All right now, I hope y'all ready for this. All right, my next guest, like me, started off in music, and then he transitioned into acting. You might know him as, I don't know, Darnell Hayes from All American. So y'all already know, being in Mary J. Blige's lifetime movies, or my all time fave, Terry and BMF. Ladies and gentlemen, Da Vinci! Bring them out, bring them out, bring them out, bring them out. It's hard to yell when the bad rail's in your mouth.

Bring them out, bring them out, bring them out. It's hard to yell when the bad rail's in your mouth. Bring them out, bring them out, bring them out, bring them out. Bring them out, bring them out, bring them out. It's hard to yell when the bad rail's in your mouth.

Bring them out, bring them out, bring them out, bring them out. It's hard to yell when the bad rail's in your mouth. Bring them out, bring them out, bring them out, bring them out. It's hard to yell when the bad rail's in your mouth. Bring them out, bring them out, bring them out, how you feeling? I'm feeling great. I'm feeling great. I'm feeling great. How y'all feeling? This is a great crowd. It's a beautiful crowd. Listen, they have the best energy. Thank you so much.

Thanks for having me. It's an honor to have you amongst the kids' family. And we're going to jump right into it, all right? So you are from Brooklyn, New York. Yes, ma'am. And my castmate, Deval, you are from Brooklyn New York yes ma'am and my castmate Deval is also from Brooklyn I've heard some wild stories what was it like growing up in Brooklyn for you I mean growing up do we got any Brooklyn in the house Brooklyn that's what's up what up what up not Nah, the dopest part about growing up in Brooklyn

in a fast city like that, and just up north in areas with trains and buses and all that stuff, you grow up fast, or I wouldn't even say fast, I think you grow up at the rate that you were supposed to grow up at. I think a lot of people are just a little like, they get coddled a little longer, but the way we grew up is it's like we became men, like

kind of quicker and women earlier. That's amazing. So like me, you started with music and then you transitioned to acting. For me, music, I just, I didn't fall out of love with it, but I felt I didn't like the politics of the music industry. What was it with you that made you decide, hey, I don't want to do this? It was definitely the politics. Like, it's, like growing up, I loved music, right? I was like, to Chris Brown, to Trey Songz, to Usherz,

like everyone, right? I was like, yo, this is like what I want to be and all the great rappers, Hoves, 50, I love 50. I know his verse is better than him. I know 50 songs way better than him. He don't even know it. But now, like, I was 50. I know his verse is better than him. I know 50 songs way better than him, he don't even know it. But nah, like I was really inspired by it, but then when you get there and it's not a figment of your imagination no more, you're like nah, like they really want like a certain thing there and I was just like alright, I don't know.

And I didn't know enough about gospel singers, gospel rappers, you'd be like, oh, maybe I'm gonna take that route. So I was just like, you know what, I'm cool off this. It's like they, sometimes they just really want some real killers, people that's just killing left and right. Like that ain't me. And it's like, bro, I'm like, bro, like I've done some bad stuff.

Like I got arrested when I was 13 and stuff, but I never once thought about killing someone. So I'm like, bro. Who'd you get arrested for, DeVishie? It was dealing with stolen property. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So yeah, it was stupid.

But anyway, yeah, but when I realized certain things, I'm like, bro, I can't be preaching this message, bro. Like, it's like I made it out of my situation because I stopped doing certain things. So I'm like, for me to then do this, I'm like, bro, that's, I'm lying, you know what I'm saying? And I feel like God is, I'm gonna have to answer to God and I can't sleep well at night.

That's so good. I got to watch you twice on Broadway for Thoughts of a Colored Man. Guys, it was such a profound play. Just, we really talked about the thoughts that our black men, what they go through on a day to day basis. We laughed, we cried.

