Yeah, I once heard Steve Harvey say something about for all you players who's sitting up on your couch at your woman's house, you're homeless. You're homeless. You're homeless. And I used to be a player, I used to be like that too. So I was homeless. He pointed out some key things, though, that, you know, we always talk about those building blocks like family and friends. It plays a key role in what you need a support system. You know, and it goes back to that. So, you know, you got to thank God. You know, some people, you know, again, we found some people ain't got no family. Some people don't have the slightest idea what family is. Or what it means. Yeah, or friend. You know, so those are the kind of things that we really got to emphasize, you know, in terms of education. You know, and it begins in the family too. You know. Right. Because I remember when we was kids, you do something around the block. You get home, you get beat up again. You know what I mean? You get around the block. So it always say, take a village to raise a child. Right. You know, and that's very true. So, you know, like some people, they have children, but they never gave them them building blocks. And they just like let them loose on the neighborhood. It's like a pack of wool. You know what I'm saying? For real. Yeah, it is real. It's like a pack of wool. It's real. You know what I'm saying? It's real. So, yeah. It's real. The other thing too about the homeless, when you talk about that, everybody don't fit into those categories. And one of the problems is nobody has really analyzed the homeless because you got some mentally ill there. Right. You got, you know, you got drug addiction. You know what I'm saying? You know, you got people that don't have no education, you know, and all that kind of stuff. So, you know, it's very key right now. And one of the things just got found out, they said that the board of commissioners, for the neighborhood council, said that they failed. They failed. You got SCI saying they failed. You know? Yeah. You know, you got all these different operations, Healthy Streets, talking about they failed. Right. You know? And so I was telling somebody about the domino effect because the whole structure around the homeless was to put them in skid row. All the homeless from everywhere would be in skid row and they would put all these institutions up and provide them services. Right. Right. All the services be right there. Right there. And it sounds like, so that was the first policy, you know what I'm saying, called the containment area. So that policy itself failed. And everything else after that was going to fall like a domino effect. Right. Like a straight domino effect. So the homeless really, because what you just said, there's a lot of talented people in that group called homeless. Yep. They got skills, lost their job. And you know, they got a lot of education, a lot of skills. And they can run their own thing. They need to have their own, you know, they need to have their own hotels or lofts. Right. Their own daycare, laundromat, cafe. Right. All the things that anybody's supposed to have. The homeless are going to have to come together. Right. You know what I'm saying? Financially, you know, they're going to do their little nickels and dimes, you know what I'm saying, two in a few. Yeah. And do their own thing. And that's a good thing to have enforced in that corner. You know, you realize you have to do it. You realize you have to do for self. Right. Well, that's where it starts. It starts with self. Yeah. It starts with self. And once you start with self, then you can, the domino effect, like you said, then now it can trinkle on down. I can actually help somebody who may not be, or who may be in a worse situation than I was in. Yeah. Because when you say that, you don't know. If you ride the bus, you can look at this, you can look at this gentleman in the three piece suit, and that man might be homeless. Yeah, I've seen him on the bus. Yeah. Because it's weird, because I was out getting me and my daughter something to eat one day, and somebody said, do you have some spare change? I said, no dear, I don't have any spare change. I said, I'm trying to feed me and my daughter. He said, well, ma'am, I'm homeless. I said, sir, so am I. And he told me I was the cleanest homeless person he ever seen. Yeah. I remember I was homeless. I couldn't get no dollar. They said I was too sharp. I want a dollar, man. You know what I mean? You find me a dollar, where you at? So yeah. And you know what? For downtown, you know, I take a lot of pride in the homeless, because they be cleaning up the streets. That's a good thing. They look better. It look just like you on Main Street. You go down like on Gladys, around there. Yeah. You know, they still messing around saying, do you, you know. That's a good thing, though. Yeah. That's a good thing. That's a good thing. That's a good thing. That's a good thing. That's a good thing. That's a good thing. That's a good