00:08:30,635 --> 00:08:33,137
I can't stand for
a ugly motherfucker to play hard to get.

176
00:08:33,221 --> 00:08:35,890
Hell, you hard to want. Shit.

00:08:35,973 --> 00:08:38,226
[audience laughing, scattered applause]

178
00:08:42,188 --> 00:08:44,273
[audience whooping]

179
00:08:49,820 --> 00:08:56,035
Let me tell you something.
If you're ugly… work out. Go to the gym.

180
00:08:56,953 --> 00:08:58,412
And stay clean.

181
00:08:59,830 --> 00:09:01,249
And I'll fuck you.

182
00:09:01,332 --> 00:09:04,794
[audience laughing loudly,
clapping, cheering]

183
00:09:06,796 --> 00:09:09,882
Yeah. Just 'cause you look good
don't mean you smell good.

184
00:09:10,383 --> 00:09:14,512
I done had some fine fishy hoes
in my motherfucking lifetime.

185
00:09:15,012 --> 00:09:17,682
You know what I'd do?
I'd turn that seat heater on.

186
00:09:17,765 --> 00:09:19,809
[audience cheering, laughing]

187
00:09:19,892 --> 00:09:24,188
And when I smell a fish filet frying,
I'll tell you, "Get up out of here!"

188
00:09:24,272 --> 00:09:26,274
[audience laughing, scattered applause]

189
00:09:34,156 --> 00:09:37,994
Women always think we gave them something.
"My coochie's itching."

190
00:09:38,077 --> 00:09:40,538
"You done drank a case of Pepsi."

191
00:09:40,621 --> 00:09:42,415
[audience laughing loudly]

192
00:09:43,332 --> 00:09:45,710
"Pepsi will itch your pussy up too."

193
00:09:45,793 --> 00:09:46,919
[audience laughing]

194
00:09:47,003 --> 00:09:49,130
"Look, there's a bump. There's a bump."

195
00:09:49,213 --> 00:09:51,215
"Bust it. There's Pepsi in it."

196
00:09:51,299 --> 00:09:53,301
[audience laughing loudly]

197
00:09:59,015 --> 00:10:02,602
Yeah. New generation pussy busted Pepsi.

198
00:10:02,685 --> 00:10:04,770
[audience laughing]

199
00:10:06,939 --> 00:10:09,859
Every man in here thought he had AIDS
at least once.

200
00:10:09,942 --> 00:10:11,485
Come on, fellas. Let's admit it.

201
00:10:12,194 --> 00:10:15,281
We done fucked some woman raw
and couldn't sleep for two years.

202
00:10:15,364 --> 00:10:17,283
-Where you at?
-[audience laughing]

203
00:10:17,366 --> 00:10:21,287
Sitting there self-diagnosing yourself.
"Yep, that's me right there."

204
00:10:21,829 --> 00:10:24,707
"Can't sleep, diarrhea, headaches.
I'm dead."

205
00:10:24,790 --> 00:10:26,584
[audience laughing]

206
00:10:28,294 --> 00:10:31,797
You start going to the gym.
"I'm gonna run this shit out of me."

207
00:10:31,881 --> 00:10:33,257
[audience laughing]

208
00:10:38,179 --> 00:10:39,764
[laughing]

209
00:10:43,309 --> 00:10:44,560
You ever fucked a girl raw

210
00:10:44,644 --> 00:10:47,146
and couldn't sleep
for two years after that?

211
00:10:47,647 --> 00:10:49,857
You just kept calling,
looking at the shit,

212
00:10:49,940 --> 00:10:51,442
and then you just call the girl.

213
00:10:51,525 --> 00:10:54,153
You know, like, you can't call a girl
if you fucked a girl raw

214
00:10:54,236 --> 00:10:57,031
and ask her the next day,
"Do you have AIDS?"

215
00:10:57,114 --> 00:10:58,699
[audience laughing]

216
00:10:58,783 --> 00:11:02,703
No, you gotta say… [chuckling]
…"Boy, I'm glad you were clean."

217
00:11:02,787 --> 00:11:03,746
[audience laughing]

218
00:11:03,829 --> 00:11:05,039
And if she don't say nothing,

219
00:11:05,122 --> 00:11:07,750
you're like, "Hey, did you hear
what the fuck I just said?"

220
00:11:07,833 --> 00:11:09,835
[audience laughing, scattered applause]

221
00:11:15,591 --> 00:11:18,844
I don't know how people get in
these long, fucked up relationships

222
00:11:18,928 --> 00:11:21,430
because you ought
to be able to tell on the first date.

223
00:11:22,056 --> 00:11:24,767
Serious. People tell you
who the fuck they are.

224
00:11:25,476 --> 00:11:28,479
Like, you're sitting there with a woman
and you just say, "Girl, you crazy."

225
00:11:28,562 --> 00:11:31,065
If she say, "I know. Everybody say that."

226
00:11:31,148 --> 00:11:34,026
[audience laughing loudly]

227
00:11:35,986 --> 00:11:37,947
It's time to get the fuck out right now.

228
00:11:38,030 --> 00:11:41,325
"Let's stop right now.
Don't order nothing else. Let's go."

229
00:11:42,952 --> 00:11:46,372
Same with you ladies. You're sitting there
with a guy. Y'all sitting there.

230
00:11:46,455 --> 00:11:48,999
This motherfucker got diamonds on,
got a big Rolls-Royce.

231
00:11:49,083 --> 00:11:50,668
You're like, "So what do you do?"

232
00:11:50,751 --> 00:11:53,587
And he's like, uh… uh…
"Yeah, I got a lawn care service."

233
00:11:53,671 --> 00:11:54,839
[audience laughing]

234
00:11:54,922 --> 00:11:58,217
And you done got excited,
and you finna get indicted.

235
00:11:58,300 --> 00:12:01,178
Both of y'all going to jail.
He's a drug dealer.

236
00:12:01,262 --> 00:12:03,514
[audience laughing]

237
00:12:04,890 --> 00:12:07,518
What's up with these girls
with these big-ass BBLs

238
00:12:07,601 --> 00:12:09,145
that come with the teeth too?

239
00:12:09,228 --> 00:12:10,438
Got the ass and the…

240
00:12:10,521 --> 00:12:12,356
[audience laughing loudly, clapping]

241
00:12:17,778 --> 00:12:21,157
Is that a package?
The booty and the teeth come together?

242
00:12:23,451 --> 00:12:25,661
Looks like baby shoes in their mouth.

243
00:12:25,745 --> 00:12:27,329
[audience laughing]

244
00:12:33,669 --> 00:12:34,712
What the fuck?

245
00:12:38,632 --> 00:12:42,470
And I don't know what it is.
The finer the woman, the broker they are.

246
00:12:44,430 --> 00:12:46,223
Beautiful and poor as hell.

247
00:12:48,809 --> 00:12:53,606
No, that's real shit. And all the women
that look like Kodak Black bank account,

248
00:12:54,940 --> 00:12:57,443
these hoes got 413CKs.

249
00:12:57,526 --> 00:13:00,571
Is that what they call it?
I don't know what the fuck it is.

250
00:13:01,906 --> 00:13:03,991
I didn't get the education
I was supposed to get,

251
00:13:04,074 --> 00:13:06,285
but I fucked around and got famous.

252
00:13:06,368 --> 00:13:11,248
[audience laughing,
clapping, cheering, whistling]

253
00:13:13,501 --> 00:13:16,879
So you're looking at
a slow guy that made it.

254
00:13:16,962 --> 00:13:18,631
[audience laughing]

255
00:13:22,051 --> 00:13:26,764
'Cause I didn't go to fucking… I don't…
My… my… my math is fucked up, you know?

256
00:13:26,847 --> 00:13:29,558
And common sense
has helped me survive in my life.

257
00:13:29,642 --> 00:13:34,522
I don't know if you have any,
but, uh, common sense helped me survive.

258
00:13:34,605 --> 00:13:35,481
Serious.

259
00:13:35,564 --> 00:13:37,858
'Cause I remember
when I first got in the business, man,

260
00:13:37,942 --> 00:13:40,528
and I had this accountant,
and they was handling my money,

261
00:13:40,611 --> 00:13:42,112
but I really wasn't good at math.

262
00:13:42,196 --> 00:13:44,406
And I just used to say,
"Yeah, yeah, I understand,"

263
00:13:44,490 --> 00:13:45,991
but I didn't understand.

264
00:13:46,742 --> 00:13:50,454
I said, "So how the fuck can I get them
to stop stealing my money?"

265
00:13:50,996 --> 00:13:54,250
So you know what I did?
They had a big-ass meeting one day.

266
00:13:54,333 --> 00:13:57,419
I was sitting in the meeting.
I just dropped a gun out of my pocket.

267
00:13:58,337 --> 00:14:01,340
"Sorry about that.
I didn't mean to drop that."

268
00:14:01,924 --> 00:14:04,260
"I hope you guys have a great evening."

269
00:14:05,177 --> 00:14:07,805
Right then I said,
"They'll never steal nothing else."

270
00:14:07,888 --> 00:14:10,182
"If they were stealing,
they ain't gonna steal again."

271
00:14:10,266 --> 00:14:13,102
"'Cause I'mma shoot the shit out of you
if I find out."

272
00:14:13,185 --> 00:14:15,020
[audience laughing]

273
00:14:16,856 --> 00:14:18,941
There's all kind of beautiful women
in here.