It was a really good play and you were amazing in it. But you also the star of EMF. I wanna know, yeah. I wanna know what is your favorite Broadway or TV and film? Broadway was hard. Broadway was really hard, I ain't gonna lie. It was great because it teaches you something that film and TV can't teach you. Film and TV, there's a bunch of cut in, and then it's like director cut, give you note, throw something new out. You

get so many chances to redo it. But in Broadway, once you live and you're in front of a crowd like this, it's like, bro, I gotta go. And when you make a mistake, it's like, you better hope your partner just wing it with you. There was moments I was just winging it and everyone was like, oh, that was so good. I'm like, you don't even know. I fucked this up. I messed this all up. But it was great. Acting, TV, and film is great because I mean, it pays the bills. Amen. But Broadway, it's like when you're doing Broadway, it's more of a craft thing. I mean, I don't know what the producers make on it, but as an actor, it's work. It's work. Actually,

it's work. It's a love project. You have to love it. Yeah, facts, facts, 100%. But it was great. I learned so much. And shout out to Keenan Scott and the writers, the directors, everyone. I learned, I think that was the biggest clash for me in my career. That's amazing.

I always hear that actors who really take their craft serious go do Broadway. They say there's nothing like it, there's no training course like it, unless you work on a Tyler Perry set. Right. Cause we get one take. Tyler shoots like we're on Broadway. I'm like, hey, can I get one more?

Then you decided that you wanted to pick up comedy. Now, I tell people all the time that I'm funny. Exactly. I be like, I'm funny. But I don't know if I have the chops to do stand up. What made you say, I'm going to give this a shot? You know, that's a great question. I feel like as an artist, you always wanna push yourself.

And for me, stand up is like, it's like going skydiving. It's like, what is gonna happen if I go on stage and I just talk shit? Wait, wait, can I, I'm sorry. Be yourself, this is a safe space. Oh yeah. Be yourself. Be careful on the F words, but yeah, you can stay. Okay, okay. I'm gonna fix my language. I'm sorry. Forgive me, mom, if you want to. But, uh, but not, um, it's like, I was like, yo, what if it's like the conversation that me and my boys be having, just like, just have it here. And then the thing

is, it's like, I've been doing mental health tours as well. So I was like, if I could infuse a little bit of that and make it educational, just a little funny, what could happen? And I was like, even if I got booed, it's like you're gonna leave with a message. It's not just stupid little jokes and me making fun of people.

It's like, you really listening, you're like, oh no, that kinda makes sense. Yeah, I love that. Now are you planning on doing a tour for your comedy as well? Yeah, I'd last year I'd hit ten cities up because we were just like we didn't make an official tour We was just gone. We was like, what can we do? And like we're selling out here. So not there. We're like, okay But it's because of like all-american or DMF, you know what I'm saying? It's not cuz like people respect me as a real comedian Because they saw you on TV and they wanted to see what you did. Yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly. But I think over time that I'm going to

get that respect as a comedian if I keep pursuing it. But I definitely think this summer I might, I might, I might do a tour. Okay, we're gonna check, y'all gonna check them out? Yeah, we definitely should check them out. So something I talk about a lot of times with my peers is that people do not see the journey. They don't see what we go through. We live in, we work in a very rejection driven since that like a career. Like we get told no so much y'all.

You have to have some real self esteem to be an actor. Facts. I can't count how many nos I got before I got a yes. And it takes a hit. If you're not really strong with your self-esteem, it can take a hit. How has that journey been for you? And did you have any moments where you were like,

oh, this is too much? Yeah, it's been bad. It's crazy, because I got over probably like 1,000 no's. And I only got like eight yeses. Did you hear that? Yeah. And the three of the eight yeses is All American, BMF, and like another movie, and Grown-ish

that like started making me like famous. Right. You know what I'm saying? But it's, why they laughing? You're funny. Yes. It's it's You're funny I'm pouring my heart on a laughing is it like I wasn't a joke Hey, you got a mean audience

Hey y'all better act like y'all got some home training. Yeah, don't go to my show No, but nah, it was, it's tough. I mean, this is one of the few businesses in the world that you're constantly being scrutinized for how you look, your size. Calm down. Like you're constantly being scrutinized. So it plays with your head, man.

