not that we cold-hearted but we know it's only a matter of time before we go back to jail so I can't even love my children like I want to I can't get close to my wife because when I go to jail I don't

time oh hey man you know this I was supposed to come back but I had lost I lost in court in Florida so that was six months and then Illinois had a warrant for me so when I had to go that it was crazy the day I was supposed to get out they was like you've been served they served and then when you were supposed to get out then they would like lay back over into another bid yeah and so I went and served the third or three months in uh Chicago oh damn man so you ain't leaving nowhere from here though right no sir okay there it is but but you know it's a trip man like I don't know Kevin if it's your presence or your energy but it felt like I've been I've seen you always sat down before like no it hasn't been out you saw each other remember we see each other in the mall yeah all the time after that we saw each other in the um we saw I saw you at snoops yeah and yeah but we saw each other at snooze but then we bumped into each other again and uh the mall in Woodland Hills man I'm just gonna start carrying a little something in the Foot Locker man you sure didn't buy me no shoes that day remember and you was like man Kevin bro oh no I told you I said I'd like to see you by yourself you like I like to see you by yourself hey man and that's you know and I walk of course you the same I walk with God bro I'm good I I walk I walk solo man and any man could try to put their hands on you that I'm not I'm not stupid I know that things can happen but I don't I don't also put out that kind of energy just the energy they need that power energy protect us yeah and anybody that feel like they have to walk with someone more power to you you know what I'm saying but I like I've been walking by myself my entire life you know and I got people it's my you know brothers sisters things but I've been walking by myself if I if I had someone with me all the time then when I'm by myself I wouldn't feel comfortable I don't I like I'm I I'm more of a a loner it's not that I'm not friendly I'm just I have more fun and enjoy myself yeah when I'm by myself that's what I say I like me now and I say I like me you know what I'm saying do you love the Kevin Gates that sits in front of us now and at one point more and more as opposed yep can I ask you a question yes you can does it look like it yes it does but I want you to tell me about what that is um this is the first time I could say I've been proud of myself a lot of my results came from uh beating myself up being hard on myself and I guess that was you know that was a way of like um dealing and working through like a traumatic past and I just got to the point where I'm able to laugh at myself like I was trying to stand like they got this little AB wheel that I be working in fact the one with the little handles on it and yeah so um I just I'm I'm back able to stand up and do it from a standing position and stand up and then roll down then come all the way all the way back up yeah that's a whole different world you know you do it on your knees but I'm able to stand up I was doing that first but I had kind of ripped one of my ab muscles my body wasn't ready I was doing it prematurely so now I'm to the point where I could do it like standing up and when I was doing it at the gym I had kind of like slipped a little bit and I laughed at myself yeah it felt good to be able to laugh at myself and not be embarrassed and not care about what other people think so for the first time I really been like happy and I've been I've been cautious of what I speak to myself like the lady was like you working on I said no ma'am I'm just in here celebrating what my body could do I heard that it's been a journey amen and when you say it's been a journey and you're happier now like we we look at from the outside in some people but you've always been real about peeling off these layers you know you ain't never came in as a perfect person you know the only rapper that ever I went on Mike Tyson and talked about me and him shared a a story about us both being molested like I'm the only rapper that living a truth ain't nobody living in a truth why did you feel like you you couldn't have that conversation that needed to hear that then they got these other interviews these [ __ ] ass [ __ ] talking about what the [ __ ] I said but you ain't gonna see me and tell me none of that [ __ ] in public you not I'm just in a happy place I still [ __ ] you off yeah don't feel like you can't get a Total Recall so but it's so many men that have been through that kind of [ __ ] and they won all day every day and I made it I made a space in a safe place for men to be able to start healing them yeah masculinity don't have to be toxic it can be sacred you know you can love yourself so much that you could look at a woman and she don't deserve my dick right you could you can love yourself that much like you can hey do you think you could have had that conversation with Mike Tyson five years ago no because I was operating out of fear yeah see I'm gonna tell you the truth see all that gangster [ __ ] I was doing was out of fear I had that fear of being vulnerable like if a man looked me in my ass it's it's a challenge right that me or you that's Fear And now when