I never was was arrested the dope. But I've had interactions. I've been arrested for this, I've been arrested for that, but I had never had a case where I had to go all the way through the court system. I've always never took a deal and my ship usually

get dismissed and drops. This was a little bit different than's just one of those times where okay, yeah, I've been trying to get him over, he got a will, he got probably not getting straight up, and then they had to come and get you. Okay, we got it now, so let's charge you. Because nine times out of ten, if it was them and they went to jail, the only thing happens is deportant, then you get nothing back. We're just gonna deport them. Man, let me tell you this.

So when they did, when I did get convicted, I'm in the cell, I'm in sales with people that got five hundred years literally going to court coming back with a sense of five hundred years, hundred twenty five years. That's when you just sit back and be like, I ain't even to say, well my time, they ain't got the lose, not the lose, lose. But it's just crazy how when we when we talk about this and talk about how we used to be and and and there's no way out of how you used to be, you're

always gonna pay for your your past that's uncut. You're always gonna pay for I'm kind of way. I didn't have cases where you get caught with a gun. They go in the bush and get that gun. They can't penning on now one of you four, but they put it on your record anyway. Wow, they put it on there and say, oh a gun, but no convintion this is that. That's because they couldn't pend it on nobody and the d ain't on frotheruct. But they give that

to you anybody. So we already we're already in a situation where damn if we do that, we don't now whether you whether you're in your case, would have just said fucking it went the right way, You've still been wrong, you still lost. And then on the way they're looking at it, Okay, we gotta you gotta wait. With so much ship in the past, we can get him now. And the way in the world that should have been a conviction or is stilling from you. But at the end of the day, they try to find out a

way to say I was wrong. I protected my ship when you know what it lives. And I'm gonna tell you nothing to cut you off. But I know the angs she was feeling anger when you last start on him, because I was a hustler too, not the magnitude that she was. But that was just my thing. I diddl than that was. You know. So you figure, man, when you were in that game man and who used to taking penitentiary chances, did you start working your money a

little different? You're a little bit more frugal with your spending because you know what you gotta do. You know the risk that you take you to get your things going right. You know the risk that you're taking right. So that probably has you're feeling some kind of way. Man. You know, not to just switch the subject and go

all the way back. Man, you said you worked yourself all the way in from a double up man on the fifty things admitted believe that hustle birthday, first day off that fifty I went to I think I went to an ounce breaking. Now the fifties, Cavy Kebby going, this had to be like the eighties, Yes, sir, the eighties, Man was a beautiful era. Now that it's morrified, that man, but but that's what it was. Good. But just the

finding back up. What you're saying is you got a brother that that that went and took took a ship to be legit exactly. Well, that's what I'm saying, because you know, just a sheer thought that something about angry I would feel when you're in the D game. Man, it's not clamorous. You're working your way up. You're really on the crime. You're really taking answers. And now you legit you wroken your stuff. And this dude, this PNG got the nervous thing that they go steal from you

without the repercussions, right, So he was upsetting you. You put them in the hospital there. Yeah, yeah, staples, they needed staples. I'm not proud of that, but that's what that's what it was. As I grew up, my foker's gonna feel some pain, and that's what they did. I'm lucky that they didn't die. Well, to be honest with you, UM doing my trial at lunch time, I belt we all bailed out. It is me doing my guys got arrested.

My girl she got arrested just for calling. But UM doing my doing my UM doing my trial, and I kind of lost my phone. Sorry, it's so good, be it mere. Yeah, I kind of lost my damn. It was something I'm getting ready to say. What were we talking about, guys? We were talking about using the D game and you came back that it just gets you up. Somebody got from me to just steal from you and take from me. Yeah yeah, but most definitely that. Um. But the bigger you get, you gotta control that period.

You gotta control that. I mean, if you're trying to be successful and stick around, you gotta control that. Not just that, but I just nevered something else and what I thought about someon when I was in the pan, I'm like, damn, a lot of us probably could relate this. When I was job, my mother worked at a at a company and she would bring home faders, rubber bands, pens, paper clips, paper she was stealing. That's steal from your job. I don't get how you slide super dices, that's still it.

And so I put myself and them do shoes. While I was in the pin, we learned that kind of tip when we got a homeboy our home girl at work at McDonald's. Mother go through, drive through it or walk if you're getting free ship, that's stealing used slice of the dice. No, because we do anything like that. But but me putting myself in somebody else's shoes and nations, I imagine, like, damn, what if my mother came home

funked up black eye. You know what I'm saying. He got called out a job stilling some paper cliffs and some pins and something. Ship the brain home liquid paper and she get a black eye from man, I'm sucking them up. So that's where you regret you got you have your regret that where I shouldn't have did that. I should have handled that a different that still don't regret. I don't regret. I really can't regret it. You know. It's how it was a certain That's how I grew up, right,

you know what I'm saying. That's that's what I'm used to in a lot of times when man, a lot of times when we're being different games, are we doing different things. We think it's protocol to do different ships different ways. If you're adult, Debta, you think when you get home and you got a girl sheep post to have dinner cook for you, you're supposed to be this way. If you're a pen and she posts that, do that, she's supposed to be automatic. Do this. No matter what

game you're in. As a polo, call that. People think you're supposed to be fauld that's crazy. Yeah, man, we all man, you know what the system is not a fair man. But a lot of times, man, we're not fair to ourselves man, because we have these old like we have these really fucked up mantras um that we live by, you know, these codes that we live by. And sometimes these codes just set us back, you know what I mean? Because the thing is, you think about it.