thing. That's, that's, that will let people know that just because they're homeless, they, that they still have pride. Yeah. Also. But they do need housing. Go ahead. Also that they still have their morals. Right. You know, ethnics. Yeah. Right. You know, a lot of them, when they become homeless, they just fit in and give up. Oh, I'm going to go over here with this crowd. They quit. I'm going to quit. Instead of keep going. Yeah. You know. And that's what life is about. It's basically about, you know, to keep going. Because we all have stumbled. And what do we do? You keep, you get up and keep going. Yeah. And that's like, I'll be in Glatts Park. I maintain the park. And I deal with a lot of homeless people. And when you kind of realize that some people are homeless because they want to be homeless. Right. You know, and that's that giving up on they self. And that's that, you know, that's that, you know, that's that, that's that. That's that. That's that. That's that. That's that. That's that. That's that. That's that. That's that. That's where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get where you get You know what I'm saying? How do you steal from the homeless? He going to hell in a handbag. How do you steal from the homeless? Yeah. Huh? He don't need that money. When they hit you with embezzlement, that mean you done took a large chunk from the homeless. Hold on. Wait a minute. I got something else. What about the dumping lawsuit? Oh, yeah. How much is the homeless people going to get down? Yeah, they got the money. They won the super. Who going to get the money? Who going to get the money? They done chopped their money up already. We'll drive by and throw somebody else homeless out there. You'll dump somebody else. This is what y'all going to get scared of, bro. We're going to get somebody else and keep taking the money, doing what we want with it. Yeah. But see, that's another key thing we talked about a long time ago. Like, you know, the cities all we're talking about, they don't have no money. Now, they're always arresting people for drugs. You know what I'm saying? They arrest them for the drugs. They got their money. I like this right here. We never know how much money they took every year. Okay? True. Every year. Now, think about it. Why can't that money go, half of it go back into the neighborhood? Hold on. Wait a minute. We don't even know how much money they got. They're going to a different fund. I don't know. Okay? Yeah, they're going to my wife need a new ring. You know? I need that Mercedes. I'm dead, you know, because I haven't been a victim of that. Yeah, but they threw me out. The biggest drug bust of the year. Where the money? They showed me the money, huh? Oh, yeah. What did they do with all those drugs? Oh, yeah. They go. All the drugs, too. They recycle it. The money goes into the city. We're going to bust you and put the drugs right back on the street. That's where it goes. That's where it goes. That's like if you look at the gun gatherings. How y'all pick up the guns and turn around somebody and get arrested for the same guns you done wrote down as a turn in? Because it wasn't turned in. It was flipped. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. That's the system that we live in. It's corrupt. They're do as I say, but not do as I do. Yeah. What a homeless going to do for they self. They already doing for that. Why you think how a person feel when they truly homeless and they hungry and they down on they luck and they ask a person at a restaurant or something. They know you won't throw this away. Excuse me, sir. Can I have this? Yeah. I would rather ask you than steal from you. Well, that's what we have to start educating people on that because these people don't know like the restaurant. They may have somebody in a in working, busting their tables. That his chef might be homeless, but they don't know that I can't go in there. I can't go in there and say, Hi, sir. My name is Shauna Sterling and here's my certificate for being a chef, but I'm homeless. What they gonna do? They gonna look at me and tell me, get my butt up out of there. On my address is license plate number 623. Well, so. That's crazy. We have to start educating people. There are some tactics you could use for employment. Like if you want to work somewhere. I don't care where. I don't care if it's in a restaurant. Just show up. Every day just show up. Start walking, walk around and start doing stuff. Taking orders. Turn them in and do it. I'm just saying we have to start educating people on that because, you know, when that guy told me I was the cleanest homeless person he ever seen. And I looked at him like, what do you mean? You know, you don't have a permanent address. Neither do I. Yeah. But I still have to go to work every day. You know, I have been dealing with a skill role ever since the late 80s. The late 80s, early 90s. I did. I spent a lot of time on the streets myself. And it's one thing I can say about OG. I'm not a big fan of OG. I'm not a big