Well, I fight till I can't fight anymore.
You know what I mean?
If a situation like that happened and you get hurt,
but I'm a strong believer.
If you fight, you fight to the end, you know what I mean?
You don't be afraid.
Some guy get hit hard and they lay down
because they don't want to take a beating.
Real fight to take their beating like a man
because anything can happen.
At what point did you know that you could be the heavyweight champion?
14.
14 years old, I knew you were gonna...
Yeah, you have to be the champion before you become the champion, so that means lifestyle.
After being before you become her.
You gotta be him before you become it.
You don't have discipline, I don't care how skill for you, are you?
You're nothing.
But everybody don't get up every morning and run.
Everybody don't go to the gym every morning, and everybody don't have enough discipline
to wait in the locker room for two hours or three hours,
then go in the ring and do it, they've been taught all those years in the gym.
years in the gym and so that's what separates the champion on a mediocre fighter.
Inside I'm totally in control of the situation ring you know it's just a
certain amount of moderation as far as discipline is concerned.
My whole success is from belief something I can feel but not actually see.
What about talent? Talent I don't believe in talent. Well some people they have talent
that's good it helps when you have talent as long as you have a lot of the
determination and willpower, that's all you need.
And you have to have the will to win.
My definition is greatness.
Someone or something that could do the most difficult thing
in the world with the most simple of ease.
That's greatness.
In my time of life, I thought I've seen it all.
I thought I've been everywhere.
I think everybody drink, everybody, smoked with it.
I did it all.
And I realized, I don't know nothing.
I don't know about.
You're in control in the ring.
You're something that you're prepared for.
Your training months and months for.
And then you're going there and then.
And it's like a diagram, everything's written out,
and everything's planning to do.
Outside is, it's just the unexpected so constantly.
You know what I mean?
Lurking around and you just, you don't know what's gonna happen
day by day, that's like, come,
you count the Lord for your blessings
because you're really not promised tomorrow
anything can happen.
You have to be the champ before you be the champion.
You understand?
Does that make sense?
Yeah.
This is not really, because it sounds like,
you have to be him before you can be him.
You can't just pop, it's by train.
and doing push-ups and knocking people out,
this is I'm in the chair.
No, you have to be the actual champ.
Your conduct, your lifestyle,
have to be the champ.
Before you have to be, wear the belt.
Why do you think you wanted to respect
was the thing you wanted the most from people?
Because they bullied me all the time,
everybody picked on me.
Why do you think they picked on you?
I don't know, because I had nobody to protect me.
Why do I think I'm here?
To understand the world before I die,
to be lucky to understand it,
and be conscious of it before I die.
Life prepares you for everyone.
Everything.
When life is enduring with you, when you're enduring with life
and you're making the age limits, going to your 50s, your 60s,
your age, and you're making it up there, you're prepared.
All your friends are no longer around, most of your family,
not around, what the fuck am I doing here?
Then we go.
So, so boxing, you're coming up.
You're coming up at 14, you know you're gonna be your champion.
During that time, whatever's Cuss telling you, you're doing it,
you're not questioning, you're fully coachable to him,
you're committed to him, you believe he can help you become a champion.
Yeah, what is your training?
But during that process, I'm losing too.
I'm getting beat.
I'm getting knocked out.
I'm never getting discouraged, though.
I'm doing everything.
First day in the morning, three in the morning,
you do your four miles come back in.
Three in a morning.
Yeah.
Do your four miles come back in, do your body exercise and all that stuff,
getting a hot tub, go to bed.
I might watch some fight films.
I watch a lot of fight films.
That's why I'm very acute with most of the fight.
Oh, yeah.
So after that,
I go after the eat breakfast, go to the school, come back from school, eat my food,
dinner, go back to the gym at 6 o'clock, train, come back at 8 o'clock, watch fights, start all over again.
I just believe in me, and I'm going to overcome all my adversities.
I'm not going to, you know, it's like this.
