[Music] [Music] ignition sequence star six five four three two one zero all engine running liftoff we have a liftoff [Music] what's up everybody it's your boy mike rashid lions owls elephants podcast and i have a very special guest by popular request and demand my brother 19 keys man it's a blessing to be here in the mothership man the mothership baby yes sir yes sir how are you feeling my brother i feel great i feel incredible actually man i feel you know uh optimistic you understand me um even with all that's going on right right tell me the roots of your optimism my plans you know i think of it like this people think about the future a lot right and a person be like what you think the future going to be that's the wrong way to think about it the question is what are you going to create the future to be correct otherwise you're trying to figure out somebody else's plan for your time right so for me it's saying that what are my plans right and my plans are very optimistic i don't have bleak plans for my future and even though that there's so many different things that happen and we're almost living in a dystopian future at this particular point you take us back two years ago and this looks like a parallel universe to our world at first right for me it's about all right creating strategies and strategies about having options you understand me if life is a war zone what's your options based on the facts that's just been presented okay well this happened all right let me just plan this is how i gotta move and as long as i have a pla a path that's clear as far as what i want to do and i can understand what i need to execute it actually makes me excited right you understand me it's like studying an opponent and you know some people can get bleak on the outcome that maybe they feel like they can never be disappointed you understand me or they could be uh that they can find some solace in the fact that they know what's gonna happen right right you know yeah because it's the surprise that really hurts the feelings you understand me like damn you thought you was going yeah or you can go in there with the spirit of this nothing go stop me you understand me maybe i feel like my opponent is impervious to you know my skill set and my skill level but i'm gonna find something that's beyond my even my observations you understand me which is my spirit and i think spirit conquers all right yeah now i feel you well i i have uh i share that spirit of optimism as well and i think that i have so much optimism because of you know the course of my life a lot of people will say well mike rashid speaks from his perspective that's the only perspective i have right actual uh history with you know what i mean i can speculate and you know extrapolate but i rather talk from my perspective because a lot of times especially when it comes to young dudes my perspective comes from situations very similar to theirs and they don't even realize a lot a lot of times a lot worse right i i grew up in brooklyn new york during the crime waves the 80s and 90s it was the worst part of new york city's history you know what i'm saying so um i i feel fortunate to have come out of that with some battle scars but in a good way you know what i'm saying it didn't turn me out it didn't it didn't corrupt me you know what i'm saying it allowed me to see how dark humanity is but also i've seen a lot of light you know and i've seen a lot of strength like my mother my mother my mother was in the thick of it all but protected me you know what i'm saying i had a bubble of like protection from all the chaos you know what i mean so you know that that gave me a certain level of uh a self-esteem you know what i'm saying but you know coming from having nothing and and being able to build to a level of of wealth and you know being in a one percent in the most expensive state in this country right people don't realize every american is in the top five percent of the world you know we are very fortunate in this country you know um and i really wish that people who don't have or people going through it really had a bigger broader perspective of how things could be and understood the opportunity at our fingertips you know what i'm saying you know that requires of course it's easier said than done right because you taking accountability time in the history of our country is one thing of as a standard let's say that citizens of america are at the top five percent in the world but you don't want to be at the bottom of that five percent true because then it feels like you at any other place in the world right right the bottom is the bottom regardless right and so i think that that's where people have a bleak outlook on life because they look at so many generations of people who have been at the bottom of that top five right and in reality you know it's multitude of different reasons you understand i mean like we ain't got to list all of the reasons we have been victims in this country and then there's some of us who i believe that were blessed and we're blessed because you were blessed to have this outcome of this mindset right to where given the amount of things you know it pushes you further to create those opportunities to be at that top you understand the upper echelon in society some people they're not built and designed in that manner to where they can take on all the atrocities and be fueled by it right for some people they think about the outlook on how the world is unfair and how unfortunate it is that we grew up in this society and they wish that they had privileges beyond the privileges they have right right you can't change history you understand me i mean you can you can yeah it happens all the time that's a privilege right true but to that point it's like the powerful do control history to where you know some people are grown adults and they don't have knowledge itself they don't have knowledge of time right right it's history and then it's time right and the things that have actually truly occurred in time right and then you have you know the scriptures and the writers and the rulers of the wars are the one who records the story to tell the tale so they always tell it in their image right you understand me because they say god has made what you said yeah what you said is very powerful the fact that the powerful creates history right the powerful creates history powerful people write history right and oftentimes people look at that as just one monolithic group of people that were powerful and that have been carving history but i think that people see some people are realizing their power and our writing history and rewriting history you know what i mean so let's see here's the thing about it though because you can write the story now but and this is like winning battles but whoever wins the war controls the narrative so it's like the question becomes is during those times where we can go back and you know we can say certain parts of history were whitewashed right or even different parts of the world where you know uh genghis khan may have rewrote somebody's history because he won the war right right uh you know cypriot africanus or anybody that decided that no i want to write it in the way i want to because this is part of victory the truth you understand me is it exists in an energy right but you know it's always been said that a lie can be told so much that it becomes a truth right you understand me because people believe it they observe it they live it and we live in a society where more people believe lies than truth right and more people care about what they feel more more than what the reality of it is like if a person wants to discover a truth that goes against belief you understand me creates this dogma where they like nah that cognitive dissonance like no i'd rather go with the things that make me who i am make me feel good you understand me i talk about that i change my absolutes i talk about that a lot man i tell people see i feel like i agree with what you're saying but i feel like it's up to people like us who have access to media right because social media is media absolutely so and i always tell people like yo do not marry your feelings and your beliefs because your beliefs can be false your personal truth is not an objective truth truth is truth and we should accept it as that the bottom line so a lot of these things like i feel like it's important at least on my part to like keep misogynist and the conscience of people who tap into me you know what i'm saying keep letting them know like yo just because you believe that and a lot of things is that their family believed it they're you know i'm saying they're great that's right so it's like just like like black people subscribing to the democratic party you know what i mean and i'm like yo and i did a post one day and i made it very simple you know i'm saying like yo i don't know why we subscribed to that and i started uh pointing out you know empirical facts and reasons why they have been of detriment to us right and nobody i was expecting all the backlash and the hurt feelings but when you lay something out nice and rational and simple and easily digestible they're like damn he's right some people sometimes you get people that are grateful because they've been so miseducated right you understand me uh and then you got people who don't care about the facts right you're not true they just be like well this is what i think now right people supersede logic with emotion right you understand me when it's supposed to be the opposite right right you put supersede the emotion with the logic correct and we live in a backwards society to where people want to feel good rather than actually being truth right now i'm a speaker of truth you're a speaker of truth you know and i'ma always be a speaker of truth because that's what builds a better world truth builds a better world not the lies not deceit even people feel like they protect you with lies you understand me but lies build a house that eventually crumbles right you understand me it has to fall it makes it makes i i got to a point to where you know there was a time we talked about this that i was a fugitive and i had to not necessarily lie to everybody but walk them in a direction of lies whenever they would ask me about like how did you get here it is i couldn't tell them so i had to you know create an aura of of of a life that wasn't mine and when the marshals came and got me i was so relieved