And a lot of times, like I remember it was this producer, he was talking to me, he was like, you gotta remember, this is the entertainment business, not the entertainment arts. You know what I'm saying? So when he told me that, I was like, oh, I stopped taking things personal, because it's like, for instance,

I've won out for Haitian characters before. I'm Haitian. Both parents, Haitian. I speak the language fluently. English ain't even my first language. I speak French and Creole. English ain't even my first language. I speak French and Creole. Give us a little bit.

Okay, give me some French. Comment tu appétuis? Wow. Is that trilingual? But it's crazy though because I would go out for Haitian characters and they call on my team like like he doesn't look Haitian. You know what I'm saying? They want to make everyone look a certain way that you know so they're telling a narrative for us and it's like it's offensive you know what I'm saying to me. So it's like there's a lot of moments to where you know I got a love-hate

relationship with this business but that's why I try to invest and set myself up financially completely outside the business. Just so if everything goes south, it's like my house ain't going nowhere. My other house ain't going nowhere. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, yeah. So, yeah.

That's so good. Speaking of finances and financial literacy, I know when I first started making real money, because you go from waiting on a paycheck from the IRS, you can't wait for the refund to come back, to having to pay. And you just did a really funny video on Instagram. There's a way I can pay you back, but my plan is to show you that I understand. Talk about paying taxes, I felt that. I said, oh lord. I want to talk about that because so many times in our culture we're not educated on how to manage our finances on a normal level.

And then we make it and we're definitely not ready. I can't tell y'all that first tax bill. I said, yeah, we'll get to that. I was in no hurry to pay it. And they was like, no, you gotta pay. I said, pay what? Facts. What? Yeah, no, no.

It's sick. It's like, you think student loans are bad. It's like, if you get a bill that you gotta pay Uncle Sam a million dollars, like, y'all don't got enough? Like, what am I, like, how am I contributing to this? It's like, it's not. It's sick. Like, I remember the first time, I

remember I was talking to my CPA and I was just like, I was just shocked. I was like, no, this doesn't make sense. I really did not understand that they were asking my little ass for this much money. I'm like, bro, y'all good. I'm like, y'all good. Right, right. I was mad as hell. I was like, can I just do a payment plan?

Honestly, but it's just like, no. You saw what happened to Chris Tucker. I was like, yeah, I do a payment plan? Like, honestly, but it just like, no. It's like, you saw what happened to Chris Tucker. I was like, yeah, I'll pay this shit. Right, exactly. I was mad as hell, though. Oh my gosh, we've all been there. I totally understand.

As your star has risen, at what point did you realize that you had to shift the way you moved? Oh, that's a good one. Oh, that's a good one. I think three years ago, I dealt with like, it's everything in life has a side effect, right? It's like you fly in an airplane, like the coolest thing about our inventions, human beings, we're so smart, we're not inspiration from God, but there's always a side effect, right? So like if you fly in an airplane the radiation, you know If you take a car somewhere you run the risk of XYZ and what is doing to the planet?

But it's like it'll cut time down, you know, instead of walking to California is gonna take you three months You'll do it in a couple hours, but it's like it's a side effect being on screen The cancer of that is fame. Like fame is not what it's all cracked out to be. Like when Shorty's be online, like my man, my man, my man. Y'all dead ass. Like when y'all see us out and like we with our ladies, our significant other and whatever,

and we like, y'all really on that type of time. And I'm just like, what give you the- He's saying y'all the loo, loo, loo. And I was just like, I'm like, what have I done to make y'all feel that this is okay? But because when you're an artist, you're in such a unique experience, a position, because you allow people to feel this emotional connection. So their brain is like undergoing neuroplasticity while looking at your face. Oh, Cavillari?