I look at people in their eyes I see myself for different versions of myself and me being a nurturer if I could Aid in this issue along your journey then cool if I can't think cool just sometime me being able to just give you a look up I understand what you're going through just speaking to somebody could change their day and I know with Tyson man Tyson also always go on record saying before I fought before I got in the ring I was scared and you look at Tyson as the man that's the baddest man on the earth you know what I'm saying ain't nobody getting in with them yeah man same here and do you feel like it was a safe not a safe space but that was the person no also I had I had already started my healing process from going backwards I had to go back to my childhood I had to go back because I don't want to project these things onto my children and my children it's about breaking generational curses for me right now I want to always create a space where my children feel comfortable communicating with me so I went back to heal myself and my inner child for my children I want my children always that's like toxic masculinity if my daughter fall down get up you all right no that's when it's time for me to exhibit femininity like my feminine side and nurture her come on baby it's all right that's when it's time for me to be a nurturer now if you violated him now it's time for me to be a monster it's it takes balance you know what I'm saying that's why when I hear like people talk about this like the feminist movement and this alpha male [ __ ] that's [ __ ] it's like we're not supposed to be competing with each other we supposed to be it's balanced like my woman supposed to balance me out and I'm supposed to balance out it's about balance it's like it's like it's like Mother Earth father sky is like we create life and we we you know I bought the house I worked hard for the house and you put your love into the stitching in the fabric by the way you furnished it and did the interior decorating so when I walk in the bathroom I don't just feel a little I could see that you put your love into this [ __ ] because I don't want to Target and just bought some people amen you know what I tell people a lot too Kevin and you probably seen this especially when you say man when I was out here and I was you know looking a certain way and doing certain things I always say man that sometimes we send a certain representative and do you feel like early on you were sending a representative to do the interviews the lifestyle it was you yes sir because uh I hate to say this I was operating out of a a stanza of the head executioner I was just you know I was fulfilling my title I'm a general so I'm on the front line with all of my sedatos I mean my soldiers I'm I'm a general so I'm always on the front line as a general but as a chief I got to be able to look at each one of my soldiers and see what they need whether it be psychologically whether it be helping them with emotional intelligence to navigate their emotions whether it be to show them how to nurture themselves whether it be to show them how they exhibit their confidence and find that confidence in themselves I got to be able to look at whatever need that it is and it's beautiful that God allowed me to go through all of these things because I'm a greater blessing I embrace the things that happen to me in my past with a sense of positivity I replaced that negative emotion attached to it with a positive emotion and I'm grateful for everything that happened because I'm a greater blessing to the world I mean so much more to the world now don't nobody walk up to no other uh without due respect like no disrespect to these other rappers I swear to God I'm not don't nobody walk up to them and tell them you changed my life and show them slices where they try to kill theyself and commit suicide and say you stopped me from committing suicide I was vulnerable I peeled all the layers back I let you feel a bullet hole in my head and told you I put it there I'm the one who said that I disconnected my Instagram in 2020 and tried to take my own life I'm the one who said these things so other people understand it's okay to feel like this but this is the way that I I changed it around I take all of that negative emotion and energy and I put it and I turn my pain in the passion I put it into something that better serves me and Humanity with with people looking and thinking that they want it all you know when when you have accolades when you have the album you know and I'm talking about from the outside people thinking that they want it then you say you know what I put a bullet in my head I'm the one that wanted to kill myself I'm the one who you know got off of social media and I'm pretty sure that you know you boxing with Dean you were boxing with demons all the time to this day we probably it's a difference if you've not you've never been in the streets yeah I've been in the streets my whole life see I don't have that story like well I was never not thugging when was I ever not thugging from anybody that know me when was I ever not thugging you look at the Kevin Gates now this is a blessing this is beautiful to see me right here like this did you know you're going to arrive here I was afraid to right I I knew every every man know did you know you were not satisfied yes sir that's what gave me my drive right now