i know it sound weird that i'm relieved that they found me but i ain't got the first thing i said to myself i got a lot of nobody no more right and then to be honest it was a process of like really breaking that you know because i seven years of that you know what i'm saying so i got to a point man and just a certain type of personal enlightenment with meditation and things of that nature to where i really started loving myself to an extent that i hadn't before and i loved myself too much to lie to people like i love myself too much to allow that kind of filth to come out of my mouth i love myself too much to do something that i would have to be dishonest about you know what i'm saying and i love myself to only deal with people that i love and i wouldn't lie to them and deceive them because that's a that's a hurtful thing it's a very disrespectful thing to lie to somebody you know when i'm lied to it it drives me crazy wow you know what i mean yeah so you know you're right a lot people i don't i've gotten to the point to where if i have a certain belief i'm never married to it if i hear the truth i'm like okay yeah the goal is to be a true seeker right understand me like to seek truth in all things like when i used to do my research and studying just different ideologies religions philosophies i would always try to find two opposing right parties that disagree with each other and figure out what did they agree on because i can usually utilize that as a truth you understand me like damn these people like were our enemies you understand me but in this particular aspect they agree with each other right understand that just a little shopify money yeah you know you know one thing i was doing last year i found myself like the damn got holes in it trying to plug my finger in the holes right trying to fix and because people were just jumping out the window left and right on their their their misguided political views and things of that nature right and i'm not a politics guy i don't i understand politics so that's why i'm not a politic guy right and you know people were holding on to these beliefs that were just like bro i don't know where you're getting this from so i will find myself in hostile territory often having discourse right and my goal was to like flip people you know i'm saying i have zero desire to preach to the choir or be talking in an echo chamber yeah that's that's not me yeah you know i've gotten to a point now i don't want to debate with you you understand me and i always tell people listen i can't lose a debate because i don't debate you know like you already won when you want to start debating you understand me i'm an educator at the end of the day right if i find it a particular subject like to me debating is a sport right like it's something that you do for fun essentially you understand me and and for the most part because it's not actually arriving to anything impactful it's about who can articulate their perspective the best right and sometimes a person may not even be right but they are good enough to trick up their opponent like socrates right well i mean speaking of socrates there was a class of uh greeks and romans called the sophists and that that's like the root word or sophisticated and back the sophists were just their job was to argue yeah right or wrong that's like where lawyers come from right because look at the law it's just an interpretation of these words yeah who can argue the interpretation of these laws right here you know what i'm saying it's not justice because if it was justice court it wouldn't be no two weeks of two weeks of a trial you know when i was going through my case that's what i studied i was studying socrates i was studying um uh the art of deceit right art of deception right and it's a book that gives you a breakdown right on all of the court jargon and how it goes back to ancient greek philosophers and how they used to utilize you know strategies to win arguments you understand me and what it did was it allowed me to really hear and see what was going on in that courtroom right and once you get into that mindset then you can start getting in the game and strategize as well right because it creates a world of perspective right right in the world that they're creating is for the jury you understand me so we knew that certain things couldn't be said certain language couldn't be done because we had to paint this picture of innocence right and you can paint a picture of guilt on an innocent man an innocent on a guilty man right so no justice is is is about the word you understand me it's it's not about what the truth or the situation is it's not about justice at all it's the legal system blushes is blind right you understand me ladies and gentlemen none of that right so i got a question for you so a lot of people they they've heard you speak you you have a powerful brain you know what i mean appreciate it yes sir likewise what do you thank you what do you do to sharpen your mind to what do you do to to continually grow and develop yourself as a person me i like to study man you know and it's uh in these days you know i've gotten to a particular level of success and it can make a person comfortable right but i always keep myself uncomfortable right you understand me and i'm always studying new fields because if you understand your brain it needs to be stretched and challenged in order to grow you understand me if your brain ain't stressed and challenged then you become dull you can only recite the things you said yesterday or years ago but for me i'm kind of like like kevin samuels yeah yeah no no no now you don't brother name what we're gonna have to get into yeah we're gonna get into that but let's get good just a second what you're saying they just came to my mind because i was thinking one day i was like this is fascinating yeah these guys say the same thing every day and it's interesting yeah you know carry on but see i'm i'm like a scientist dog like the the fields and studies that i'm into right now they're constantly progressing right so i don't even have the luxury of just reciting or regurgitated information you understand me the crypto market the nft market the technology right uh even you know uh if i'm talking about politics or things that's happening in the world it requires me to be up to date right right if i'm talking about health consciousness i got to be up to date on these things which requires me to study because even if you study years ago that information ain't so fresh on your head that you can just give a breakdown on it so that a person can be educated right and the way things are today things change so much it changes marketing for instance in business yeah i feel sorry for people who take marketing in school because by the time you're done and get a job give me a second it's completely different the tactics are different listen school creates some of the worst learners period because it kills your process of creative learning the one thing that i've learned to do better is to become a better teacher right if you tell your student everything then you're robbing them of their ability to go learn it right so it's almost to this point that the more you teach a student the less they they learn how to learn you understand me so they don't have to go through that process of figuring it out figuring things out and that's brain exercise that's strengthening your brain at certain levels i agree with you i do that with my son all the time i'm like uh he wanted to start a a corporation for his his merch company right i said all right do the research on what's necessary right and then i want to know the steps you got to leave blanks correct i'm not going to do it for you yeah we're getting out of that we have too much privilege with technology right now i give my students i give you 10 strategies on something and i intentionally going to leave something out which i know is going to proper question but that question ain't for me is for you to go seek answer and then execute number one once you got to put in some work now you got skin in the game and it's gonna make you want to finish more important to you yeah so i'm telling a young brother the other day it was like yesterday he said keith how do i become that type of person you understand me like who finished what they start like i'll be picking up things i got a lot of stuff going on like give me the secret and i'm saying bro you just got to drop your nuts and be a man about it right and i had to say it in that manner because you got to understand like there's a ability that men have when we can find a wide as logical and we can just keep going towards it right it's not the fact that the emotion of fear or procrastination worry insecurities don't come up but do you have courage do you have confidence right do you have fearlessness that supersede the emotions to get you to your point and if we can get especially young males to understand how to tap in and utilize the full power of their masculine side then they can execute more because you got all this massive like you got to think about it as a power like you're not even tapping into your masculine potential right there are certain things that make us biologically energetically different from women right and you're not even tapping into that aspect of it to execute right it's like it's no reason that any man needs to walk around weak we have the potential to become very strong yeah man i i've had people um in my ecosystem at times that you know would work for me in certain capacities and would walk into my kitchen cowered under i'm like what are you doing what are you you know what i mean this one particular guy i like what do you do what do you think i'm gonna hit you like i'm a maniac like what are you doing i made him take up boxing and my guy at the box and y'all said yo sparm and beat his ass he got to feel that you know what i'm saying that's why i put my son in boxing at a young age my son is a smart clever person yeah he needs to be punched in the face and i know that sounds counterintuitive for a father who loves his child but i love my child so much he needs to fight and feel adversity he needs to yeah i would be doing him a injustice by coddling him yeah that i wouldn't love him as much if i caught him character correct you know so i know how i mean and he's lucky like i had to really fight i don't want him fighting you know what i'm saying i want him to know how to