The Astro. Black astrophysicist. The star child. Star child. You seen him? Dr. Taylor Cummings. Yeah, a lot of doctors. Hey, look, you know, the reason why I mention this is because I've been seeing a lot of comments when men disagree with me. They like to say, oh, deontay, Kyle, he sounds smart to a fool. Or this is a. This is a poor man's intellectual. Mm. Well, what do you say to the doctors that also subscribe to this? Are those poor men? Are those fools? You know, I get not agreeing with me, but the thing is, is that every time y' all disagree, you never articulate a disagreement. You just call me names, and to that I say, we back. Man, bruh, this has been a great, great end of year. We got a couple of things. We got Wayne O and Adri coming for the wrap up. Yes. That's gonna be dope. It's gonna be fun. Great hip. Great year for hip hop. Where we doing that at? We doing it over there at Fergus spot. You go to Ferguspot. Okay. Yeah, okay. Yeah. We just gonna. I'll probably open up the room a little bit, or maybe we'll customize and do a little something custom. I mean, it's hip hop. Let's not do it. Let's not do the studio. It's hip hop. We could do it at it. It's hip hop. It is hip hop. Let's do it at the studio. We'll do it at the studio. Yeah, that'll be. That's a great idea. We could do it in that lounge area. Yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah. All right. Say that. Say less. Also, we do have a special guest coming before the end of this month. That episode is warranted to drop on a Wednesday. But I cannot spoil it. You know what I'm saying? Oh, I cannot spoil it. I will not spoil it. And you'll never guess who it is. Oh, man. And it's not one of my family members gonna have grandpa. We're gonna do a seance. Yeah. Bring James back. A lot of candles. A lot of candles in on episodes. All we got to do is play. What's the name of that song? Meet the crs. We gonna have jazz guards in the back with the. With the crystal summoning. Yeah. All type of. All type of going on. You know what I'm saying? Bring James back. Bring James back, man. Recipe. My. Yeah, man. James Williams, bro. Good man, Bro. This bat with me, and just. They didn't get creative with the middle names. It's just James Jeffrey Williams. Yeah. Yeah. That's it. That's all you get. It's a great granddad now. Yeah. Yeah. James Jeffrey Williams. That's a great. That's a great granddad. That's great. Dad. He don't play no games. He'll play no around. Don't. Don't. With Jeffrey. Don't. If it's one thing I don't do, I don't beef with. With old names. Yeah, yeah. You don't want to do that. Y' all thought Jeffrey Woods. Goddamn. Jeffrey. Can't beef with these. No, I can't beef with Jeffries. What a. What a. What a week. You know, the Asians on Tik Tok. Hey, yo. Oh. All right. So I, you know, I stumbled upon Asian mess. I'm loving it. Yeah. The Asians. So. So you got two. So this is the thing, okay? This is what black people don't do. We don't do PR for our community. We just very upfront and out there about who we are. We're very honest about who we are. We're very honest with each other. Because here's the thing. We don't have to live in shame. Y' all gonna disparage us whether we winning or losing. So black people are just taking the path of we're just gonna be honest and outward. And sometimes it works to our detriment because, you know, we'll be speaking in mixed company. Yeah. But a lot of times, it's just about, like, we're the most transparent community. You understand what I'm saying? For sure. So we don't see, like, the infighting that happens in other communities. Oftentimes. We just see it for ourselves because they do great pr. You know what I'm saying? They represent their race like a brand. Yeah. They treat the Asians. Treat Asia and Asian ethnic groups like a brand. They hide their colorism well. It's a brand name. It's a brand name. Guarantee they stick beside it like Pepsi. Slap a label on it and call it Blue Dog. Just don't let me catch you calling it Blue Magic again. Speaking of Frank Lucas. Yeah. What's in the jungles? Vietnam, Vietcong. You see what I'm saying? When they hook up the vehicle. Yeah. Got that dope. Pure. Pure dope. Pure dope. We'll never see that happen again at Harlem. Fire. Fire. Do you understand me? Harlem was on fire, son. You've never seen this many turkeys giving out. Frank Lucas set a world record for most turkeys given away in a single day. When the. How you get that? Them turkeys, son. If he can go to Vietnam and smuggle heroin. Heroin. Into the country Casket. Yeah. He can get some turkeys. He can get turkeys. Hold on. This Nate. Hey, Nate. What's up? We recording the podcast. All right. It be back when you finish. Did you. Did you want to say hello to the good people? Hello, good people. This is Nate Edwards. Godamn. Good to. Good to, good to talk to y'. All. All right, Nate. Bye. It's Nate from every deserves if he could. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I. I'm sure he reached out to somebody and, you know, like, North Carolina. We have a lot of turkeys in North Carolina. Yeah, I'm sure. And he's from. He's from North Carolina, I'm telling you. Brought his whole family from North Carolina. We've never seen that before. Never seen a move his whole family. I never seen a mama slap him. I thought that only happened to me. I remember one day, Mark dude slapped me. I was like, I'll never talk to this slapping for no good. Reason. Oh, man, I'm pretty sure it was for a reason. Black mama drama. You know what I'm saying? Well, you know, it was. There was a reason. I mean, there's only so many times the police can knock on your door looking for you before your mama just like, you know what? I'm fed up with this shit. Yeah. I fed up. Yeah. She slapped me. She selling drugs out my house. I find a gun in this. Oh, and these knocking on the door, talking about they got two warrants for you. Yeah, a slap was warranted a slap. Yeah. Snap back to reality. Oh, there go. That's what started playing when she snap. One opportunity, I started turn to a white man. I'm going to kill my mom. I'm going to kill my mom. The Scottish. The Scottish K. Oh, yeah, the Scottish. Crep up a little family annihilation. No big deal. The European side came out. I started hearing the bagpipes. Hold on. No, I'm. I'm saying though. So I remember vividly cuz I had to come over there. She had called me while I was at my pine house. She was like, the police over here looking for you. I was like, do not let them in the house. She's like, they got warrants for your arrest, but they asked to come in the house. They just asked if you was here. They looked around, seeing you ain't hear they dip. I was like, they ain't searched the house or nothing. She's like, nah. I was like, I got something I gotta come get. I was like, I'm be there at 1am I' ma walk through the cut. Boom. She's like, all right, bet. I opened the door. You here to get your. I was like, yeah, I was. I ain't going. Mondo was almost the first victim of Jiu Jitsu. That's when I went to go get my gun, you know. The. What? She slapped the on me. I was sitting there looking stupid. This. The Scots came out. The spirit of the Scots, maybe. All right, I'm g. Stop playing. Oh. Almost annihilated her, you know what I'm saying? Bring that V. Oh my gosh, the V on you. No, she did. She hit me with the first part. Very clean. But either way, I say that to say black people don't do a lot of branding around the black brand. We just put all our out there, creativity, language, everything. You know what I'm saying? And the thing is, is like I'm never up when we talk about like people appropriating because it's like Y' all niggas don't have a history of being that creative, especially not around language. I'm gonna tell you one thing that white people really got in their bag with when it come to language that hard. R. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You could trademark it, baby. Yeah. If they trademark that word. I mean, you talking about billion dollar corporations. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? That's they shit today, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. Still, that's they like, you know what I'm saying? It was a moment. It was like, if AI would have won a finals, you know what I'm saying, he would have never had to win. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was it. If Cam would have jumped on the fumble, it was, you know. Yeah, yeah, that's it. It's like, God damn, what if they branded that? You know what I'm saying? But I'm not fucked up about it because it's like, we know y' all not very that creative with language, and we know y' all don't dress like that. So, like, I think for black people, appropriating our culture is a very sensitive topic for us because it's like, bro, we made this shit and we just creative people. We don't do it for the profit all the time. It's just like breast creativity just oozing out of us, bro. It's in our lineages, in our DNA to be creative. So we look at other communities like they got all they shit together because they not really being upfront and honest about who they are and. And what goes on. They're not transparent. Yeah. And that's a part of assimilating to whiteness, is trying to seem perfect, you know, this is the full house effect. Danny Tanner had a lot of jokes that edged on pedophilia and then became a dad of three girls on tv. Now, all the jokes he had, his. His stand up was out before. Before he came. America's dad before America's Home Videos. Danny Tanner was a raunchy, vulgar, pedophilic type comedian. Like, he edged a lot of those jokes around some nasty behavior. Old Hollywood, probably New Hollywood, but same thing with Uncle Joey. Odd behaviors from Uncle Joey. The Olsen twins said one of their earliest memories is being in the shower with him for some reason. Huh. This is what I'm trying to tell you, son. This is the full house effect seeming