00:00:08.679 --> 00:00:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Haters is your marketing team. Let them work. Let me

2
00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:13.919
<v Speaker 1>explain something to you. You know what haters do. They

3
00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:16.879
<v Speaker 1>tell the world about you. They're free marketing. And what

4
00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:19.440
<v Speaker 1>they do. If you really to shut out here and

5
00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:21.920
<v Speaker 1>you ain't playing no games, and I'm talking about you

6
00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:24.920
<v Speaker 1>kicking that out here. When a hater tells somebody about

7
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:26.960
<v Speaker 1>you and they go look you up and do something,

8
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:30.120
<v Speaker 1>you got new supporters. They introduce new people to you

9
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:32.679
<v Speaker 1>because they always talking about you, so they don't even matter.

10
00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:35.759
<v Speaker 1>Like he said, booze, do not block no shots. Yelling

11
00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:38.640
<v Speaker 1>and hecting, do not block no shots. They gonna have

12
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:40.640
<v Speaker 1>you leaving the game telling somebody how you hate me

13
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:43.280
<v Speaker 1>so much or whatever's going on. Cool to me, this

14
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:45.679
<v Speaker 1>is what we got to understand. Everything you want is

15
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:48.000
<v Speaker 1>out here. See to me, the world is one big library,

16
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:52.759
<v Speaker 1>and everybody's a book. You got books on coding, you

17
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:55.920
<v Speaker 1>got books on mechanics, you got books on culinary you

18
00:00:56.039 --> 00:01:01.719
<v Speaker 1>got comedic books, you got street novels, you got crime men, annuals.

19
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Read your books wisely, choose them, wisely watch what books

20
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:10.040
<v Speaker 1>you read. But every human being on here got a journey,

21
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:13.519
<v Speaker 1>and they know something that you might don't know. So

22
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:16.079
<v Speaker 1>it's like everything is out here. But what made it

23
00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:19.560
<v Speaker 1>even more possible is that that world. That's the library.

24
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:22.239
<v Speaker 1>I got it in my pocket and the phone. You

25
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:23.959
<v Speaker 1>got to reevaluate yourself and you got to have a

26
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:27.879
<v Speaker 1>real conversation with self. Everything is in here. Everything you

27
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:31.040
<v Speaker 1>need to know is inside of you, and you got

28
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:33.280
<v Speaker 1>to get to know you sometimes. You got to you

29
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:36.480
<v Speaker 1>got to remove yourself from people, places and things that's

30
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:39.359
<v Speaker 1>not just not going to allow you to embrace the

31
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:43.040
<v Speaker 1>reality and your individualism of who you are. And that's

32
00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:46.959
<v Speaker 1>that's what's important. That's the most important ever and it's

33
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:49.079
<v Speaker 1>already in you. People tell me, how why is you

34
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:49.560
<v Speaker 1>acting me?

35
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:51.359
<v Speaker 2>You know?

36
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:53.760
<v Speaker 1>You know your journey, you know what's holding you back.

37
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:55.439
<v Speaker 1>You know the horrors of your life, you know the

38
00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:57.799
<v Speaker 1>joys of your life. You know who your parents was,

39
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:00.719
<v Speaker 1>the house you broke, grew up in, what affected you.

40
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:03.159
<v Speaker 1>Whereas though you feel as though you stop growing, you

41
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:06.599
<v Speaker 1>stop living, you stop dreaming. Moment, when was that? Go

42
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:08.759
<v Speaker 1>back and deal with that, figure it out, you know

43
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:10.759
<v Speaker 1>what I mean. If you need a therapist, do that whatever.

44
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:14.439
<v Speaker 1>But you got to have a conversation with self about

45
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:17.599
<v Speaker 1>the reality of your journey and Once you connect with that,

46
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:19.120
<v Speaker 1>it's a wrap.

47
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:22.599
<v Speaker 2>All things you put in your mind of why you

48
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:25.680
<v Speaker 2>can't win or why you can't do this. Oh they racist,

49
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:29.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh this, Oh they hating. That's all bullsh make it happen.