fan of OG. I'm not a big fan of OG. And she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she all different calibers of life. Right. You know what I mean? And I couldn't believe, you know what I mean, that they was out there like that. You know what I mean? But I understand now. You know what I mean? Throughout my times of being homeless and being out there, you know what I mean, going through different things in life, I learned and understand, man, you know what I mean? I care about somebody just as much as I care about myself. And, you know what I mean, it made me believe that in time, man, things will get better. You know what I mean? If you just go by and give somebody a hug and tell them how they're doing, that'll help them. It goes a long way. I mean, I never turn my back on Skid Row, even though after I got out of Skid Row, I always come back. Right on. I mean, OG started doing the three-on-three basketball league. It's been going on almost, what, eight, nine years now. We got a lot of good people that's in there, man, contributing, doing good things. We just brought a championship back to Skid Row. Yep, yep. And it's just wonderful, you know what I mean? I feel a part of something, you know what I mean? Because I had everything handed to me as a kid growing up with my family. So, you know what I mean? I never knew what it was not to have until I got on my own, being a man, you know what I mean, on my own. So, OG is like a father to me. He showed me structure. Being in that caliber of life, he showed me how to have structure about myself. So, you know what I mean? I look up to him as a father to me. You know what I mean? Out here. And these guys, all these guys that you see here right now, I look up to all these guys because I know them from the street. You know what I mean? And I know they got good hearts also, so it makes me want to be better. So, throughout the Skid Row area, you know what I mean? You got a lot of people, you know what I mean, that don't want to do nothing for themselves. You know what I mean? For whatever reason. But I don't kick anybody when they're down. Well, say that one again. Say that last few words. Say them again. I refuse to kick anybody when they're down. I don't care if you're laying on the curb with one slice of bread, some dirty shoes on. I ain't going to kick you because if I got a dollar, you got that. You know what I mean? We need more people like that. And I think we got a caller on the line right now, too. Is the caller ready to go live? Yes. Hey, hello. Who am I speaking with? This is Mo Light. Mo Light. What's going on? How you doing? I'm doing good. Good. I've just been listening in. Okay, yes. I know you weren't able to make it in physically, but I know you had a story you want to share right now, don't you? Yes. I want to share my story about my experience of being homeless. And it just started about last November when I was in Las Vegas and I was out there. I had an apartment and I was just going in trying to put in so many applications. I was in so many places. I was in so many places. I was in so many places. I was in so many places. I was in so many places. I was in so many places. I was in so many places. I was in so many places. I was in so many interviews and I couldn't get a job. So I ended up eventually losing my apartment and had to move back out here to California. And ever since I've been out here, it's been on the same struggle, still putting in applications, still trying to find a job, and I'm still in the same situation of being homeless. And now I have my 14-year-old daughter with me, and it's like I thought I would be able to get more help by having a child, and it's just the opposite. Everywhere we go, it's like nobody's telling us they won't help us. They have the funds to help us, but it seems like they refuse to help us. I mean, I went to the Family Solutions Centers. They're supposed to. That's their job to help families, and I feel that they didn't help me at all. They put me up for two weeks and had me come back every Monday. That last Monday I went, they told me there was nothing else they could do for me but just to find somewhere to go. And if I'm telling you I have nowhere else to go, what can I do? What am I supposed to do when you have the funds to help? You told me you had $2.7 million to help. I'm homeless, but I feel like they're picking and choosing which families they want to help. I haven't heard from them since then. This has been in August. They're supposed to call me back with the place for me to stay. I haven't heard from them. I called the number. They done moved to a whole new location. They still haven't called me, let me know what's going on. And I'm supposed to have a case manager with the people. Has he tried a union rescue mission? Apparently, no, I didn't go there. But I have got some help. I'm in a little bit. I'm in a better situation now. The county is helping us. They put us up in a room and stuff. They're going to help us with the move-in deposit. So