Get your foundation.

The school is a black school.

Got black teachers.

You got black, you know.

Get that good foundation, and then now you can go into the world and be around anybody.

I don't know how to work for everybody else, but that's how it worked for me.

It seems to have worked for my kids, too.

They haven't been around it yet because a lot of us get...

successful and then we want to raise our kids a certain way.

I know I didn't live in the hood, but, you know, I made sure that they went to those schools.

You know, even now I don't, you know, my neighbors don't talk to me, you know, and I don't care.

You know, because it's like I drive my home.

I just live there, you know, and I drive off and I do my life, you know, wherever I'm doing it.

But, you know, we say hello and...

I'm not trying to go to their house.

They're not trying to come to mine.

I'm just fine with that.

Yeah, and I'm sure they're fine with it as well.

I think as long as you're cordial to each other, it shouldn't be a problem.

Yeah.