perfect, but when the cameras and lights go off, it gets dark, gets disgusting. We always like to bring up crime statistics about black people. Oh, how does thirteen Commit more than. We never talk about how y' all population commit like 95 of all rape and pedophilia. Family annihilation. Big team, you know what I mean? Chris Benoit wasn't the first. Damn sure is not the last. All right. We don't like to talk about crime statistics when it comes to other people because we don't like to disparage other groups. That's not the way America is built. You got to always step on the backs of the blacks. And the most forward facing, white assimilating group in America outside of South Florida, Cuban, is the Asian community. Absolutely. Especially the Chinese. They, they love, you know, they like some assimilation, you know what I'm saying? So I didn't know that they was like beefing because evidently Japan has all of these slurs for all these other groups like the Thai, Thai people, Vietnamese, these people. Darker skinned Asians get discriminated against. I ain't know that was a thing. Yeah, I didn't know it was a thing. But for the sake of the park. Yeah, yeah. I'm trying to. I got you. Seem surprised. I got you. I got you. And so they said in Japan, like they'll wear long sleeves even when it's hot because they don't want to get darker. A lot of weird ting. So there's pro black, pro Asian Asians going up against these whitewashed, white assimilating. And the shorties that be marrying white men, they don't be liking that shit. And the Asian men don't be liking that shit neither. They be calling motherfuckers pick, Pick me. Pick Nicos or something like that. Yeah, they got their own like pick me shit type vibe. Oh, shit. They call them green tea. That's what they call green tea, bitches. Wow. So they got their own little, you know. So I've been on Asian type. The Asians be, you know what I'm saying? Certain section of the Asians really be going hard because they know American history. They know when it was black and yellow, black and yellow, you know, before Wiz Khalifa. Yeah, the Panthers, black and yellow. Right. You know what I'm saying? The Panthers was really all a ways about fighting the poor people's fight. It wasn't necessarily always about, you know, it was black first. Because we're the afflicted, we know what we've been through, but we also understand colonialism and capitalism. It takes all. You know what I'm saying? The, the real system, the real ism is that capitalism. And we seeing that in full effect now. Now the Only time that you can see something like this, right? In a. In a situation where there is unfettered growth and. And like a limited capacity to grow. Right? Like, if. If we was looking at capitalism as it operates in America and we put that in the human body and looked at it like that. Like, capitalism is a. A group of cells and we saw it replicate in the body the way that it does in humanity, we would call it a cancer because it is a cancer. Why Lake Michigan, or is it Lake Michigan or Lake Superior? Is one of the lakes, one of the Great Lakes. Largest freshwater reserve we have in North America. And y' all about to use this to cool computers so y' all can keep pushing these data centers everywhere. Keep pushing. AI studies come out and they. They know it's making people slow and dependent on it. But this is good for capitalism. We don't need a nation of thinkers and people just critically think people that research people that have media literacy. People we don't need people we need. You know, capitalism depends on people like Joel Santana say, you don't need to know how to read. You could just listen to a book. Yeah, focus on financial literacy, Focus on opening businesses. Fuck a book. Fuck reading a contract. This is what capitalism depends on. This is about to become the socialist podcast. I'm telling you. I'm telling you. I real Black Panther, bro. Black Panther's voice of socialism, bro. Like, yeah, because this is getting out of hand. It's out of control. It's out of control. And we're going to need coalition, but we're going to need unity within our community first. So I focus on the unity within the community first. We don't need all. We just need a majority. And we need to be very vigilant about getting on our. On our Tubman, you know what I'm saying? When show they face as a coon, you gotta believe that they a coon. You dig what I'm saying? If. And the thing is that we do better than everybody else is when it's come to our plight and our liberation, we will discard the weak. And we didn't know that that was going on in other communities. And that's what the Asian community is actively doing. They just bringing it to the square. Like black people always bring it to the square. Yeah. You remember a few months ago, the Hispanic dude had said, like, y' all be so homophobic. Y' all are dissing y' all son for being homophobic. But your T, y' all get drunk and start sucking off this. Like, what