But yeah, you definitely look up one day and you're stressed about all of this.

But, you know, I've never been... I've never been negative in that sense.

You know, my dad... I remember one time in the seventh grade, I was in a dunking booth for our soccer team.

And he didn't raise money for uniforms.

And my pops found out and he came and he cussed me out in front of everybody.

It was like they just...

I got straight undressed by my pops in front of everybody about you don't make a fool of yourself because it was a fairly mixed situation.

And there were some white people that were throwing balls.

There were black people in line, too.

But you turn that corner, you saw that white person trying to dunk a black kid.

And he just said, you know, it might be a joke to you, but it ain't a joke to them.

And I never understood that till like probably a decade and a half later.

But he just, he was not, you can raise money, but you're not gonna raise money like that.

You're just not gonna let people do you like that.

You gotta have some self-respect.

If you're gonna joke, you gotta have self-respect.

To this day, I don't know if my pops would approve of my career until like age 33.

Like when I started talking about

like real shit.

Stop doing jokes about gas prices and student loans, which I'm sure he didn't care about.