274
00:14:19,024 --> 00:14:22,361
We got white, Spanish. We got all kinds…

275
00:14:22,444 --> 00:14:25,281
I've been with Black women my whole life.
I'mma just give it up.

276
00:14:25,364 --> 00:14:27,992
You know what I'm saying?
That's all I've ever been with.

277
00:14:28,576 --> 00:14:30,160
[audience cheering, whistling]

278
00:14:30,244 --> 00:14:31,161
And I'm tired.

279
00:14:31,245 --> 00:14:32,788
Y'all have wore me out.

280
00:14:32,872 --> 00:14:34,331
[audience laughing loudly]

281
00:14:34,415 --> 00:14:37,877
You heifers have took, uh,
millions of dollars from me.

282
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:39,962
[audience laughing]

283
00:14:44,758 --> 00:14:45,593
No, I'm serious.

284
00:14:45,676 --> 00:14:48,679
That's all I've ever been with was
Black women, man. Yeah.

285
00:14:48,762 --> 00:14:51,932
And if anything ever happens,
which I pray and hope not,

286
00:14:52,016 --> 00:14:53,893
that I'll never have to deal with
another Black…

287
00:14:53,976 --> 00:14:55,895
I'll get an Asian woman
that don't speak English.

288
00:14:55,978 --> 00:14:57,271
I'm tired of this shit.

289
00:14:57,897 --> 00:15:01,901
And all she gonna say is,
"Oh, Mike, your dick is too big, nigga."

290
00:15:01,984 --> 00:15:03,527
[audience laughing loudly]

291
00:15:03,611 --> 00:15:05,529
"You hurt a bitch, bro."

292
00:15:09,033 --> 00:15:10,951
"Oh, your dick is too big, nigga."

293
00:15:15,247 --> 00:15:17,082
I'mma say, "Go on
and turn that green tea on

294
00:15:17,166 --> 00:15:19,293
like I asked you to earlier today."

295
00:15:26,050 --> 00:15:29,553
There's a lot of guys in here sitting with
their-- I don't know if it's your wife,

296
00:15:29,637 --> 00:15:32,598
your… your woman,
your girlfriend, or whatever it is,

297
00:15:32,681 --> 00:15:34,892
but I just wanna tell you
your position with her.

298
00:15:34,975 --> 00:15:38,604
I don't care how much money you got.
That's your caretaker.

299
00:15:38,687 --> 00:15:40,814
[audience laughing, scattered applause]

300
00:15:40,898 --> 00:15:43,859
That's right.
These women are your caretaker.

301
00:15:44,485 --> 00:15:47,196
They might as well hold your arm
while you walk.

302
00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:49,323
[scattered applause]

303
00:15:49,406 --> 00:15:53,410
'Cause these women take care of us.
These are our caretakers.

304
00:15:53,494 --> 00:15:55,079
I'mma tell you something. Caretaker--

305
00:15:55,162 --> 00:15:56,622
-[woman cheers]
-Yeah, that's right.

306
00:15:56,705 --> 00:16:00,209
-[audience clapping, cheering, whistling]
-Women are caretakers.

307
00:16:00,292 --> 00:16:04,338
Your money ain't shit if you ain't got
nobody to help you take care of it.

308
00:16:04,421 --> 00:16:06,048
[audience laughing]

309
00:16:06,131 --> 00:16:07,508
Ain't that right, ladies?

310
00:16:07,591 --> 00:16:09,802
[women cheering]

311
00:16:09,885 --> 00:16:12,805
You need somebody
to take care of that money, man.

312
00:16:14,807 --> 00:16:17,851
And that's why God gave them
a little bit more sense than us.

313
00:16:17,935 --> 00:16:21,313
God made them a little smarter,
a lot more smarter than us.

314
00:16:21,397 --> 00:16:23,857
A lot of us are real slow
when it comes to…

315
00:16:23,941 --> 00:16:26,443
Most of us… All of us…

316
00:16:26,527 --> 00:16:27,861
[audience laughing loudly]

317
00:16:27,945 --> 00:16:31,240
…are usually dumb as a motherfucker
when it come to women.

318
00:16:31,949 --> 00:16:34,660
All right?
Now, women don't tell you you're dumb

319
00:16:34,743 --> 00:16:36,912
'cause they know
that'll shatter your life.

320
00:16:37,997 --> 00:16:39,999
That'll fuck your life clean up.

321
00:16:41,250 --> 00:16:43,293
But they will tell their friends.

322
00:16:43,377 --> 00:16:44,878
[audience laughing loudly]

323
00:16:44,962 --> 00:16:47,589
When they're on the phone
with their friends, and you're not around,

324
00:16:47,673 --> 00:16:48,674
that's what they say,

325
00:16:48,757 --> 00:16:52,177
"This is the dumbest motherfucker
that I've ever met."

326
00:16:52,261 --> 00:16:53,595
"God, he's dumb!"

327
00:16:54,763 --> 00:16:57,516
"Girl, let me tell you
what his dumbass did last night."

328
00:16:59,893 --> 00:17:03,147
"Big dum-dum has just walked in.
I'll call you back."

329
00:17:03,230 --> 00:17:04,940
[audience laughing, clapping]

330
00:17:05,024 --> 00:17:06,650
They got all kind of nerve.

331
00:17:09,028 --> 00:17:11,280
"Goofy's home. I'll call you back."

332
00:17:11,363 --> 00:17:14,450
[audience laughing loudly, clapping]

333
00:17:14,533 --> 00:17:17,911
We don't even know
they're saying this shit about us.

334
00:17:17,995 --> 00:17:19,580
[audience laughing]

335

Women have asked God

"You gonna put God on me
'cause I used your products?"

367
00:19:04,518 --> 00:19:08,063
Women break up with a man
and just go the fuck on with their life.

368
00:19:09,481 --> 00:19:10,607
You be looking at them like,

That's what women do.
When they break up with a man,

373
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,287
they go start doing new shit
you ain't never seen them do.

374
00:19:23,996 --> 00:19:26,832
Go get a haircut.
Gotta look like a rooster now.

"She looks horrible."

387

When you break up with your woman,

388
00:20:09,291 --> 00:20:12,836
it gives your friend a chance to say
all the shit he been wanting to say.

389
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:13,921
"Fuck her, man."

Women are powerful as hell.

They know how to turn
the whole fucking house on your ass.

[women whooping]

397
00:20:37,945 --> 00:20:40,072
Kids ain't talking to you.

398

Even the dog wasn't playing.
I said, "Fuck you too, you little bitch."

The whole family be in one bedroom.

402

You got the house to…
the rest to yourself.

403
00:20:56,755 --> 00:20:59,841
You see 'em bringing food
from the kitchen. "Love you, Daddy."

407
00:21:04,721 --> 00:21:07,557
You in the living room hungry
and lonely as hell.

408
00:21:08,058 --> 00:21:09,977
Ain't no TV on. Nothing.

[audience laughing loudly, clapping]

410
00:21:11,979 --> 00:21:13,272
And if you don't get with nobody,

411
00:21:13,355 --> 00:21:15,774
you just go to the Whole Foods
and just stand there

412
00:21:15,857 --> 00:21:19,236
with a whole bunch of other lonely-ass men
at the hot bar.

413
00:21:21,697 --> 00:21:23,824
There ain't no food at the house.

414
00:21:25,867 --> 00:21:28,078
I'mma tell y'all something
you may not know about me.

415
00:21:28,161 --> 00:21:30,789
When I was young,
I fucked a lot of older women, man.

416
00:21:30,872 --> 00:21:32,416
That was one of my things.

417
00:21:32,499 --> 00:21:35,335
A lot of my aunties' friends,
I fucked 'em.

418
00:21:35,419 --> 00:21:37,254
[audience laughing loudly]

419
00:21:38,338 --> 00:21:41,842
One of my aunties had a friend named Nell,
and boy, I was nailing her.

420
00:21:41,925 --> 00:21:43,302
[audience laughing]

421
00:21:44,636 --> 00:21:48,140
And she told me, "You better not tell."
I said, "I ain't gonna say shit."

422
00:21:48,223 --> 00:21:50,600
"Don't you… don't you say nothing."

423
00:21:51,727 --> 00:21:52,811
"That's the key."

424
00:21:54,896 --> 00:21:58,400
I've been watching a lot of Black men try
to figure out how to survive.

425
00:21:58,483 --> 00:22:01,695
And one of the hustles
and one of the great survival tactics is

426
00:22:01,778 --> 00:22:03,030
getting a white girl.

427
00:22:03,113 --> 00:22:06,158
[audience laughing]

428
00:22:06,241 --> 00:22:08,160
And when I see brothers with white girls,

429
00:22:08,243 --> 00:22:11,204
it look like they're holding onto
a life raft in the ocean.

430
00:22:11,288 --> 00:22:13,206
[audience laughing]

431
00:22:13,290 --> 00:22:16,126
And it look like they're floating.
[mimics waves crashing]

432
00:22:21,882 --> 00:22:23,216
No chance of drowning.

433
00:22:23,300 --> 00:22:27,429
You and a white girl just hit…
[mimics waves crashing] …hit a big wave.

434
00:22:27,512 --> 00:22:29,264
Hold on to the white girl.

435
00:22:30,849 --> 00:22:31,850
That's right.

436
00:22:32,517 --> 00:22:33,602
Yeah.

437
00:22:33,685 --> 00:22:36,813
Because especially if you got a white girl
and y'all are in the car,

438
00:22:36,897 --> 00:22:40,150
police pull you over, "Handle that, Sarah.
Just go out… get out of the car."