fight and defend himself and protect others you know it's something to that though that you have like just being set out in the neighborhood and whatever happens happens right yeah i'm saying that's a rite of passage but think about this when we were children out and about that's crazy we had no cell phones yeah they couldn't keep tabs on us no emergency contact kids now or we would track them they got phones i mean they can record encounters with the police right you get right by the police first right ain't no recording of that you just got your word man what happened to you all right we turned out all right you know but i feel like it's always something there's some very variables always change but their issues are different yeah it's just different you know number one they got two they got so much exposure to information it's making them sensitive right they got different type of agendas that exist in today's time they have a different perspective on masculinity manhood rights of passages right a multitude of different issues that exist today that are more emotional right uh intellectually complex right a lot of the issues that we dealt with you know growing up in the streets it was very primal you understand me like you do tap into the best sides of being a man to overcome certain things some things they dealing with on social media have nothing to do with manhood whatsoever you got to figure it out as a human right in this new world on how to interact and be good at it yeah so it's like they got a new complexity of issues that they deal with and that's why you have to give them a myriad of experiences so that they can know themselves because knowledge self you have to have experience of self to go through so many situations see like i was talking to my brand new from oakland named haas he knew me since i was a child and we was laughing so much because he like brought you know what we went through is like that won't exist for no other generation in the same capacity right so i can't tell you how to be like me because the amount of experiences and situations that i've been in to where i had to test myself feel myself right and see what i would or wouldn't do is what prepared me and built me to be who i am so the streets and the adversity prepares you to build character to to become this phenomenal human being if you can get on that other side because everybody don't come out you know flowers some people indeed they go through the roughness and you can see everything and they're damaged yeah life one thing you said that's so real what we dealt with was very primal right and i i i take that with pride right because what i'm navigating now in my life now in the business world corporate world and some of these uh uh conversations or board rooms or whatever that i'm dealing with and i feel like my great neutralizer right is the fact that i've tapped into that primal side yeah that none of these guys have yeah young instinct none of these guys have so i always have edge yeah i mean and they know it and they treat me accordingly and it's not like a it's not like an intimidation thing right but it's something there that they're not unfamiliar with that i can recognize that always gives me an advantage it gives me an edge you know what i mean i love it yes you know you'll be you being able to go more in depth inside yourself than any other subject you understand me a person may know more than you about some corporate thing or marketing or branding or you know some documentation or whatever it may be a supply chain but when it comes to the experience you have of self and the more depth that you can go there's no competition there because this person has went deep in themselves and dealt with the darkest places and then came out and become a light right you can't compete with that and you can see that and this person has more experience at life and being a human being period right you understand me so that depth is unfortunate it's synonymous to like our soldiers like a marine you know green beret whatever that sees the worst of humanity as the offer you know what i'm saying i also have brothers at arms that he fought when went to war with you know what i'm saying so you're building a type of brotherhood and bond that is not taught in any institution you know what i'm saying and you're also seeing the type of carnage and filth and and uh uh absence of humanity that most people don't even know exist levels of human nature it's like correct prisons go to prison and they see those levels of humanity that exist you know that's not like everything is experienced in life but some people go through the same mundane experiences over and over and over it doesn't require your brain to create new connections correct doesn't require your spirit to challenge itself to grow because your spirit is that flame that either go be lit or go die out and some things that will kill in one person's spirit allows another person flame to grow so it's like nothing in this room could kill my spirit but there's things inside this room that can be said some things that can happen with a deal that may kill another person's spirit and they realize that they have nothing that can kill you in here right you understand me and when you're dealing with a with a what uh uh uh i'm gonna call it a beast just for a lack of better terms you understand me with god of course you understand me that whom which you know you can't harm and you can't do nothing against you know the things you could do but you still know that's not enough and this pokemon this guy don't fear it he doesn't care you know what i'm saying the fearlessness is probably the most biggest thing about it right right the more fearless i mean because fearlessness is psychotic to a person who has so many fears correct like you walk into so many situations without the thought of feeling like you're going to be harmed and the ability to prevent that harm right because when you're fearless you're living life at his highest level this is i say this all the time i love you said that and i tell people all the time it's of feeling fearlessness it takes i feel like it's the most honorable way to live [Music] because ultimate fear that everyone has is death right yeah and when you don't fear that and you don't fear consequences because your actions are right and exact you're living at your highest frequency that's right you you you're an admirable person just like like 300 the movie 300 historically is garbage but as a movie it's great yeah i love that movie such a honorable story yeah yeah you know what i'm saying i love that when his wife says uh spartan come back with your shield or on it yeah i'm like yeah less you don't say so it's like i love like that and i you know i wish that these movies were more popular in today's society those principles were more popular those principles exactly like but see we we could teach right with entertainment you know what i'm saying yeah because a lot of those principles are no longer coveted anymore right those principles of bravery like you're gonna have some you know uh intellectual these days look at it and find some issue with this right that's toxic or that's that's some philosophical way that they're gonna break it down yeah and really you know a garbage all of those values of being a man right and here's the thing about it right there will exist a generation who will raise up and decide to be men again decide that the rules in the world that they're living in you understand me is unbearable right and those valuables because that energy has to return right you understand me we listen under the laws of people i mean she's not popular me but at the same time it's not popular everywhere but it's popular it's condensed cause you're popular i'm popular right right and other individuals who tap into it are popular lesser versions of it is unpopular i got a question for you do you find like we're in a world of influencers and people on that word but listen if you got 50 000 people following you 10 you're an influencer you influence people in this world of influences do you ever find some people shy away from you you you are for no good reason maybe they are uncomfortable around around that energy yeah first i'm going to start with the word influencer because i like the word influential yeah i mean and it's funny how you can change one word has the stigmata and the other one is still excellent correct you understand me but it's the same exact thing right you understand me but society has a way of castigating it and putting energy on certain words so that it minimizes the impact and how people see themselves it's all the marketing for that you're talking about people who have a magnetism and a power above the rest of society essentially not that it makes you better right but just by the results of the numbers there's people trying to figure out to do what you've done some people are organic some people hack the system right but to be influential gives you a power to control consciousness through attention true so it's important to you know just look at you can change it from influencer to say yes i am an influential human being right and that is already such more of a dignified way of looking at it and when one try to poke at it well i have x amount of people that follow me consume my products and content on the daily so yeah i think i think that would be considered influential yeah i'm very influential thank you you know yeah but to that point um yeah do you find do you do you ever come across people who they try to like they can't share spotlight which they they they try to shine away yeah yeah you know uh and it's unfortunate because the way i look at it is with two different type of lights two different type of frequencies right you only gonna lose when you try to compare right like i would hate to not be me and then trying to compete with me you understand me because it's going to be an impossibility you're going to always find yourself losing that award that you can't win you understand me anytime you think you get in an inch you you also realize like damn the just the very fact i'm comparing myself to somebody that i see as greater i gotta be losing so that exists because also there's the experience you have before social media and then what it makes you once you get a platform right like there's a lot of men who didn't have um influence with women they understand me and then once they get