Right? So it's like it's reshaping it. So like if you're learning something watching an artist, it's like your brain is literally reshaping, designing itself, right? Yes. It's malleable. It's like Play-Doh. So it's like, so you guys associate those nostalgic moments with us and we'll just be I'll be in a grocery store

Just chillin someone's like they just run up to you. They're like, what are you doing here? I'm like, I gotta eat too And I'm just like what are you doing here this close like it's like this is crazy You know what I'm saying? I'm like, this is not normal, but they feel so like involved in and like I've been followed before and it's like And it's like I don't get me wrong, I love the fans. I've never in my life thought I would ever be in a position to where somebody is saying my resume and then everyone start clapping.

It's a great position to be in, don't get me wrong, but there is a side that comes with it that sometimes it's like, bruh, it's a lot of pressure. Just even simple things like, if I wear this outfit out and I take a picture, can't wear it again. We gonna normalize that though. We be spending too much money on our clothes.

I can't wear it again, like it's like, yeah. Or if I'm caught seeing, like if me and you was having lunch and we chilling, we having a good conversation, and I just touch your hand like, girl, like that was so good, like ooh. Ooh, they go together. Picture, go together.

Now I gotta answer questions. I'm like, god damn, you being a gentleman, you holding someone's hands and helping them get it, you know what I'm like, ooh, they go together. Picture, go together. Now I gotta answer questions. I'm like, goddamn, you being a gentleman, you holding someone's hand and helping them get, you know what I'm saying? It's like everything you do or say is gonna be used against you. And it's- So you see me Da Vinci, that's my little bro.

Okay, we just, he just picking picks his brain. So don't even jump to no conclusions. Right, right. But it's beautiful. I'm grateful for it. And who much is given, much is required, you know? So I'm not complaining. I'm just letting y'all know what we go through sometimes. And sometimes we're just like, oh wow, you know, it's like sometimes I'll be in a serious conversation. I'm like talking to my mom about something.

No mom, like what do you mean we can't da da da da da? And someone's like, I'm like, yo, hold on, hold on, please hold on, hold on. And they're just like, no, please can I just get it? And I'm like, yeah, just wait. But it's's like, I'm like, yo, hold on, hold on, please hold on, hold on, and they're just like, no, please can I just get it, and I'm like, yeah, just wait, but it's my birthday, I'm like, of course, it's everyone's birthday, every day, like every day is someone's birthday, and they make you feel bad, and you're just like, no, no, no, and I'm like, oh man. It's hard, it's so hard, I struggle with that too, and I've had stalkers, you know, and your life changes in the blink of an eye, And it's scary because when you're just friendly

and you love people and you love your fans, like I'd ride for y'all, I love you guys so much, but there are some people that take it too far and those boundaries are not respected. And as human beings, I wish people understood just that we are human and we have family and we have issues and things that we deal with on a day-to-day basis and some days we wake up and we don't feel our best selves but we have to turn it on you know we don't have the luxury

of being like yo get my face I am not in the mood today we don't have that luxury you see something like hey like you got to turn it on no matter how you feel because that may be the only moment that they get with you and that's their Lasting impression of you like the person they just love and they're like dang How about she was like this but not realizing maybe she's really going through somewhere. He's going through something Well, I love y'all too In that ship did you also see a shift in your friends or like as you're like climbing and realizing we're not in the same place?

Because you have to start thinking different. Absolutely. You got to protect your life because it's like when a lot of things start revolving around you, you know, you're retiring, your parents, by the grace of God, you're taking care of so many people, like so many people revolve around you. It's like if your life were to stop, it's like there's so many other lives that would be affected so you can't move normal anymore. And sometimes it's like when people have not involved in their thinking and their around you and you're trying to tell them, it's like, bro, I can't just be hanging out in the quarters like shooting

the shits and trying to talk to shorties like, but I can't do that. Like going to clubs and like talking to like, but as dead, first of all, if she belonged to that man, now he shoot me. Like I've been in like two shootouts already and I had a by mistake. Are you serious? By mistake and I had none. And now I'm not doing nothing to get in trouble no more.