439
00:22:40,233 --> 00:22:42,277
[audience laughing, scattered applause]

440
00:22:42,361 --> 00:22:44,071
White girls are mean to the police.

441
00:22:44,154 --> 00:22:45,947
"Why are you pulling us over?"

442
00:22:46,031 --> 00:22:48,909
[audience laughing loudly]

443
00:22:54,790 --> 00:22:55,707
Black girl gets out,

444
00:22:55,791 --> 00:22:59,044
they're gonna hit that bitch in the head
with a billy club, lock her up,

445
00:22:59,127 --> 00:23:01,004
take her to the county jail.

446
00:23:01,088 --> 00:23:03,548
[audience laughing]

447
00:23:06,134 --> 00:23:08,720
That's another reason
why Black guys date white women.

448
00:23:08,804 --> 00:23:11,515
You ain't gotta fucking pay rent
when you live with them.

449
00:23:11,598 --> 00:23:13,308
[audience laughing]

450
00:23:13,892 --> 00:23:16,978
They feel so guilty about all the shit
that happened to Black people.

451
00:23:17,813 --> 00:23:20,732
That's why they don't charge you rent
when you live with them.

452
00:23:21,942 --> 00:23:24,653
You can pay a white girl the rent in dick.

453
00:23:24,736 --> 00:23:25,695
[audience laughing]

454
00:23:25,779 --> 00:23:30,325
I'mma give you $3,500 worth of this dick
to clear the water, lights, everything.

455
00:23:31,368 --> 00:23:34,996
Black women come to your goddamn job
looking for your check. You working.

She in the parking lot.
"I'm waiting on the check." [mumbling]

460

Black women, white women,
all different kinds of ethnicities.

463
00:24:01,481 --> 00:24:05,235
They're all different. A white woman,
you can cheat on her. She won't get mad.

464
00:24:05,318 --> 00:24:07,946
She'll say,
"Okay, that's it. You need help."

465
00:24:08,029 --> 00:24:09,739
[audience laughing loudly]

466
00:24:09,823 --> 00:24:11,825
"You really do. You need help."

467
00:24:13,410 --> 00:24:14,244
"I get it."

468
00:24:14,327 --> 00:24:17,747
"Someone fucked you when you were a kid.
Now you wanna fuck everybody else."

469
00:24:17,831 --> 00:24:20,667
You're like,
"Hey, when did I tell you that?"

I love you too.

497
00:25:46,586 --> 00:25:50,465
All these years, I thought
I was getting women off my looks.

498
00:25:50,549 --> 00:25:53,218
Nope, I've been spending money
the whole time.

00:25:59,266 --> 00:26:02,394
'Cause that's what I do.
First off, I buy you a purse.

00:26:03,562 --> 00:26:05,605
Yeah, I buy you a purse.

504
00:26:06,231 --> 00:26:07,857
Then I buy you a car.

Then I take you traveling.
"Yeah, you wanna go traveling?"

507
00:26:13,863 --> 00:26:15,448
"Only in the United States, though."

508
00:26:15,532 --> 00:26:19,786
"I'll take you to Florida or somewhere.
You haven't earned a passport yet."

509
00:26:22,163 --> 00:26:23,748
Then I get engaged to you.

510
00:26:23,832 --> 00:26:25,584
[chuckles]

511
00:26:26,835 --> 00:26:28,211
Then I marry you.

512
00:26:29,504 --> 00:26:31,339
Then you catch me cheating
and take me to court,

513
00:26:31,423 --> 00:26:32,924
take everything I got.

514
00:26:33,008 --> 00:26:34,384
[audience laughing loudly]

515
00:26:34,467 --> 00:26:35,719
In that order.

516
00:26:37,846 --> 00:26:41,182
'Cause I'mma tell you some real shit.
Women cheat in their head.

517
00:26:41,266 --> 00:26:42,517
You know what I mean?

518
00:26:43,351 --> 00:26:45,478
They think about who they wanna fuck.

519
00:26:47,397 --> 00:26:50,775
If you could see the men
that your woman is fucking in her head,

520
00:26:50,859 --> 00:26:53,069
you would get rid of her right now.

521
00:26:53,153 --> 00:26:54,404
[audience laughing]

522
00:26:54,487 --> 00:26:57,949
You'll be like,
"Melvin, the fucking UPS man?"

523
00:26:58,033 --> 00:26:58,908
[audience laughing]

524
00:26:58,992 --> 00:27:01,661
This nigga got the nice legs with the box.

525
00:27:01,745 --> 00:27:04,706
[audience laughing loudly, clapping]

526
00:27:07,917 --> 00:27:09,919
"I'mma kill his ass in the morning."

527
00:27:10,003 --> 00:27:11,963
[audience laughing]

528
00:27:12,047 --> 00:27:13,381
"Melvin, you're dead."

529
00:27:15,258 --> 00:27:16,259
[chuckles]

530
00:27:19,429 --> 00:27:22,057
And I'm looking at all the people in here,
you know what I'm saying?

531
00:27:22,140 --> 00:27:23,850
And I don't like to pick on white people,

532
00:27:23,933 --> 00:27:26,269
but I think
all white people are the police.

533
00:27:26,353 --> 00:27:27,771
[audience laughing loudly]

534
00:27:27,854 --> 00:27:31,316
That's right.
All white people are the fucking police.

535
00:27:31,816 --> 00:27:33,902
'Cause they can get 'em there
quicker than you.

536
00:27:35,904 --> 00:27:39,783
I was at the… uh… I was at the, uh,
Sporting Goods, Dick's Sporting Goods,

537
00:27:39,866 --> 00:27:41,868
and a Black dude had
all his shit up there.

538
00:27:41,951 --> 00:27:43,536
He got his shit at the counter,

539
00:27:43,620 --> 00:27:45,997
paying for his shit,
got all his shit up there.

540
00:27:46,081 --> 00:27:48,291
He told the lady,
"Hey, man, I gotta grab something else."

541
00:27:48,375 --> 00:27:51,544
She said, "If you get out of the line,
you see it's a long line,

542
00:27:51,628 --> 00:27:52,837
I gotta let the rest of…"

543
00:27:52,921 --> 00:27:55,924
He said, "Ma'am, relax.
I'm going right there."

544
00:27:56,007 --> 00:27:58,218
He… She said, "Man… Sir, if you do…"

545
00:27:58,301 --> 00:28:01,054
So he got mad.
He was like, "That's bullshit."

546
00:28:01,137 --> 00:28:02,889
Man, there was a white dude
standing in line,

547
00:28:02,972 --> 00:28:05,308
and he had nothing to do with it.

548
00:28:06,059 --> 00:28:07,560
He said, "Calm down, buddy."

549
00:28:07,644 --> 00:28:10,188
[audience laughing loudly]

550
00:28:17,696 --> 00:28:19,698
I said, "Oh, shit."

551
00:28:20,907 --> 00:28:24,619
So the Black dude got mad. "Motherfucker,
you ain't got nothing to do with this."

552
00:28:24,703 --> 00:28:26,538
I said, "Oh, here the shit go."

553
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:31,584
Do you know the fucking white guy pulled
some handcuffs out of his pocket?

554
00:28:31,668 --> 00:28:32,961
[audience laughing]

555
00:28:33,044 --> 00:28:35,130
And I don't know what it is
about Black people,

556
00:28:35,213 --> 00:28:38,007
but sometimes we just get relaxed
with the… when the police…

557
00:28:38,091 --> 00:28:41,594
We just… He just put his arm,
and he said, "Man, I ain't do nothing."

558
00:28:41,678 --> 00:28:45,014
[audience laughing loudly,
scattered applause]

559
00:28:45,098 --> 00:28:49,394
Do you know this fucking white guy
put the handcuffs on this dude

560
00:28:49,477 --> 00:28:52,981
and pulled his regular phone out
and called the police?

561
00:28:53,064 --> 00:28:54,441
[audience laughing]

562
00:28:54,524 --> 00:28:58,319
So everybody was like, "Wait a minute,
he ain't the fucking police."

563
00:28:58,403 --> 00:29:00,363
So the dude started going crazy.

564
00:29:00,447 --> 00:29:02,574
He's like,
"Motherfucker, take these handcuffs."

565
00:29:04,534 --> 00:29:06,369
Police show up 15 deep.

566
00:29:06,870 --> 00:29:09,080
Guns out, police everywhere.

567
00:29:09,748 --> 00:29:12,500
Locked the white guy up
for being a fake cop.

568
00:29:12,584 --> 00:29:14,461
Did you see… did you see that shit?

569
00:29:14,961 --> 00:29:17,589
Locked him up
for impersonating the police.

570
00:29:17,672 --> 00:29:19,674
[audience clapping]

571
00:29:20,258 --> 00:29:23,136
I'm looking for the Black guy,
I… I said, "Where's the Black guy?"

572
00:29:23,219 --> 00:29:25,305
He's still in handcuffs in the car.

573
00:29:26,431 --> 00:29:29,142
They've been looking for this motherfucker
for ten years.

574
00:29:34,314 --> 00:29:36,691
I said, "It's hard
to help a fugitive, man."

575
00:29:36,775 --> 00:29:38,026
I'm telling you, man.

576
00:29:41,154 --> 00:29:44,449
You know what's crazy? I've been thinking…
I thought I was Black all these years.

577
00:29:44,532 --> 00:29:48,953
I'm 55 years old.
I'm thinking I'm a Black… I'm a Black man.