a platform they have attention that comes with these assets now they have influential capital they understand me and that comes with the lack of experience because with that comes a responsibility right insecurities that may pop up i got a lot of brothers so it prepared me because all my brothers you know i mean we're a good looking bunch so my ideas of thinking that i'm the only good looking man in the world and the only one who can get guinness stamina or have that influence you know with the ladies is can be easily put to the test right when i got other brothers that have similar energies as myself right so it gave me a more realistic and then i don't have to have envy or jealousy of my brother i could share the earth with them you know right right like it's cool like are you are you familiar with there's a there's a lot of uh content creators who exist in a space you you ever heard a red pill red pill blue pill yeah when it comes to women and dating and all that stuff are you familiar with that i mean i know red pen and blue pill at a concert community i'm not sure which that one okay it's interesting because i i just was introduced to this in the couple months ago right i was doing a podcast with some brothers um shout out to fresh and fit uh in miami and i had no idea this world existed i thought it was just fresh and fit like being fly fitness business you know i had no idea was about dating right and just by some of the questions that they asked me uh and i answered truthfully how i felt you know uh and in regards to women and opposite sex man the comments were very disrespectful right yeah they're like he's a symp he's just mike's a simp he's a beta i'm like pardon me pardon me you know like me being in an influential person for so long i've done so many like events and seminars and talks and expos i've met so many lines of people not once if someone ever said anything disrespectful to me it's always love pictures you know but online these guys are calling me disrespectful names like wow how do you feel about yourself that you would you can only say this on the computer right for one so let's put that to the side let's get to the mall of this the fact that i have such a high regard and respect and admiration for women makes me ascent yeah interesting so i i i was exposed to a whole world called the red pill who you know we understand women what women need or want or whatever and you know it it felt like i'm not saying this is what it is but to me it feels like a men's support group of you know maybe you haven't had your way with women you know what i'm saying and there's a bunch of different uh creators concert creators that give you points how to deal with women and i think that even though there's a lot of sense in some of the stuff they say some truth and some of the stuff they say the tactics right the method is kind of kind of dirty you know what i'm saying it's kind of grimy and the position that they hold and the way they communicate with women is just disrespectful it's not it's not tolerable in my world in my world you know what i'm saying i don't speak to women disrespectfully you know i protect i protect women and they've oh he sounds like he was raised by his mother you know i'm saying like that and i'm like my mother's stronger than you bro you have no idea you know i get a huge source of power from my mother you know what i'm saying that's that's the earth so it's just fascinating bro but i was curious if you've never heard or come across any of that you know i one thing i feel feel like people filter aspects of themselves when they come around me because i think that they think i'm a regard them as week or so so certain things don't make my radar you understand me and my mom told me about you know i guess people divide the world in simpson pimps you understand me and my mom always told me that pimps were because i didn't really love women you understand me so i never wanted to be a pimp right you understand me um and then you got players and then you got you know all these different things gentlemen and then you got gods you understand me we do live in a society to where young men were not fathered correctly and then if you were if you did have a father don't mean he gave you the game about you know women you understand me how you probably didn't write in particular you probably didn't have it yeah he didn't have it to give so it's yours to learn as you grow right so i empathize but only to a certain extent because when you got a grown-ass man who decides that this is the way that he wants to live you understand me and he'll put energy behind that then that's detrimental yeah you understand me and i don't believe in that i think it is some sucker quite frankly i think a lot of men you know they lack belief in themselves so they can't deal with any challenges from women whatsoever right a good woman go challenge you right grow as she should yeah right but i don't have an intellectual capacity to deal with that that's because i love the challenge and i love it right i love any kind of challenge here's the thing like so what i was trying to communicate to this this group of people is this like look don't blame your shortcomings with women on women it's on you there was a time that i couldn't have the types of women that i wanted i had to qualify myself to get there right they would be like well mike you can't listen to mike because he has the genetics he has money i'm like they give you all the points like i was born like your confidence always there oh i've always every level of my life i have fun i had a good life money and not your money didn't change anything see that gives you more than all the other they talking about that gives you an upper on a larger part of society you understand me just having that confidence because that that's the biggest thing when it's talking to anybody you understand me specifically you're talking to a woman you understand me because that's the energy you giving her and that's the energy she gonna give you back correct correct you know i um my mother treated me like a young prince you know i mean so i had confidence all my life right and i was involved in sports and i thought i was a boxer and i know i could fight and handle myself yeah that gave me confidence yeah and i would beat up the bigger kids you know what i'm saying that gave me confidence and you know i i always try to be good at the that i did you know i'm saying so all that gave me confidence but i had confidence because i wanted i wanted to be a legit kid a legit like when i when i started lifting weights i was like 12. i wanted to be good at my sport you know what i'm saying i wanted to be really effective in my sport me and her homies racing you know we play every sport on the concrete you know what i'm saying scraped up knees all the time whatever we did that but we were training we didn't know it was we didn't know how we was preparing ourselves for the future you know i'm saying creating becoming formidable warriors yeah i'm saying and um this is fascinating and it's disheartening to an extent how so much so many like these a lot of these creators i'm not saying all these guys but some of these guys giving people such and i i would like everybody's doing a video about mike rasheed's this video like breaking down the videos right oh so this one if one of them was having this moment oh yeah but it wasn't nobody none of them not one of them said nothing disrespectful though it'd be like the clowns in the comments right they couldn't really say is nothing because they're trying to be so what type of stuff you say i want to see if i agree uh uh what i don't just me being me saying nice things about women bro like it's really bizarre yeah it's really bizarre because here's the reality a lot of fellas what they're feeling is the reality and i told them boldly i said you you shouldn't be throwing stones at me i'm the prototype of what you're trying to be i'm saying yeah like i'm self-made powerful men respect me i'm saying uh i'm i'm wealthy uh i create jobs and opportunities for a lot of people i live how i want and i can have any woman that i want you know i'm saying this is what y'all want it should be yeah i'm saying so because they're trying to come up with these little cheap dating tactics and you know the odds like holler at 30 girls and two of them i'm like nah he does that so it's like i i and i tell them like you think you do you think you re so i i hear that right because now it gets to the point where you get to a certain status essentially to where you can't even be relatable to the average man because like things like finding tactics and 30 out of 2 out of 30. that's that's such a a lower status i'm going to just call that you understand me that once you get to a certain point it's unfathomable for you to even think in that capacity right you understand me it's like a millionaire trying to think of ways to get ten dollars it just seems like such a wasteful time and it is that's why i try to express to them and i tell i tell young men all the time and you can look it through my videos like throughout the years i would give advice to young men advice to guys trying to be trainers i always said leave the women alone yeah get your build your foundation right become a valuable person and your your pool to select from will be greater yeah it'd be that of more quality too many people spend i mean a lot of males spend most of their time chasing women instead of building theirself up that part you understand me and so if you reverse that you start building yourself up then it becomes magnetized towards you that's it very anything that you chase is running away from you whether it's even money right whatever it is is you repelling it you're always pushing in the front of you a little bit you understand me but once you stop and you just start adding value to yourself knowledge money values you understand me relationships like your status goes up then automatically your pool you understand me grows larger as well your opportunities your choices your options and and the thing is is this like my thing is always like is very important to me i was telling you earlier like i get anxiety because of my responsibilities right because i care about them so much yeah and one of my responsibilities is making sure my little man becomes a productive member of society you know what i'm saying so but that's what i'm always aiming for how can