if it wasn't for that coming through, then I don't know what type of situation I'd still be in. But you know, you kept keeping the faith. Because I know when I met you down at that police rally and everything, and you know, with the stuff that you was about to start going through and everything. But like I said, just no matter what, always keep positive thoughts in your mind. And you know, and kind of network and stuff like that. Keep pushing. Keep pushing. And if it didn't help me, I mean, it couldn't have bought it off. But what really helped me was my daughter. She had a dream. She told her God had spoke to her in a dream and told her everything was going to be okay. And she came and told me. And after that, it seemed like everything just started falling into place for us. So I thank her for that. Thank God for that. I just thank the Most High. I was just about to say that. You know, you know what I'm saying? The Most High is carrying you, regardless of the stumbling blocks. You know, the Most High is still carrying you. You know? I have family members. I'm like, I got so tired of telling the whole story. And they would sit there and listen to me and the whole story. Give it to God. And tell me that they still would help me. Like your daughter said. I had one family member tell me that she was getting ready to go to Jamaica for two weeks. And her funds was for her trip. All I asked for was $20. Hmm. Well, that's... Give it to God. He's going to provide. He's going to provide. Don't lose your faith. Bobby Buck was just saying the same thing. Don't lose your faith in God. Keep your faith in God. Your daughter had that vision. Right. She had that vision for a reason. You know? We don't just have visions for no reason. We don't just dream about different things. And the Most High giving us signs for no reason. It's the reason behind it. Put your faith in the Most High. And keep on moving forward. There you go. Okay. Well, thank you. That was awesome. Keep your head up, girl. Keep your head up. That's all you got to do. Yeah. Because a lot of times in today's time in society, like I said earlier, we have no more family morals. No more ethics. No more standards. It's no longer taught in the family. You know? No. And that's the first person to let you down or do you wrong is your family in today's time. That's right. And that's bad. But the Most High? He'll never come with you. He might not come when you want him to. There you go. He's always on time. He's sending his message to you. Don't just keep going forward. Yeah. That's why I said I've been doing this. I see I don't have the family to turn to help. So and I had my own. It was my auntie. I told her the same situation. She told me it was nice to hear from me. But with my situation, she can't help me. But look at this. Look at what you said. Look at what you said. What you just said. You keep on moving forward. You keep on moving forward. You keep on moving forward. Regardless of what anybody else is doing, you keep on moving forward. You know what I'm saying? No, the Most High going to carry you through it. Right. That's why I love homeless people. Because see, homeless people, God is watching over you every day. There's no way you can sleep on the back alley in the hallway in your automobile, you know what I mean, on the couch of your auntie, you know, because they bugging you, driving you crazy about you being there when you leaving. So all that stress that you go through, homeless people, God is watching over you. Okay. That's a beautiful thing. Okay. And that's why you got to keep faith. So from Skid Row, we are holy ground. That's for real. Look at all the people that are living, going to be out there tonight. Yeah. In the night. Yeah. Yeah. But they're going to be up here in the morning, too. Thank God. I see what the chance of next sleep and so comfortably looks like. Because God ain't went nowhere. Yeah. God ain't went nowhere. That's right. That's their faith. Yeah. That's what faith keep you every night. You ain't got to worry about nobody hatching you up. That's why they don't want to go to the mission. The homeless people rather sleep outside. Yeah. They go to the mission. Like you said, you don't get no service. Yeah. You go there, you don't get no service. You get drove crazy. You ain't going to hear me falling out and everything. I'm trying to get some help. So what they, homeless people got to network. You know. Yeah. You know, talk to other people, ask them, you know, where some stuff is. I got some help one time. I was trying to find somebody, a homeless person that's right over there. Yeah. Yeah. And remember, you have inner strength. You have inner strength. You know, God be working through you. You got that inner strength. You got to keep pushing forward, regardless what you got to hear at the missions, what you got to hear at the different shelters or whatnot, regardless of what adversity, what comes against you while you're trying to make it out of your present situation. No, you