I Ain't know that was going on over there, but you know Lil Coke, little Coors. Yeah, Lil Coke and Corona. Coke and Corona. Corona got Tio Freaky. Tio don't care who it is, long as it's pure. Big Cat. Why, why not? Why not it Big ice cup. I'm, I'm. I'm just in a space where it's like, we don't need to worry about, like our pr. We need to worry about being pure. Oh, the trash, man. Shout out to the city workers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thought it was a goddamn BOR747. I'm trying to. I thought was to take off, turn my car to say to a Runway. Yeah. Oh, God damn. Big had used to be a city worker, man. Yeah, I did trash specifically. Yeah, you was driving. I did, yeah, yeah. The last little bit of it. You hopped off the truck sometimes too. Of course. That's what I started. Yeah. You got run in the city, baby. Literally, you gotta start on the back of that truck. Yeah. Shout out to all the city workers, man. It's midterm. Still drive their vote local. You know what I'm saying? Shout out Dominique, my local politician. You know what I'm saying? Dominique, you know, Dominique, sit on the. Dominique be sitting on the corner. Front street, go vote. Stop playing. I just got my hair braided. I'm out on the corner. Yeah, she had in the rain. She don't give a fuck. She gonna get them votes. She got my vote. Yeah. The thing is, is that we are progressing a lot faster than you would believe we are. But there's a lot of advertisements that will have you think otherwise. Now, Black Friday was Friday, Saturday, they was like, oh, you know, these are record high sales. First of all, data don't calculate that fast. Yeah, when has data ever calculated that fast? Now, just because somebody is reputable in media doesn't mean that they're telling the truth. We know that these media publications are listed as entertainment. A lot of news media is listed as entertainment. The entertainment aspects allows them to fabricate the truth. They don't want you to think your boycott is working. They don't want you to see the power of withholding your dollars because they depend on it. So they want you to think that you're consuming more. But I'm here to tell you, people wasn't outside like that. Nah, they wasn't. And people wasn't online like that, shopping. Because everywhere you go, if your algorithm is righteous, you saw about the blackout. And we also have to remember as black people, that we are not the only consumer base in America. Itching, ain't it? We have to always remember as black people that we are not the only consumer base in America. Okay? Those numbers of consumption do not reflect our community solely. There really is no way of tracking that. What we have to trust is that we're all on board. We can't look at any fabricated, any rushed out numbers. I mean, even in music, it take a week for them to get first week sales back. And they didn't account for Cyber Monday yet. They had to report ready on Saturday. That Cyber Monday ain't even happened yet. Come on, man. You know the thing is, is that they want you to feel defeated in your efforts. And also regardless of the fact that we should not be suffering under the boot of billionaire corporations to the point where $100 off feel like a deal. This is my idea of Black Friday. You wanna give me a Black Friday deal? First three months of 2026, rent, $400mm. First six months of insurance. If you didn't have any accidents in 2025. First six months of 2026, they give you insurance. Kickback on all insurance. No health complications. Kick it back. No car accidents. Kick it back. You ain't drop your phone, kick it back. That's my idea of a Black Friday. Something that's gonna make my life better. A TV. How many goddamn TVs you need? TV in every room. God damn. TV in the closet, TV in the tub, TV in the pantry, TV on the toilet. TV in the garage mounted flat screens in the back of my Kia. TV on the, on the ring doorbell. How many goddamn TVS you think need goddamn appliances? You think we need. No, no, no. We need equitable education, free health care. A cost of living. The cost of living to go down. Yes. The wages to go up. Yes. And we need these billionaires to be taxed higher. Yes. When motherfuckers got money for war. When motherfuckers sending $50 billion over to Israel, when they send another 40 Argentina. I don't never hear you fucking Republicans talking about where's the money going to come from? We supply weapons to is not real to bomb children. I never hear you niggas say where's the money going to come from? But when we talk, start talking about taking care of poor and working class people, the people that actually make this society and economy run. It's always where's the money going to come from? It's going to come from you and me, nigga. I don't want to. I don't Want to raise all my taxes so these motherfucking billionaires can get tax cuts? No, they should be paying more in taxes. And the people who make the least wage in the country should. Should