50
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:33.319
<v Speaker 2>Let me tell you something. Every key to every closed

51
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:37.000
<v Speaker 2>door on this planet is right here in your mind.

52
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:39.520
<v Speaker 2>All you got to do is believe in yourself and

53
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:42.719
<v Speaker 2>stop bissing, stop making excuses.

54
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:47.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't have Tom. Tom is not waiting for me.

55
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:51.120
<v Speaker 1>Tom is not my friend. Tom don't like nobody. Tom

56
00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:53.800
<v Speaker 1>hate all of us. Tom is trying to stay awake

57
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:56.159
<v Speaker 1>from us. You think I'm a waste the rest of

58
00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:58.159
<v Speaker 1>the time that I got to be operating out here

59
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:03.240
<v Speaker 1>crying and complain it, blaming somebody. No, you know how

60
00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:05.919
<v Speaker 1>much time and energy people spend the average parison, and

61
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:09.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm just doing the ballpark figure. They spend years and years,

62
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:12.960
<v Speaker 1>maybe a decade, complaining the wining, and still nothing change.

63
00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:14.919
<v Speaker 1>I could be using that time to change my life.

64
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:16.439
<v Speaker 1>I could be using that time and to brace the

65
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:19.000
<v Speaker 1>reality of life and the reality that I'd done to

66
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:22.120
<v Speaker 1>put myself. I paid for my ticket, I got on

67
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:24.520
<v Speaker 1>the train. It was many stops that came. I didn't

68
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:26.400
<v Speaker 1>get off at them stops. I went to the final

69
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:29.319
<v Speaker 1>destination of the bulls that I was living in. I

70
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:31.840
<v Speaker 1>enjoyed being that I was married to the streets in Philadelphia.

71
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:35.360
<v Speaker 1>I enjoyed that dumb. So I had to okay, I

72
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:37.360
<v Speaker 1>went through the process of that dumb. I grew up.

73
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:40.680
<v Speaker 1>I evolved from that now and it's time to live now.

74
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:42.280
<v Speaker 1>It's time to just be out here on the journey

75
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:46.639
<v Speaker 1>through life, experiencing new things, new ideas, exposure. And that's

76
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:49.360
<v Speaker 1>what I realized. I wasn't a lot of us don't

77
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:52.280
<v Speaker 1>expose ourselves to new things, new ideas. We're not open

78
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:55.759
<v Speaker 1>open the different, open to change. And that's what helped me.

79
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:58.759
<v Speaker 1>I became open to all the ars. And so I'm like, Okay, Damn,

80
00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:01.000
<v Speaker 1>that's different. Let me try that. Damn listen. Oh let

81
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:02.919
<v Speaker 1>me jump out of a plane. Damn, let me do

82
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:05.479
<v Speaker 1>this like some real store, and you know, and like,

83
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:07.800
<v Speaker 1>while I'm here, I'm living this shit out because I'm

84
00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:10.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna tell you some real time, when I die, it's

85
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:13.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a party in that graveyard, because my tombstone

86
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:16.600
<v Speaker 1>is gonna be playing music and bouncing all around the graveyard.

87
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:18.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna be laying there because that dash that's

88
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:20.920
<v Speaker 1>between the year I was born in the year I die,

89
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:23.360
<v Speaker 1>that is gonna be break dancing off that tombstone because

90
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:26.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm leaving all that here. I'm leaving it here. So

91
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:27.879
<v Speaker 1>it's like, why the should I CoA play?

92
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:30.639
<v Speaker 2>I heard you say once that you only die once,

93
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:31.600
<v Speaker 2>but you live every day.

94
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:33.839
<v Speaker 1>I live every day. You see what I'm saying. You

95
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:37.040
<v Speaker 1>think about that that day that you die once. See

96
00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:39.199
<v Speaker 1>a lot of times people put living as just one

97
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:41.959
<v Speaker 1>big thing. It's not no one big thing. It's things.