i be of of value to my community to whatever community you know what i'm saying so that makes you everybody's talking about this high-value mail right yeah and they're putting money on it yeah got it i know so many lanes with money yeah had money for a long time you know what i'm saying yeah that is not how a high-value male you know what i'm saying a high-value person is a person that of a person a man of respect a man of honor a man of character effects you know what i mean so so i want to segue yeah to mr kevin samuels what's your take on him because a lot of this rhetoric comes from that side like what do you what do you feel about what he's doing what he's about well you know i look at it like this and it's more so a sign of the times because i'm sure that there's more kevin samuels out there that have a microphone and an opinion but the sign of the times is the fact that there is a stylish from atlanta you understand me um who has very effeminate ways being championed by males as the one where they should get their advice from when it comes to dealing with women or how to become a high value man and you know truth is truth right so if a person speaks truth i'm in agreement but at some point in time the source of that truth does matter understand me because number one you can't disrespect women right and have a platform try as if you're trying to help women those two different things just don't mix right and so i think that just by the fact though of who he is you understand me and the fact that there are so many males who didn't have a father figure in their life it's a very telltale sign that at times you understand me because as you said yeah being a high value man is not about your money you understand me because as i said earlier though yes spend time building yourself up but not just your money but so many men have only spent time making money that that's all they have to show for because they believe that well that's all women want and some men only want women who want the money so that's all they get because that's their value that's the only value and so it it he's exploiting an aspect of society without teaching the true virtues and characters and exemplifying what a real man is in my opinion as well unfortunately all right so just for the record i don't speak about people behind their backs this is the internet and people have been saying you should talk to him i said i would no problem talking to him you know what i'm saying open invitation um but this is how i feel about the whole situation and i you know i'm torn i'm like damn all right that makes sense but why are you talking to her like that or and i listen to him right and he is a sophist he is one that just wants to argue because it creates great entertaining entertaining content value right i actually uh looked at went like a year back on his channel and i was blown away about how vastly different he presented himself yeah like you said it was very feminine and i'm not trying to disrespect them but it just was that's the reality it was you know all the videos was about fragrances cologne i was like who does that yeah i didn't even know that was a thing i would assume i don't know maybe a woman would talk about fragrances and makeup and like that but whatever to each their own listen the man found a lame i guess right i do think it's cheap though because he went viral telling the woman you built like a linebacker that's when he started blowing up right and it's like that's very that's damaging to that woman it's damaging to other women he makes them rate themselves and take out the seven degrading why are you taking out the seven why are you handicapping the argument you know what i'm saying well this is my platform you call me and he's right they're calling him which i don't understand why right that's why i say it's a sign of the times we like characters that are polarizing you understand me and there's certain times you understand me polarizing characters go had a day right we during the era of donald trump he created the polarization right you understand me to wear any figures that have that polarizing effect can be magnified because that's where the intentions will give they the masters will give their attention to so for me though it's like what i don't like about the situation is um well it's not even about a like it's just what it exposes right and i see so many men who agree i see men who stand behind it but i also can see through those men like y'all are hurt you understand me a lot of them are we a lot of them don't have game don't have you know men and they family so there's an empathetic asp aspect of it and then it's like it's like it's unfortunate that it's so many weak men and this is this your godfather you understand me it's no way that me growing up as a man will look to somebody such as that right as any figure and exalt this person in public there's nothing wrong with hearing some information and agreeing with logic logic and common sense is is number one you understand me i could listen but we was always taught to settle on the best parts so yeah when you speak truth i'm rocking with you right but i'm not going to take the whole character and then publicly you know exalt this person or that disrespectful you said something that i've been saying for a long time my personal issue is the source of this information is it solid right it's not no if you look at the history of this part you look at the history of my channel is very consistent yeah you know what i'm saying this person was a complete 180 yeah at a certain point when something caught on right and you know i'm like bro you're not that guy no you're not that guy you know what i'm saying and furthermore that may be what society looks as mass the new masculine i don't think so i can't i can't i can't subscribe to that society we're not we're talking about we're not talking about man you know i appear i think people talking about larger society well it it's just that before i get into that so i i listened to a few of his videos i'm like oh okay i see where you got this from you know you are you familiar with the clinical psychologist uh jordan peterson he's dope he's a he he's a actual clinical psychologist and deals with all types of issues with people he went viral well he became popular because a few years ago he was a professor at university of toronto and they made a law out there to where people had to use gender pronouns he said i'm not going to do that right he said i'm not it's not that i'm not going to address you by your gender pronoun but i'm not gonna let a law make me do it you know what i'm saying and i agree with them and so people started you know knowing about him through that and he became very popular but the guy is solid you know i'm saying i i've seen a lot of things that he said that i that that i learned from you know what i'm saying because for 30 40 years he's been counseling people you know what i'm saying him having exposure to the internet is new or the internet having exposure to him is new but his foundation is solid right he's a seem like a really good person right good family you know what i'm saying and a lot of these statistics that you hear samuels uh spouting is stuff that he's gotten from peterson but with zero context you know what i'm saying so and i feel like because at first when i'm listening to samuel i'm like he's trying to like create a perfect woman for himself he's training women into thinking these things are the societal norms just for himself but yeah maybe but he's also giving weak men out right and you know women are seeing this and i feel like yeah i guess i guess so it's bleak it's bleak for me you know what i'm saying that's not reality for everybody right it's not healthy it's not healthy the the way that it's happening right and it's so popular it's like but like you say every dog has his day you know what i'm saying and i i always say this i have a firm belief and so far i have not been wrong that when the truth is there and there's a lot of chaos and around it that look like it's superseding the truth it never does that dust will settle and that truth will still be standing yeah and i feel like people will see this guy for who he is um at some point and i don't know i don't know who he is you know what i'm saying but he's not an authority on men and women or in relationships on masculinity any of that you know what i'm saying so and i'm not gonna sit here and question his sexuality because i see people doing that i don't know nothing about this guy right and i don't want to disrespect him to be honest because he seems like a nice person i've seen interviews when he's not talking to the women that call up they seem like a very sensible man you know what i'm saying but it's the interviews they're very uh salacious they're very uh you know it's to me it's dirty it's cheap it's a cheap way to get followers and traction i think it's just an entertainer and i think that at a certain point in time you got to just detach it and understand that this this world that we live in where media personalities can entertain and sometimes they make some truth in there with some falsehood you understand me and you know they they catch a hook and the people get baited into it so you know i've never really put too much stock into him i never watched a full video i've just seen the virality of it and was disappointed with some men um because i thought that they followed the higher figures you understand me i thought that they had better sources right right and so for me it was just showing like damn what happened to the rules i grew up with just understand me my my sources outside of myself yeah it's been my father and the minister louis farrakhan that's it sorry my father my brother that's an honorable mention and i don't know elijah muhammad but as far as living figures yeah i'm three yeah you understand me and my experience yeah my experiences me seeking intentional information to go learn you know and i know you know i'm gonna make sure that i continue to provide for my platform you understand me substance to where young men can grow up and really understand what their true value is because yeah if you want to have sex with somebody and just get into any relationship get some money so they can provide the resources to fund that but if you want to create something meaningful as a family established wealth then the values that you find in a man is going to