have lower taxes. Y' all want to really trickle it down? Trickle it down. If you take 10% from a person that made $100,000 a year, they contribute $10,000 to society every year versus a who make a million dollars a year, contribute 100,000 to society, that make 10 million a million to this seem like an equitable practice. More money, more problems. Huh? Heavy is the head. You want to be the king. You want to get all the money. Gotta take care of the people. That's what a good king does. Not press around like cyborg built Elon Musk cybertruck built body ass out here rigging elections in Germany and the US And y' all be in the comments. Bootlegging. Oh yeah? Well, he earned it. Earn what? Shut up. Shut your broke boot licking ass up. Y' all don't get tired of that? Gonna be her starving with no water but good AI, huh? Hey, at Chat Beach GPT put a five course meal on the screen so I can imagine what I could have to eat. Chappie GPT fill my screen up with water so I can imagine having a drink. Wrong with you, bruh. It's real resources. This ain't been around long enough to be destroying the planet like this. But anytime we start talking about doing for working class people, they. They hold. They hold him to the fire every time because he want to do right by the people in his city. The working class people. The people that help the city run. Your trash workers, your social workers, your firefighters, your bankers. And not Wall street bankers. I'm talking about the teller. The nurses. Want to make sure that they have an equitable stake in society. They can get back and forth through the city without it costing 10% of their fucking paycheck. That's a problem for you niggas. That's. That's a sick sad world. You niggas living in the Upside Down. But you have to be mindful of how the media will try to come back. Now they already soft launched combat in our boycotts with the Mariah Carey commercial. The elves are going on a strike. Called you elves. Called you Santa's little helper right to your face. But we got to understand how much of this is, is marketing and advertisement. Me and Big Cat. Organic growth. Me specifically. Organic growth never paid for a follower. Never paid for an ad. We are 100% organic growth podcasts and content creator platforms. I have never bought a follower. I have never paid to put a, to boost a video. I've never used fucking adsense, none of that shit. I never did none of that to, to, to, to boost up a video or to get a podcast in front of you. All this shit been off the muscle for the people. If you pay to get in front of me, you're running an ad. And once I see your ad, my job is done. You paying to be seen. You ain't paying for my engagement, you ain't paying for my opinion, you ain't paying for my content. Now how many people are paying to get in front of you? These news publications, they use ad dollars. That's just part of their budget marketing. Large pages that are not focused around a creator are mass marketing pages that is shade room, rap tv. And you got to ask yourself what are they advertising they pay to get in front of you and what are they paying to put in front of you? Because these big pages, millions of millions of followers and all this and that, and they sow seeds of division. Whoever was the, was the page that put out the report that we over consumed more than we did the year before. They're paid to put that out. Say cheese. Not taken away from the publication. I think they do good job in what they do and what they lane is. I don't feel like they so sees a division. But I know that if you have something that you want to be put to the masses, you can pay them to project that to the masses. Even if it is a dog shit freestyle or a bullshit opinion, you could pay these people to put you in front of people. And once I see your ad, my job is done. Because I didn't want to see it in the first place. It didn't come to me organically. You paid for it. So we need to be intentional with our consumption. If you're going to spend all day on social media, you, you need to be intentional with your consumption either. If you're not going to be intentional with your consumption, if you're not going to be mindful, if you're not going to be media literate, if you're not going to focus on what's the difference between organic art and an advertisement, then what's the point of doing anything? What's the point of it all? If the masses of humans are that easily manipulated, then what's the point? We're fighting a losing game. If you wake up every day to scroll that phone and you're not Intentional with your consumption, then you can't complain about the society. You should stay out of the comment sections because you ain't helping because you're not intentional. This is as basic as it is. A lot of these pages are only as big as they are because you engage. And a lot of these pages have figured out that it's just like the news. I can keep you on the hook if I can keep you mad. He who angers you controls