Speaker B:

My granny had to raise me.

Speaker B:

They tried to put me on Ritalin.

Speaker B:

But my granny took me off.

Speaker B:

Like, he don't need this.

Speaker B:

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker B:

So just going through that stage, I'm talking about at school.

Speaker B:

I had to go to the principal office in the morning, at lunchtime.

Speaker B:

And towards the end of school, if I'm not mistaken, Granny, don't whoop me.

Speaker A:

Don't whoop him.

Speaker B:

But to the point that she was like, we gotta take him off this shit.

Speaker B:

It's slowing him down.

Speaker B:

You feel me?

Speaker B:

So it's crazy.

Speaker B:

Cause it's like I was the one that was going through all that.

Speaker B:

And I was like the black sheep my whole life.

Speaker B:

And, you know, we moved around a lot.

Speaker B:

So everywhere we went, it was somewhere new.

Speaker B:

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker B:

So it was like going through all that other personal situations.

Speaker B:

My granny be telling me, and my momma be telling me, like, talk about it.

Speaker B:

Cause they think this shit fake.

Speaker B:

But my granny at the same time be like, nigga, hold on now.

Speaker B:

I asked her the other day, like, where your articles at when they kicked your door in?

Speaker B:

You feel me?

Speaker B:

Cause it's like, so people can get understanding and can understand me.

Speaker B:

Besides being on Ritalin, I think it was.

Speaker B:

I don't wanna put my granny on blast like that.

Speaker A:

I mean, but it's not.

Speaker B:

But I think the worst thing we've been through was being evicted.

Speaker B:

Right?

Speaker B:

Then we had to move to Oakland.

Speaker B:

And then we had to go from pillow to post.

Speaker B:

And we had hotel rooms before we stuck our steak in Vallejo.

Speaker B:

I think that was some of the worst things.

Speaker B:

But the worst feeling ever was just not having my parents pick me up from school.

Speaker B:

Like, me and my brother was just Talking about that shit.

Speaker B:

Like, these niggas be acting like.

Speaker B:

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker B:

We learned how to sit back and stack and do all that.

Speaker A:

You ain't gotta tell me twab.

Speaker B:

We learned how to put it in and make sure it come back.

Speaker B:

Speaker B:

That's how I apply it to the music.

Speaker B:

When niggas was sleeping on me and nobody was really like, it was people fucking with me.

Speaker B:

I'm a pimp on the world.

Speaker A:

That's fire.

It's better like that way you go out there and learn new things.

Speaker B:

You deal with different people, right?

Speaker B:

You learning how to do other things, learning how to work with your hands, learning how to get some real skills about life, though, not just the underworld.

Speaker B:

The underworld is going to be there, but it's a time where you supposed to transition and become a business owner and take the hustle money and become a car wash owner or open a barber shop.

Speaker B:

And you know what I'm saying?

Speaker B:

Your girl's supposed to be in school learning how to do something else and steal if she got some regulars or something.

Speaker A:

Speaking of, are you single?

Speaker A:

Speaker B:

You can't talk about that.

It's just all you thinking about is hustling and making plays and doing all this and this and that.

You know, they, you know, I've been.

Speaker A:

We gonna get raised for real.

Speaker B:

Hey, they've been saying like on everything, you know, so crazy.

Speaker B:

They've been.

Speaker B:

They've been on the Gram just having these discussions about, like the Bay Area.

Speaker B:

And then they've been having discussions about like, we shouldn't glorify pimping and stuff like that no more.

Speaker B:

And all them discussions been popping up on my timeline.

Speaker B:

And I be sitting back like, I'm just sitting here.

Speaker B:

How you gonna tell somebody what to do with their life?

Speaker A:

I've been actually seeing them post Bay Area rappers stop talking about pimping and all.

Speaker A:

That song, let's play that.

Speaker A:

I mean, it's a real thing, though.

Speaker B:

It been.

Speaker B:

It's in the Bible.

Speaker A:

What?

Speaker A:

That ain't in the Bible.

Speaker B:

It's in the Bible.

Speaker A:

You know what?

Speaker A:

That's a whole another topic.

Speaker A:

I don't think that's the correct terminology.

Speaker B:

It's not the terminology.

Speaker B:

It's not.

Speaker B:

It's not saying pimping in the Bible, but how many wives did he have?

Speaker A:

I don't know.

Speaker A:

I thought Adam only had Eve.

Speaker B:

I didn't know it was not Adam and Eve.