The truth set you free, but it's going to make you miserable first.
And so I realize life is all about in here.
It's all about your belief system.
I love that.
Listen, one minute you could say, I'm a nobody.
Listen to me, listen, I'm living in an abandoned building with my family,
and next day I'm Mike Tyson.
What does it take to be a true champion,
to be the best in the world of something?
You lived it for a long time.
What does a mindset have to be like
if someone wants to be the best in what they do?
It's just dedicated and sacrificing your life
to be in a particular way you want to be able to,
like you want to conduct, say you want to be like Tony Robbins.
You get all the information you can about Tony Robbins
and you conduct you, this is how I want to live my life.
This is almost like, this is your manuscript.
Yeah, you know what I'm going to do.
Yeah.
And I'm going to live like Tony.
I'm not going to be Tony Robbins, but I'm going to live it.
I'm going to conduct myself like Tony Robbins.
Yeah.
So you got to live it, you got to breathe it.
Yeah, and you have to be that before you actually become the person.
You're not going to become the person.
You think you're prepared to be Tony Robbins right now.
Tomorrow you're Tony Robbins.
You didn't know.
It's going to take time.
So I'm going to become this guy.
You know, I'm going to be this guy before because you're not ready.
But when time comes, you're going to be ready.
You're going to be Tony Robbins.
This is my life.
I'm accustomed to.
Of course I got this role.
Of course I got this job.
Of course I got this ready.
I'm prepared for it.
Wouldn't even be surprised.
They can beat Mike Tyson.
is Mike Tyson himself.
That remains to be seen.
Listen, the results speak for itself.
I don't have to say anything.
Nobody want to deal with crazy.
They're trembling bones.
Didn't everybody fear me?
I'm the king of the barbarians.
Mike's pacing in the ring of the shirt off.
These big men were scared, stiff.
I'm not afraid of nobody.
To show the real world champion
that's the best fighter in the era.
Champion of the world Mike Tyson.
Your guys know what I do.
You know what I do.
I put people in body bags,
so we know what's going to happen.
I know I really broke his spirit.
You don't want to fuck with me?
I'm not scared of these guys.
They're going to intimidate me,
and they think that I think that they're scared.
Oh, well, the get scared that's on them.
I'm going to bring the pain to him.
And that's all this.
Then we go see how tough you are, tough guy.
I keep my eyes on him.
I keep my eyes on him.
I keep my eyes on him.
When I came to this fight, I was the best fighter in the world,
and I man, lives that can beat me.
I'm not worrying about losing to him.
The undefeited, the undefeated, heavyweight champion on the world.
The greatest fighter ever lived.
Ever, there's no one that can match me.
I'm the most brutal and vicious and most ruthless champion that's ever been.
They're gonna fear me.
You have to be the champion before you become the champion, so that means lifestyle.
Have to be in before you become them.
You gotta be him before you become him.
That's how it starts.
You look at somebody, I wanna be like him.
You don't say, hey, I'm a bad movers.
I wanna fight everybody out here, nobody's gonna kick my ass.
You see somebody and say, hey, I might wanna do that.
Well, greatness is when you make your delusions your reality.
Nothing's impossible for somebody who's gonna try.
If you're gonna try, it's capable of being done.
But you'd fight Tyson Fury.
Yeah, I fight a lion if the price is right.
Objective is your total surrender, your total domination.
I'm gonna destroy you.
That's why Rogan said when you watched you, you were intimidated.
Your rage is a very unique rage.
Well, that's their fault to be intimidated.
How you're gonna scare you for something you worked for?
I respect a person who's willing to die for what he truly wants.
Ali had the will of win like nobody to ever live in boxing.
He believes he projected to his opponent.
Really look at how does Ali beat George Foreman?
How do I leave you son?
You listen, how do you beat these guys?
How did he even beat Joe Frazier?
Fighting the way he fights.
He beat them because he refused to lose.
