Nothing to do with being brave, really. It's got to do with just common sense in life. For me, whatever you deal with, it's done. Okay, deal with it. Go to bed, whatever. But you do that, that other thing, you're gone. That never ends. This thing ends.

The only thing I had at that point in my life, in my stupid mind, was a reputation that I would stand up to certain things. That was like, and that for me was worth something, whatever, because I didn't feel any worth to anything else. That was the only thing I felt a connection of worth to, so. So stood your ground. So I say, no, I made a decision. Yes.

I stood my ground, but I actually, things do slow down. They do. And I actually said, it's a double seven. He's got to flick it. But he's got to flick it. I get a split second. Either, like I said, either I do nothing, whatever, or I get to him before he gets it flicked. I went to get to him before he got flicked. And just as I... Got close to him. I did him a favor.

I walked right into a counterpunch. Because I cooperated with him. I went right to him. And just as I, he practiced more than I did with the 007, apparently. Because he was like, boom, boom, boom, boom. And anyway. Anyway.

No, you know what I thought about him was... You don't know who anyone is until they're tested. And I learned that. Cus used to tell me, but I learned it. He used to say, I remember one time Cus, I was a 17, 18-year-old kid up there, and, you know, thought I was whatever I thought I was.