98
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:45.319
<v Speaker 1>It's days. Every day you're doing something different. Think about this.

99
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:48.319
<v Speaker 1>Fifty something months ago, I was sitting in the cell

100
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:50.839
<v Speaker 1>waiting to go to child standing for count. Now I'm

101
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:54.079
<v Speaker 1>in the Hollywood Hills with you. Think about that. I

102
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:55.839
<v Speaker 1>walk right out of here and I look at the whole,

103
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.639
<v Speaker 1>the whole LA. I can see every tired part of LA.

104
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:02.399
<v Speaker 1>Every movie I've ever seen, everything I've ever seen, is

105
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:05.720
<v Speaker 1>right down in there. Think about this, man, I'm out

106
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:07.839
<v Speaker 1>here doing what I want to do. You know, uh,

107
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:10.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, we go from prison to close the multi

108
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:13.040
<v Speaker 1>million dollar deals and doing speaking all over the Come on, man,

109
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:15.959
<v Speaker 1>you know why because I wasn't. I wasn't gonna be

110
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:18.160
<v Speaker 1>a victim of self. See, a lot of people be

111
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:22.680
<v Speaker 1>victim myself. This victimization is self victimization. Ooh by me,

112
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh this is happening. Why this is new to me? Oh,

113
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:28.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm black. Oh, I'm missed. I live in the ghetto.

114
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:33.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm I'm from deep in the ghetto. I come

115
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:36.399
<v Speaker 1>from the ghetto, Tom, But I'm out here making it happen.

116
00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:37.680
<v Speaker 1>And I got to show these young kids in the

117
00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:40.680
<v Speaker 1>inner cities of America or kids period, not just the kids,

118
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:42.959
<v Speaker 1>but I focus meaning on them because they still sponge,

119
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:45.759
<v Speaker 1>They're still impressionable, They're still trying to figure out life,

120
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:47.720
<v Speaker 1>and like a lot of times adults, they be locked

121
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:49.160
<v Speaker 1>in already on what they want to do. They just

122
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:51.439
<v Speaker 1>know how to disguise the bulls that they claim that

123
00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:53.079
<v Speaker 1>they want to let go of. They just know how

124
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:56.000
<v Speaker 1>to put a different uniform on it. Kids, they're growing up,

125
00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:59.079
<v Speaker 1>they're impressionable, and they imagination is everything, and that's that's

126
00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:01.839
<v Speaker 1>something that's every important in my journey. My imagination.

127
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:06.240
<v Speaker 2>Now prison breaks most of the people that it touches, yes,

128
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:08.759
<v Speaker 2>but the people that survive again, the same thing, never

129
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:11.040
<v Speaker 2>going back, they build up this energy and that escape

130
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:14.560
<v Speaker 2>velocity is crazy. Part of the reason when I first

131
00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:18.600
<v Speaker 2>started researching you, I was like, Okay, he got a

132
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:21.800
<v Speaker 2>twenty year sentence, but there's no way he did twenty years.

133
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:24.399
<v Speaker 2>And the reason I couldn't reconcile it in my mind

134
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:30.319
<v Speaker 2>that you'd actually served twenty years is you were so positive, energetic, enthusiastic,

135
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:32.720
<v Speaker 2>focused on all the things you were going to make.

136
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:35.720
<v Speaker 2>There was no sense of loss or mourning. It was

137
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:38.959
<v Speaker 2>just like, twenty years is a long time, man.

138
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:42.319
<v Speaker 1>No. But see, you got to understand this. I wasn't

139
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:45.000
<v Speaker 1>in jail. I was in Yale. I wasn't in prison.

140
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:47.120
<v Speaker 1>I was in Priston. I wasn't in the state Pen.

141
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:49.399
<v Speaker 1>I was in Penn State. How do you think like that?

142
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:52.079
<v Speaker 1>Because you know why I took the time, and I say, okay,

143
00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:54.319
<v Speaker 1>this is time for me to, you know, educate myself.