578
00:29:49,037 --> 00:29:51,164
I've been calling white people "crackers"

579
00:29:51,247 --> 00:29:53,958
and all kinds of shit
I ain't supposed to be saying

580
00:29:54,042 --> 00:29:55,210
about white people.

581
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:01,007
I go to Africa.
I ain't never going back over there again.

582
00:30:01,090 --> 00:30:02,884
[audience laughing loudly]

583
00:30:04,636 --> 00:30:06,763
'Cause I'm thinking I'm Black. [mumbling]

584
00:30:06,846 --> 00:30:10,225
Man, I'm getting my bag
and two African dudes over there.

585
00:30:10,308 --> 00:30:12,143
That motherfucker said,
"You… They not like us."

586
00:30:12,227 --> 00:30:14,062
I said, "Who ain't like y'all?"

587
00:30:14,145 --> 00:30:15,146
[audience laughing]

588
00:30:15,230 --> 00:30:16,564
He's talking about me.

589
00:30:16,648 --> 00:30:18,024
[audience cheering]

590
00:30:19,234 --> 00:30:20,985
I said, "What the fuck
are you talking about?"

591
00:30:21,069 --> 00:30:24,030
He said, "No, you're not like us."
I said, "Who am I like?"

592
00:30:24,113 --> 00:30:27,534
He said, "I don't know."
I said, "Oh, that's some bullshit."

593
00:30:28,243 --> 00:30:30,245
I said, "I'm a Black man from Amer…"

594
00:30:30,328 --> 00:30:32,455
He said, "No, no, no, no, no."

595
00:30:33,289 --> 00:30:36,376
"You need to go do your ancestry.com…

596
00:30:36,459 --> 00:30:38,795
[audience laughing loudly]

597
00:30:38,878 --> 00:30:41,673
…to tell a little more about who you are."

598
00:30:42,257 --> 00:30:45,677
I said, "Okay, I'mma go do it."
Smart ass motherfucker. I'mma go do it.

599
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,096
I went and did it like a fucking dummy.

600
00:30:49,639 --> 00:30:52,559
You know how they got the box
to show you the ethnicity?

601
00:30:53,059 --> 00:30:55,228
White man popped up in the second box.

602
00:30:55,311 --> 00:30:56,855
[audience laughing loudly]

603
00:30:56,938 --> 00:30:58,022
I'm white.

604
00:31:00,608 --> 00:31:03,444
Look at my nose from the side.
That ain't no nigga nose.

605
00:31:04,737 --> 00:31:08,116
I look like the man on the dime.
Look at the little white man on the dime.

606
00:31:08,199 --> 00:31:10,243
[audience laughing, clapping, whistling]

607
00:31:10,326 --> 00:31:12,912

Ain't that a bitch?

You know, the crazy thing about life, man,

00:31:26,009 --> 00:31:28,511
a lot of people think
they're going to heaven, and they're not.

613
00:31:31,306 --> 00:31:32,473
Especially old people.

614
00:31:32,557 --> 00:31:34,893
They swear up and down
'cause they lived a lot of years,

615
00:31:34,976 --> 00:31:36,269
they're going to heaven.

616
00:31:37,937 --> 00:31:38,771
Yeah.

617
00:31:39,689 --> 00:31:43,401
"Oh, good Lord waiting on me."
"No, you did some shit in the '40s."

618
00:31:44,193 --> 00:31:47,155
"He gonna get your ass.
You ain't getting away with that."

619
00:31:47,238 --> 00:31:49,532
"Think you finna outlive your sin?"

620
00:31:49,616 --> 00:31:50,909
[audience laughing]

621
00:31:51,534 --> 00:31:53,786

[audience laughing]

630
00:32:26,194 --> 00:32:27,236
Yeah.

631
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:28,571
And you're gonna get to heaven.

632
00:32:28,655 --> 00:32:31,699
You're gonna get up there and see
a lot of people that didn't get in,

633
00:32:31,783 --> 00:32:34,035
like your friend's grandmother,
Miss Turner.

634

[audience laughing]

635
00:32:35,954 --> 00:32:39,540

[audience laughing]

637

"And I looked at Jesus.
He seen me and kept going in there."

638
00:32:48,091 --> 00:32:50,760
[audience laughing, scattered applause]

639
00:32:53,179 --> 00:32:56,224
"You've seen
the Bible ministry that I do."

640
00:32:58,810 --> 00:33:00,937
Mental health is real.
I'm telling you, man.

641
00:33:01,813 --> 00:33:03,898
Mental health is fucking real.

642
00:33:03,982 --> 00:33:06,359
And if you know anybody
having mental health problems, man,

643
00:33:06,442 --> 00:33:07,735
be really patient with them.

644
00:33:08,403 --> 00:33:10,571
You know?
'Cause it's really real, you know,

645
00:33:10,655 --> 00:33:12,699
and they need people that love them,
you know?

646
00:33:12,782 --> 00:33:15,702
It's like, I had a friend call me

647
00:33:15,785 --> 00:33:16,744
I said, "What's wrong?"

648
00:33:16,828 --> 00:33:19,622
He said, "I don't wanna do it no more."
I said, "Hey, man,

00:33:19,706 --> 00:33:21,916
we ain't gonna… we don't do that.
You know what I mean?"

650
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,502
"We got… we got faith in God.
We're gonna stay strong."

651
00:33:24,585 --> 00:33:26,421
"We're gonna give ourself another day."

652
00:33:26,504 --> 00:33:29,132
-You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
-[audience cheering, clapping]

653
00:33:29,215 --> 00:33:31,884
Yeah, we don't give up that soon.
You only get one life.

654
00:33:31,968 --> 00:33:33,553
We ain't giving up in this life.

655
00:33:33,636 --> 00:33:36,723
He said, "It's time to go, right?"
I said, "Yeah." I was talking to him.

656
00:33:36,806 --> 00:33:38,391
'Cause I know what he was going through,

657
00:33:38,474 --> 00:33:41,519
so I put some money in…
I… I sent him some money and shit.

658
00:33:41,602 --> 00:33:43,855
And I called him the next day.
I said, "How are you doing?"

659
00:33:43,938 --> 00:33:45,231
He said, "A lot better."

660
00:33:45,314 --> 00:33:48,276
[audience laughing loudly, clapping]

661
00:33:54,198 --> 00:33:55,783
[chuckles]

662
00:33:59,829 --> 00:34:01,706
Two weeks later, his wife called.

663
00:34:01,789 --> 00:34:03,666
"Oh, man,
Ray don't want to do it no more."

664
00:34:03,750 --> 00:34:05,626
I said, "Oh God, here we go."

665
00:34:05,710 --> 00:34:09,380
I said, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
let… let him do it this time."

666
00:34:09,464 --> 00:34:10,381
"I'm tired."

667
00:34:10,882 --> 00:34:12,884
"I'm tired. He's tired."

668
00:34:13,801 --> 00:34:15,011
"You're tired."

669
00:34:15,094 --> 00:34:16,262
[audience laughing]

670
00:34:16,345 --> 00:34:19,182
"The earth ain't a place for him.
Let him go on."

671
00:34:19,766 --> 00:34:22,435
"Everybody don't do well here.
I'm tired of it."

672
00:34:23,061 --> 00:34:26,773
And I don't have no more "save you" money
to save no more lives.

673
00:34:29,067 --> 00:34:30,777
I thought I was having a heart attack.

674
00:34:30,860 --> 00:34:32,612
I'm lying on the ground.
Paramedics and shit.

675
00:34:32,695 --> 00:34:34,238
This is real shit. I'm on the ground.

676
00:34:34,322 --> 00:34:36,240
Something told me to look up.

677
00:34:36,324 --> 00:34:39,535
I seen the police. I said,
"Wait a minute. No, no, no, no, no, no."

678
00:34:39,619 --> 00:34:42,580
"I didn't call y'all.
Get y'all's ass out of here."

679
00:34:42,663 --> 00:34:45,041
"Don't start that shit right there."

680
00:34:46,084 --> 00:34:49,128
'Cause while I'm on the ground,
they're in the house searching for shit.

681
00:34:49,212 --> 00:34:50,296
Them niggas in the back.

682
00:34:52,715 --> 00:34:53,633
They find something.

683
00:34:53,716 --> 00:34:56,803
"We're gonna get it after this.
We got you. Look what we got right here."

684
00:34:56,886 --> 00:35:00,556
"When they're done with you,
we'll look at what we got, so let 'em…"

685
00:35:02,683 --> 00:35:04,560
Now, I might, you know, be shining up here

686
00:35:04,644 --> 00:35:06,354
and, you know,
trying to look like something,

687
00:35:06,437 --> 00:35:09,607
but I ain't always, you know,
had a little gloss to me, y'all.

688
00:35:09,690 --> 00:35:12,151
I… I started off dusty, you know?

689
00:35:12,902 --> 00:35:14,987
Yeah, I started off real dusty.

690
00:35:15,071 --> 00:35:17,532
That's why they're talking about
cutting them food stamps off.

691
00:35:17,615 --> 00:35:20,201
I been there.
I had mine cut off a long time ago.

692
00:35:20,284 --> 00:35:21,661
[audience laughing]

693
00:35:21,744 --> 00:35:25,456
I've been on food stamps,
then got cut off and all that shit.

694
00:35:25,540 --> 00:35:28,501
I grew up
with a social worker coming to our house.

695
00:35:29,293 --> 00:35:32,171
Some white lady come in there,
and your mother, "Y'all go play."