But it's like sometimes it was, so it was like there's certain people I'm like, bro, like I'm not gonna, I'm not associating myself with you. And it's, and it's tough cause then people say, yo, you changed or you Hollywood is just. And it's tough, because then people say, yo, you changed, or you Hollywood. It's just like, it's like, bro, I can't even begin to explain to them because they don't have knowledge.

And the prophet Hosea in the Bible, chapter four, chapter four, verse six, he said to the people of Jerusalem, he was like, my people perish for their lack of knowledge. So it's like, it's tough because it's just like when you're trying to explain something to someone who really don't have the knowledge, they're ignorant by definition. Like that's why in the Bible a lot when Jesus is talking to the Father, he's like, Father forgive them for they don't know they're ignorant.

Right? And it's like, so sometimes when you're trying to explain something, you're like, bro, you can't even understand. And it's the saddest thing because it's like, so sometimes when you're trying to explain to someone, you're like, bro, dog, you can't even understand. And it's the saddest thing because it's like, you look crazy. And I'm like, bro, like, and this is really for your own good too, but it's like, I think one of the hardest things you can go through is like, you're talking to someone that you love and you almost love them more than they love themselves. And you're trying to really help them, but they really can't understand.

It's like me telling my dog, like, yo, you got to pay the mortgage for the next 12 12 months I don't care. Right. And the dog is niggas like woof. And that's how it is talking to people sometimes and I just got to understand that and I just got to love them from a distance but it pains you but to them it's like oh you just brand new. It sucks man. It sucks. It does. I know I've been there. You spoke recently on I think it was for the fellas on BET, about the black family dynamic and nucleus. I am not gonna lie, I was blown away by your answers and how you articulated yourself. You do real? Yeah. We do real lives right here. Well was like, nah, he's a cute, like, nah. Oh yeah. Nah,

that's crazy. I was blown away by the way you articulated yourself and I wanted to know like where did your family values come from and did you have that foundation growing up? Unfortunately I didn't have that foundation growing up. I didn't understand the family value. I didn't understand why it was important. I was just in a curse, you know what I'm saying? And it's not until like I was getting in trouble, then I like moved to my father in Florida, and I started having different influences around me, and I started hanging out with families that,

you know, were families. And I'm like, bro, this is cool. Like, I remember one of the, this is the craziest, like, this is such a sad moment. When I was in Florida, I'm going to high school, I'm at, like, one of my friend's house, and they was like, oh, we're gonna watch a movie. And I'm like, yo, they're watching a movie as a family?

And I'm like, dude, and I'm like, and I'm like, bro, this is crazy. And then, like, they were like, and they'm like, bro, this is crazy. And then like, they were like, and they would call me Abe. My first name is Abraham. My middle name is DaVinci. First name is Abraham. And so Abe is the nickname of Abraham, obviously. So they would call me, there was one of the moms was like, yo, Abe, can you go grab something in a pantry? And I was like, what the fuck is a pantry? Like that, like, that's how like, and I'm like, and then I was like, and I really, and I was just like, and I'm like, what the fuck is a pantry? Like that's how like, and I'm like, and then I was like, and I really, and I was just like, and I'm like, huh?

And she was like, pantry. I was like, damn. And I'm like, I really don't know. She was like, just grab the chips. I'm like, damn, like what'd you, but like, no, but all jokes aside, like, no, no, no, all jokes aside, but I was just like seeing everything. I'm like, bro, they got like family thing

and like kitchens really working out. I have none of that. So I had to really like learn that outside of my family. And don't get me wrong, my parents did the best they knew how. Because if they knew more, they would have done better because their lives would have been easier. And a lot of times it's like our parents,

they were so focused on just meeting the basic needs about survival. They never focused on emotional needs, the psychological needs. They never focused on any of that. They just, to them, and they're not from this country, they're from a third world country. I was like, bro, you got a bed, you got air, open the window, and you got water. You know what I'm saying? And they're like, bro, you're good.

