I was, like, observing that, really taking it in as a young person that, like, this shit don't make me feel good.
Because there's something behind this where I know I'm with my sisters and I know they, like, my mama took her time and got them all done up and they look beautiful and y'all ain't saying shit.
And, like, I don't even want to be here.
And y'all complimenting me.
You know what I'm saying?
They happy to be around.
I'm like, man, I want to play the game.
I want to be with my friends.
I don't even know these folk.
You know what I'm saying?
This family, you know, it's like these folk.
You know, these folk like, yeah, you know, I remember when you was, man, I don't know you, man.
You know what I'm saying?
But I think the thing is, it made me very aware of young.

So it's like, I don't want to ever get involved in that shit.
I don't never want to get involved in like,