I see why you were angry. I see how to boot they ask too, because I worked hard for everything. I get something, so somebody to think that they just go steal it from you. And you look, they ask. You want to think, jail man. At the end of the day, it's probably not worth it. Man, But that's just what we condition when you got to you gotta look at your come up and and on one hundred I said this to my brother. Look at all the bad ship and the wrong ship we did growing up

trying to be gang bangers. The the time and effort you put in being a game banger, and you get away with a lot of ship, but that one time you get caught, it's gonna cost your ass as if you pay for everything you did. So if you if we if we look at it like that, okay, I can accept it thinking like that, but it still don't change the real concept to it. Mother's still from me. I under stole from a gang of mother buckers. I

unda stole from out of gang of ship. But when it happened to you, you ain't thinking like that, Because if you're thinking like that, you can just easily let that go. Get rid of them, because I got more to lose what you found out. You have way more to lose than these three motherfucker's sitting there with stables in this ship. Exactly because I've still been chopping my game. I've still been doing what what what what I my ship is designed to do. Let me say that money,

let me say this, I think a little bit different. Um, I really think, honestly, it might have been meant to be. I'm really kind of It was painful, but I really think it was a possibility that something worse would happen to me. To be honest with you, where how I was getting down and the way I was moving, my temper was becoming more and more shorter, I didn't I didn't mind you fuck me. I'm sucking you off. Period.

It didn't even matter because and I still feel that way to a certain extent, because I don't follow nobody. So because I don't funk with nobody, you funk with me. I always felt I had to show you twenty times more than what you did to me. Yeah, I believe it too. I think it is. I think peaceful spears is what I call him, like to exert the red a little bit more because I'm like that too. I'm gonna bother nobody. I'm a very cool dude. I get

your shirt off my background. But once you cross that line with me, if it takes about to give me there but one something there a home, it ain't no point of return. You came, you came back up from it. And that's another thing, fellas. Let me let me tell you something that's looking to listen. Being in the prison, you will if you want to come home, you're gonna act right. Yeah, you're gonna act right for real. And let me tell you what they're doing in the prisons now.

They're not even separating the snitches. They're looking at it like, if you want to go home, you're gonna live with this motherfucker, because if you don't, they got a spot for you and they're gonna keep you. So they're mixing everybody have smise and all that. Ship. That's and why it's sensitive needs jars. That's where my fucker's being told. That's where my fucker's in um tapped out from the main line. They didn't want to be around the bullshit, and so they tap out. But it it became the

prison system. It's more motherfucker's that are tapped out that you're told. Then the motherfucker's that ain't said ship. So now they ain't got no choice because say, if the prison got nine yards, eight of the yards, it's s and y now. And and that's only because they don't want to the budget that they have to pay to protect you, the money that they had to spending protecting you and all that. They said, fun that right. Everybody is in this penitentiary, in this building for a reason,

so why waste that money on doing this. They have designed the prison and the county jail so cold. The choices you had, you don't have no more. Now you're gonna be laying that's to a child molester. You know here, child molester, you're selling. They're letting you do that. But if you want here, if you want to go home, either either need that motherfucker alone or get stuck in this big you and his motherfucker family that bar and

they got a place for a motherfucker with her life. Yeah, you know, and we talked about that about the prison system before. Man, it's a um, it's a massive money grad man. You know the thing he is right now? Man, the prison is probably the most safest investment now now in terms, and you're getting the return of your dollar. Man, you think about it. How much of those cars cost to go home? You can put fifty dollars and that ship like this, Now, let me tell you the county jail.

The county jail used to smoke down. Uh Sherman block daughter did? Uh? Yeah? Running what you talking? Ship the canteen? How much more money they making? They're making millions. Hold on who runs the who runs the Sherman blocks daughter? Wow, that's like a confident entrance. I had a cold thing about the prison system. Di's some cold ship right here. They give you eight hour jobs in prison and you get a check, you get paid hourly. Guess what your

hourly rate is? Eight cents an hour? Eight cents an hour. That's amazing. I'm gonna do it. They're slaving you as as slavery. Literally sixty four cents a day for eight hours and work, and they take tax out that ship. You're getting pimped. I'm gonna tell y'all something else, just to catch you don't know about the prison system. A lot of y'all don't. I didn't know until being in here.