But we have to believe that we're divine
and that we learn from our experience
because confidence breeds success
and success breeds confidence.
They go hand to hand.
Do you have to know who you are first?
You know who I am.
People say, they're greats all the time, you did,
that whatever they say, I know who I am.
Without self-loving, nothing.
The self-love is discipline
And discipline is doing what you hate to do
But do it like you love it
I never wanted to be obscure
I was born in obscurity
And I never wanted to deal with that again
I'm invincible I'm a savage
I'm ferocious
I'm the smartest savage
I know I wasn't going to die before I became champ
When this is over
Everybody's gonna know my name
Did you ever fight somebody that you were like
That they got you? Was there ever a kid that got you or no
Absolutely
In order to be good, you have to lose it and understand loss.
Because loss is life.
Adversity makes the strong stronger or the weak weaker.
12.13, what happens next?
Again, he'd arrested.
And I see Muhammad Ali come and visit the institution that I'm in.
You said you're in jail and Ali shows up?
I'm 12 years old and Ali comes there and they showed the movie the greatest first.
So this is 77.
And after the movie, the lights come up and Ali comes in.
And I see him.
I'm like, well, I want to be just like him.
I don't know how to have him the spirit every boom, I want to be like him.
And then I get transferred to this other facility, you know, for real bad kids.
I met a gentleman there that was a boxer and he used to teach me how to box.
So he took me into a great training named Custamato and that's why I'm here.
I respected Ali and I worship Ali.
Yeah, this is the moment I knew I wanted to be a fighter.
Unfricking believable story.
So your inspiration happened at 12 years old.
Yeah.
Then you meet Cuss.
Yes.
How is Cuss treating you?
What was his way of leading you?
This degree of just peeling all that dirt and stuff,
that insecurity and developing into character.
And that's why I had a wonderful time with him,
because everything about his life was about me.
This world is one big school and a way of the student of this world.
The mind is always hungry.
The mind wants to do good.
good, but we get so many negative thoughts in our minds almost overwhelming to be positive.
I've been down and up, down and up, broken up, and why am I still here?
Because life is going to give everybody a bad hand.
No one's going to leave here without being tried in life.
So inspiration.
So is that what got you to be willing to be disciplined to get what you want, like to become a champion?
At 14 years ago, I'm willing to do everything it takes to be a champion?
Absolutely.
And then I had cuss over there telling me why should he?
have it. That's one day I never had in my life being, because I always got picked on and I never
had jealousy or envyness about anything. And Cuss possessed that, you know, and he was telling me,
why should he have all that money and you don't? Why do you believe that he's better than you?
Why do you think he should have all that money and you don't? And he was really serious about it.
And that's what the competition. That's the right thing. He's breathing that stuff right in me. Why should, why should he
having he's not better than you. How did you handle that when he told you that 14?
Would it piss you off where you're like I'm gonna go train to whoop his ass and get there one
day what was your response to it? He said one day this guy knew how to really get in my head
he said man you're fighting good but I wish you were bigger. I wish you were like Kenny
Norton Mike Wheeler because they had big bodies and they could intimidate somebody and
that hurt myself I said I make sure the whole world will be afraid of me. He trained me to be
totally ferocious in the ring and out.
Yeah, and that's what I was.
That's what I was.
Push yourself more.
You push yourself when you, sometimes you have to submit to yourself.
I'm doing everything.
The first day in the morning, three in the morning,
do your four miles, come back in.
Three in the morning.
Yeah.
Do your four miles come back and do your body exercise and all that stuff.
After that, I go after the eat breakfast,
go to the school, come back from school.
go, eat mine, then I go back to the gym at 6 o'clock, train, come back at 8 o'clock, watch fights,
start all over again.
Everybody here's going to fight for what they love for.
Even they never had a fist fighting their life, they're going to fight.
Listen, once I'm involved in a certain, I want to know the beginning and I want to know what came from, how it was started, who's the first guy that invented it.