because when I look in the mirror and I think back in retrospect and I always wonder I would hate to suffer with the regret of what if I only would have tried yeah I never it hurt me when I remember being in prison watching all them different artists on TV winning Grammys and whatever it is they win I was like you knowing your soul that's supposed to be that's why I love when Inca Johnson say that we live by this we die by this we don't surrender we don't retreat every man must search his own soul I listen to that quote every morning and you knew not taking theirs but you knew that I you know yeah I'm supposed to beat up but I am no right because everything I do is emulated so I am new I was chasing something that I already have you know and me standing on the side of certain people if it's not authentic you know the authenticity always is going to rule the law of limited states that whenever two opposing forces cannot come to an agreement the Lesser always rules the greater and you know I come as I am do you feel like I am as I come this is always more amen do you feel like in and not just in the genre but also just in the the men that we are that we now you hear people talking about mental health vulnerability peeling off the onion and the layers you have those conversations first yes years ago yes we did bro and and it's crazy man because I've always I never I never thought of you as like Kevin Gates the rapper like we've had some real conversations bro and and when you embrace you Embrace different you know what I'm saying you don't it's not and I take everything I see you yeah because I see myself in the picture see most people don't know who they are so they can't see themselves and other people I I see you every time I look you in your eyes I see you because I know who I am I see myself hey man can you look and and I know this may sound crazy and people gonna have a field I can but can you look at somebody and know when they're not yeah every time because I used to do that others uncomfortable I used to be that too right I used to be running for myself I used to be too hard for myself I was caught up in ego the the false ego the competitive nature yeah man but I had to I had to I had to kill my ego is that hard to do though it's not hard is it scary too comfortable it's very obscure yes it's very scary and my ego is a beautiful thing because it got me to this point thank you for getting me to this point but I don't need you anymore but it's tricky because the ego really only that'll keep us safe it's only that'll keep us safe but it's tricky because it creeped back here yeah so quick you know what I'm saying and it's an instant recall too bro it it takes a lot to humble yourself it takes a lot to be vulnerable it takes a lot to know how to go through these emotions you know what I'm saying like like the man that can talk like this that's crazy with that you said that yeah uh my Sensei I'm pretty sure it's easier to knock somebody in the face my Sensei said it's more it takes more courage to exhibit vulnerability yes than it does to be a tough guy hey man I would see people bro and I would see them talking up a game and I'd be like he's scared you know when I see somebody [ __ ] what I'm like he's scaring me talking yeah he's scared you know what I'm saying hey it's about energy yeah that's why I don't play these internet games yeah man so when you when you see yourself do you see yourself Kevin Gates going through this transformation did I see myself yeah like like while you're doing it like I didn't see myself going through the transformation but I uh I used to get glimpses yeah and whenever somebody would tell me you gonna be such a great motivational speaker no I'm [ __ ] not right [ __ ] you fight it then I'd have had other people be subliminal like one of my good friends and he I asked I I didn't ask him about it but I kind of hinted around it jokingly because he was on again old preaching ass [ __ ] and I was like and I was just flat I said yeah big brother you know you know you'll be feeling like I'll be preaching bro so I just don't be nah I wouldn't meaning it but you was hit so you hollered and I you was hit so you hollered because you was hit you was hit you knew I had you knew I hit you when I said that so you backed about it and I was just joking I say nah Big Brother you know you'd be saying I'd be preaching and all that [ __ ] she was like man yeah she was hit because you don't know you know you know that I know you know what's up with me yeah and I love you but you know what's up with me hey man and I would think that you would be one of the people that would be extremely proud of cause you know amen I tell people bro if there was a package but it kind of hurt it kind of hurt me but then I was like the heart got a break so it could fill up with love and then it was a beautiful thing that he exposed himself in the amount of because it was like you afraid of my growth yeah my growth and my change is scared of you yeah and you know what they say whatever it is misery whatever that blank blank blank loves company whatever you put in there it loves company happiness loves company misery loves company so if you're changing and you're God not changing with you anyone wants you to be with them because they love that company bro you know come on man I wasn't tripping on my I wasn't tripping on my partner man you