Like E, you are super social and you'd rather talk than work.
You know what I'm saying?
I just had to grow up one day and just be real with myself and just say, E, the only way you're going to be successful is you got to discipline yourself.
You know, when you look at a horse, I'm talking about a thoroughbred, it still needs that, what is that thing called that they put on it?
He still needs that without, you know, you can't, you got to control him.
You know, he got a lot of juice, got a lot of energy.
He can go for it.
But you got to hone that.
And so I realized, like, yo, E, you'd sleep in.
You'd play video games.
Don't lie to yourself.
You are powerful.
But you have some vices.
And you have some vices that take you down a crazy road.
Like, you are your father.
You are your grandfather.
You are your mother.
You are your grandmother.
Like, it's real.
And so I started saying, okay, E, you got to discipline yourself.
