Grown folks. Only thing we have been accountable for is count time, child call, pill call, wreck call. So embed that. I'll tell you, let that burn inside of you to where you can't even stand it. I'm telling you, man, look, I hope that it happens to where you almost want to puke. I hope the way you can't even eat to where now you got to now come to a realization that I can't do it. I need help to where you even fall down. To where you have to fall down. I want you to fall down. I want you to fall down. Give up this fight that you've been fighting, man. Some days you don't's not going to be good some days it's going to suck some days you don't want to get up some days it's going to be rough it's supposed to be that way because it's supposed to that's why it says iron sharpens iron that lets you know if you're iron or if you're cotton or if you're piece of plastic but if you're that iron as strong as we are, fighting against the law, you have to match it with that same tenacity. Because if you don't, it's going to overlap it. I can prove it because many people that I knew that came home and went right back. Look, the time that I was in, I seen people go home, come back, go home, come back, go home. Yeah, how many people you seen go home and come back? Yeah, how many people you seen go home and come back? Hit the weight pile, you know, go out, wife just wreck them, and then they get back like, God, dog, bro. But that's basically what, yeah, that's about it. You know, back in the day, let me tell you what they called it, right? And then get their clothes back to them. Today, the way we say this thing is, it's all about love. This brother ain't trying to strip you because he dislike you.