can't you can't even gonna worry about yourself stop playing right you live in fear you operate out of fear do you feel like you find people it's hard to have a conversation with you because how real it can be a man is scary yeah that's the scariest thing you could be as a man and it's also when someone feels like you know them you figured them out it ain't that big brother just when you talk with people you expose them by just you being yourself it costs zero dollars it costs zero to keep it real I don't have no Phantoms I don't have no Bentleys I don't have none of that [ __ ] did you have it yeah yeah but you had to have it though not had to but you had it to realize my favorite truck is my F-250 I got a super duty F250 that's my favorite truck me and my brother just went whoever watching this dog killed me don't kill me I'm not going against Ford oh but I did go get the uh TRX and what's the TRX that's that Dodge uh me and my brother went got magic we were we went and got the trx's hey man but when you say you did have that and and maybe there was times when you popped off with even more jewelry art did you feel like you but not this when you met me you never saw me wear jewelry talk to me I only wear jewelry that's because my brother was still alive my brother died and I only wear diamonds because Mazzy he loved jewelry I can't wear this [ __ ] when I go hunting I'm a country boy I like hunting and fishing I will go in the woods right now it's a different energy when you out there the animals don't come in that [ __ ] talking to you they know what's up are you not and either I could tell if you hunt you're gonna have a different type of patience because you stalk yeah like like nature give you a different type of patience do you see other people and not putting anybody out there broad stroke do you see other people's mistakes on how they walk how they talk how they conduct yeah but I don't judge because I don't judge nobody because I used to be all that lame ass [ __ ] it ain't I ain't gonna call it lame I just call it a a period for growth right and when you say you had certain things man I used to be with that [ __ ] that like oh I used to were you trying to find things to make me either happy or make you look a certain way yeah I gotta have this no it was I needed pacifiers and when you come from poverty you come from the streets it's competitive like it's always about the [ __ ] who have emotion and for those of y'all that don't know what motion mean that's like you having your way you having something going on you financially well off so to say so you have emotion you got something going on so I always wanted to look like I was having emotional I have some motion and navy was a point where it was like you you know you fake it till you make it and then it was a point where it was like you know what man let's just be clean yeah was it tiring exhausting yeah the most exhausting part for me was um making comparisons that's what caused my depression like to others or to other things to others like I look at social media and see how everybody's life going great everybody's slapping them on their ass and half having them and they doing [ __ ] that ain't even raw for real yeah but when I do it [ __ ] don't say nothing y'all just wait three months later and just do what I did and everybody oh man that [ __ ] so wrong [ __ ] [ __ ] right but at the same time you know I had to get out of that mindset you know and say Hey Kevin you tripping like you've tripping like I got off Instagram and it went back in the streets don't nobody get the kind of love I get in the streets I go everywhere people really love me they had a lady a 70 year old I think she was 60 something a white lady she's like I know you so I always make a joke I was like uh Kevin Hart she's like no I say yeah I know I'm a YouTuber she was like no you're not you're a tick tocker you're that you're that dick all in your stomach I said what the [ __ ] it's an old lady oh man hey man and for one there's just some some things to Kev that just go viral you know what I'm saying but for her to know that you bet that was you man it was then when the lady told me and I was like what the [ __ ] hey man what you if I'd have been with 50 people I wouldn't have had that beautiful moment right I was by myself just doing normal put some dick in her stomach for her okay no I do I've done charity work but you don't even look at it but see you know what was so crazy about that interview that's the only part you put on there but it was so beautiful because like the internet made it like this derogative y'all gonna tear me down many people went on that interview and really seen what I was saying it was so beautiful you talking about the click bait stuff yeah they do the click bait stuff for clout but when you went looked at the interview it was so beautiful it was spiritual it was beautiful HCG where a lot of bodybuilders taking shooting their stomach it's pregnant women's urine so [ __ ] you take it too [ __ ] damn so I don't care what nobody say like that's like I had a conversation about the wet nurses melanated people who could be in the sun they receive energy from the Sun the the fastest recovery is breast milk on the on they got people that buy melanated women's breast milk they bad yeah because it's just like they got athletes that sleep in the pure oxygen Chambers for pure