You don't need nothing. So whenever I'm like, like dad, like I'm sad or whatever, it's like, albayan. And albayan is like, go take a shower. He's like, go take a shower. Really? Wow. So it was like, so I never really like, but I'll, and that's the beauty about books though, because there's really successful people in this world that they leave a blueprint behind

in a book, man. And I remember when I read, there was like, this guy was like, if you want to hide something from a black man, put it in a book. And I was like, dang. And I really just read my way into this thinking. But like based off my environment, I'm needless to say, it's the grace of God. It's the grace of God. You touched on something just expressing, dad, I'm sad. And you are a huge mental health advocate. And I am as well. But I think it was like, probably within the last five years,

around 2020, around COVID, that a lot of our community realized it's okay to not be okay. You know, and it's okay to say, hey, I feel sad. And we've made it a safe space for our black men to feel okay with expressing their feelings. But for so long, we as a whole were told, shut up, suppress it, push through,

and keep going because nobody cares. And I want to talk to you because this is something that you go to speak to high school students all around the country about mental health. What was it that drew you to that and made you realize that you needed to work on yourself? I think I've been studying a lot of sociology and a lot of psychology. I got a degree in criminal justice, so you got to study criminal behavior, the mind,

certain things. I furthered those studies and started studying sociology and anthropology. I realized why some people want to take that out of school. I realize why, because the social sciences are so important, and when you realize why we're disenfranchised, it's no joke. I mean, you have doctors, physicians, and people just in high positions that was preaching this social Darwinism that black people are biologically inferior to white people. Black people pain

tolerance is higher. Black people don't feel like black people aren't full human. So it's that system that built this country and this country's only like 250 years old. Like it's this country is young as hell but we've been living in that way of thinking for so long that we are a bi-prime, and that's fresh. Like two humans ago, we was really in shackles. Like people don't think about that. And it's like, when you realize that, you're like, yo, nah, I gotta like, I gotta go back to my people

and talk to them, cause the way I made it out, I didn't make it out by slinging dope and being a gangster, I had to start. I thought my way out of this, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. And I appreciate that, thank you. And you start realizing that it's like sometimes the media for some strange reason,

they love to show us in these lights that's actually leading to our detriment. Like it's like, if you look at the content that we black and brown people consume at the rate that we consume it It's cancerous, bro. And it's just like and we're not even Deconstructing and fixing the problems of why we're here and we're just consuming this So we're just building a generation to just ignorant people on top of ignorant. That's why there's some black people around the world I would I even want to say black because that's not even something we would's why there's some black people around the world. I didn't even want to say black,

because that's not even something we would call ourselves. Some people of African descent around the world, they don't even want to associate themselves with African Americans. And with this, because they just understand how this society is being curated to just keep them like this. That's why growing up, my parents always used to say,

you're not black, I'm Mexican. That's not you. We the same. Right. You know what I'm saying? We was just a little south from them, but it's like we were doing the same thing they were doing. So that's why I feel this moral obligation is like,

as I'm rising, I feel the need to break certain stigmas down to men, to my fellow men and my brothers and sisters, because we weren't given this access, this education to this knowledge. And when we start realizing the things that we go through, it's not crazy. You know what I'm saying? Like this is normal and the hardships

and the trauma that we feel. Like we feel pain that there's people around the world that have never felt, but we're the most influential around the world. Like it's like, we're so dope. And they only show this side. So I'm like, yo, I need to let these people know, like bro, we're artists.

I'm talking painters. We're all this stuff, but all our work has just been stolen and stripped. And they just make us think in this one way. And I'm like, bro, you're so brilliant. I'll be going to school. I'll be talking to some smart ass kids. And then they just, but they're like,

no, I wanna play basketball. I wanna play football. I wanna be an actor, I wanna be a rapper. But it's just like, you have 100% of a population going after something that only less than.0001 could achieve. That's a set up. You know what I'm saying?

