  • LOL tyler perry. LOL. thinking hes straight. LOL.

  • Yeah, friends are like trees. They fall down if you hit them multiple times with an axe.

  • He will always be one my strongest roots.

  • I can say I am extremely lucky, because I not only have 1 or 2 roots, but I know I have an entire family of roots. I am so lucky to have my roots. I want to say that I miss my papaw, mamaw, and my uncle louie, who have come and passed. my uncle louie passed 4 or five days ago, and we just got the news today. My last memory of him was my aunt's family reunion, where he not showed his wisdom, but he made me and my little brother who was depressed, laugh until we were sure we would die.

  • this is the truth!

  • Thank you Tyler and thank you Madea

  • I Love This!! I've applied statements like these to my life as i've gotten older.

  • Amen madea. I totally agree with it. I have luckily a few ppl in my life who are like the roots.

  • Hi, I need your help. Please subscribe to the channel, Make a Connection - Margaret Johnson, and please rate/comment on the song. It has a great message; you must hear it all the way through.

  • YOU BETTA PREECH THAT WORD MEDEA! SO TRUE!!!!

  • this is the truth!

  • wisest and realist thing i've ever heard thank you Tyler Perry God Bless em

  • so true

  • Can't take a man who dresses as a woman serious. Good advice tho...but *shrugs*

  • @AgentZer0oo0 Way to be transphobic.

  • @comradewanda

    *gives a e-dap*

  • @AgentZer0oo0 - The actor is a man, but the CHARACTER is a woman -- and what difference does it make anyway? Everything Madea's saying is true.

  • @Otacon144

    TYLER is speaking the truth, he is I can't lie to you but.....I just can't take him as a person seriously lol. It's just weird when I see a man doing that. Maybe it's the way I brought up, but it what it is *shrugs*

  • @Otacon144 yeah what does it matter? madea rox, tyler created it. end of story

  • @AgentZer0oo0

    You don't have to take him seriously. There are thousands of people who pay for his products and he is going straight to the bank. I don't think you will have any affect on his earning power. Peace.

  • Leaves do give to the tree, every part of the tree no matter how insignificant it may seem is a part of the whole.

  • @OlavSchneider Yes they are important for the tree and for the person, like leaves these people come for a season and these people do not come for no reason, they teach you a lesson, but what I think Madea was tryna say is expect them to go after a season, don't hold on!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

  • @OlavSchneider Yes, but they wither and die.

  • I remember I used this in an essay...and it got me an A. Thanks Madea!
