As time goes on, you realize, you know, at a young age, you're very immature in the fact of what your value of life is.

And I remember a point my senior year when a friend of mine got murdered and it could have easily been me.

But it set off something in my head that was like, you know, you talk about what pivotal moments have changed and like that.

It set off something in my head that was like, okay, that could have been me.

So there's some changes that I need to make in my life about where I'm at, who I'm with, and how I go about it, especially if I want to have a future.

Because it made me feel like I was like anybody else.

I was no different.

You know, I can have a great honor roll, but still be out here doing some stuff in the streets I have no business doing.

And, you know, I make sure I tell those stories because I think they're relatable to our young generation because I tell them all the time.

If you have 10 friends, I mean, if you have 10 friends being bad, you'll be the ninth.

Like nine friends being bad, you'll be the 10th.

You know, it's like your environment, you'll become a product of your environment, even if just by an accessory because you were just there.

You may have not even done it.

But we have a lot of people that's in a cemetery or in prison right now just because they were in the same place at the wrong time.

And I think it's so important that you, it's about your support group because we all be supported to talk about what we talked about earlier, giving each other flowers.

You need to see people that value you, that want to see you do well to say, Hey, Ike, you know what, man, you might be a little drunk, but we'll go and get to the career.

You know what I'm saying?

Like you own because they value who you are and what you look like.

The simplest thing is that, but also celebrate you celebrate because I'm on this show because I'm also going to celebrate them.

They got a promotion.
