I mean, if you want to speak about, like, just life experience shit, they definitely playing the game on all matter.

So they got to know more than the average person.

Yeah.

Especially, like, you know, dealing with homelessness and addiction at the same time.

I got a sister dealing with addiction.

Every now and then she going to call me and hit me with some real game.

I just think, I'm reflecting on like.

I was telling, I had an interview with Kevin on stage and I was telling him like, when I had my baby, I went to go get like my first real job.

And like, I was there for like three weeks and I was like, man, y'all do this shit every day?

I just wake up, then these folks coming in on their lunch break, I could be outside doing whatever, but bigger picture, it was easier to make that decision when I'm doing it for somebody beside myself.

You said there's a part where you talk about being at the All-Star Game and the theme of act like you've been here before.

And it's less about an act and more about just having radical confidence and persistence, just that knowing.

What can you tell the audience about persistence and how you applied it first in your neighborhood, then in the entertainment industry, and overall in life?

Gotta act like you supposed to be there.

You got to be ready to walk into the room before you get to the door.

Yeah.

In high school, we had went to this little store we used to go to.

I went in there really big on the thieves and shit, but my homeboy was always stealing.

I never know he had nothing until we leave the store.

And then, he was like, shit, we finna go smoke.