got that inner strength. You're strong. You're not weak. You will prevail. You will make it through. I can feel that script right now. You got to be stronger. Oh, yeah. It will make you strong. Because I know. Oh, boy. I thought everybody was boot camp for me. You can't get stronger. You don't go through nothing. Right. I thank God for all the stuff I go through. Like, give me another one. Yeah. Give me another one. I take it as a learning experience. Yeah. But the good part about anything, about the problems, see, God give you problems and some problems you can't handle. Those are the ones you take to God. See, people want to handle everything. Which means you can't handle it. You can't handle it. You can't handle it. You can't handle it. You can't handle it. And they want to be God. Right. But see, God going to give you some problems. One thing, he wants you to handle some of them. Then the ones you can't handle, you take to him. That means you recognize him. Okay? Because if you go crazy over a problem, you're trying to solve it, and you can't. You're something wrong. And then sometimes the problems in which they're presented to you are not just for you, for you to have that learning experience, for you to share with someone else. They helped them along their way. That's right. So let's get ready to say. Because you're still a vessel, you're a messenger for the Most High still. You know? So just allow him to do his will and continue to do what you know you're supposed to do. And that's why I want to make sure. And I think it was a wake-up call for me, because I know I haven't spoke to God in a while. He said, well, if you're not going to talk to him, I'm going to do something to get you attention. Yeah! I'm going to talk to you then. You're going to get your attention. You got to also have faith enough to believe that God is not going to put nothing on you that you can't handle in no way. That's right. So. I mean, you just keep moving forward and keep your focus on him and keep faith. You know what I mean? It's going to get all right. It might not get all right right then, but it's going to get all right. Might not come when you want it, but it's all the time. And I want you to stay on the line. I want you to stay on the line because I want Shana to explain about that part where you went to this place. They supposed to help people with bad credit. Yeah. Listen to this. I went to, I said, okay, my back is up against the wall now, and me and my daughter need a place. I'm staying in unhealthy situations because of my lupus. So I'm going through the penny saver, and I go, oh, they help people with bad credit. So I call them. They charge me $150 for the service. Okay, I'm going to pull it out, little pennies I've been saving. Go down. They give me a list. I qualify for permanent housing because I had a job. So. I'm going around to these places. I find something that's really nice for my daughter. I felt safe in the neighborhood. Wasn't the best of neighborhoods, but I felt safe. All right. So I go, I call them. I said, okay, I found a place. Here's the address. She says, okay, how much is it a month for rent? I told her. She said, okay, you need to bring me the deposit. So I happily go down, and I gave her $800 as a deposit. For this apartment. I told her, how long is it going to take me to get my lease? She said, it'll take a week. Okay, no problem. That week turned into two weeks. Two weeks turned into a month. A month turned in to three months. And I'm calling this lady back and forth, and I'm texting her back and forth to the point I had to turn them into the Better Business Bureau. To the point I wrote two or three letters. And the last. Last time I wrote my letter, I told her, I will sue you and own you if you don't give me my money back. Got your money back. Lo and behold, I get a call. Ms. Thurling, you need to come get your. You can come get your money on this date. I said, no. I'm coming to get my money on the date on the letter. She says, Ms. Thurling, we can't do that. Oh, no, you broke your contract. Let me break it down to you. You broke this, this, this, this, this. Do I need to go on? I'm coming to get my money on this day, and I will bring the sheriffs with me. No, no, no, Ms. Thurling, just come and get your money. A week later, I went online to a company called Hot Pads. And I signed my lease in July. And me and my daughter's living in our place as of today. God works in you. So by going through all that, are you just going to let anybody come take your spot from you? Oh, no. Oh, no. My daughter is loving having her own place. My daughter used to be attached to my hip. She would, if we still would have been in a situation that we was in, she would be on that studio floor right now, sleep. Yeah. But I told her, you want to go down to Skid Row Studios? She said, uh-uh. I heard that. I'm like, walking out the door, are you sure? You don't want to go down to, you can talk tonight. She said, uh-uh. Exactly. And at home being a teenager. Yep. So