Do you know if a war breakout, they killed everybody in prison one if a war breakout, and it got excuse me, if a war breakout, they kill everybody in prison because they figure if they don't, you might help the enemy. That's crazy. Did you know that? I did not know that prison so let me they just locked you down. No, that they do when they come to jail. They had an earth quaker than motherfucker, and we got stuck in the day room. And you see, they don't

they all outside. They got They lock you in there. If this motherfucker fall running, they're gonna die in there. They don't take you nowhere. They don't. They lock your ass in your cell. And that's it. They don't gonna go temple down. They not. We even give you a chance to getting We don't have a chance. They all out of there, but you're stuck in the cell. So

it's pretty much man. You know what I thought about man, I think about the prison system, man, because I've been the studying this stuff, just based off the dive war we've been having on these previous episode, and I've never been in the prison system before. Unfortunately I've never been

in the prison system before. But me looking at this stuff from starting, they just realize how wrong everything knows and how just you pretty much animal when you were in there, heard to break this, hurt the left heart that didn't hurt to the doctor, heard animal slavery. Because I don't I just don't see the possibility of being rehabilitated in this situation like that, because you figured most of the people of day in Carson Bread, they wind

up in cars brating. Like you know, we were talking about just the whole premise of just robation on how the old bunch of people out of probation because it's a treat bag. You canna wind up getting more time because you can't pay the fund. So I'm looking at it like this, It's like the system is designed just to keep you in there. It's almost like they dangled approbation in your face, but make it so difficult oh he is staying there. You're not gonna do that because

it's the thing. Man, I think they want to keep us all locked up. James, Well, and damn, you're trying to get a tag on everybody. And what I said about tag, we talked about the little cards j C cards with which the sharers have and they make I don't give a game banging or not. You can have your school books in your hands, and they want to fill that card out, so they labeled you as a game member. They're doing females like that too. If you

gotta tattoo, you gotta. They gotta do this card. Back in my days in the eighties, they was taking the picture about the Trump take your picture, the names, the whole nine. You know what I'm saying. So there's nowhere they just have to identify who you are. Now going going to the county jail, just going to the substation, you're gonna wind up in the county jail. From the county jail, nine times out of ten, you're gonna wind up in prison. Getting going to prison and being in

the county jail, and even being in the substation. It's not designed to make you for the relaxation. You can't relaxing there you hear keys Janglin and those clothes. They then they give you the fuck up food. They want you to eat this ship. They treat you and make you get along the walls. They push you, they can hit, they can mohoop your ass, they can do whatever they wanted to do. Justin with with with with kennels in his backyard and let him out to play and didn't

put them back in the motherfucker. That's pretty much what you are. Someone fucker's. I say the treatment they get, some other fucker's I ain't gonna even I can't even say they're deserved, because I'd be a hypocrite because the same system. You are in the same system, I mean, and even the worstest criminals get treated. I get treated the same way. You know what I'm saying, what you're saying they do. Got some fun up people, Yeah, they

do the muscle what. Some motherfucker's deserve what they get. But we we we we were in the same fucking facility. We're doing the same motherfucker time. And you know, some someone fuckers, I can't really deal with it like that. Someone fuckers ain't built for it. Well here you think about it, just the different laws, and that's what I was saying, Like out here, for weeds, you get have slept on the risk. Right in Texas you get washed. I had a homeboy that I played ball within college.

He was a school teacher. He got caught with two hons of weed for his own personal consumption. But he just bought it like that. They gave him. Damn me, like a keen pan status. Well he wouldn't doing some serious years behind Tea is different Texas Texas loan in California, large, totally different. Here. You're getting slapped on the bench on the way to Texas and say, don't mess with Texas. Texas. Texas ain't playing Los Angeles used to be working in

Texas and Jackie Las Vegas. You're gonna get a motherfucking little seed. You're doing two three years. You're going to jail. When I when I moved to texens in in in ninety nine, they weren't bullshit. But going back and forth, I remember going out there and having the ship wasn't even there. It was just straight dirt fields. But you get caught, that's say you're going to strip you can drink on the strip all day, but go towards Charleston and and walk up there and tripping drinking. They gonna

lock your grass. Shot. You're going to jail if you don't have enough bad idea. You're doing thirty days. Oh, man, shy, but jail is not designed for you to go in there and kick back. He didn't see, you know, going back to my partner and I see all at the same You put people in situations. Now, Luckily my homeboy wasn't nowhere near no mark. You know, he had his business, you know what I mean, but he was in the life of their situation when I got to get the

talk to him. He had worked this way. What's the dude, that's a trusting Yeah, he works as a trusty. So he used to call me a certain time, like during the week, you know, for the phone that we had talked. Man, he would tell me and you would just tell this dude a dude. There wasn't no coward, but you could tell he has some concerns. He was like, He's like, man, I'm trying to you know, just to maintain man, because you're not a program norm. You're don't have a problem

sitting in the jail. Some cats, I've seen him break down just when it's time, when it's coming from court. Some cats can't take that because you don't get no peace and quiet. You don't get a state of mind. You don't you don't get that. Some cats came lay down in program like that. I don't see solid motherfucker's fall apart. They're worried about their motherfucking girl sucking another motherfucker. They worried about they they the material ship they left

out there. They worried. You've got so much on your mind, and then going back and forth to court. You know what I'm saying. Let me say this, well, I learned in President Man. There's something that I lived with me for the rest of my life. I never analyies it the way I was upfront with in President. Mental health is big. It's bigger than we even can imagine. Period. Like a lot of people would know nothing about the strust of going to prison if you've never been there.