That's just how my mind works.
How could these guys even dare fight me?
How dare you even think that you could beat me?
And you sound like a mathematician when you're talking about the art of boxing.
I was born for it.
There's nothing I would do unless I have a possibility of being humiliated.
Because when I succeed, I truly succeed.
I was bred to climb high and high into the sky and tumble down.
I am truly grateful that I found my wings before I hit the ground.
I don't care how good you are in anything.
You don't have discipline.
You ain't nobody.
Because you give up under the slightest struggle.
without discipline.
Do what you hate to do, but do it like you love it.
You might not know this now, but you're this close,
igniting your inner champion and reclaiming your destiny.
It's just that I want to be up more than anybody in the planet want me to be down.
Be champion before you become champion.
Wanting to get the best out of yourself, not competing with anyone else, but you.
They don't back down from anyone, and that's what got me in trouble.
I don't play games.
I don't kiss anyone's ass, and I'm a real man.
And that's why, regardless of being a fight, anything,
I'm a man, and that's why I want to be a man.
And if I die, I want to die, man.
When you really focus, you hear everything.
When I come through the ring,
I notice everybody can hear you breathing.
I can hear you talking, I hear everything.
But I have supreme confidence, but I'm scared to death.
I'm totally afraid.
I'm afraid of everything.
I'm afraid of losing.
I'm afraid of being humiliated.
But I'm totally confident.
Closer I get to the ring, the more confidence I get.
The closer, more confidence I get, the closer more confidence I get.
But as close I get to the ring, I'm more confident.
Once I'm in the ring, I'm a god.
No one can beat me.
You know my name until the end of time.
I'm a savage.
That's who I was.
I didn't want nothing until I got something.
And when I said something, I mean the crown.
You knew from the beginning the world was going to know who Mike Tyson was?
100, yeah.
At what age did you know that?
14.
Why is that?
Because I was beating everybody at 14.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
More than my skills, I had the mindset.
To kill, destroy, break them down.
It's just, I'm the greatest.
You know, success is all about a lifestyle.
I live the lifestyle as a champion at 14.
In order to be the champion, you have to live a lifestyle with a champ.
It's all about discipline doing what you hate to do, but doing it like you love.
it, that's what it's all about.
If you don't have discipline, I don't care how skill for you, you're nothing.
You don't want to be the best ever, why are you here?
Confidence breeds success and success breeds confident.
It's all about the belief that you can do it.
Belief is more powerful than anything.
Only thing we can do is just have that focus and believe in ourselves
and believe that I want to be up, then anybody in the world wants me to be down.
And it's all about, like I said before, self-belief.
My whole success is from belief.
I just believe in the truth set you free, but it's going to make you miserable first.
And that's how we approve as a person, improving ourselves.
You have to first have the aptitude to do what you claim you want to do.
And if you have that, and the determination and the will to win, there's nothing that you can't do.
It's possible with nothing compared to anybody that tries.
Nothing's impossible then.
Confidence breathed success.
Success breeds confidence.
And confidence applied properly with superseded genius.
Life is just a circle.
They're going to hate me again one day.
And then God willing, they're going to respect me again one day.
Because in order to be a master, you have to first be a fool, I guess.
You have to believe in yourself before you believe in anything else.
God, we're living.
you have to believe in you.
And once you believe in you
and have a relationship with you
is nothing that you can't do.
You have to be the champion in this.
To be the champion in this.
Win the day.
So that's why exercise is important
to leave your stress.
When in the morning, you win the day.
And so I realize life is all about
in here.
It's all about your belief system.
Face fear.
Never lose when you face it.
Trust me.
Never lose when you face fear.
No, our mistakes don't define us.
High points don't define us.
Life defines us.
As long as you have happy moments, take as many as you can,
because life is just a flick of the eye.
Well, that's what life is about.
You got to sit in your room sometime,
give your subconscious some time and spend time.