But if you preaching the other stuff, having a family, becoming a doctor, normalize, like in my neighborhood, bro, I'm the only one that's really impressive. Everyone else is just regular. You know what I'm saying? And they're not black. You know what I'm saying? But if there's another black person, this man's probably won two Super Bowl rings and he's doing this or, you know what I'm saying? But it's like, we just got to normalize being in these positions. But I think when you start, and you could, we could use mental health to really understand that, dissect our brain,

learn how it work, and why we're being steered this direction, just only be consumers. And then right there, we could just start thinking different. And I feel like we could become great because black people, man, we special. Yeah, so special. Come on.

That's why it takes a nation to do this to us. Yes. We're really special. When we put our head together, we do things that people just, I could go on and on. I'm going to shut up. But we're real special. We're really special. When we put our head together, we do things that people just, I could go on and on. I'm gonna shut up, but we're real special. We are enjoying this, but we are running out of time. Aw, dang it.

But before we go, I know this is the question you all have been waiting for me to ask since he's been on stage. Let's talk about love. You have been very intentionally private about your personal life and I respect it. I'm the same way in certain aspects because we share so much of our lives with the public. You have to keep certain things sacred. So I want to know a man in your position, what are traits and characteristics that you look for in a woman? And don't y'all start being like, that's me.

I feel like they gotta have God first. You gotta have God. And you gotta believe in God the way I believe in God. Like it's rooted from the Bible. Because a lot of y'all, the universe and dah, dah, dah, dah, it's rooted from the Bible because a lot of y'all the universe and it's like we doing it yeah sending letters with no names and no address on it and I don't know who we're going to and the devil is strong yeah I'd be underestimating Satan that month that's that dude is smart he

know the Bible and everything way better than us so some of y'all like all the universe and it's a nice I you want this? Right. Say it again. You said two. And it's like, and that's how it works. So it's like, I think if we're both rooted from God, like being Jehovah, Yahweh, and Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, then that's number one. Because as long as we don't have philosophical differences,

we can build a union. But it's like a house divided, can't stand. So like what am I doing like I'm not gonna look at you. Have you believed in something else? Stay your ass over there. But too she got to be educated. She got to be educated you know what I'm saying. I think and the dopest thing about women you guys are so beautiful and powerful and really smart. God gave us brute force, right? We could pick y'all little ass up, like come here and then do whatever.

But God gave y'all this to where y'all could pick us up with y'all words. Yeah. Which is like, you know, which is different. Cause when a man, when we fall, sometimes we try not to let no one else know and we try to hold that in. But having a woman be able to articulate the right words

to let me start expressing myself, open myself, and she's carrying me and lifting me in that way, and she's really that support. That's why, by the way, I do believe if a woman is with a rich man and they divorce, she deserves half. Because what a woman does, honestly, if you're a real woman though,

some of y'all gonna say, yeah, I know. But if you're a real woman and you're doing real woman though, some of y'all gonna be like, yeah, I know. But if you're a real woman and you're doing like real woman stuff, absolutely. Because the suffering you guys help us alleviate, there's no number that could be put on that. You know what I'm saying? And that's why the unity between a man and woman is so destroyed in this country and family

because there's a reason for that. It's like, you have a family situation, you become very powerful. Yes. Very powerful. And then I would say, so spiritual, in the same way, believing God, educated, and just, she cares about health.

Like physically, mentally, and spiritually. Like she's a healthy person. You know what I'm saying? Like we're normalizing a lot of sick things that is like, bro, this is not healthy. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like we're normalizing a lot of sick things that is like, bro, this is not healthy. You know what I'm saying? So I just want us to consume things to where we could reap the fruits of the seeds that we plant. You know what I'm saying? And that's what I want. I don't really care about none. I don't care about your following. I don't care what you do. I don't care how much money you make. God will figure that out for us. I know that's right. Wow. Put