But you made me just think about it's so many people that come to prison that can't take it. I've seen so many dudes coming there so called normal, and twenty days later, the motherfucker's is looking up in the air like this, like zombies. They put them on the one. One thing about prison, all you gotta do is tell them, my fucker's you can't sleep, and they got something for you. They got something they're gonna get they they're gonna give

you something to help you sleep. They're drugging that as up. Are they giving the prison drug medication in there? Yeah? Yeah, that's that's the biggest money. That's man. That's where the most money on medication come from the prison, like he was saying earlier, And that's the biggest thing you can invest in is prisons medication and prison mental health. That's where all the money is, man, That's where so much

money is made the system. You can see. My thing is, man, you know, I see a lot of guys that have really further problems, Like you know, my thing is this. You see a crack head going down the street, he breaking the people's cards and still change or whatever like that. Rather than to me the optimal situations, get this dude treatment so he can get better. When you put him in prison. I believe he still will get high. He's still gonna find a way to get high, and he

goes generally you. You created the same six wation. So this dude get out a couple of years later, six months later, whatever, he's back out the street doing the same thing. You haven't fixed nothing. To me, real abilitation should be okay, now you go out and shoot somebody in here or do something like that. You want to

go do some time. Ain't got realabilitating from that. But if you're a drug addict, man, if you have some kind of mental disorder, find out what that mental disorder is, why this dude is tripping, and fix him so he can go back become a normal part of society. And we really need to fix this man. Where the brothers got to jail and they're still doing time because they

can't get a job. It ain't that easy. I had a homeboy, man, and I'm not gonna put his name because he actually watched the show because he you know, he got my job and stuff. You know, so I don't want to busted us on. But this cat, like I was saying earlier, man, it was happening. I want to talk to you a quick second about Raycon earbuds.

Until him the gangst the Chronicle sent you. He got so tired of people telling him being honest. I got something on my record, you know what I mean, being honest, and they declined to him. You know, he can't get a job. He finally got a job. But I'll tell you this dude is qualified. This dude actually played ball in college and everything else, right, but you know, got caught up in some stuff. Is used to get caught

up there this time came back out. He winds up working at market you know, Walmart is a cashier, stock person doing all this and that. This dude got a degree. First of all, he worked his way up. He's smarter than the people he works for. Sleep works. He works

his way up, right, He works his way up. And the dude actually he was gonna get a district manager position because they had moved into like a store manager position, and they finally decided somebody and he said, he thinks somebody was hating him because they ran his background check and they really didn't. They decided to run his background check and he didn't get the thing. He thinking it was the manager because he wounded us to past and the first person he was working for you know here

here like two and a half years. So he's thinking that somebody may be called you know him. But how is that fair because technically he's done his time already. Why should he still keeping he didn't. My thing is this, I can understand if you want to go work at a retail establishment if you was in jail, still in large sums of cash, then okay, you may put some on this thing. He came working on retail because this you know, his motherfucker thief, you know what I mean?

He was still this dude was in that motherfucker's he got cost selling drugs. You know what I'm saying. He doesn't. It really doesn't matter to them because once you get back that penitentiary number, you still belong to them someway somehow, after you do your par role and give back that number. I gave my number back, I got out of eight, any nine, they had their number back. But it's still so much ship I can't do as a human being,

as a man that I can't. It's a job, certain job I can't get, whether I'm qualified or underqualified for They're not gonna give it to you, So it keeps you right here at the bottom. They don't want you to come up per sect if that ain't happening. So yeah, everything, I think everything is designed to keep you at a minimum, at a minimum to you get to a point where it frustrates you. You're gonna do something out of the norm, and then you're gonna wind up back where they want you.

You know what I said to that, be an entrepreneur. I work for yourself what I was about to say. But everybody in the game vil self high. That's one thing I learned from the game period. That's what I took from the game. When I was in the game selling dope, it was it comes to real life. It's the The whole thing is buying low, selling high. No matter what you do, you buy low. Everything costs. This microphone cost Somebody bought that low and sold it high.

Somebody bought that chair and sold it high. It's everything everything and sold high. So all you gotta do is be in where it's in demand. But that was in the hood, what dope was in demand. It was hot. But it's so bad now if you didn't, if you didn't come up back then like you and mother got there. Still trying to day today, trying to sell that. You're too late. You ain't ben to get You know what I'm saying, you're gonna be. You're doing it to get by.

You're doing it to get by. So everybody, all the homies are everybody that's in the hood. Don't possess the gift that you've got to buy low and sale high. We all don't have it, you know, we all don't. But that's why I'm putting out there. You can buy a thousand two boxes of two picks. You just gotta be where they want and where they need on period, no matter what it is. You just gotta be worsen

the man all the ship. You see that sale it's it's it's out there for a reason because it's sale, right, So you just gotta pick what you want to mess with. We had options back then. We chose dope because it was the highest thing in the neighborhood. Some people chose sweaters and jackets and socks. But push around that ship. You could do whatever you wanna do. True, it all comes down to buying low, setting high. Another thing. Man,

speaking of buying low, selling high. These neighborhood stores are sucking me up. When I go on these neighborhoods stores in the hood and see how they're charging us only for convenience. Man, it's it, he knows me, man, for real, these Asian stores. I went in the store not too long ago in my neighborhood. I grew up in the thirties, and and I go in the store. And every day I buy water, I buy bottles of water. It could be Beverly Hills, the valley, it don't matter wherever I am.