696
00:35:32,255 --> 00:35:34,048
[audience laughing]

697
00:35:34,132 --> 00:35:36,634
You stay to listen to your mother.
Your mother be cussing her out.

698
00:35:36,717 --> 00:35:40,054
"Bitch, I don't have to tell you nothing
about my personal life."

699
00:35:40,138 --> 00:35:43,182
[audience laughing, clapping, cheering]

700
00:35:44,767 --> 00:35:46,811
Back in the day,
if you was on food stamps,

701
00:35:46,894 --> 00:35:48,646
you couldn't have a man at your house.

702
00:35:49,897 --> 00:35:52,733
So your uncle be over there,
and the social worker show up.

703
00:35:52,817 --> 00:35:55,736
"Get out of here, Tony."
You see your uncle running out.

704
00:35:55,820 --> 00:35:58,364
[audience laughing loudly]

705
00:36:01,242 --> 00:36:04,036
The lady, "We seen a man in your house."

706
00:36:04,662 --> 00:36:07,165
"We're gonna cut your food stamps."

707
00:36:07,748 --> 00:36:09,167
[laughing]

708
00:36:10,459 --> 00:36:12,837
That's crazy as a motherfucker, man.

709
00:36:14,088 --> 00:36:18,134
You know, I started off working jobs.
I had a lot of jobs, you know.

710
00:36:18,634 --> 00:36:21,095
I worked at Hardee's.
You ever heard of that?

711
00:36:21,179 --> 00:36:22,013
[audience] Yeah.

712
00:36:22,096 --> 00:36:24,223
That's some Midwest shit, yeah.

713
00:36:24,307 --> 00:36:25,683
I worked at Hardee's.

714
00:36:26,267 --> 00:36:29,187
I worked…
Every job I worked at, I sold drugs on it.

715
00:36:29,270 --> 00:36:32,148
[audience laughing]

716
00:36:32,231 --> 00:36:35,193
So I was the weed man on all my jobs.

717
00:36:36,194 --> 00:36:40,031
And the boss would wonder why I had more
than the rest of the employees.

718
00:36:40,781 --> 00:36:41,866
[chuckles]

719
00:36:42,366 --> 00:36:46,120
When you sell drugs on a job,
you can give out credit till Friday.

720
00:36:46,204 --> 00:36:48,414
[audience laughing]

721
00:36:49,498 --> 00:36:51,000
[chuckling]

722
00:36:53,336 --> 00:36:55,379
Then I graduated. [exhales]

723
00:36:56,047 --> 00:36:57,006
That's how I was doing.

724
00:36:57,089 --> 00:37:00,009
I was working at 7-Eleven.
I was bagging groceries and shit.

725
00:37:00,092 --> 00:37:04,805
And my friends that started selling crack
was coming in the store buying baggies.

726
00:37:04,889 --> 00:37:06,682
You know the little sandwich baggies?

727
00:37:06,766 --> 00:37:08,309
They was coming in there buying baggies.

728
00:37:08,392 --> 00:37:10,394
They had jewelry on.
They was laughing at me.

729
00:37:10,478 --> 00:37:13,397
"You still sacking groceries?"
I was like, "What y'all doing?"

730
00:37:13,940 --> 00:37:17,610
See, I had no business selling drugs
'cause I was a Jehovah's Witness.

731
00:37:17,693 --> 00:37:20,071
[audience laughing]

732
00:37:20,655 --> 00:37:23,282
How do you go door-to-door to car-to-car?

733
00:37:23,366 --> 00:37:24,867
[audience laughing]

734
00:37:26,244 --> 00:37:30,414
Yeah, I didn't have no business…
My mother didn't know I was selling crack.

735
00:37:30,498 --> 00:37:34,043
I was so excited to sell crack,
and I didn't know what I was doing.

736
00:37:34,126 --> 00:37:36,087
'Cause I was watching the videos and shit.

737
00:37:36,170 --> 00:37:39,757
I was listening to N.W.A. And I was like,
"Oh, I'm getting in this shit."

738
00:37:41,133 --> 00:37:42,927
And my big brother, John,
he just kept saying,

739
00:37:43,010 --> 00:37:45,054
"Yeah, I got a black suit for you."

740
00:37:45,137 --> 00:37:46,180
I'm like, "For what?"

741
00:37:46,264 --> 00:37:48,057
He's like, "Nigga,
you gonna get fucked up."

742
00:37:49,267 --> 00:37:51,352
But don't forget
I was a Jehovah's Witness,

743
00:37:51,435 --> 00:37:53,354
so I was a nice drug dealer.

744
00:37:54,063 --> 00:37:56,357
That's why the drug addicts liked me.

745
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,443
You know, I was real nice. I felt sorry
for the people that I was selling dope.

746
00:37:59,527 --> 00:38:02,863
Before I gave it to 'em, I'd say,
"You really need to change your life."

747
00:38:02,947 --> 00:38:04,156
[audience laughing]

748
00:38:04,240 --> 00:38:06,951
And then I'll sell it to them.
"Give me the money anyway."

749
00:38:07,034 --> 00:38:08,744
Somebody else is gonna get the money.

750
00:38:12,373 --> 00:38:14,917
And one time I sold it to an informant.

751
00:38:16,794 --> 00:38:20,256
It was a club called M&J's.
It was like a nightclub.

752
00:38:20,339 --> 00:38:21,716
And I had just copped.

753
00:38:21,799 --> 00:38:24,468
I had just got my…
You know how when you first cop?

754
00:38:24,552 --> 00:38:27,179
I just spent my money on my dope.
I bagged it up.

755
00:38:27,263 --> 00:38:30,891
And I'm sitting over in the car
at the park, and I sold some dope.

756
00:38:30,975 --> 00:38:33,894
The dude… Something told me, "Don't sell
this shit to this motherfucker."

757
00:38:33,978 --> 00:38:35,313
'Cause he… he was moving too fast.

758
00:38:35,396 --> 00:38:37,857
He's like, "Come on,
I gotta get… I gotta get up out of here."

759
00:38:39,108 --> 00:38:40,484
And I sold it to him, man.

760
00:38:40,568 --> 00:38:43,362
And as soon as I sold it to him,
and I got out the car,

761
00:38:43,446 --> 00:38:45,531
the motherfucking narcos rolled up on me.

762
00:38:45,614 --> 00:38:46,866
Took me to jail

763
00:38:46,949 --> 00:38:49,869
for dealing in possession of cocaine
over seven grams.

764
00:38:49,952 --> 00:38:53,372
And if you Google "Mike Epps mug shot"
on your phone right now,

765
00:38:53,456 --> 00:38:56,876
you will see
where I caught that case. 1990.

766
00:38:56,959 --> 00:38:58,169
Look at the picture.

767
00:38:59,587 --> 00:39:01,297
Look at the picture.
I'mma give you a second.

768
00:39:01,380 --> 00:39:02,798
Oh, you ain't got no phone?

769
00:39:02,882 --> 00:39:05,801
[audience laughing loudly, clapping]

770
00:39:09,597 --> 00:39:12,266
Imagine me in 1990.

771
00:39:14,018 --> 00:39:16,228
When you get home, Google that shit.

772
00:39:17,563 --> 00:39:19,774
Yeah, I'm sitting there, man.
The motherfucker got…

773
00:39:19,857 --> 00:39:22,068
Uh, and I kept trying to tell
the drug officer.

774
00:39:22,151 --> 00:39:24,070
I'm like, "Man, I… I'm… I'm a user."

775
00:39:24,153 --> 00:39:27,823
He said, "No, you ain't no user."
I said, "Yes, I am. I use drugs."

776
00:39:27,907 --> 00:39:30,451
He said,
"No, that was too much for a user."

777
00:39:30,951 --> 00:39:32,286
"You was selling it."

778
00:39:33,079 --> 00:39:37,249
So the guy who set me up was
a drug addict too. They couldn't find him.

779
00:39:37,333 --> 00:39:39,877
They was trying to make him come
to court to testify on me,

780
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:41,420
but they couldn't find him.

781
00:39:42,004 --> 00:39:45,466
So I went from 20 years to 8 years.

782
00:39:46,217 --> 00:39:47,885
They suspended five,

783
00:39:47,968 --> 00:39:51,514
and I did two years
in the Marion County Jail in my hometown.

784
00:39:51,597 --> 00:39:55,518
Two years in the Marion County Jail.

785
00:39:55,601 --> 00:39:57,937
And I'm sitting up
in the motherfucking jail, man, and I'm…

786
00:39:58,020 --> 00:40:00,398
I'm… I don't look that much different
than I do now.

787
00:40:00,481 --> 00:40:02,650
I ain't had no hair on my face,
had curly hair.

788
00:40:02,733 --> 00:40:04,652
I'm sitting in there with some real goons.

789
00:40:05,361 --> 00:40:08,864
And that story about don't drop the soap
and the predators,

790
00:40:08,948 --> 00:40:10,199
that shit's real.

791
00:40:10,282 --> 00:40:12,868
[audience laughing]

792
00:40:12,952 --> 00:40:15,704
I'm sitting up in the jail,
and a dude just walked up to…

793
00:40:15,788 --> 00:40:17,039
I don't know what the fuck…

794
00:40:17,123 --> 00:40:20,000
This motherfucker looked like
a swollen snake. He was big.

795
00:40:21,001 --> 00:40:24,004
He just walked up on me and said,
"I'mma hit you in your throat."

796
00:40:24,088 --> 00:40:25,256
I said, "What the fuck? What?"