And just inventing yourself being with the most exciting people in the world,
doing the most exciting things in the world,
and just living that fantasy.
and that fantasy would become reality one day.
Discipline could be taking your illusions
and turn them into a reality.
Dream for yourself something bigger
than what you can ever imagine and you become it.
Now that's discipline.
To change anything, you have to change yourself.
You know, I have to look in the mirror and say,
what do I want to do to make me a better person?
Or what is it that I can do?
I could define myself as being a better person
than I am now.
You know?
Who can that help?
Who can I worship?
Who can I do something to a wit that would make me feel like a better person
and help me reach my highest potential?
You have to find that for us.
What is the guy can do?
Help people.
You know, that's all I think about how can we help somebody?
Visualizing, looking into the mirror,
that's what it's all about touching your inner core of your consciousness.
I don't believe in talent.
Well, some people, they have talent.
It's good.
It helps when you have talent.
As long as you have a lot of determination and willpower.
and willpower, that's all you need.
And you have to have the will to win.
I think anybody with the will to win
and desire not to lose will succeed.
I would think of myself as a roaring gladiator,
like Alexander the Great.
I feel like I'm a ruler when I'm in my mind
thinking about accomplishing something.
I think possible, nothing's impossible to somebody who tries.
So I never think about failure in that perspective.
I think about feeling, but not in that perspective.
perspective. I need the pressure. Without the pressure, there's no me. Without the pressure,
I don't have the guts to say, hey, I'm going to fight this guy. I have to have the pressure.
Anything that I'm afraid to do, I do it. And that's just how I live by life.
The more you're comfortable with you, the more you be comfortable with death. And the more
comfortable you are with death, the more peace you are with yourself.
I knew never to get discouraged. I knew it. I would get my day to continue to try hard and
believe in myself.
Being who I am and I'm going to die being who I am and I'm going to live being who I am.
This is just who I am.
It's all about what you believe.
I got belief in myself and belief is more powerful than anything.
I don't care how good you are in anything.
You don't have discipline.
You ain't nobody because you give up a slightest struggle without discipline.
Discipline to do what you hate to do, but do it like you love it.
You might not know this now, but you're this close,
signating your inner champion and reclaiming your destiny.
It's just that I want to be up,
want anybody in the planet want me to be down.
Be champion before you become champion.
Wanting to get the best out of yourself,
not competing with anyone else, but you.
Don't back down from anyone,
and that's what got me in trouble.
I don't play games.
I don't kiss anyone's ass, and I'm a real man.
And that's why, regardless of being a fight anything,
I'm a man.
And that's why I want to be in a fight anything.
That's why I want to be a man.
And if I die, I want to die, man.
And when you really focus, you hear everything.
When I come to the ring, I notice everybody
can hear you breathing.
I hear you talking.
I hear everything.
When I come out, I have supreme confidence,
but I'm scared to death.
I'm totally afraid.
I'm afraid of everything.
I'm afraid of losing.
I'm afraid of being humiliated.
But I'm totally confident.
Closer I get to a ring, more confidence I get the closer
and more confidence I get the closer more.
until I get closer, more confidence I get.
But as close I get to the ring, I'm more confident.
Once I'm in the ring, I'm a god.
No one can beat me.
There's no one who's suffice.
My name's until the end of time.
I'm a savage.
That's who I was.
I didn't want nothing until I got something.
And when I said something, I mean the crown.
You knew from the beginning the world was going to know who Mike Tyson was?
100%.
Yeah.
At what age did you know that?
14.
Why is that?
Because I was beating everybody at 14.
More than my skills, I had the mindset.
To kill, destroy, break them down.
It's just, I'm the greatest.
You know, success is all about a lifestyle.
I live the lifestyle as a champion.
I'm 14.
In order to be the champion, you have to live a lifestyle as a champ.
It's all about discipline, doing what you hate to do,
but doing it like you love it.
That's what it's all about.