Speaker A:

Sabrina, we talking about.

Speaker B:

We talking about a whole different story.

Speaker B:

They got Joseph, they got David, they had wives and had.

Speaker A:

You definitely need to be my co host.

Speaker A:

Cause see, you starting.

Speaker A:

This is controversy.

Speaker B:

It wasn't.

Speaker A:

This is a problem.

Speaker B:

It wasn't in that terminology of pimp.

Speaker B:

But all I'm saying to say is this.

Speaker B:

It been here before time.

Speaker B:

You can't stop something that was here before we was even here.

Speaker A:

I mean, that's anything.

Speaker A:

I guess you're right.

Speaker A:

That's anything.

Speaker B:

That's just like telling somebody, don't grow up and be an athlete.

Speaker A:

Them ain't the same.

Speaker B:

It's what's on this earth.

Speaker B:

It's some things that's gonna happen regardless.

Speaker B:

It don't make it right, but you gotta do a little right.

Speaker B:

You gotta do a little wrong to get right.

Speaker B:

Some of us do a little wrong.

Speaker A:

I'm say I have to agree with this man.

Speaker B:

It's okay to agree, to disagree, but all I'm saying.

Speaker B:

What I'm trying to say is this.

Speaker B:

You can't.

Speaker B:

If we take that out of the category, right, we take pimps out the

Speaker A:

situation, it won't be no.

Speaker B:

Yes, it will.

Speaker A:

Yeah, you're right.

Speaker A:

Cause I was renegade.

Speaker A:

I mean it.

Speaker A:

Say it right here.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

You got a copy?

Speaker A:

You right about that.

Speaker A:

I'll take that.

Speaker B:

All this is 300 foes that turned out niggas to be pimps.

Speaker A:

Absolutely.

Speaker B:

That's just like two.

Speaker B:

That's like saying we shouldn't have no more porn sites.

Speaker A:

Yeah, I love.

Speaker B:

Without a camera, she's still gonna.

Speaker B:

In Keys movies, it ain't on the man, it ain't on the women.

Speaker B:

It's just on the individual, on how they feel, how you can.

Speaker A:

Well, it take two.

Speaker A:

It take two.

Speaker B:

It take two.

Speaker B:

But it take the trick, too.

Speaker A:

Absolutely.

Speaker B:

Tell the doctors, tell the police officers, tell the judges, tell your dentist, tell the motherfucker that's working at Safeway to stop buying pussy.

Speaker A:

Your daddy and your grandpappy.

Speaker B:

You can't just blame the pimps.

Speaker A:

Your grandmama, too.

Speaker B:

And I'm not just saying that.

Speaker B:

It's okay.

Speaker B:

I'm not saying it's the right thing to do.

Speaker B:

But it's a whole fucking industry.

Speaker A:

It is.

Speaker B:

It's a whole cycle.

Speaker A:

You got to read my book.

Speaker B:

It's a cycle.

Speaker B:

I'm gonna read it.

Speaker A:

I don't look like this.

Speaker B:

I'm just.

Speaker B:

I'm just saying it's a cycle.

Speaker B:

You need to.

Speaker B:

Instead of saying that, say, we need to stop buying pussy tricks.

Speaker A:

Ooh.

Speaker A:

But then it wouldn't be a better place.

Speaker B:

Exactly.

Speaker A:

So you right.

Speaker A:

I give you that one.

Speaker A:

You won.

Speaker B:

And snakes shouldn't eat rats

Speaker A:

and fat people shouldn't eat donuts.

Speaker A:

So, I mean, you know what?

Speaker B:

You right.

Speaker B:

Let.

Speaker B:

Mind your business.

Speaker B:

Period.

Speaker B:

Mind your business.

Speaker B:

That's not our business.

Speaker A:

Well, listen.

Speaker B:

And I was out there, and I don't.

Speaker B:

I don't.

Speaker B:

I'm not in it.

Speaker B:

You feel me?

Speaker B:

But I come from it.

Speaker B:

I come from the streets.

Speaker B:

So it's like.

Speaker A:

Unfortunately, some people don't have an IQ

Speaker B:

to go fill out an application until they bump their head five times.

Speaker B:

They Got to go to the pen a couple times or catch a couple cases before they get their mind right.

Speaker B:

You can't just sit up here and tell somebody to stop doing something.

Speaker A:

That's true, that's true.

Speaker A:

And you know.