797
00:40:25,339 --> 00:40:28,342
"Nigga, I ain't even did nothing.
I… I don't even know you."

798
00:40:28,968 --> 00:40:31,011
I guess he wanted to…
he was trying to fuck me.

799
00:40:31,095 --> 00:40:32,221
That's how they do it. They…

800
00:40:33,305 --> 00:40:34,265
They bully you,

801
00:40:34,348 --> 00:40:37,309
and then if you let them bully you,
they bully you.

802
00:40:38,144 --> 00:40:40,855
So he… I guess he thought
he was trying to set me up for that.

803
00:40:40,938 --> 00:40:42,523
I said, "Oh, I gotta figure something."

804
00:40:42,606 --> 00:40:43,566
I kept saying to myself,

805
00:40:43,649 --> 00:40:46,193
"I'mma bite this nigga
if… if nothing else."

806
00:40:46,861 --> 00:40:49,238
A bite is a bad motherfucker, yeah.

807
00:40:49,738 --> 00:40:52,616
Somebody get you on the ground, bite 'em.
They're getting up.

808
00:40:54,076 --> 00:40:55,953
I'm biting the shit out you, nigga.

809
00:40:56,036 --> 00:40:58,247
[audience laughing]

810
00:40:58,330 --> 00:40:59,248
Big Mac style.

811
00:40:59,331 --> 00:41:03,294
Wherever you got me on the ground,
I'm biting the fuck out of you.

812
00:41:03,377 --> 00:41:05,212
[audience laughing]

813
00:41:05,296 --> 00:41:08,591
Nigga didn't know I was finna use my mouth
on that nigga for real.

814
00:41:08,674 --> 00:41:10,885
[audience laughing loudly]

815
00:41:15,848 --> 00:41:19,768
I'm sitting up in the jail. I'm… I'm like,
"Damn." Boy, I'm nervous as hell.

816
00:41:19,852 --> 00:41:22,104
And I seen a dude, man, named Louie.

817
00:41:22,188 --> 00:41:25,816
He was big.
He looked crazier than the other dude.

818
00:41:25,900 --> 00:41:28,360
And he said, "Mike?" I said, "Louie?"

819
00:41:29,111 --> 00:41:30,654
And he was a drug addict.

820
00:41:30,738 --> 00:41:32,990
This dude, Louie, on the street,
he was a drug addict.

821
00:41:33,073 --> 00:41:36,285
On the street, he was real shriveled up.
He was dirty.

822
00:41:36,368 --> 00:41:40,039
But in jail, when he get his rest,
and he's eating and working out,

823
00:41:40,122 --> 00:41:41,790
he looked like a monster.

824
00:41:42,500 --> 00:41:44,919
And I said, "Louie?"
He said, "Mike, what you doing here?"

825
00:41:45,002 --> 00:41:47,505
I said, "Man, I was trying to sell
some dope and got caught."

826
00:41:47,588 --> 00:41:51,300
He said, "Man, you know you ain't the type
of person who's supposed to be in here."

827
00:41:51,383 --> 00:41:53,302
He said, "How's your sister?"
He knew my sister.

828
00:41:53,385 --> 00:41:56,597
He said, "How's Julie doing?"
I said, "Man, she's doing good."

829
00:41:56,680 --> 00:42:00,392
He said, "Man, if you have any problems…"
I said, "I got one right now."

830
00:42:00,476 --> 00:42:03,395
[audience laughing loudly, clapping]

831
00:42:08,275 --> 00:42:11,654
I said, "God is good, nigga,
and I got favor. You hear me?"

832
00:42:11,737 --> 00:42:12,947
"I got favor."

833
00:42:14,573 --> 00:42:15,699
He said, "Who?"

834
00:42:15,783 --> 00:42:18,410
I said,
"He's standing over there right now."

835
00:42:19,495 --> 00:42:23,874
He said, "Point him out." I said, "No."
I said, "He just… uh… he's looking at us."

836
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:26,627
'Cause I didn't know if I pointed at him…

837
00:42:26,710 --> 00:42:29,296
I said, "I ain't pointing at him.
He's over there."

838
00:42:30,047 --> 00:42:33,592
Man, he went over there
and whispered in the dude's ear.

839
00:42:33,676 --> 00:42:38,097
And when he backed up, he came back to me.
He said, "Yeah, Mike, check this out."

840
00:42:38,180 --> 00:42:41,433
"The dude right there,
he's a… he's a bully, but he's a bitch."

841
00:42:41,517 --> 00:42:44,019
"He ain't supposed to look at you,
talk to you, walk past you."

842
00:42:44,103 --> 00:42:45,563
I said, "Oh, thank you."

843
00:42:45,646 --> 00:42:47,231
So the whole time I was in jail,

844
00:42:47,314 --> 00:42:49,858
this other dude
was walking past me like this…

845
00:42:49,942 --> 00:42:51,235
[audience laughing]

846
00:42:51,318 --> 00:42:54,405
I said, "Oh Lord,
what the fuck did he say to him?"

847
00:42:54,488 --> 00:42:56,198
[audience laughing]

848
00:42:56,782 --> 00:42:57,616
Thank you.

849
00:42:59,785 --> 00:43:01,704
So, you know, I got out of jail.

850
00:43:02,329 --> 00:43:04,999
I started sleeping on my sister's couch.
I ain't had nowhere to stay.

851
00:43:05,583 --> 00:43:08,168
You know, I just had a new baby,
which is my daughter Bria.

852
00:43:09,545 --> 00:43:10,671
My oldest daughter.

853
00:43:12,047 --> 00:43:14,675
You know, if I could do
anything in the world, man,

854
00:43:14,758 --> 00:43:19,597
if I could explain to my daughter
that I was a kid when I had you,

855
00:43:20,180 --> 00:43:23,142
I wasn't gonna be a good dad.
You know what I mean?

856
00:43:23,225 --> 00:43:26,437
Sometimes it takes years
for you to become a good dad.

857
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:29,315
You know?
It's called babies having babies.

858
00:43:29,815 --> 00:43:31,400
And when your baby is mad at you

859
00:43:31,483 --> 00:43:34,528
'cause she don't realize
you was a baby when you had her.

860
00:43:34,612 --> 00:43:36,655
-So it take time to grow.
-[man] Yeah.

861
00:43:36,739 --> 00:43:39,450
So I had my daughter.
I'm sleeping on my sister's couch.

862
00:43:39,533 --> 00:43:41,035
I ain't got no education.

863
00:43:41,118 --> 00:43:42,411
I ain't got no job.

864
00:43:42,494 --> 00:43:45,456
Selling motherfucking drugs.
I ain't got no money.

865
00:43:45,539 --> 00:43:47,791
I owe a couple drug dealers money
in the city.

866
00:43:47,875 --> 00:43:50,794
I'm lying on the couch,
and I'll never forget my baby mama.

867
00:43:50,878 --> 00:43:53,213
She had an auntie named Janet, real sweet.

868
00:43:53,297 --> 00:43:55,049
Used to come to Indiana from Atlanta.

869
00:43:55,132 --> 00:43:58,218
She said, "Mike, hear you're having
a hard time in Indianapolis."

870
00:43:58,302 --> 00:44:02,014
"If you ever need to get out
of Indianapolis and move to Atlanta

871
00:44:02,097 --> 00:44:04,141
and change your life,
you can stay with me."

872
00:44:04,224 --> 00:44:07,478
So I… I said, "Okay,
I'm gonna hold you to that, Janet."

873
00:44:07,561 --> 00:44:10,856
Meanwhile, they got a comedy competition
on the radio.

874
00:44:10,939 --> 00:44:15,319
"Come to next week's comedy competition
here at Club Seville's."

875
00:44:15,402 --> 00:44:19,073
And I'm… I got two buddies,
a buddy named Otis Brown, Gary Bates.

876
00:44:19,156 --> 00:44:19,990
They betted me.

877
00:44:20,074 --> 00:44:24,536
They said, "Mike, you funny around here.
You funny in jail, you all that shit."

878
00:44:24,620 --> 00:44:27,456
"But I bet you can't go up there
and be funny in front of people."

879
00:44:27,539 --> 00:44:28,540
I said, bet.

880
00:44:28,624 --> 00:44:31,335
We go to Club Seville's. They bet me $500.

881
00:44:31,418 --> 00:44:33,671
When we walk in the club,
it's a bar and grill.

882
00:44:33,754 --> 00:44:37,716
Nothing but street motherfuckers in there.
There's smoke everywhere.

883
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:39,301
I'm standing in the back getting drunk.

884
00:44:39,385 --> 00:44:42,513
I said, "I'm scared as a motherfucker.
I'm gonna tear their ass up."

885
00:44:42,596 --> 00:44:46,100
I'm in the back getting drunk.
They're booing everybody off the stage.

886
00:44:46,642 --> 00:44:49,144
I get up on the stage.
I make everybody laugh.

887
00:44:49,228 --> 00:44:51,855
-Boom! Everybody laughing.
-[audience cheering]

888
00:44:51,939 --> 00:44:54,233
First time I went on stage.

889
00:44:54,775 --> 00:44:56,944
The next week, my name was on the radio.

890
00:44:57,027 --> 00:45:01,240
"Come next week, Club Seville's.
Mike Epps, new comedian." [mumbling]

891
00:45:01,323 --> 00:45:04,868
So now the whole city coming up to me.
"Man, I heard you on the radio."

892
00:45:04,952 --> 00:45:07,371
"You doing your comedy?"
I said, "Yeah, I'm doing my comedy."