If you don't have discipline,
I'm not skill for you or you're nothing.
You don't want to be the best ever, why are you here?
Confidence breeds success and success breathed confident.
It's all about the belief that you can do it.
Belief is more powerful than anything.
Only thing we can do is just have that focus

I think about feeling, but not in that perspective.
I need the pressure.
Without the pressure, there's no me.
Without the pressure, I don't have the guts to say,
hey, I'm gonna fight this guy.
I have to have the pressure.
Anything that I'm afraid to do, I do it.
And that's just how I live by life.
The more you're comfortable with you,
the more you be comfortable with death.
And the more comfortable you are with death,
the more at peace you are with yourself.
I used to know never to get discouraged.
I used to know it.
I would get my day to continue to try hard and believe in myself.
And I'm going to die being who I am, and I'm going to live being who I am.
This is just who I am.
It's all about what you believe.
I got belief in myself, and belief is more powerful than anything.
Tyson!
In order to be good, you have to lose it and understand loss.
Because loss is life.
I think of competition is people reaching their highest potential when competition comes.
Competition is always good because it helps you not to give in under the
slightest struggle in life. Life is going to give everybody a bad hand. No one's going to leave
here without being tried in life. Wow. And you have to be, you know, you're going to have to
take it. Adversity make the strong stronger or the weak waker. People got to be accounted. That's
what competition is all about. Everybody in their family know who's the strongest one in the family,
who's the matriarch. Even if they're older, they can kick his ass, they know he's the boss or she's
the boss. That doesn't have nothing to do with strength and big big. They know who the boss is. They know who can
run the house, they know who the yes know.
He distinguished himself or she distinguishes himself out of all of us.
That's why we know they're the boss.
Cuss knows when to put the gas on and when to put the brakes on.
You know, that's what the teacher does.
He's a teacher.
We're all teaching everyone.
All of us teach everyone.
We're all teachers and students.
This world is one big school and we're the students of this world.
And that's what's the competition shit.
Why should he have and he's not better than you?
He said, man, you're fighting good, but I wish you were bigger.
And that hurt my feeling like, I make sure the whole world will be afraid of me.
It's cool that people are seekers.
I think that's very interesting that we're seekers,
but we have to believe that we're divine
and that we learn from our experience.
Because confidence breeds success and success breeds confidence.
They go hand to hand.
You can't accomplish anything unless you say, oh, I'm a prick.
I could never do that.
I'm not born to do that.
Only certain people can't.
Only white people could do that.
I can't do that.
There's nothing I can do it.
But just the mindset of wanting to be the best.
What is the mindset you can transfer to somebody being able?
I just find out the first guy really, really succeeded on this shit,
probably 1900 or something like that.
Even if you were the crook,
just go from there and go from all the way there
and read all the way until you get to you.
Okay?
So one study history.
Yeah, study until it gets to you.
And then you realize those people were just you and funny clothes.
You read everything they did.
Now you practice it.
Now let's see what this shit really work.
I hate the whole aspect of the warrior mentality
and the duration of it.
That's probably the main part.
The length of how long you have to go through
that psychological warfare.
It takes tolls on people.
Yeah.
That kind of stuff.
It's just really rigid.
If you become the best,
you have to almost become fanatical.
You know, this is my life.
This is all I live for.
This is my air.
This is everything.
Yeah, I guess most athletes feel that way.
They have one of those old-time trainers in there.
Have that particular type of method of training.
Yeah.
It just becomes your life.
So you can do this in your sleep because of this.
So we're getting regimented.
Sometimes it's hard to accept who you are.
You know, sometimes I see young kids out here and they come inside and they don't like who they are in prison.
And it's really difficult, you know, to accept who you are in this world.
Because really we don't know, but then in order to have fringe you have to be put in this particular kind of, I don't know, you have to be labeled, so to speak, you know.
So we don't know who we are.
Right.
Do we get, I guess, to a certain degree of evolution?