And when I went in the neighborhood, I bought the same bottle of water, and it cost me more money at that store all the places I'd be at, and I couldn't believe it, And I went off on the people in there, Man, I damnit to shut that story. I couldn't believe that that they're doing us like that, because because it's out of convene, if we could walk right to the corner store and get it real quick, we don't mind spending that extra. They're getting rich off that. Remember,

I think it was. I think it was there after the rides, I believe. Remember, we still have a bunch of black liquor stores over in l A. Like all the liquor stories, like you had James Liquor that was on the corner of Vermont for verminded century had James. Literally that was black own. You had a period liquor croach fore you was black owned. After the riots, a lot of the people sold out to the Asian people. And I'm letting if this ain't about Asian people and never.

But we don't have no ownership in our communities. Right, Because I'm gonna tell you what I see to trist me out. I live in the suburbs. I see a guy. Um, I've seen this guy all the time that owns the liquor store on Long Beach and North Long Beach, right off the South Street. Right. I got family to live over there, right, So it trists me out. He goes actually to Alberson's and buys up all the cereals when ain't on sale. You know how you get to buy one,

get one, you know, went long. I see him buying a whole bunch of stuff, and I'm just checking them out because I don't see him in the store. I see him by the fighting the waters, the fighting on the waters of nine and nine cent. I went to that store one day and I did the same thing you did. I drink that fighting the water, right, And I said, Okay, this dude don't got from nine nine. I'm not mad at him making some money. He was

charging to name nine for the bubble bubble. I've said, so, you know you, I could have bought four of them at that price. You're just being too greedy. But that's our fault because we support these motherfuckers and we let them talk to us crazy when we walk in the story, they're disrespectful. They they just as anybody in his rooms from the cameraman us. How many of y'all have y'all

been arrest when y'all walking to a littering store? If somebody look at y'all like y'all crazy, like you come in and steal something being in the hood and didn't have it already, I'm sure, mabe. I don't really give a fuck. I don't even get it. I don't even pay attention to their ass. I don't even get them occupied on space and me. Man, but keep looking. But the thing he was though, Man, we really got a um. We really are falling behind as a people, and it's

our fault. Yeah, it's our fault. Because you know, I got a son that played college ball. I'm telling him off the rip, you're not going to school to look or work with somebody. You can want to school and go learn being the team major journalism because what I'm playing else when I get an old as man digital soapbox, be able to company up to where Hey, you're gonna make the journalism you come and take it to the next level. That's what I'm hoping at it, you know

what I mean. It's like we don't have no ownership enough, and then when we do get ownership, man, it's like almost like we flip out, you know what I mean. We don't pull nobody else in, and we don't have no kind of like like mentorship. Just don't trust each other. We don't trust each other going into business together. That's because somebody out of this this this group gonna think you're taking from me or you getting more than what I'm what I'm getting. And it shouldn't be like that. Business.

Money speaks for itself, paper speak for itself. We don't look at it like that. We're so worried about the b ship and what other people are doing. Like I said before, how do Mesicans you can put five families in one home. You got a black chick over here in the five bed room wroom by yourselves. She don't want no motherfucking help that brother, you don't want no motherfucking hell and getting people and put them in there, save your money, good on my mortgage. But we don't.

We don't do it. Like that. They probably do want to help, but it's the sheep you're gonna have to go through. True, because motherfucker's be in that five bear own house. She might be in that motherfucking and no, she needs to help, but she knows when she opened that can of wine it's gonna be some most ship too. Yeah, I mean, just like them, they gotta have rules and and if taking a chance is a motherfucker's then we gotta take some type of chance. We can't be scared

to work at motherfucking McDonald's walmart. This, this is what I'm saying. We got so much motherfucking pride, it's just so little nothing. We don't give a funk about it or take value in the ship that we see other motherfucker's making money off book working again. You see them, the old ladies in them trash kids, getting them kids in the loving them. They made five or six other dollars a week. But the only motherfucker's you see in the trash kid is a smoker. But he checked all

that motherfucking money make and blow it. This could be my comeback, This could get me off the motherfucker street. We're looking at it like that so we downplay ourself. It ain't fuss to look at it like that. Motherfucker's that's doing that, to look at it like that, that's a living like that. Yeah, but we gotta how how do we get better? How do we get better? With self? It started with self. Yeah, you can't make nobody, You can't get nobody your blessing, and you can't do none

of that. I can't do none of that. They got to start with their self. Yeah, So with self, I mean everybody else works as a group, right, Like what I'm saying, we kind of like because yeah, we don't want to do it. I don't trust you us. You know what I'm saying. Let me say this real quick. Honestly, I swear to you. Was embarrassing being a black man in prison amongst black men. It was embarrassing to be

