just turned 39, midnight hit, me and my wife were leaving and I put it on in the car and it was like he was talking to me in that moment. That was the soundtrack for my life right then and there. Where I was in my life, therapy, dealing with issues with my pops, being faithful to my wife, like being apologetic, you know, the things I've done to my wife, right? The cheating on my wife.

Like that was... mind-blowing to me. And I was like, oh, okay, God, I see exactly what you're doing. Kendrick Lamar, you listen to his album, Mr. Morale and the Big Stepper. He's talking about, yo, his wife is on this thing. Yo, you really need to go seek some therapy. He's got this song on there called Father Time, where he talks about his issues with his dad. Men don't talk about that.

You know, it's always when it comes to daddy issues, you think women. But no, the daddy issues that you have as a man are real, too. So it's like I knew we were beyond ready for these conversations because these conversations were already happening in our community. They were just being done in secret. When I put out that book, Shook One, it came out in 2018.

And I remember it was the week of Thanksgiving, 2018. I'm home in Moncks Corner, South Carolina, and my dad calls me. And my dad is like, yo, man, I just finished reading your book, Shook One. And he goes, you know, your cousin just committed suicide. My cousin's 25 years old, young man, tried to complete suicide four times. And he was like, he used to do a lot of odd jobs with my father.

And my father was like, yeah, man, between that and your book, I just wanted to tell you, man, you know, I was going to therapy two and three times a week and I tried to commit suicide 30 plus years ago. And, you know, I was on 10 to 12 different medications for my mental health. And I'm like, I never knew any of this.

And so I remember asking my mom, like, mom, did you know dad was dealing with all of this? And my mom was like, I thought he was just playing crazy to get a check. Right. But he really was dealing with his own issues. And he never told me this. But imagine if he would have told me this when I was young. I would have knew what those panic attacks were.

I would have knew what those bouts of depression were. But he never, ever told me any of those things. So I think our community has always been ready for these conversations. Hip hop community, the black community, it just takes somebody to have the courage to speak them.

Conversations with other people. I always credit folks like Neil Brennan, my young guy, Pete Davidson, who's been going to therapy for a long time. Women in my life like Debbie Brown, who was just an amazing spiritual leader, has been a longtime friend of mine for almost 20 years. These were people who I always heard having these conversations. And when I was Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,

,,,,,,, What am I supposed to learn from this moment? Thank you, God, for the experience of going through it. Like, I'm really big on that. I'm really big on thanking God when things are not necessarily going my way because they're probably going my way. You understand what I'm saying?

That's right. And I'm 46 years old. I've lived enough life to know God has not led me in the wrong direction yet. Yeah. So whatever moment I'm standing in, I'm supposed to be standing in in that moment and I need to deal with it. You know, that's what my wife bought me to let them there is because, you know, one of the things that I've been just dealing with is just wondering about other people.

I've had different experiences in my life where sometimes people resent me for what I'm actually doing for them. Meaning like you can be actually doing good things for a person or have done really good things for a person or, you know, provided opportunities for a person. And that person will grow to resent you.

Like I've literally had I've had a friend say to me one time, I don't want to do this deal with you because if I do it, people are going to continue the narrative. I only get things because of you. And I'm like, that's strange. Like, you know, because I would I would love to have a me. And I've had I've had a lot of people in my life provide me opportunity.

I've had a lot of people in my life get me on the right path or, you know, allow me access to things that have gotten me opportunity. So why would you ever feel like I don't care if I'm with one person that's provided me 10 different opportunities? Like, why would that be a thing? And I've had just friends in my life who, regardless of how much I've done.

for them they act like I did nothing and I'm not the type of person to be like remember I did this for you I did that for you I just do things I don't even care like I just feel like that's what you're supposed to do when you're in a certain position you share you know the wealth you share the opportunity so to find out that that person is like oh he don't do nothing for me what

Now you got to run down the list in your mind. Now I got to go in my mind and be like, was I bugging when I did this? And to me, that feels cheap to have to do that. But sometimes you got to do that to remind yourself, it's not me. It's this person.

Can you expound on the threatened by your own generosity?