893
00:45:07,454 --> 00:45:11,917
I'd invited my mama, my neighborhood,
everybody out the next week.

894
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:13,127
[audience whooping]

895
00:45:13,210 --> 00:45:16,588
I went and got a suit,
had the tie, everything.

896
00:45:16,672 --> 00:45:20,509
As soon as I walked up in the club,
I seen two dudes I owe some money to.

897
00:45:20,592 --> 00:45:21,719
I said, "Oh, Lord."

898
00:45:22,386 --> 00:45:25,639
That fucking radio done told everybody
to come up here.

899
00:45:26,765 --> 00:45:30,144
They like, "I know where to find his ass
at that comedy show next week."

900
00:45:31,061 --> 00:45:34,106
Two motherfuckers I owe money to,
so I'm nervous now.

901
00:45:34,189 --> 00:45:36,817
Do you know
I went up on that stage and bombed?

902
00:45:36,900 --> 00:45:39,027
Everybody booed me off the stage.

903
00:45:39,111 --> 00:45:40,279
Wasn't funny.

904
00:45:40,362 --> 00:45:42,740
I'll never forget.
I'm riding down the street.

905
00:45:42,823 --> 00:45:44,783
I'm riding down Michigan Street.

906
00:45:44,867 --> 00:45:47,953
And, uh, I'm crying
'cause I'm like, "Damn. I…"

907
00:45:48,036 --> 00:45:52,124
I didn't… I… I've been a failure
since the first grade.

908
00:45:52,875 --> 00:45:56,587
Fuck a life.
I've been failing since a baby.

909
00:45:56,670 --> 00:45:59,006
[audience laughing loudly]

910
00:45:59,089 --> 00:46:01,508
You know how that feel to keep failing?

911
00:46:01,592 --> 00:46:04,636
So I'm riding, and I…
and I called my baby mama's auntie.

912
00:46:04,720 --> 00:46:06,096
When she came, I said, "Janet,"

913
00:46:06,180 --> 00:46:08,640
I said, "remember
when you said I can come to Atlanta?"

914
00:46:08,724 --> 00:46:11,268
"I'm ready to get away from here.
I'm trying to be a comedian."

915
00:46:11,351 --> 00:46:13,437
She said, "Mike, I got bad news."
I said, "What?"

916
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:15,773
She said, "Mike, I got married."

917
00:46:15,856 --> 00:46:18,442
She said, "I got married.
I got a new husband. He's different."

918
00:46:18,525 --> 00:46:20,861
"He ain't as cool as, you know,
I thought he was."

919
00:46:20,944 --> 00:46:23,781
I went anyway. I said, "Fuck that shit."

920
00:46:24,448 --> 00:46:27,326
I went and bought
a bus ticket from Greyhound.

921
00:46:27,409 --> 00:46:29,912
My sister gave me $85 in food stamps.

922
00:46:29,995 --> 00:46:33,165
That's when you could rip them out
of the little book. [mimics paper ripping]

923
00:46:34,041 --> 00:46:35,459
I had $85 of food stamps.

924
00:46:35,542 --> 00:46:38,670
And I had a .38
that had a pin in it fucked up.

925
00:46:38,754 --> 00:46:41,924
And it skipped like this.
Click, click, wow!

926
00:46:42,007 --> 00:46:44,718
Click, click, click, wow!

927
00:46:45,219 --> 00:46:47,679
So if you stayed for them clicks,

928
00:46:49,056 --> 00:46:50,766
it was gonna pop you on the third one.

929
00:46:50,849 --> 00:46:54,478
So you can stay there and look at
the raggedy-ass gun if you want to.

930
00:46:54,561 --> 00:46:55,604
It's gonna pop.

931
00:46:55,687 --> 00:46:57,773
[audience laughing]

932
00:47:01,610 --> 00:47:04,780
So by the time I get to Atlanta,
I called Janet on the phone.

933
00:47:04,863 --> 00:47:06,990
So I said, "Janet, I'm in Atlanta."

934
00:47:07,074 --> 00:47:09,868
She said, "Mike, it's 3:00 in the morning.
What you doing in Atlanta?"

935
00:47:09,952 --> 00:47:11,286
I said, "I came anyway."

936
00:47:11,370 --> 00:47:13,497
She said, "I told you
you couldn't come down."

937
00:47:13,580 --> 00:47:15,833
I said, "Janet, I'll tell you what."

938
00:47:16,667 --> 00:47:21,296
"In the morning, come pick me up
and take me to the Salvation Army."

939
00:47:22,089 --> 00:47:23,674
I was gonna… I… This is how…

940
00:47:23,757 --> 00:47:26,635
I wanted to change my life that bad

941
00:47:27,469 --> 00:47:31,181
that I told her, "Come pick me up,
take me to the Salvation Army."

942
00:47:31,265 --> 00:47:32,724
"I'mma sleep with the homeless people

943
00:47:32,808 --> 00:47:35,018
'cause I just wanted
to get the fuck away from Indiana

944
00:47:35,102 --> 00:47:36,937
'cause I knew I was gonna die
or go to prison."

945
00:47:37,020 --> 00:47:38,355
I said, "I got a talent."

946
00:47:38,438 --> 00:47:41,400
I found my…
I found my talent, which was comedy.

947
00:47:41,483 --> 00:47:43,151
I knew I was going to get down there.

948
00:47:43,235 --> 00:47:44,570
So she was riding with me.

949
00:47:44,653 --> 00:47:47,698
And we're riding down 85,
and she started crying.

950
00:47:48,907 --> 00:47:49,741
And, uh…

951
00:47:50,284 --> 00:47:51,910
[audience murmurs]

952
00:47:51,994 --> 00:47:53,495
[voice breaking] …she said, "Mike…"

953
00:47:53,579 --> 00:47:56,415
[audience clapping, cheering, whistling]

954
00:48:04,756 --> 00:48:07,718
She said, "Mike, I can't take you to…
I can't take you to the homeless."

955
00:48:07,801 --> 00:48:09,177
"I can't take you there."

956
00:48:09,261 --> 00:48:12,764
She said, "You can come and stay with me,
but my husband works second shift."

957
00:48:12,848 --> 00:48:14,725
"You can't come out the basement
till 3 o'clock."

958
00:48:14,808 --> 00:48:17,978
[audience laughing loudly, clapping]

959
00:48:18,729 --> 00:48:21,648
So I'm in the basement hiding
like Anne Frank.

960
00:48:23,483 --> 00:48:27,237
I hear the TV on. I hear people walking,
but I can't move yet.

961
00:48:28,614 --> 00:48:30,032
About two weeks then went past.

962
00:48:30,115 --> 00:48:33,327
I done snuck upstairs, man,
and he hadn't went to work.

963
00:48:34,328 --> 00:48:35,370
I come up out the basement.

964
00:48:35,454 --> 00:48:37,998
I got a pair of boxer drawers on
and a bowl of cereal.

965
00:48:38,081 --> 00:48:40,334
And when he turned around,
he said, "Who the fuck is you?"

966
00:48:40,417 --> 00:48:43,295
I said, "I'm Janet's nephew."
He said, "I don't know no Janet's nephew."

967
00:48:43,378 --> 00:48:46,548
So he called her on the phone.
She talked to him.

968
00:48:46,632 --> 00:48:47,549
Me and him sat down.

969
00:48:47,633 --> 00:48:50,886
I said, "Hey, man,
I'm just trying to save my life."

970
00:48:51,970 --> 00:48:53,764
I told him everything I was trying to do.

971
00:48:53,847 --> 00:48:56,642
The man let me live with them
for a whole year.

972
00:48:57,142 --> 00:48:59,645
-Got me a job.
-[audience cheering, clapping]

973
00:49:03,523 --> 00:49:06,777
So a whole year went past.
I got my tax check.

974
00:49:06,860 --> 00:49:10,447
And I claimed one of my nephews on it,
so I could get an extra $500 on there.

975
00:49:10,530 --> 00:49:13,617
You know how back in the day
you can claim somebody on the check?

976
00:49:13,700 --> 00:49:16,995
I claimed my nephew on the taxes,
got an extra $500.

977
00:49:17,913 --> 00:49:20,499
T.K. Kirkland,
a comedian named T.K. Kirkland.

978
00:49:20,582 --> 00:49:23,085
You heard of T.K.?
T to the motherfucking K?

979
00:49:23,627 --> 00:49:26,880
He said, "You a bad motherfucker, man,
but you ain't gonna make it in Atlanta."

980
00:49:27,464 --> 00:49:28,382
"Where I got to go?"

981
00:49:28,465 --> 00:49:30,759
"You either gotta go
to Hollywood or New York."

982
00:49:30,842 --> 00:49:32,260
I said, "I'm going to Hollywood."

983
00:49:32,344 --> 00:49:34,972
He said, "You ain't ready."
He said, "You need to move to New York."

984
00:49:35,055 --> 00:49:37,349
The next week I was gone to New York.

985
00:49:37,432 --> 00:49:39,935
He had a manager about this big
named Dave Klingman.

986
00:49:40,018 --> 00:49:43,438
Looked like a little Jewish dude.
Looked like Danny DeVito.

987
00:49:44,773 --> 00:49:47,275
I went to New York,
and I met him at Port Authority.

988
00:49:47,359 --> 00:49:48,318
He picked me up,

989
00:49:48,402 --> 00:49:51,822
took me all around New York,
started taking me in comedy clubs.