It's just dedicated and sacrificing your life to be in a particular way you want to be able, like you want to conduct it.
Say you want to be like Tony Robbins.
You get all the information you can about Tony Robbins and you conduct you.
This is how I want to live my life.
It's almost like, um, this is your manuscript.
This is what I'm going to do.
Yeah.
And I'm going to live like Tony.
I'm not going to be Tony Robbins, but I'm going to live here.
I'm going to conduct myself like Tony Robbins.
Yeah.
So you got to live it, you got to breathe it.
Yeah.
And you have to be that before you actually become the person.
Interesting.
You're not going to become the person over there.
Like, you think you're prepared to be Tony Robbins right now.
Tomorrow are you Tony Robbins.
You didn't know.
It's going to take time.
So I'm going to become this guy.
You know, I'm gonna be this guy before
because you're not ready,
but when time comes, you want to be ready.
You're gonna be Tony Robbins.
This is my life.
I'm accustomed to, of course I got this role.
Of course I got this job.
Of course I got this right.
I prepared for it.
You wouldn't need to be surprised.
Everything changes when my classes change.
You know, I never understood my struggle.
You know, I had everything I wanted,
but still I was fighting the light.
My dark spirit was still fighting the light.
That was my struggle.
You couldn't, I couldn't get anything done.
What's the question you wish you could have answered?
School of mine, why that's my purpose here.
Yeah.
I think my purpose is to be the best person
I could possibly be before I die.
Mm-hmm.
You know what I mean?
That could be my purpose in life.
See how far we can go in life before we die.
Yeah.
You know.
But suppose, people don't think in that perspective.
That's what I love who Jay told me,
because I'm talking some,
I think I'm talking from glamorous shit.
I'm talking about some fly shit.
And he was telling me, I'm Mike, you know.
There's some people that live in the outskirts of fucking Ohio somewhere.
They just live simple lives, and that's what they want to do, Mike.
Enjoy their life?
This shit we're talking about.
There's nothing, Mike.
They're ready to die.
It may be made to meet God, taking care of the kids, the people they love.
Or may go on a vacation.
May you never go on a vacation.
I leave the town, but this is just a simple life.
This is what makes them happy.
Yeah.
And I really come in a place, if you're nothing,
if you're something, you're nothing.
Mm-hmm.
You know, isn't that so fucking shower?
If you're not something, you're nothing.
What's my definition of something?
Mm-hmm.
Somebody went, well, fucking, what, the money in their pocket?
I have no fucking concept of humanity, it's what life is.
It's trying to figure shit out.
You just go with the flow.
Mm-hmm.
I know my demons, and I realize in life,
everybody's gonna really find them out of it.
You think you gotta hide that shit.
It doesn't work that way.
So you just started to forgive yourself on things?
Pretty much.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, it comes around, yeah.
Wow.
I'm not going to hate my fuck.
The only shit you did, it's cool, man.
God love you.
That's bullshit.
I don't function.
I don't think that.
I don't think God leaves you to figure it out.
It's not yourself.
Is it cool?
It's cool.
If it's not, it's not you figure it out.
It's hard to be kind when you're trying
to be the best at the same time, too, huh?
Yeah, but you're trying to be the best at the same time too, huh?
That's the part of discipline.
Discipline is separating this hill.
You know, you have to do what you hate to do,
but do it like you absolutely love it with vigor
and do the handle.
If I had more time, I could be even better
than what I am.
Yeah, and if I had more time,
I could probably write through all the wrongs
than I did.
If I had more time, I could love spending
in time with my kids, my grand kids.
That's a great.
I'm just going to always try hard and see what's going to happen.
Listen, I've been worse than this.
I've been in the worst situation than I've ever been.
And I didn't give up then.
Why I'm going to give up now?
I'm at the height of my life now.
Why am I going to give up?
I love it.
What the hell am I doing?
I love that.
This is a dream right now.