be different beyond his money you understand me that's one resource but character has to be deeply into that right and him being a real masculine figure has to be into that and so that's where we draw the line when we're talking about what's high value and what's not right i understand me because it creates a very shallow society as far as what we look for in each other and it's very damaging to our ability to create healthy families and women deserve uh that divine masculinity and their significant other yeah they deserve that that's necessary you know how you have that balance there so this this word of alpha masculine has been uh been running alpha man has been running around a lot and then you got alpha uh women right um and recently i've been seeing some men get called out by women or them not actually being out for men right so from what i'm hearing how are they calling them out like what are they saying i mean it was very uh blank in saying that you're not alpha man or just saying like yeah okay but not giving any reasons oh well they gave reasons after it was broken down and one guy was like what do you mean i'm like i'm the guy in my group like i take care of my family and take care of everybody in my situation and um she was like nah but that's that's not it it's more than that though you understand me it's a certain energy that you possess a certain quality when you walk in a room and to be honest i understood what she was saying you understand me it's one thing to be you know masculine a provider protector producer to be a man right but it's a certain energy and i'm sure you experience it you understand me when you walk in a room and the atmosphere changes the energy changes you possess annoying about yourself you understand me that has nothing to do with you taking care of responsibilities right so and i don't subscribe to the word apple but i understand the aspect of what she was getting at because i'm i would never argue with any man or woman about my status and position you understand me as far as um how i see myself right so to even do that takes you out the category in the running because any man that knows himself is not going to argue with anybody else right they understand me that's knowledge yourself so it's like you know what is well i guess you know do you agree with that definition do you like as far as what would make a man and alpha you understand me um versus is probably what we're trying to get is more so what makes him divine right for me all right there there's attributes that exist like alpha or divine masculine and all of the stuff that i have never put upon myself others have put on me right so uh the very first meeting i had today was with a sister and she just kept adorning me with that you know what i'm saying and she's a solid sister right so my woman adorns me with that you know what i'm saying um even in the workspace right like my brother sean he had to pull me to the side one day cause sometimes i'm quiet you know i might be tired ain't woke up yet and he's like bro it's like everybody's walking on eggshells cause they don't know if you you'll say right right i like bro i'm good i'm good and i'm always like you know in a certain certain times some people are a little put off or a little like i don't know if you're good today but you know i'm like i'm normal like what's up yeah so i understand that there is a certain type of presence and energy that some people carry i don't it's not like i did some push-ups to have it you know saying like it's just maybe the culmination of the things of my life got me to this point and i think the fact that like everybody's paths are different yeah everybody's circumstances that got them to where they are different you had your brothers your father i never met your brothers but your father i never met him but i listen to him speak incredible you know what i'm saying so i get why you're the way that you are it's really dope seeing y'all sit down and build it you know what i'm saying yeah i even look alike you know what i'm saying but um with me you know my mother my father was a fly dude intellectually you know what i'm saying my father put me on how to eat to live message to the black man all these books when i was a kid right and my father was a real dude you know what i'm saying he was locked up with nikki barnes like he he came up through that era of brooklyn of new york and seen a lot of life right his son of immigrants my mother she had a hard life so she was a strong woman the epitome of what they say a black woman is you know what i'm saying so and my mother was tough and kind of damaged to where you know she was like extremely hard on me you know what i'm saying and that just made me strong then i was a father at a very early age i think all of these things made me like level up to become a alpha whatever divine masculine whatever they say because you know there's a lot of things that i had to carry people had to care for at an early age and i'm like that to this day i care about my people to a great extent uh my children and my woman i care about them more than myself because i'm always good you know what i'm saying so i'm trying to exalt uh make provide comfort wisdom guidance you know what i'm saying so and that's what everybody i'm around you know i mean so i have a deep level of empathy for people if you look at chimpanzees the alpha in their community right first of all chimpanzees are very violent you know they they're wow but in their community the alpha the leader is not the most not the biggest he's not the most formidable even though he is formidable he's the guy that protects other chimps you know what i'm saying when somebody's getting their food taken he goes protected he hugs them like i've seen video of this and i read a book called sapiens that breaks this down it's like the history of human evolution and uh i'm like wow i think that's interesting and it makes sense and i tell people all the time like when i was in the street this is what this is why part of my confidence too i was at the top of the food chain in the street right got out of it i had to pay heavy consequences but i did and now i'm in a whole nother world rising to the top you know what i'm saying and there i had to lead out of love in the jungle you know what i'm saying because cats that led out of fear and terror got killed by cats that was afraid of them you know what i'm saying scared people killed you know i'm saying like i'm i'm uncomfortable around this so you know saying whatever whenever when you lead out of love somebody jump in front of a bullet for you you know i'm saying i've always been that guy so i think all of these things it's a lot i don't know how we get to this point but i mean you relate on a lot of things we're not typical people in whatever aspect of life that we're in so yeah we fit the mold of the masculine the alpha whatever but there's something different there there's something else there as well you know what i'm saying and uh we were talking earlier business and we both agreed upon the fact that there's purpose behind doing all of this way outside of money absolutely so so that matters and these are ineffable qualities that people have some people have that you can't say is this his height or is his this is what it's something inside that just shines you know it's a god energy yeah you know what i mean and being tapped into that frequency you really can't explain it better than that you know i'm saying that the god energy is that big god energy that uh energy that i had you pushing and believing and doing beyond uh even a lot of times you know understanding you know it just has to be it's gonna be done you know right it's a force you understand you know god is described as power and force so when you move with power and force you being god you are in that god being and so men that move like that no matter who you are even if you don't understand yourself you you just have it you understand me and if you can cultivate that and it can grow and then when you grow into an understanding of that then you become really powerful you understand me because that power is learning how to really move that force and understand that force and then that divinity comes with putting morals and righteousness to that force and deciding that you're only going to move that power and force for good right and be divine and that part take care of others is that bro yeah that's what it is when you make a decision to only use that powerful good i i had a conversation with this dude one time and it was men and women and this dude maybe he felt like here's the thing i'm never i don't care about somebody's girl or whatever i'm not competing for girls ever you know what i'm saying these guys don't understand like i'm not interested in that you know what i'm saying so my life is way more serious than what people realize you know what i mean so but anyway this guy was trying a virtual signal right because we're talking about life and experiences and you know the fact that you know i had a a turbulent upbringing and i've done some things uh came up and he was like well like i mean i've never done a crime or i'm not violent i'm like i said it's not that you're not violent you're harmless you know what i'm saying you're harmless i said i'm not violent i'm peaceful you're not peaceful you don't have the capacity for violence you are blessed you're on this if you think about it i have the capacity for violence right when i was you know lost in the wilderness i was violent yeah when i found my way i decided not to be violent and i to this day i am not a violent person i'm a peaceful person violence it hurts my soul you know what i'm saying so and i have done crimes in the past i didn't fear the consequences i dealt with it right i wouldn't do that again all my energy and my efforts is being moved for good right so you know this guy i'm like you're trying to like virtual signal and make yourself out to be this great guy you've never done a crime because you you you're i told him now you're a bro you're not the type of person to do that get the out of here if you can't just take a million dollars right now you wouldn't do it without getting caught you would you know what i'm saying but you would need verification and proof that no one would ever figure it out you know what i'm saying yeah you that that's not virtuous you're just sneaky right right so i'd we had to make that distinction