Also the power out of what anybody can ever say about me I used to know I believe you I agree with everything you say I always say live your truth So nobody can use your truth against you well boy. They will try they'll try The truth of the matter is but if it's real like when you cut it open and it's real and you actually grew from it And you actually learn from the cheating And you actually did the work and went to therapy and you actually, yeah no I did embezzle that money but I'm not gonna do that never again. And like when you actually grow, I believe that this life is about progression not perfection. And on the gram and in front of people we're always trying to present progression, but I really

Believe like when you cut it all down is one baby step in front of another baby step in front of another baby step and you Look up and like how did I get here? It was a bunch of small moments that got you to this you say that but then I don't I don't think people necessarily care about That right because let's let's take one of the biggest things I think people been talking about in the last week right Jada Pinkett Smith's yeah, right people have been talking about how she's so foul on will and how she did this and But we always talk about tell you truth, right? Yeah good bad or indifferent. We don't know what happened in their relationship I have no idea where your marriage is the way my marriage is the way they marry his marriages It's not the way their marriage Might be. So we don't know, but people have been killing them and killing their relationship based on things that we don't know when she was just sharing her truth because please believe I'm sure there's somebody out there that's living a life just like them and now feels comfortable being able to talk about it. But those are moments. Like think about what y'all talked about a year ago compared to what y'all talk about today compared to what you're gonna talk about next month. The truth of the matter is in the culture that we, the feedback culture that we live in.

Right now. Everybody's just trying to say what's going to get them a happy meal off of the YouTube clips. That's what everybody's trying to say right now. But the truth of the matter is the person that is In the situation that's in the fire, is that fire actually purifying something out of you? Is that fire actually making you into something? It actually purifies the real and so most people every piece of gold and jewelry had to be Put against fire the problem is when it's not Authentically who you are when it's not really what's in you that stuff gets melted away, and that's where people get Exposed. That's where people like they talk, I was all about this and I all about this. When fire hit it shows like that's not what you was really about. And so for me, I just think that too many people, especially black, especially black people, we do not face the damage that we went through. We run from it. We go away from it. We try to Gucci Louis it down. We try to get out of the.

April who we try to but the truth of the matter is we're running from an insecurity at 15 putting K guys in on dog That's what I like to say. Wouldn't say it like that, but because you said it like that, I'm gonna say, Amen. But the truth of the matter is we're hoping people don't actually find... Out what it really is and we're about to go into Thanksgiving people going back to families they hate we're going back into Christmas people about to buy expensive stuff and go into debt for children that they don't know but they keep Jordan to up right like just think about all the things like these kids don't even know who they real daddy is Or who their actual family is, but instead of facing it, instead of going to counseling with our kids, instead of just saying, I'm sorry, like, we just gon' kill-- eat moving on up. We gonna keep buying new cars. We gonna keep getting new wigs and I'm like yo something has to change. We have to deal with our damage and I believe that God