you. A lot of right wing grifters, a lot of right wing conservative Twitter pages have been found out that they are operating out of Nigeria. They operate not a Russia. They operate not in Nepal. They operate out of India. They operating out of various Asian countries. What the fuck? What the fuck, dude? Any of these countries got to do Western politics? Bots. Bots. You arguing with motherfuckers that don't even exist. And they put it out massively. How many black, how many, how many AI pages do they create of various black women talking about I just got off crack cocaine, I just got off of alcohol. All these women look immaculate. Oh, I'm, I'm, I'm 12 months sober. So. Reinforced bots. Bots paid, bought and paid to reinforce harmful negative stereotypes about black people. A lot of times this is black women specific. Reinforcing mammy culture, reinforcing the idea of Jezebel, reinforcing the welfare queen, reinforcing the drug addict mom because they know that black women are going to be the loudest and on the front lines to fight against every attempt at fascism and every poor attempt at of capitalism to continue to destroy our communities. The provider mindset got niggas fucked up where we fall into this capitalistic shit. But commerce isn't necessarily being a capitalist, but being a temporarily embarrassed billionaire is. Being a temporarily embarrassed millionaire is. You don't want to see tax cuts for the rich because you still think you're going to be rich. Or, or you don't want to see increased taxes on the rich because you still daydreaming about being a millionaire. You got it on your vision board. You're going to be a billionaire. So you don't want to see eat the rich because you plan on being the rich. But why does it never cross anybody's mind to be rich and righteous? You don't want to change the game. You just want to be a player. It's time to change the game. It's time to be intentional. These large pages are likely propped up as tools of division. If, if, if the bulk of the Twitter pages that Are right wing conservative talking heads. Behind avatars are bots, then they're propped up as seeds of division and you arguing with automated responses. If you are that easily controlled and manipulated, then you probably need to get the fuck off social media because you're not going to see the progress you want to see. And there is no way to combat that in real time with real people who can only have one opinion blasted from one page. When you got corporations paying for 10,000 pages to put out the same rhetoric and it's a lottery for them, one of them gonna hit, one of y' all gonna respond to it. Because you don't have any emotional regulation when it comes to social media. You engage them with it as if it, as if it is the real world and they are stepping on your toes in real time. And you could be talking to an artificial being. You need to be more intentional with your consumption. We have to take the long route to do these things right. So I started, I started making content 2022, Just putting it out there. I didn't go for the regular talking points that everybody. I didn't put no rage bait out there. I wasn't just reacting to videos. I wasn't grifting right or left. I was out there being my true self state being my true self gonna forever be my true self. Because the path less taken has more rewards. If the path is laid out for you by others, it's always meant to benefit them in the end. Patrice o' Neil had a great analogy about this. When it comes to Hollywood versus people who are outliers in Hollywood, people that don't play the game, it's the beast. And the beast will eat you up and shit you out. It does it to everybody. The fucked up thing about the beast is when you in the belly, you make $2 million a week. So even though it shits you out, even though it toys with your ego, it toys with your image, it exposes your secrets and make up shit about you to slander you. It turn to people on you and off you. The same way they could turn people on to you, they could turn them off you. That's a risk you take when you take the wide path. That's the risk you take when you take the path of everybody else. The same people that put you in the bright lights can cast you into the shadows. And the fucked up thing is once it shit you out, your line right back up to get in the belly. Because you in the belly, you making 2 million a week that go for everything you want to be involved in this social media space, you want to be a creator so bad, you'll sit here and make up. You sit here and lie about that happen in your life. You'll make up a personality, you make up a gimmick. And then you'll take the low hanging fruit that they give to you. Prize picks, dick, pills, alcohol. You take all the low hanging fruit they give to you, they'll put you in the bright lights and then they'll have something like the Shade Room. They have somebody like the DL Whisperer make up lies about you. And because you didn't build