oxygen they got athletes they won't tell you this they drink breast milk recovered a human being is not supposed to drink cause milk I haven't been on social media since uh July of 2022 right but um but I'm weird but let me tell you I didn't see the interview so of course you get bits and pieces of people saying certain things you know what I'm saying and dude like I do have to ask you about you did you drink urine am I missing something no you're not missing nothing whatever you saw no because you look good now whatever you saw on the internet that's what it was I didn't but because I don't even feel like getting off into the conversation because it was just like like when I say something people like to take it all the way out of context all the way around the corner but everything I say I beg is scientifically and then nice like you know they did it to tell me down in the in the uh in the click bait but then they went to the interviewer like yeah dude dude know his [ __ ] dude know his [ __ ] man I'm gonna have to watch the entire interview because I don't know my [ __ ] I didn't know to like really this this morning and anybody else anybody else like you know you got [ __ ] ass [ __ ] that you know do God knows what behind closed doors and you won't judge me [ __ ] you won't speak on me you ain't even gonna come out here right but you won't speak on me but I say you know what Kevin [ __ ] that [ __ ] we're gonna have a beautiful day as you should bro yeah well I don't know if we're going out for a glass or something afterwards but whatever it is you doing brother it wasn't like that it wasn't like that yeah it wasn't even nothing like that oh this come from faster all of this come from fasting what you see how often do you fact or do you Fast Cleanse do you fast like what what is that fasting because I I just came off of a good all raw food all raw vegetable all Raw it's not fast yeah but I'm talking about a cleanse nothing yeah I'm talking about a cleanse what did what did or what do you do fasting is when you don't put nothing in your body fasting is nothing water for how long do that if you want to do that could be considered faster yeah but a dry fast is when you don't eat or drink how long you drive fast it depends can you do you can't do a week of dry fast you do what some days I didn't did the longest I'd have never did Drive fasting was like close to a month about three weeks no food no water come on how do you okay how do you okay yeah talk to me when your cell breaks in half it releases hydrogen what do we breathe in oxygen hydrogen to oxygen is what water we create our own water man I'm gonna I'm gonna take your word for it because Lord no please don't when I was sales break in half when the body don't have nothing to eat they start eating up all your bad sales when your sales break it releases hydrogen we breathe in oxygen the chemical compound for water is hydrogen to oxygen I'm really a genius but I just don't be trying to just broadcast that to the world because everybody you know like like they'd be like man he just use a bunch of big words now you just a stupid ass [ __ ] ass [ __ ] cause a smart person could be dumb but a dumb person can't be smart so [ __ ] you and if you don't like me I don't care I mean because you know at the end of the day I still got a big dick yeah [ __ ] you damn when you fast please man hold on oh yeah all right now I'm just saying oh no I just me and him talk like this all the time he might just be doing this because you hear something you know what I'm saying when when you fast uh like when you first started fasting did you find that each time it like got easier like if someone like her sees this right now practice makes you better not perfect and were there any Hard Times where you just like I I wanted to I always want to give up but that's where we pray that's when you tap into something spiritual that's when you ask the Creator to give you this strength to continue this fast when everybody coming around you talking about man you ain't told nobody you fasting but everybody yeah you hungry you want to eat something that's when you understand this shit's spiritual it's not just physical yeah so I like I mean do you get the compliments too though before when you don't even say anything and say man look at things change yeah look at me look at me I look like a different person Kim what was your biggest as far as weight 310 310 but people say I want to show you something give me your hand right quick you're just squeezed right

more because it's a journey it ain't never no ending process starting to get more and more in tune with myself I ain't gonna lie the bee's been coming and when I say the bees that's like the things I attract now like I was on wrestling like aw I ain't gonna chase that it just happened right like it just it was in alignment like it's some other things I would be on you know that's just in alignment right now and it's a lot of things that I turned on it just it just my energy just wasn't in alignment with it it could have been lucrative in nature financially lucrative but it just was like my energy it wasn't worth my energy because my energy more important to me and I noticed when I protect my energy and put it where it's aligned better things come so a lot of things just be tests like the universe tissue with things like like what that [ __ ] say I lost