you hear that, Malik? So she went through a lot. I think it turned out about almost a year before all that stuff went down, right? Almost eight months? Yeah. The whole process before I got my money back from them was about eight months. Wow. Yeah. You got to take a deep breath, suck it in, and get busy. Don't worry about it. Oh, no. I was ready to call the sheriff because I was ready to go beat some ass. Well, I'm talking about that. You don't have money. You have my money. You supposed to render me a service. And I'm like, I'm not one of these fools that don't read my contract. I know what the contracts stipulate. And when I started throwing contract back on them and she couldn't talk contract to me, I'm like, you don't even know what's in your own contract. All she knows is just here, just sign. Yeah, just sign. Right. Just sign it and pay your fee. But you got to understand, she's a puppet. No, dear. She was the owner. Oh, my God. Well, she tried to play dumb to the fact. That's all right. She's just trying to hustle and not do business. That's all it was because they have a lot of systems set up like that. Yeah. Well, she had a transitional housing program, too. Oh, yes. They were sick about the transitional housing. That's a big prey on things now. So that's all right. She learned a lesson through Shauna. Yeah. The majority of them, all they do is just be like, okay, this is the contract. Yeah. Okay, just sign it. They don't even really read the contract. Just sign here and here. Well, you would think the owner would know what she did. Well, let me go back to what I said. You don't really know how long she's been owning it. Dollar drive. We need $10 million to build some, to get some property for the homeless. How much do you mean, $100 million? Shauna, you're a real estate person, right? Me? I think it's $100 million we need. How long is it going to take for us to get it, D? I don't know. It's going to take us a long time to get it. They're going to put that towards a football stadium. Yeah. The homeless people get their own money. They're going to get their own money. But you got to imagine, if everybody home is dead, just chip in $1. Come on, now. Yeah. Chip in just $1. Every day. Not even every day. Right now, if we could collect over the whole United States, I ain't even going to add the world. Oh, yeah. You know. I'm just going to say right here. In the United States of America. In America, where we got our own homeless problems, where we got our own homeless kids, water problem, things like that. That's disrespect to our country to worry about another country first. Well, that's what we do, though. How you worried about somebody in Somalia you ain't going to never see. Oh, if you send me $0.25 a day, right now, you can feed little Kimmy and his family. And we'll send you a picture of him, too. And yes, we'll send you a picture and you'll get a letter up. And we'll send you an update. And we'll give you a letter from him. Come on, now. I mean, like you just said, every homeless person, you know, fell on a different type of situation. Some people want to work. Yeah. You know, instead of giving them a sandwich, let them cut your lawn or something. You know, come up there and clean out the attic. You know. Yeah. You know, give them something else to do. Come on. Something constructive. Come on. Yeah, we know poverty is everywhere. Poverty is everywhere. Poverty is everywhere. Yeah. But, you know what I'm saying? Right now, the major focus should be poverty in the United States of America. You know, we can't even classify ourselves as a high class, a middle class, and a low class. It's only the high and the lows. You know, in poverty, you know, we are being abused. You know, we all are being abused. We basically just numbers for the headcount, you know what I'm saying, for benefit. You know, without the due respect, you know. Because without... Without the lower class, it wouldn't be a high class. Right. You know. You know. The abuse, you know. And that's something that we all have. In poverty, we endure abuse. You know, we're abused by the system. We're abused by the paperwork. We're abused by each other. You know what? Abuse. You can go into Persia Square. We abuse ourselves. Yeah. You can go into Persia Square and look at the big belly, like garbage can. In Persia Square, like... Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's almost like throw trash from one to the other. It's like about 20 garbage cans. Hold on. Get it right. It's the new trash cans. What they're called now, trash units, not cans. Units. Units. Units. Okay. Well, them little nice belly busts. I don't know what they call them. Because, you know, they all... I don't know what it is. Like, recycle. So, I said, you know, we ain't got no trash cans at Gladys Park. They say they refuse to bring it down there because the homeless people might hurt themselves. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Yeah. I said, like, there ain't no homeless people at Persian Square. Right. I mean. You got to look at the different color of homeless. You got to listen. You got to look at that. The different color of the homeless. Okay. Okay. That's like up there on Persian Square right now. If you go out there right now, as a matter of fact, look at the age range. It's not the old people that's homeless now. It's our youth that's homeless. Yeah. And they think it's cool. Yeah. They think it's cool to run around with a backpack and don't have no place to go. Yeah. They think it's cool. And it's not. Well, they're covering that system, too. You know, the foster system. Oh, yeah. Yes, because the system is set up to where if I take. That's another story in itself. If I take your kids. You got to go, fool. You can't be hanging around here. If I take your kids. If I take your kids from you. I'm going to put a lot of weight on our technicality. But there's no book that says how kids should be raised. So, but if I take your kids from you, you're going to damn near kill yourself to get them back. Or you're going to be mentally messed up after we done took through every loop, turn, jump. Every door you done open, we're going to find a way to try to close it or make the next one harder. When they come back to, you know what I'm saying, that key word, abuse. No, that's slavery. That's legal slavery. Come on and adopt them by me. Yeah. Yeah, legal slavery. Let me abuse you in programming your mind, abusing yourself. Yeah, but see, a lot of people don't know that when they're kids are giving up to it for adoption. That's just like a slave master. We're going to go look at the babies today, honey. Yeah. We're going to pick up the litter. We're going to do that. That's like breeding dogs. They're going to have some good organs real soon. And then when they, you have to explain. I might need a kidney. Yeah. You have to explain that I'm brown. But that's another thing about that. too about the homeless. You know me, like they, they help. Now, you know, I know, I know we were talking about some crazy stuff, but like Dr. Frankenstein, because a lot of people health problem, you know, the homeless people, they all within the health system. Right. Now, you know, them doctors need somebody to be doing some research on. That's the one that wants to stay dumped back on downtown. Cut this bull up. The research bodies. Yeah. And then if you look at it, if you read the paper, they have research on who does methamphetamine, who does cocaine. Yeah. Who smokes marijuana. The craziest research. We're going to take and pay you and give you these drugs to see what the effect it is to you because we are trying to destroy y'all. And they're going to pay you $500. Okay. Now, they're going to pay you that one for like $1,500. $1,500. $1,500. Okay. For cocaine. Yeah. It was a clinical study. Now, they weren't going to give you no cocaine that was cut up. Okay. They're going to give you like a $20 head. $25. $50. Yeah. But they got to see what you say, what the side effects is. I'm saying, they're giving you pure cocaine. If you last, because now they're going to give you one about this big, you know, about the size. Okay. You smoking all that? Put this over here. She's trying to see what's coming in there. Hey, this is mine. Nick, you know your heart going to bust. I said, if you live long enough, I ain't give you $5,000. Indeed. Indeed. $5,000. You ain't going to know what they're doing. Your mind going on your heart, but, and then look, the $5,000 they give, they got the dope man standing right there at the corner. Hey, you got 50s. Yeah. Going to say, abuse yourself. Yeah. They're going to program you to abuse yourself. Yeah. We're going to teach you not to love yourself. Right. And we fall into that sometimes. Right. Where we don't love ourself, you know, and you have to like bow down to God and be like, oh, what's going on? God be like, man, you don't even, you don't even love yourself. How you hollering at me? Start loving yourself. Then me and you will talk. You know, you know what you're doing wrong for this to be going wrong. Yeah. You know, everybody knows sometimes that's like karma and things like that. Fade. Everything happens. Yeah. For a reason in your life. Yeah, it does. And either you're going to grow stronger or you're just going to lay down. They'll take you out. And right now, it's like they working at us. I, I, I, I, people of color so hard. They coming at us every way we can. Huh? When you want clothes and we're like all the young rappers, Versace, Versace, Versace. Yeah. I'm getting some money and I'm Illuminati. Huh? Huh? Yeah. What are you doing right there? You are broadcasting that I support the Illuminati. Yeah. But you got these dumb people that think these things is not real. Yeah. Yeah. It's been, it's been a battle over this. It's been a battle over this whole thing for this, for, since the beginning of time. Mm-hmm. You got commercials that make you, distract you from that stuff. You got ball games, everything. You know. Come on. You