a black man among so many black men. And I see, how come every race look at us like we ain't ship, look like look at us like we stupid him, we can't get along. I had a white dude asked me, that's long ago. We just have to be talking. I was telling them back in the day, in the eighties, I used to I'll be driving around, and I'll see a car, a hundred thousands out of car parked up in the yard that looked like a piece of ship. The house is falling apart, the porches fall apart, the

paint is sucked up on the house. It just looked stupid to me. And I would pull over and smoke some weed and be like, that ain't gonna never be me. So I was having a conversation with this white dude that gave me two million dollars before, and he just said the other day, I'm telling him about how you surdrive around and just think that was fucking crazy. He said, t Y, it's a sixty five year old white man. He said, t Y, isn't that where the term nigger

rich come from. I shouldn't say ship. I couldn't say ship because that's what it is. Did he did? He take T what, I just don't understand your race. I'm not a conversation with a white man. This one. I just don't understand. Your race is like crabs in the barrel. He called the lobster syndrome. Actually the soul, not something from every other race, a mom's r race. It was embarrassing as fuck. Being a black man in prison around so many black men, you tell them, my fuck NIGGI

gona fuck this white dude up. He's gonna tell you you can do that. We're gonna suck you up. Yeah, that's the dumbest black at ship I ever seen in my fucking life. Gonna tell y'all something to man, it was embarrassing. Uh. My wife Mexican, right when her father first came to this country. She said that people used to laugh her day as he had this little truck, right and he had a pile of palace on the back of the mouth, you know, laughing. She hate him

come to up to school. That little pile of palace. Man turned from a little truck to one big long flat bed truck to a fleet of trucks delivering palace to everybody from Walmart to Target to everybody else. And I was looking at my father in law. Man he had built this big, massive business, right you know all my wife polarts just when college and everything else, you know what I mean. This dude, I wouldn't ride with him one day. He told me to ride one more day.

Was funny, he said, come on, you know I'm speaking on English men. Faught about Coogle's health. You don't speak a liking English. Come on, come on, I wrote with him, and I'm looking at him. Man, he dealing with this white dude that don't liquor Spanish. And they over there talking. He's showing them this stuff. The next thing that they shake hands. My father in law going there and get um check. I lookally check the checks say twenty five

dollars on. He bringed weak with him because he wanted to talk to you know, talking layers in there about what the terms because of his things. So he went and got a contract. And I'm thinking, I said, now, this man don't speak no English, very limited, very limited English, like okay, yes, you know like that. And this dude

don't built him some ship man. The people laughing at his daughter when he dropped off school, but was they laugh in high school when she had the five point Oh he don't build this, you know, he don't build this stuff up. Man, we are so pride for the where it's less. Man, I'm not going than cutting no grass, I'm not doing that. I'm not doing this. It's almost like we get sitting up there waiting to be saved by somebody. Man, all black people know how to do.

Us as black people, man, all we knew how to do was go to search free. And I don't be wrong with that, but we're waiting to get saves. Like what are we waiting for? Now? We're worried about what the most motherfucker gonna say. We're worried about that conversation. I can't go to work in McDonald's and be just window when my girls, my boys ride by, come through the drive to and see me in that motherfucker. That's the talk of the town now. So I ain't working

in that motherfucker. Ain't nobody gonna see me cutting these motherfucker's grass. But we grew up cutting grass and helping the older news, you know, marching to the stove back and forth. You know exactly that basket doing ship like that round is just everything is totally different. We got worse it because my grandfather's taught us. My grandfather taught us, you're gonna do something, you gotta you gotta know something.

You gotta learn something, whether it's plumbing, uh that drywall, CARPETI, whatever the case may be, you got to know something. And I know a little bit about everything that he did, because I've watched it. He taught me. You know what I'm saying. It wasn't no problem. She was my grandfather, you know what I'm saying. So if we got a plumbing problem, I know what to look for. You know what I'm saying. Putting up drywalls, I know where to started,

and you know, hooking up drywall. So see that's dope. A lot of us don't know how to do none of that ship. Yeah, I'm guilty. I never want to line. I do none of that ship, but I always want to have money to have it done. I don't like doing no, I hate doing labor work, but I swear to God, that's one of my things since I was a kid. I want to be able to watch that ship get done. You already getting right there? Build that right there. I want that right there. That's my ship

right there. I don't do nothing, but I buy all the tools, man. I got so many tools and ship. Man. I bought a house from my playbork even both, and I wouldn't never let know when I when I took it over, I redid it. And I used to buy all my own tools. So nobody come on my property with no tools. So when they left, they came empty handed and left empty handed and ships. I still got

tools and ship. But I love getting ship done. So that when you like that, your hustle where you got to stay on it ain't None moved my brothers in peace that he's a pigeon free, pet bull free. And so he was like, man, I need to learn how to build a bird cage. Looking at him, he just got this wood paneling all kind of Now, let you know how you do it. I don't remember how my grandfather did the structure of the floor, build the floor. They just no goddamn towed. It's water bunder this ship.