144
00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:56.439
<v Speaker 1>And one of my homies said, man, why we are

145
00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:59.240
<v Speaker 1>you to have these money in jail? I said, yo, Man,

146
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:03.000
<v Speaker 1>I know why I'm here. I'm not here. I'm not innocent.

147
00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:05.560
<v Speaker 1>It's sorry to anybody else. I know why I'm here.

148
00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I know what God done. I know why I'm here.

149
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:09.920
<v Speaker 1>But I'm not gonna be mad. I gotta listen. I'm

150
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:11.720
<v Speaker 1>trying to I can see the end of the show.

151
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:13.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at the end. I'm chasing the end of

152
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:15.279
<v Speaker 1>the tunnel, and when I get there, I'm gonna be

153
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:19.079
<v Speaker 1>on point. So it was like, but when we talk

154
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:23.759
<v Speaker 1>about imagination, let me tell you something. As a kid,

155
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:27.519
<v Speaker 1>your imagination be endless. Oh I want to fly, I

156
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:31.920
<v Speaker 1>want to do this. I'm telling an unbelievable imagination. Imagination

157
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:35.560
<v Speaker 1>is destroyed by family members, others. People kill ideas. You

158
00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:37.800
<v Speaker 1>got idea killers out here. A lot of times these

159
00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:39.439
<v Speaker 1>kids they can't grow unto where they want to grow

160
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:41.759
<v Speaker 1>in because they live in environments where their ideas is

161
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:44.399
<v Speaker 1>beat up and whereastoor they got to suffocate their ideas

162
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:46.519
<v Speaker 1>and somehow they kill they ideas and they bury the

163
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:48.439
<v Speaker 1>ideas because they don't want to get laughed at it.

164
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:51.040
<v Speaker 1>They're ashamed of it. So by me going to prison

165
00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:55.800
<v Speaker 1>from seventeen to thirty seven, will you know experience life lived?

166
00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:59.439
<v Speaker 1>Experience life will destroy your imagination? By me going to

167
00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:02.959
<v Speaker 1>prison with it, did is it froze the imagination that

168
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.879
<v Speaker 1>I had. So when I'm in prison the whole time,

169
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:07.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm not living the life that most people be living

170
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:09.519
<v Speaker 1>and beating them down and wearing them down and becoming

171
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:12.040
<v Speaker 1>jaded and getting the ass kicked by life. So when

172
00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:14.480
<v Speaker 1>I come out thirty seven, I'm still in there reading

173
00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:17.399
<v Speaker 1>all type of sh And then when there was two

174
00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:21.360
<v Speaker 1>thousand and you know, twenty and thirteen, I got my

175
00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:23.319
<v Speaker 1>hands on the eyepod touch in a wireless hot spot

176
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:26.240
<v Speaker 1>in jail. And when I got that hid, I came alive.

177
00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:29.040
<v Speaker 1>That's when I came alive. When I seen technology and

178
00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:32.000
<v Speaker 1>see the potential. I seen the potential and I realized, Okay,

179
00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:35.279
<v Speaker 1>these people don't understand what's going on. I realized the

180
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:38.720
<v Speaker 1>stars they couldn't see what you say humans, I'm looking

181
00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:40.360
<v Speaker 1>at it, and I'm looking at the people from my environment.

182
00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:46.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, yo, okay, when did your dreams die? What

183
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:48.039

185
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:52.799
<v Speaker 1>into a different place, You start eating a bunch of shit. Oh,

00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:54.559
<v Speaker 1>lay in there, I don't want to all this dumb

187
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:58.440

188
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Cause cause you know, out here a lot of times

190
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:08.960
<v Speaker 1>killers and the dream killers. Be yourself. It don't be

191
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:12.679

194
00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:19.200
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. So you got to figure out.

198
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:27.879
<v Speaker 1>because you got to get up and figure it out

199

00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:46.559
<v Speaker 1>a piece of paper, sitting down in a notebook, writing

203
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:49.799
<v Speaker 1>something down, and saying I'm gonna start this. I love