so it's like nah i choose to do the right thing yeah i do the right thing i mean it's a big difference between you know uh um the nature of a lion and the sheep you know if you walk through a field of sheep unscathed no big deal you walk through a field the lions unscathed they must have been non-violent you understand me because the nature of the sheep is harmless right the nature that that lion you understand instinctual it's a hunter you understand means apex so you know there it's not much to say that it goes to the statistics to say that black men are in the type of conditions that will make them more prone to criminality right and even though that white men don't find themselves in those same exact conditions that make them more prone to criminality they commit crimes more crimes and so the question was why don't black men commit more crimes even though there are situations when you look at you know the lack of household the poverty the environment would say that these men should commit more crimes based on more of them being in these situations right right and so it's because a lot of us you know we don't want to utilize our power for bad we don't have a nature that is bad correct you're often corrupted by environment at a younger age correct you understand me and sent in that direction but even the the reality that we deal with uh from our once oppressors you understand me shows you what our nature is we have a very forgiving nature and this is not and a lot of times it's a very unfortunate reality because we don't uh uh grip our power they understand me and move by force and unify and do what we're supposed to do and that's often exploited because we have such a good nature like an amazingly good nature i mean this is why we fell victim to colonialism yeah because we were not people don't realize like if you look at like shaka zulu like he's known as this powerful warlord whatever shakazulu like the his people there you know what they wars look like no it look like crump dancing like mocking each other you know what i'm saying they didn't get violent until the british gave him gunpowder like guns like yo you know you use this and that happens you know what i'm saying we wasn't even on that you know what i'm saying so it's like you know we we learned he did develop the long spear yeah but i'm just saying like the level of violence he he was he was one he was the start of a lot of great violence but prior to him that wasn't divided he understood that it was a necessary to keep the enemy at bay because on his death bed after he was killed by his brother you understand me i went to uh swaziland in south africa um and it was giving us the stories and the breakdown and essentially he was like yeah i don't know what y'all just did like i was the only one that understood our enemy enough to keep them at bay you understand me y'all it's a particular saying he said but it was basically saying y'all killed me but that means that your death is certain now right you understand me because he understood that as as long as he could deal with the britons and his enemy a certain way they wouldn't come and conquer the lands right you understand me that they didn't understand the propensity that these folks had for violence you understand me and how devilish that they actually were right so after him of course they started losing but he was basically saying that no i need to conquer all it is so they can't conquer it right you understand me now he he was wild and that his mom died you understand me and and that's why they you know got at him but they also didn't understand that his violence was what was necessary much better than what was to come if he wasn't there right and and i tell people all the time like yo if you look at us as violent that's interesting especially us here we learned it legitimately yeah we were dealt with with violence absolutely you know what i'm saying white folks didn't respect us when they seen a tribe so they see a tribe um and if they seem just like uh uh the people being peaceful and there was no alpha and a group that led the pack and they didn't have strategies for war and trying to conquer each other they didn't respect it so they considered those people to be um what's the word um on the people not that advanced primitive primitive yeah so they put that primitive word on them now they would take all of the science to learn everything that they knew from them strip them of that and then conquer those same people they were only primitive in their eyes because their nature was so good right right they didn't want to conquer and so they couldn't understand why they had this potential to be great conquerors right based on their mind their intelligent aptitude of thought because they were practicing you know uh uh geometry and and had these advanced techniques and you talking about like the dogon people being able to understand star mapping but white folks can understand why they don't use this power to conquer they don't even see us standing over their shoulder plotting on them right you understand well it was part of like where we come from where they come from right it's like the great colonizers was belgium was britain was spain and france right and those regions suck you know what i'm saying coal no natural resources things of that nature where everywhere we was at we had an abundance yes you know what i'm saying and listen everybody know i've lived in miami i'm from new york i live in miami other than scottsdale arizona i live in southern california ain't no place like a sunny place you know miami waking up on the beach with the ocean you feel better you're more positive you know what i'm saying where it's cold you hate it everybody in new york the whole vibe is to get out of new york everybody go down south or west you know what i'm saying this is how it is so these people hated what they were they like what the so they had a certain necessity to like i gotta ge i gotta have this i gotta have this right we didn't have that kind of uh energy we was good yeah he was like hey what's up there's a book on that an honorable the honorable minister little swarkon brought it to my attention when he was giving a breakdown on the time and what must be done and it's called the iceman inheritance and the arthur who's a white guy gives a breakdown on the difference and studying the nature trying to understand his own people and he come up with the what's called the cronus complex and a cronus complex gives a breakdown he talks about because he's growing up in these cold climates right and you know in a cold climate you're always having to survive you're always having to learn to keep warmth right it's that hustle it's that conquering energy right right where you know we grow up in a more warm climate make us more relaxed like that survival that sun that's life so the nature of two different people you understand me by default growing up in these different climates right so it's different you know they call it the stone cold killer you understand me that person that goes at the end just hunch you and take what's yours it's that caveman mentality right and that also follows in freudian theory of the cronus complex and it goes back to uh greek philosophy and the same thing they they mentioned cronus and cronus was this figure of time right cronus um held this sickle of time and it represented you know the fight between the father and the son right that um the titan um destroyed his children because he feared they power that they will grow up in right or the the titans were destroyed um and it goes on to say that a cronin is an increment of time like a second right or a minute so saying that time is divisible and it was saying that this was father time and it spoke upon the fact that you know there's space territory and then there's time territory and it got to a point where human beings wanted to be instead of just spatial territory i own this plot of land i'll need to become a spatial territory where i own time so this is my now my bronze age right this is my iron age this is the age of the greeks or the age of the romans we will own this period of time and that had to happen more from a physical standpoint but they had to conquer people from a mental standpoint right and that can be looked at and then freud talked about his cronus complex spoke upon how and history of europeans they always regretted the woman last her value was always regarded based on what she can do for men you understand she always seen herself in a reflection of how she'd be more man-like and then she's more valuable right and that if she didn't produce a son right then she didn't have value right so then when she produced the son he became more valuable than her instantly right so it's always been the man the boy then the woman so it means that she's always last our people seeing man and woman which creates a balance masculine feminine his masculine masculine feminine right so it it allows it never allows for balance to be in their society and when things are always unbalanced you have a war a world always that is pending end you understand me and so it speaks upon the nature of two different people now how we go about creating society how we go about building worlds and what we see as value and that's why you know even when he's seeing the black man with the phallus symbol of strength right what they call you know dr wesley gives a great breakdown in the book of god when he talks about how they had to destroy you know the black bull because that taurine represented you understand me the black god in primordial terms when you go back to symbology and in real time you understand me they did all of these different ritual things to try to gain the power of the world because if you're a man and you meet another man in his place of conquering he has greater intellect physical capability stamina uh you understand me big madingo hanging you understand me women everywhere looking good plentiful bountiful you now your insecurities is popping you understand me so you know you're not going to just conquer this person physically you have to deceive that person to make them forget who they are so you can conquer them mentally not only that when we fast forward to where we are in society how do they conquer things well we got constitutions of magna cartas paperwork so we live we are living in the construct of another man's mind right and that's how he's conquering time because