990
00:49:51,905 --> 00:49:53,824
The first comedy club I went in,

991
00:49:53,907 --> 00:49:57,244
my man Royale that's directing the show,
he was hosting it.

992
00:49:57,327 --> 00:50:00,080
It was snow all on the ground.
It was right in Brooklyn.

993
00:50:00,163 --> 00:50:03,875
He… After he took me to the comedy club,
he said, "Man, you good."

994
00:50:03,959 --> 00:50:05,752
"But you need… you need a little work,

995
00:50:05,836 --> 00:50:07,879
so you're gonna have to go
back to Indiana."

996
00:50:08,547 --> 00:50:11,383
I'm sadder than a motherfucker.
I gotta go back to Indiana.

997
00:50:11,466 --> 00:50:15,095
I'm crying 'cause I know it's over with.
I done failed again.

998
00:50:15,887 --> 00:50:20,100
On my way back there,
every white person got a Black friend.

999
00:50:20,684 --> 00:50:21,643
Not every white person,

1000
00:50:21,727 --> 00:50:23,687
but a lot of you motherfuckers got
Black friends.

1001
00:50:23,770 --> 00:50:25,272
[audience laughing, clapping]

1002
00:50:25,355 --> 00:50:29,192
This little Jewish dude had
a Black friend named TC.

1003
00:50:29,776 --> 00:50:33,363
And TC, he said, "Man," he said,
"I wanna introduce you to somebody."

1004
00:50:33,447 --> 00:50:36,033
'Cause I was talking shit.
I'm from the hood and shit.

1005
00:50:36,116 --> 00:50:39,870
I done called the white men,
three, four white men, all kind of shit.

1006
00:50:39,953 --> 00:50:43,081
"I'mma introduce you to somebody."
So he introduced me to TC.

1007
00:50:43,165 --> 00:50:47,753
TC was a professional squatter.
He knew how to squat.

1008
00:50:47,836 --> 00:50:50,213
He… he became friends
with real rich white people

1009
00:50:50,297 --> 00:50:52,841
and squatted at their house
while they're gone out of town.

1010
00:50:54,009 --> 00:50:56,094
So he was letting me live
in these white people's house

1011
00:50:56,178 --> 00:50:57,012
while they was gone.

1012
00:50:57,095 --> 00:51:00,557
He's like, "Get out of here by Tuesday."
I'm in the white people's house.

1013
00:51:01,058 --> 00:51:03,977
Donny Lalonde…
There was a boxer named Donny Lalonde.

1014
00:51:04,061 --> 00:51:06,730
I'm in his apartment, right?
I'm down in SoHo.

1015
00:51:06,813 --> 00:51:09,566
I'm living in his apartment,
but they're selling the apartment.

1016
00:51:09,649 --> 00:51:12,360
I'm lying in the motherfucker on an…
on an air mattress.

1017
00:51:12,444 --> 00:51:13,695
Me and a girl lying in there.

1018
00:51:13,779 --> 00:51:16,031
And the lady walks in
to show somebody the…

1019
00:51:16,114 --> 00:51:16,990
"Oh God!"

1020
00:51:17,074 --> 00:51:19,659
I said, "I'm getting out of here.
I ain't supposed to be in here."

1021
00:51:22,996 --> 00:51:26,917
The first show that I ever did in New York
was called New York Undercover.

1022
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,377
I don't know
if you remember New York Undercover.

1023
00:51:29,461 --> 00:51:33,090
But it had Malik Yoba
and another little Spanish dude.

1024
00:51:33,173 --> 00:51:34,424
[audience clapping, cheering]

1025
00:51:34,508 --> 00:51:36,718
Yeah, then I did Showtime at the Apollo.

1026
00:51:36,802 --> 00:51:40,472
Remember ♪ Showtime at the Apollo ♪ ?

1027
00:51:40,555 --> 00:51:44,726
But I… I came as an entertainer,
and you know who I was on the show with?

1028
00:51:44,810 --> 00:51:46,186
Destiny's Child. That's…

1029
00:51:46,269 --> 00:51:48,188
They wasn't even nobody yet.

1030
00:51:48,271 --> 00:51:51,691
They got out of an old raggedy-ass limo.
They walked up in the thing.

1031
00:51:52,567 --> 00:51:55,487
We was all dusty.
I'm telling you some real shit.

1032
00:51:56,029 --> 00:51:59,157
This early '90s. We all dusty.
Ain't nobody got shit.

1033
00:52:00,617 --> 00:52:03,495
Man, I did the Apollo
then I got on Def Comedy Jam.

1034
00:52:03,578 --> 00:52:05,080

[audience cheering, clapping]

1036
00:52:06,706 --> 00:52:09,251
Then I got on the Def Comedy Jam Tour.

1037
00:52:09,835 --> 00:52:13,213
I said, "Oh, man, I gotta go now.
I gotta… It's time to go to LA."

1038
00:52:13,296 --> 00:52:15,841
So I took a bus from New York to LA.

1039
00:52:15,924 --> 00:52:17,759
Took seven days to get to here.

1040
00:52:17,843 --> 00:52:19,845
[audience laughing]

1041
00:52:19,928 --> 00:52:22,514
I called a buddy named Red Grant.
I said, "Man, I'm out here."

1042
00:52:22,597 --> 00:52:24,599
He said, "Man, I ain't got no furniture
in my house,

1043
00:52:24,683 --> 00:52:26,393
but you come sleep on my floor."

1044
00:52:26,476 --> 00:52:29,437
I went over to Red Grant's house,
sleeping on his floor.

1045
00:52:29,521 --> 00:52:33,066
While I'm staying in the apartments,
it was apartments called Watseka Trails.

1046
00:52:33,150 --> 00:52:35,819
I'm living in apartments
over at Watseka Trails.

1047
00:52:35,902 --> 00:52:38,697
I ran into a little young dude, man,
but he had a good-ass heart.

1048
00:52:38,780 --> 00:52:40,740
He was a good dude. His name was Marcus.

1049
00:52:40,824 --> 00:52:42,617
He was telling everybody
he was my manager.

1050
00:52:42,701 --> 00:52:44,870
We riding around. "This… this my manager."

1051
00:52:45,745 --> 00:52:48,832
Uh, but I didn't know who he was.
I didn't know. [chuckles]

1052
00:52:48,915 --> 00:52:50,709
People was like,
"You know who that is though."

1053
00:52:50,792 --> 00:52:54,504
I said, "No, he's nice to me.
I don't know what the fuck he do."

1054
00:52:54,588 --> 00:52:56,173
[audience laughing]

1055
00:52:57,257 --> 00:52:58,425

We at The Comedy Store,

1058
00:53:01,261 --> 00:53:04,973
and when I got offstage, Marcus said,
"Man, Ice Cube wants to holler at you."

1059
00:53:05,056 --> 00:53:06,433
When I turned around,

1060
00:53:06,516 --> 00:53:09,102
Ice Cube and John Singleton
were standing right there.

1061
00:53:09,186 --> 00:53:11,313
[audience cheering, clapping]

1062
00:53:11,396 --> 00:53:12,647
I said, "Oh, man."

1063
00:53:14,399 --> 00:53:17,903
Ice Cube said, "What up?"
I said, "What's up?"

1064
00:53:18,695 --> 00:53:21,781
He said, "Can you act?"
I said, "Hell yeah, I can act."

1065
00:53:21,865 --> 00:53:23,700
[audience laughing]

1066
00:53:24,242 --> 00:53:25,827
I started auditioning for the movie.

1067
00:53:25,911 --> 00:53:28,580
He made me audition for that movie
about seven times.

1068
00:53:29,164 --> 00:53:32,876
Every time I thought I had the movie,
he looked at me, kept going like this…

1069
00:53:32,959 --> 00:53:34,211
Like, "You got the movie."

1070
00:53:34,794 --> 00:53:37,005
And I was looking at him like,
"Thank you."

1071
00:53:37,088 --> 00:53:38,423
[audience laughing]

1072
00:53:38,506 --> 00:53:42,093

My mother was living in some apartments,
man, and I called my mother.

1078
00:53:57,067 --> 00:53:58,526
I said, "Mama, what you want?"

00:53:58,610 --> 00:54:01,529
She said, "Just buy me a washer and dryer.
That's all I want."

I said, "I'mma buy you a house."

Sometimes she pulled back.

1091
00:54:30,100 --> 00:54:32,560
She said, "They got ways
of finding out everything."

00:57:26,568 --> 00:57:27,902
I was delusional.

1153
00:57:29,070 --> 00:57:33,658
And I'd just like to tell y'all
that it's okay to be delusional.

1154
00:57:34,659 --> 00:57:38,955
You know what I'm saying?
Sometimes… you gotta be delusional.

1155
00:57:39,456 --> 00:57:46,004
You gotta be outta your motherfucking mind
to be successful, to become great.

1156
00:57:47,005 --> 00:57:48,047
You gotta be blissful.

1157
00:57:48,131 --> 00:57:51,593
[audience clapping, whistling, cheering]

1158
00:57:51,676 --> 00:57:53,970
Delusion comes from trauma.

1159
00:57:54,596 --> 00:57:56,556
It comes from not being accepted.

1160
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:01,644
So whatever you gotta do to make it,
to become who you need to become,

1161
00:58:02,395 --> 00:58:03,688
stay delusional.

1162
00:58:03,771 --> 00:58:05,732
I'm Mike Epps, man. I love y'all.

1163
00:58:06,483 --> 00:58:08,026
Yaamava'!
