No matter what, you're going to be fine.

And then it's just like, well, I was happy there too. I shouldn't be scared to lose any of this stuff because this stuff is conditional. And it's like, I'm going to be good wherever I'm at.

You imprint that in a young child by building up his confidence. And that's one of the things I love about my boy. It's like he's so confident. That's something that I want to keep feeding him. Even on the song I wrote about him on my album, I said, I see my inner child in him is still the remnants. Will he lose it to the world as an imminent?

My mom's great aunt, who was like an old woman, my mom would go visit her in North Carolina, was born a slave. So that just goes to show you how close that lineage is too, right? It's like, it kind of feels like it's so far away, but it's not. She was an old woman and my mom was a baby, but my mom is alive now. So the connection of that is like few and far between.