yourself and because it wasn't real and went organic. Gonna believe whatever they hear about you because they don't know nothing about you. Because you ain't never really been real. Took the path that everybody else taking. It's the same thing they do in Hollywood. That's why our stars, they go up and then they fall down. You don't know if. You don't know if this shit they saying about these people real or not. And the fucked up thing about it is once y' all already talking about it, y' all already believe it. I've been hearing stories about myself about shit that I ain't never did in my life. What the fuck niggas out here lying on my dick. Fuck me. That's nasty work. But you gotta. You gotta get your money somehow. It might start out as true, you might have the T. But what happened when you gotta make up the tea to stay relevant? You on a slippery slope. You on a hamster wheel. Now you living a fake ass life with fake ad information that can't be backed by facts. Now he's just mess gossip. Now you just E News. You just saying just to say it. Because you desperate for engagement, you desperate for views. Because you prop this off of a fairy tale, off a fantasy, off of. But the real ain't gonna die. You can't kill the real, bro. Take the path less taken. Appreciate what you got, Appreciate where you are, appreciate who you are. Stay authentic, stay organic. Because once you stay authentic, motherfucker can't tell you who you is. And as long as you know you being real with you, you don't got to defend yourself because you sleep good at night. You know what the truth is. You know what your life like for real. These gonna believe anything somebody tell them. That's why they on the Internet. It's a way of disassociating from their reality that they might not be doing the things they do. They don't Want to blame capitalism because they temporarily embarrass millionaires, they still dreaming. I can go get three four side hustles and I could get create 20 streams of income and I too will be a millionaire. And when I get there, I don't want to be taxed. You want to enjoy the benefits of a corrupt system. Same corrupt system that's squeezing you, squeezing you dry, boot on your neck. And you wouldn't lick a boot for a little bit longer because you think it's going to happen for you. But the path that's laid out for you by others is always meant to benefit them. In the end. If they can give it to you, they can take it away. If you earn it, can't do nothing with it. You go to college, you go get that degree, that knowledge that you got and the accolade that you got, can't nobody take that away from you. You go get you a skilled trade. Hey look, no matter what happened, I know I can go get in the truck, I'm gonna get some money, but I ain't got to worry about that because I ain't come here faking the funk. And if you ain't build me up, you can't take me down. When you take the long way, you'll appreciate the scenery and you got the endurance. See them motherfuckers that take that wide road, the road that's all accepting. Come, come one, come all. You have to walk far to get there. You ain't have to pay for the lights, you have to build it up. They built it up for you. They already had the character in mind when they seen you. They got the low hanging fruit that you ready to eat. So when times get dark, you don't know how to, you don't know how to endure. But when you take that long road, you know that sometimes it's going to be some, some peaks. And when you hit that peak, make sure you pause, you look out at the scenery, you take it in because you earned your way to that scene, you earned that view. And you know that when you in that valley that all you got to do is keep moving forward. And when you arrive, you arrive alive. They can't chew you up and shit you out because you ain't here to be eight. I'm here to, I'm here to make my own machine. I'm a beast all by myself because I took long way, all that shortcut. What's the thing, what's the thing about fat food time? They hand it to you that cold time you Drive out the, drive through that cold. You got to start eating that right away. That, that, that, that good home cooked meal. You eat on that about two, three days. Oh, yeah. Fast food that get cold, you don't even waste your time reheating that. Just go back and buy some more. A lot of y' all fast food with your life. You don't take yourself seriously. You don't believe you can do it. So many examples of people that did it before. But it's not the easy way out.

And what they give you, Destruction, lust and gambling, alcohol, dick pills and gambling. Playing with your motherfucking life. Always fleeting. When you. When times get dark, you don't know what to do because you're taking a wide path. But when you take the long road, you learn how to build a fire on your own. So even if it get dark and it get cold, you know how to build a fire. When they bring the fire to you, they can always take it away. Take the path less taken.