know. And I. Accept, adapt, and adjust. One thing, one thing in, in ancient, you know, they call it Aruba culture, you know, because we talk about spiritual thing. They said that everybody's, you know, from a spiritual point, when they was with God, they asked God to come into the world because they were going to do something. You know, they were set by God, said, you know, I'm going to go down there and this is what I want to do. But the transition from the spiritual world to the material world, people forget why they're here because God gave everybody a gift. Right. And he didn't give you to be the crackhead, you know what I'm saying, I'm going to be, I mean, you know, everybody's cool. One sin ain't worse than no other. Right on. But he didn't give you that gift that I'm going to be the alcoholic because I have some parts that I'm going to be alcoholic when I get big. And, you know, you know, he gave you a gift. That's why I always say people be cheating us because you might have to get the gift to cure AIDS. And you know, they're cheating me. I don't know because right now I'm back in college and I went off the other day. Dude showed me a picture of white Jesus and I, hold on, wait a minute. Can you show me in the Bible where Jesus was white? He said, but I said, in a conversation. In a conversation. Yeah. And, I don't even worship Jesus because Jesus was what? Nimrod, Nebuchadnezzar, what, the king that ran back then? Mm-hmm. See, we've been taught to deceive since the beginning of time. Right. That's just like a lot of people don't want to accept or wake up to it because things have been changed. We, if I can get you to do this, to do this, to do this, what you say? Accept, do what? Accept, adapt, and adjust. Well, all your programs. You can get a t-shirt made. And that's what, and that's what they have did with us. People do, people do think they're free though. That's what they did with us. Yeah, they did. They made us accept, adapt, and adjust to their system, to their liking. And every day, we accept and adapt and adjust into radio programming, television programming, all news media. And music. Hmm. Yeah. But see, know what they, know what everybody, this is what, this is what a lot of people don't feel. This is what a lot of people don't feel. This is what a lot of people don't feel. Don't forget, we as people of color, we set the standards for America, the United States, the world. Yes. Because I remember when sagging your pants wasn't cool. Now look at it. Hold on. Here goes the biggest word. Nigga. Yes, I said it on the internet. You said it? Yes, I did. Now everybody wants to be what? A nigga. My nigga. And what are we doing? We fight, we fought for this word. We fought for this word. We fought for this word. We did whatever for this word. So if somebody else want to step up under us people of color, let's step back and let them have the word. Nigga. Yes, let them have it. Let them have it and let us move forward as a race. I like that. Of course. Right on. And I think we got Ms. Michael Jackson in the house. Is Ms. Michael Jackson in the house? Is she in the house? Oh, and she's in the house. Right, right, right. I'll get my seat up here. Yes. That bean in the house. Here you go. Okay. Oh, okay. Yeah. So we're going to um, in a minute. Hey, the song is on, but you got to put the headphones on to hear it. If you open that door, she hear it. Gonna make a change for once in my life. Let me see something. It's gonna feel real good. Gonna make a difference. Gonna make it right. As I turn up the collarboard. My favorite winter coat. This wind is blowing my mind. I see the kids in the street. They're not enough to eat. Who am I to be blind? Pretending not to see them eat. I saw us disregard a broken bottle top. And what meant so? They follow each other on the windmill. No. Cause they got nowhere to go. That's why no one got to know.

To make me feel better. And no messes could have been any clever. If they wanna make the world a better place. Take a look at yourself. Then make a change. Na na na na na na na na na na. Uh huh. I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love. It's time that I realize. There's a window. Not a liquid to love. Could it be? Could it be? Pretending that they're not alone. Oh well, oh deep is God. Somebody's broken heart. And a washed out dream. And a washed out dream. They follow the pattern of the windmill. They follow the pattern of the windmill. They follow the pattern of the windmill. Cause they got no place to be. Cause they got no place to be. That's why I'm starting with me. I'm starting with me. I'm starting with the man in the mirror. I'm asking him to change his ways. And no messes could have been any clever. If you wanna make the world a better place. Take a look at yourself. Then make a change. I'm starting with the man in the mirror. I'm asking him to change his ways. And no messes could have been any clever. If you wanna make the world a better place. Take a look at yourself. Then make a change.