So I had the four walls I cut cut out in the dirt with the concrete I missed concrete with the rocks and all that, laid the foundation at the whole ship, and then build his bird cage. That motherucking cage still up right now today. We just sold the house, that motherfucker never thinking. Man, I learned, and you take problem, and no one sh how to do that. And now that I can incorporate that in mind and say some money exactly when ship happened in the house. Right now today,

I don't have to call this motherfucker. That motherfucker let me go to the home depot. But she's gonna get the ship and then I'll do it. That's money I got, give it to somebody else and then calling back an I'm gonna tell you this, it's not hard to learn a lot of this stuff is what I did because I didn't grow up being the most in that dude that putting up walls like I'm not gonna go later on Florida. I'm gonna do that. But one thing I did have thene like I changed the fan in our house,

steal a fan without in our room. I changed the man because they were all that stuff is on Half of the stuff was on YouTube right now to show you, you know, man, But that's two wives. That's what I'm saying. I'm doing myself because I told my wife. She was like, we don't call, said he don't know just what it was. I said, 't enough. But to one, I can figure this all, I said, one kid can figure out. But where where do we go from here? Fellas? But then you say that that that's some more ship I got

from the Doge games. When you're in the Doge game, it's so easy to don't get a both man change their light up there and get that both a little piece of rock changing their light up there. But they're getting the tip dollars that ship making all that kind of it has just benefits. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. But that goes that leaders along through with you through life,

you know what I'm saying. And it used to have him off to do some ship bam bam whatever when you when you when you moved to say you move out of the state and half of the ship and cut down because it cost them getting ship dead as a motherfucker the day. And damn, I don't know how to put this ship together, but I gotta pays to do this ship. You see, it's the right thing YouTube learning how to build as your motherfucker, And it showed like to me is everything because I know how to

do ship from motorshackle trying. You know what I'm saying. I know about the motorcycle till I got one, right, you know what I'm saying. But Christmas, all the toys and putting ship together, go buy a dresser and you know it comes with the aid. Yeah, I know to put it together because I could read that diagram. I'm just good at it, and I put it together like this. Why the brother little this like? And then what you've done with it like this? So man, it always it's good.

My grandfather was always good. So me and my little brothers to to have cars and ship. We were putting inches in this sixty five shipping. This is the looking Forward team. But we're putting injines in this ship. Yeah, but what do we do? Where do we go? For me? Because you know what, man, I'm gonna put this disclaimer. I love black people. I'm black, my mom is a black, my daddy black, my sister. I love black people. Man. What I hate niggas? Man, I can't stand up. I'm

gonna tell me why we sit up? Man? And we talked about each other so bad, so worried about what this person got and if you really educated yourself with new weaves up against you were running cluing to your brother or your sister, is you gotta be educated? No, you don't have to be going to finish because I

got I'm gonna I'm like this. I've been in the street all my motherfucking like didn't finish school because I wanted to be a game banger and men in the class just where everything had it out here on the football field or in the field or on the way to the house. So sitting here and I see it in the comments where man, I think it don't sound like he No, I didn't graduate. No, I ain't no educated motherfucker, but I ain't no thumb motherfuck. That part

to the fact I'm smart on the speet ship. I'm when I see something, I know, yeah, name you feel me. So I'm not gonna coming and read no book to be on nobody else's level. This was and that's not what it's all about, James, because see, I got a homeboy man that didn't great sula fromience, but he's a bigion there. He got in the real estate, he became proficient in his craft. As his hustle, he came to

proficient in it. I tell her brothers, if you can go out there and seeal, do you can run a business. And it's all about I'm gonna tell you, hustling was sure to teach you about margins. Hustand would teach you about legistics of being somewhere about organization, because if you're not organized, hustling, you can get You know what I'm saying, you might not come back home. You know what I mean? You just have to learn what you what you're doing

exactly exactly. Once you got it down to a science, you can't lose because now you know, just like this business. Then in the podcast ship, I don't have no clue. But how do I how do I shoot out and talk or even be on the business level if I have no knowledge? So me first I had to say, I need to read up on some ship. I need to look at some ship. I need to This is the only way that you get it. This is the

only way. You know, you ain't ain't playing yourself. This is the only and each and everybody gotta take that whatever the funk they're doing, In fact, you see you're just seeing it those James, how many times have you called me and asked me questions? A lot of a lot of times. But that's how you learned. And if I already gave you any resistance as far as giving information. As a matter of fact, it used to be funny.

I just give James. Like we said in the restaurant one day and I was trying to show James something. James got got mad at me, and I was wondering why he got mad. But then I realized what I was doing. I said, you know what, that was my bad because I didn't sit down. And actually, you know, I'm trying to take him from point A to point see. You know what I'm saying, And it's like, yeah, exactly. So the thing is what we have to do. We

can't be ashamed to help each other. Because my thing is this right here right I've worked hard to build this network up to what it is. You know me and Doggy Dumonds. It wouldn't just me. You know me and you know everybody else, James included. We work as

a team. I don't tell people when the people. Whenever somebody come to tell me what the job I do, I say, no, that's us, is James McDonald is, your moth is Brian, it's everybody else, were working anybody, And that's what I feel like, this right here, this is my most probless a cheating. I tell you why because I look up sometimes and say, man, but everybody got paid this. It might not have been nobody got rich, but everybody. You know what I mean, Because it's about

