 See, you gotta have skin for this. This skin ain't for everybody. So when years, when it wasn't going my way, years I'm signing with Swish House, people ain't happy, years I ain't selling no records, years I'm still drinking and smoking, years I'm still going to jail, I never gave up. Yeah, we on boss talk one on one, one on one. Yeah, we gon' talk. In your entire life, what would you say is your biggest achievement? Consistency. Nope. On everything. And let me tell you, longevity, consistency, and I would say, whatever word is fun, I never give up. No matter the circumstances. That's why I tell people it's easy for me to accept the word legend, or accept all the homics that's given to me because I accept all the ridicule, all the pain, all the hurt, all the down talk and all the derogatory. I live through that. See, this skin, you gotta have skin for this. This skin ain't for everybody. So when years, when it wasn't going my way, years I'm signing with Swish House, people ain't happy, years I ain't selling no records, years I'm still drinking and smoking, years I'm still going to jail, I never gave up. Never gave up. Why did you stop drinking and smoking? Because it was just, it was time. I didn't stop smoking. No! Why did you stop drinking? I stopped drinking though, you know what I'm saying? Because it just became time, I was drinking syrup all my life and I ended up catching a case at one of my studios and I had just got out a lot of trouble, a lot of trouble and the judge was just like, you know what, we really spared you. So if we convict you on this, we're gonna fire the 99 year. So it was a bunch going on in my studio. Anyway, long story short, they had me on a pre-trial from November, 2010, 2011 to April, 2012. Couldn't drink, couldn't do nothing. You had to take a piss test every time you go to court. So I was just all five months. I told God, if I beat that case, I never drank again. I never sip another piece of syrup, not an ounce, not a deuce, not a tray, not a cup, not a wok, not a act, nothing. And that was 12 years ago and I ain't been back since. How hard it was it to just stop? Once I got off on it, it was the hardest thing ever. But my freedom was on the line for that five months and I had just got out a lot of bunch of trouble. So it was gonna be more of an embarrassment to be back in trouble for some drinking and I just got out of all this 10 year trouble that I was in. So once I got it out of my body from November, I never came back. And when I say never came back, not a sneak, not a little bit, not a come back, not a put, nothing. You know, people say the hardest thing is not when you're in trouble and you go cold turkey. It's when you come back out and you're around all your friends that are doing it. I love it. That's my biggest thing. That's my biggest, I love it. Hey man, you can see that that's when I knew that I was strong and that was my first testament of discipline. When I could come around, man, it's everywhere. It's cups, it's everywhere. And let me tell you something, I'm not a hypocrite. I don't come to the table when it starts. Be like, what are you doing here? Why are you drinking that? Nah, this was a choice I had to make for me to change. And it changed my complete life. Got my family back, became a better father, became a better hustler, became a better entrepreneur. You know what I'm saying? Got my faith back with everything I need to do. Because that does slow you down. Well, it changed my life completely. I've done it 20-something years straight. To get away from it and to get my full health back and come out of it with my kidneys, come out of it with my health, come out of it, I was blessed. So I don't talk. Now if you ask me, if you my partner and you ask me, then I'm gonna give you my opinion about it. But that was a big step for me in my life. Man, I did and I know it was a big step because it's not popular. And you come around, I've been at places like that and they be like, man, why he don't drink? I done heard that for years. Man, why you don't drink? I'm just in there chilling. I have a good time regardless. You know what I don't need? Matter of fact, I think I'm having a better time than you. You know what I'm saying? But you worried about it, what you worried for? I think a lot of time people are insecure in what they're doing, because they really lost in who they are. Self-awareness is real. Yeah, self-awareness is real. And that really helped me out. You know what I'm saying? That kind of saved my life on moving forward with it. Man, I just, I turned up after that. You know what I'm saying? That just went to, like I say, man, it was just crazy how different things started happening out the blue. Man, I started getting pieces to my catalog without even having to go to court for it. It's a blessing. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? Man, I was in deals, bad deals, and I just called the people and told them I wanted out. Man, it's a bad deal I want out. Okay. Out. I was like, man, this shit is God-favorite. You know what I'm saying? That other show is like, when you start walking in purpose, he starts opening the doors. That's all that is.