a bag it got a bigger bag I lost a friend that got a real a friend hmm thought I lost a plug he was really just a middleman something be said on there amen and I want to share this with you as well bro somebody said that to me on my teammates amen like I've been I've been in radio for years right and you know there's certain things that you love you do this but I went to this spot and last July right yeah and I had a chance to peel off so many layers too Kev like I mean even when I thought I didn't have daddy issues you know what I'm saying like nah [ __ ] my dad this that and the other he wasn't there but and I wasn't angry I thought it didn't affect me you know what I'm saying until I started to do this other work and really peeling off layers and I always had a conversation I could talk to people but peeling off layers bro and realizing like yeah you did have daddy issues you didn't have and there was a lot of things that I learned and I'm I'm always going to be under construction you're always going to be under control that's what people is Young yeah we on the age due to stress we stress ourselves out with [ __ ] we stress how it says our [ __ ] you get a cut on your hand in here yeah we own it like and when you don't pay attention to it it's healing anyway that's what I learned like when I stopped eating and putting all that my body ain't have to attack all that food it could heal me emotionally it's emotions attached to just the food in US these emotions they Harbor themselves and I was stumbling in our hips I never knew about emotional detoxing when I started doing yoga I had gotten a pose called a pigeon pose and I just started crying uncontrollably my yoga instructor was she put her hands on my back she was like the emotions that you were feeling right now are not your own that psychic debris you have an emotional she said you're a natural empath so I was like just crying and then when I got up she like how do you feel I said I feel pure she was like yeah you you emotionally detoxing you just had a big release we would never taught how to emotionally detox right and we weren't supposed to we would never taught that [ __ ] that's like if I see somebody playing basketball with their daddy man [ __ ] that [ __ ] ass [ __ ] yeah but I wanted that what the [ __ ] ain't nothing wrong with feeling like do you parent different because you didn't have certain things yup yeah yeah like with me okay when they were talking about anybody that know me my homeboy Jose we've been partners for decades I I thought I wasn't tripping man I ain't tripping off of that and I wasn't I wasn't careful I was like my mom was amazing I wasn't tripping but then when I started doing his work I was like I get it now like my father wasn't there so I father different no I had to teach my son how to piss oh mother I had uh Mother's not wrong right and the way that they raise us but we end up having a lot of resentment like me and my mother we just we just like started back talking like maybe not too long ago and I in my concerts like that I tell people if you don't have a good relationship with your mother you should try to fix it because at the end of the day she gave us life all great men came through the womb of a woman I told my mom I said I'm grateful for you and I noticed when I went back and and started my healing journey and I forgave my mama for a lot of the stuff because you got to realize she didn't know she just was doing the best you could do she was a kid and she loved me and she was trying to protect us but once we get in the world and see man this [ __ ] ain't nothing like how this [ __ ] try to tell me this [ __ ] was [ __ ] you tripping you know you had his resentment towards your mama like Tupac say uh the same drama when things were wrong we blame mama and your mama do the best they can to protect you you know what I'm saying and see on my end my mind was everything and most and most of the time it could kind of be a false sense of self because they love us so much and they practical in nature which a man gonna tell you hey [ __ ] is trying to take the training wheels off dick get out there let's get it like I had a grandfather so I had I still had a strong man in my life that come on let's get it yeah let's get back around now you know let's get when I say to you parent different explain that to me um I noticed that it's not about the material thing because I buy my children every toy they want but they still play with cardboard boxes and make forts they make forces they say make forts out of the cardboard boxes then I noticed um my son had a problem one time I ain't gonna say what we was it but he had a problem and he had a little problem with this situation with another kid I say look May tomorrow I'm coming in there we go we we coming in that [ __ ] with you I say don't do him nothing but if he do that again punch him dead in his nose and if his parents get involved we gonna follow up so just him knowing me showing up for him his dad is showing up for him man he had a beautiful day that day but it was beautiful for him to know he got somebody that's gonna show up for him like I taught him at school man if some hey if somebody say something to you don't worry about that if somebody put their hands on you man make sure you [ __ ] them all the way off hey man hey imma come to school and I'm gonna I'm gonna fuss at you in front