when our children are born they're going to be born under a construct of the constitution you understand me has nothing to do with our rule of law what we think the universe is he has to obey laws that was started by a man or a group of families so just understanding the ideologies that we have towards conquering completely different we want to go conquer a block we want to conquer a city we want to conquer each other we want to bully each other nah they think about controlling the world yeah we that that microcosm of their behaviors is all we know unfortunately because we've been so far from removed from our original wisdom you know what i'm saying our geometry our architecture our understanding of the universe and cosmology you know which is which is egregious and when i think about like the greeks you know our society here is based on greek tenets greek teachings right and the greeks had a lot of dope but the greeks teachers were us and you know if you if you study like uh the the comedic mystery system and you know socrates and all of these guys came to study right yeah the arabs the europeans they all came to africa to study all kimet command nubia all of these reasons right right and you know it was a 40-year university the longest any of the europeans ever stayed was maybe eight years right so and they would they they in their in their in their writings they're like they need to just give us the information so you know and then they sacked our our libraries in our temples and destroyed them right because you because uh colonial times had to erase anything any contributions of us to justify slavery and and a lot of the atrocities that came with it so what's unfortunate to the world we live in and everybody's enjoying this dope society is we're living on partial information we don't even know that's crazy to me that we don't we don't have these these teachings anymore we so far removed from it and then we're even further removed from it than them because it was illegal for us to read when we were free you know yeah so you know we have uh we have to really accelerate that learning curve you know what i'm saying oh okay here here we go i i agree though you understand me there's a lot that has to happen in order for us to control our time again you understand me and be in control of our mind again correct you understand me like so question for you do we try to figure out what was lost or do we create the new right now so i don't think it's more so about figuring out per se what was lost because i think that the information exists is knowing which source to believe right one of the bigger issues that we have is we can't agree on source right like everybody wants to have their own special ideology right right and that's the one thing that we differ from other people they can agree on source they can say listen we we may disagree on a lot of different things but somebody got to be god everybody's god can't be right and we can't all be banging each other gods you understand me we can we agree that we were came from chemic can we agree that we were morris and what history can we even agree on to begin with you understand me and so we have to have like a council that decides it you understand me because if you allow the world to figure it out our people to just figure it out that can go on for thousands of years yeah there has to be a council the same way that there's people in every race that decides what the constitution is what history is right then we need this council that same way to decide that okay we decided to gather all the information right and this is the timeline that we decided to agree on that we're going to teach you understand me because that's going to be the most progressive way that we can start evolving because you can't evolve unless you are taking parts of the past and building it into the children in the present you understand me so you're gonna take noble drew ali you're gonna take marcus garvey you go take the honorable elijah muhammad you're gonna take uh uh frederick douglass and fred hampton and you know malcolm x and honorable minister louis farrakhan and and whoever i forgot and i missed and you're going to teach those ideologies so because each person had one thing that they did better than the other right and what you want to do is how do i give right these children all of the frequencies of the gods that existed you understand me because they have the ability of going to the romans going to the greeks going to the phoenicians you understand me and looking at history and drawing from energy of the past and saying this is who i am so of course they don't want to destroy that because they draw from it but where do we draw from if they can think back and think that you know their goddamn ancestor is zeus right we only think our ancestor was a slave right you understand me that's a completely different feeling yeah and when we do draw back to chemic and nubian we still can't even agree we it's still like a i think they black but it could have been white you understand me like we just don't have absolutes yeah i mean there are there are uh the the inside of the pyramids still have the exact hieroglyphs of yeah the color of your shirt my cousins you know what i'm saying it is nothing different it's like okay whatever whatever but yeah you're right bro and um i think that i think it's happening especially with people like us i think you know it's time to be more deliberate about education and retelling history to the way that it was and also planting that seed of confidence and that god seed in these god children you know what i'm saying because people growing up bro thinking that it's about and i and i don't want to knock rappers i love rap music i love the the energy and the the feel it changed the world you know what i'm saying but that's just one aspect of us you know what i'm saying so you know man we we we've done and i and i look at us here in particular in a very interesting way black people in america united states yeah we're special yeah man because there's nobody no blacks anywhere else in the world you know producing what we're producing here right and i don't know why maybe maybe they created a monster you know what i'm saying they you know they whooped us into like some great great things you know what i'm saying and the breeding who knows whatever it is and i'm sure it's a combination of the the the abundance of resources that's here you know what i'm saying so but whatever we making it happen you know what i mean and it's beautiful to see you know what i'm saying for me it's super refreshing to to build with people like you like why you know because it's sparse it's sparse you know but but i and and the brothers that i do build with and i get a lot from they're behind the scenes you know what i'm saying and for understandable reasons you know they they kill our leaders you know what i'm saying which is egregious and it's disheartening but it makes me think of like different strategies and more creative ways to you know to be like mycelium like these neural networks all throughout the earth and be effective because my thing is being effective yeah it's not necessarily being heard or the guy that did this is being effective at the bottom line so my mind is always thinking about how how can i how can we get in that that room over there get one of us over there you know yeah and it's coming it's coming together you know i think of it like this you know before i ever thought was ever thought of the underbalance muhammad was wearing the crown the starry crown on his head and i don't wear it because i believe i got to an exalted position and i move as honorable have the same knowledge and information or message or whatever you understand me as the honorable elijah muhammad it's not to make mockery or anything of that nature it is to present you know um a consciousness that otherwise would have not been there is to create a bridge you understand me because symbols are so powerful right sun moon and stars and when i can see a person who uh you know they buy a crown for me and i see them walking down the street with the sun on the stars on their head and they hit me up and be like keys man i i just i put this on i feel like a god i get so much respect and then i can bridge them to knowledge itself because then they want to know source right right and i always like to go to root source understand me why was the honorable elijah muhammad inspired by the sun moon and stars in the first place right why are the akan people you understand me inspired and represent chieftain in their village and multitude of different cultures throughout time looked at the cosmic order and you know he said something he said that uh we wear the uh starring crescents on our lapel and on our heads to represent our rulership and nothing more you know it represents that it comes these things come from us we don't come from them you understand me the the stars are children of god you understand me god is not a child of the star and that means a lot to me because gang culture was taught to us in a very specific manner it was spread by individuals and it was also spread by media media such as colors taught us ritualistic behavior on how to bang it spread the propaganda of gang culture right and what about god culture how are we utilizing those same tactics and strategies to spread a new culture to a new generation because that generation don't know nothing about the founders of gangs they don't know nothing about the exact corner streets brotherhood things that were started about but they following it today yeah and it's negative in the light that they follow because we use it to murder each other so if i can create a bridge in the same manner that was created on the opposite side by crowning a generation and then it'd be a bridge to them tapping into their godhood then i believe that i have done some work on this planet and i believe that each person should pick something that they bring that is a bridge and that is a weapon to fight the world that they trying to build versus the world that we need right right right brother brother brother yo we could do this all day yeah you know what i'm saying but uh i got to get do some school shopping with my son let's see but no i appreciate you for coming down bro yes sir anytime and yo make sure you check out keith's uh youtube channel the links down below and we out of here peace peace work [Music]