Speaker B:

Know how many times I tell my mama to get off drugs?

Speaker B:

Ooh, come on, bro, what are you talking about?

Speaker A:

So let me ask you this.

Speaker A:

You know that I, like I said, I deal with a lot of these foster youth.

Speaker A:

And you said that you were depressed since you were a child, right?

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

What would you tell my foster youth?

Speaker A:

Because, you know, this is what I started.

Speaker A:

This whole shenanigans, the cameras, everything.

Speaker A:

This is what I started it for my foster youth because they overlooked a lot of people want to take care of grown men and grown women and rehab and drug addicts.

Speaker A:

What about kids that didn't want to be in the system and it ain't they fault.

Speaker A:

What'd you tell him?

Speaker B:

I relate to that a lot.

Speaker B:

My granny had to go get my brother from Ohio cause my mama put him in the system.

Speaker B:

But I tell him there is a way.

Speaker B:

Don't think it's not.

Speaker B:

You're not alone.

Speaker B:

I'm a product of it.

Speaker B:

My brother's a product of it.

Speaker B:

And you know, I started looking at things, I don't know, everybody situation.

Speaker B:

But my parents, both my parents was in jail.

Speaker B:

My mom was running the streets and, you know, on drugs and in and out of jail.

Speaker B:

And my dad just got 30 and had to do 23 off of 30.

Speaker B:

So I didn't have none of my parents in the household.

Speaker B:

The discipline is so many.

Speaker B:

Fatherless, motherless, childless period.

Speaker B:

So I'm in the same boat when it come to that.

Speaker B:

So I just started looking at it as, you know, some people don't have the mentality to deal with it as an individual.

Speaker B:

That's facts.

Speaker B:

That's what gave me the understanding of giving them they forgiveness on some y' all probably couldn't even in the 80s.

Speaker B:

This is way worse than what this shit is now.

Speaker B:

So y' all probably didn't have the understanding or the mentality to even deal with the shit that was going on in your environment.

Speaker B:

And they from the ghetto, probably ghetto born and raised in the ghetto, right?

Speaker B:

So you know, influences not saying they was followers.

Speaker B:

But you know, I started looking at it from their perspective, right?

Speaker B:

And that's what gave and because I was damaging myself.

Speaker B:

So I'm like, I'm hurting myself.

Speaker B:

I didn't went through all this shit.

Speaker B:

Now I'm sitting in here shot up by the police.

Speaker B:

I'm hurting myself.

Speaker B:

You feel me?

Speaker B:

And then I got more people that love me, that dislike me, but at the same time, I got people that's really disliking me for no reason.

Speaker B:

For no reason.

Speaker B:

And I'm.

Speaker B:

And I'm this boy.

Speaker B:

I'm this little boy.

Speaker B:

Y' all going home to y' all parents, y' all mama, y' all daddy.

Speaker B:

And I'm going home without my parents to trauma, my granny doing her best, right?

Speaker B:

Welfare, all that, like.

Speaker B:

But y' all going home to y' all parents, but y' all coming outside hating on a nigga like me.

Speaker B:

Mm.

Speaker B:

They gonna hate us because they ain't us.

Speaker A:

Ooh, I like it.

Speaker A:

Well, let me tell you this.

Speaker A:

We gonna wrap this up.

Speaker A:

Because to me, like I said, you just said that a lot of people don't do for you.

Speaker A:

And you always giving, right?

Speaker A:

So you know, Dr. Stantz is like the motherfucking Christmas.

Speaker B:

There's people that do, but like I said, it's.

Speaker A:

It's different, Slim.

Speaker A:

You're more of a giver.

Speaker A:

You're the giver.

Speaker A:

You're always giving.

Speaker A:

You give more, receive.

Speaker B:

And right now, I'm on a level to where I'm being selfish as fuck.

Speaker A:

I swear to God.

Speaker A:

Look at my YouTube.

Speaker A:

Let me tell you something.

Speaker B:

They caught.

Speaker B:

They caught me at a time to

Speaker A:

where I'm like, this 20, 26.

Speaker A:

You know what my favorite word is?

Speaker A:

Guess what my favorite word is.

Speaker A:

No.

Speaker B:

I got ghosts.

Speaker A:

No.

Speaker A:

And guess what?

Speaker A:

I just put this YouTube out where I'm going to say it four different ways.

Speaker A:

It's going to be.

Speaker A:

Let me think about it.

Speaker A:

It's gonna be the firm.

Speaker A:
