People just gotta wake up, man, because this is real life. This ain't no prison, ain't no movie. Prison ain't no rap song. It's your real life, man. You just gotta capitalize. You motivate me because I started my hood hierarchy podcast with my homie Snap G and we gained momentum and I had to tell him sometimes, like, man, don't worry about the numbers and stuff right now. You just gotta keep working. At first, I started to be obsessing over it, you know what I'm saying? I look at it like I want to make sure each week I get more views and all that stuff, and I just pop them out, bro, and it's all we're all living in God's world, bro, like whatever's gonna happen in 12-24 hours now is already gonna happen, bro. We're just pieces that are going along with it, you know I'm saying?