of all the teachers then I'm gonna take you and buy you every toy you want right right yeah yeah you know you know hey we hard but no cow was in this household hey man my mom used to tell us it was seven of us kids right she said if anybody touch y'all they Gotta Die seven times let's go my mom was the most loving lady let's go but you don't [ __ ] with family I know you know what I'm saying no calls you get hard but no calls yeah man how'd that coaching uh Texas say you tell me bro hey what that coach say yeah we I don't I don't raise no [ __ ] right I don't raise no [ __ ] I love what he said amen dude you with the parent that you are also man I always tell people whatever you're doing if his If His Radio if it's just whatever man being a parent Louie's about to have his first that's the hardest so-called job you ever had there's no clocking out Natalia I love to yeah I want more children yeah I love it I'll this time this time it's gonna be a lot different it's gonna be way different so you know do you know you're gonna have more yes I heard that maybe like four or five damn you're gonna have more children I'm only getting younger I'm gonna have more children explain I'm only getting younger what that feels like why why do you say that because I am you know it I'm aging back you feel it everybody can see it I know it was either yeah I'm aging we're in the hallway he was like look at me crazy five years ago you probably wouldn't say look at me it's God yeah there's not nothing else it's God but I'm gonna have more children but this time I'm gonna be in the water when the uh when we had a natural birth I'm gonna be in the water when the baby come out none of my children open their eyes till they heard my voice because I was prison with the mama the whole time they was pregnant so they knew the voice of their father anyway babies know they they learn so much in the womb also so that then um it's just gonna be different like I provided a space for my children to grow and be themselves it's just gonna be different I'm gonna have about four or five more maybe six well I got to be uncle because I know I'm not having anything that's a that's a that's a blessing to have children like I loved it amen now when you when you see Kevin Gates man and there's so many and you know I know you don't mess with social media but there's so many outside entities and I do ask quite a few times man how do you keep that chatter all that clutter that goes on with this so-called business how do you keep that away from you um my manager right here present with us and he'll tell you like most people say I'm the hardest person to work with but I'm really not I'm a simpleton I'm simple my phone's going airplane mode at like 8 P.M because the people think I'm weird but the transmission is still transmitting radiation this disrupts your melatonin Cycles it it disrupts that you're not getting a good night's sleep with the phone in the room I understand people talking about binary beats and all that [ __ ] that's just hypnosis the most beautiful thing you can listen to is your own breath put you some earplugs in your breath your breath is the most beautiful thing you could listen to in your own heartbeat that's the most beautiful thing you can listen to now you might be having thoughts and be detoxing because you know we psychologically detox at night we decompress you know you jump and twitch and your body move that's just and you just releasing energy it's just boggled up energy see I do a lot of yoga so I move that energy around that energy got to be moved around in the battery so once you know what's going on you don't need nothing to suppress it like a drug or this or that man everything we need is already in us then I go to the gym like I get up like three or four I take me a cold shower because I I like the way it charged me that's like my coffee mom ready to go I'm in the gym when I'm in the gym before the doors open like when I say before the doors open but if it's five like if it's four like 40 they're usually kind of opening to let me in what time do you put your body down uh probably about eight it just seemed like I gotta take a warm bath or a warm shower then I can go straight to sleep is it crazy how much attention you paid to yourself now I did a lot of time right so that's the advice I got I did a lot of time I've been doing times I was 13 so that's the advantage I got I always been in tune with myself so I know I know if I drink Carl's milk which I grew up drinking cow's milk I loved it but it always it make me real mucousy I have phlegm in my throat and then it's so crazy it's like since I've been back on the farm I noticed that when you go to like Tractor Supply none of your animals can drink cow's milk they drink goat's milk no animal could drink cow's milk or they had to kill them yeah that now if you go like the Mexico or Puerto Rico or like uh I've been I've been I've been all through South America I'd say if you go to them places they don't have the hormones that we have that we have in our closet that milk don't make me sick you know what I'm saying that milk don't do nothing to me but it's over here when I get it out of the grocery store it just it makes me real mucousy there it is man we got more with Kevin Gates in the neighborhood man we'll call it a part two part two with our our good friend big interview Kevin Gates in the