working as a team. Exactly that aspect of it. But it's like this, you can't get five black men and be successful. You can, but at the end of the day, it's gonna break down, just like all these the artists and all of these cats, everybody that was a group have fell apart. You can go all the way back to the Temptations and everybody, because everybody got their own mentality and their own agenda and ain't nobody really shitting down and really having that that man and man kind

of said, this is where we're going. So we, you know, set goal and set a goal at five opposed to me setting my own goal. I don't give a funk where y'all going, but I'm going here. And we don't do that with each other. We ain't uplifting towards each other. Yeah, we have to be up lifting towards each other. And that's the thing. Man, It's like and it's from alas be in all life time. Yeah, I kind of disagree with you, bro. You know where I think it's art

comes at. I think it comes to where us holding ourselves accountable that I think if you start right here, I think if we do it, we break that cycle of brothers not being able to work together. Because the thing is, it's all about communication at the end of the day. Right, if we stay communicating with each other and stay keeping it one hundred with each other instead of trying to outdo because one thing I see we do.

We love to sit up and talk about wife folk, right, but if we can get one up on our brother that don't know as much, rather than let's teach them, guess what we do. You see the music, you will see You see the music in the music industry all the time. Right. You will see a brother to claim he got funked over by somebody, right, and as soon as he get an artist, guess what he's doing. He's doing the same thing that somebody did him, instead of him teaching him and saying, you know what, I'm gonna

be different. You know what I mean. It's hard to expect somebody to have an understanding and they don't have an understanding. True, you can't make it, my fucker, I understand. That's another part of you giving your blessing on a way. I mean, you blessed to be able to have an understand You blessed to be able to see what you see and feel. How you feel I am too. He is too, but that don't mean he gonna be, he gonna be, she gonna be. It's just like we said earlier.

Everybody got their own mind. Some people going through mental trips. You just don't know where a person is. And it's it's it's rough as tough as hard. Yeah, for those people doing the man stay with must work. I mean everybody just gotta look at it. And we could do this all day, right, just like you see everybody on his Facebook and the social media and ship fuck. This practice is what we preach. How we're gonna reach this cat.

How we're gonna reach this cat. That's why I said it was important to get uh what's his name them from kitchen uh porking them and and uh what's his name for reach coast, to get all of those guys just to do the different shows and then show people it's up for you to to to absorb the ship that we're trying to bring you. You know what I'm saying, It's time to stop this type of ship. They not getting it because they outre shooting each other on the quarantine.

Why the fund is you out there in the cart with a gun looking for somebody to shoot and and motherfucker's is dying from this and that, you know what I'm saying. But that's because we ain't understanding that quarantine means to stay in the house. You can come, you can come from hanging out and go home. My little cousin died from it hanging out. Take it to a daughter and a grand baby. So now the rest of my missions is like, oh, that ship is for real.

That's just real. But we take everything for granted. Let's not taking for granting. But I think we just need to practice, practice what we preach, and and be more I think, more responsible for what we're doing. It's like I want to perfect this because I want to reach these cats right here. It's I want to show these cats that these conversations right here, these mother fuler's right here and been through it. You hear this man right here,

the touch millions of dollars. How many brothers in the hood donna touch that type of ship exactly reach hand. He could probably tell you how to keep it. So you want to make the mistakes, then you know a boy the fifth balls he did so man was covering the recovery. You know what I'm saying I'm in recovery mold. So what us being about to wrap this up? Man? Tell everybody what you've got going on on? Man too.

I actually have a television so that I put together called the Hustle Up Show, um, and show you how to buy low, sell high and stay tuned. It's it's really big. Then I got organizations called put down the downs and pick up a hustle, and I got a lot of people behind me all that. How did you get in touch times? Down? How sole up? Baby? Um? One good way to get in touch with me with be do the Hustle Up Show dot com? Check me out sure, and then you have it. Man. We texted

a lot of topics to night. Um. I think they all said the same thing. Man, I'm gonna leave y'all with this. Man. What did my boys say? Man? From the My Beach song? Man, it's a world side? And nobody say where did that lyric come from? But I'm gonna tell y'all, man, we need some periless times right now. We are abody to get this ship together. Man, we real quickly. We're gonna find out fast. I'm prepaying my shop. I got waters and guns. I don't need nothing else.

I think they're trying to kill us. Man. Oh man, I'm gonna tell you because because if you look at it like this man, with this whole thing. Man, because I've been studying this stuff, you know, and I'm making my business. I'm doing continent. I just don't want to And when I come on this microphone, I'm not trying to spit no alonliness, you know what I mean. I'm trying to know what I'm talking about and reversed with it. So if somebody come at me, I got my facts together.

The thing he was, Man, we are a target right now us as like men especially, we are targeting or now they're attacking our women and putting our women in jail. Man, get it together, people, fun Takashi and all that other stuff. Man, look at the stuff that's gonna educate you. Get your mind right. Don't fall from oaky doging distractions. Man. We out of here in that part now
