Every day I think about that. I gotta get back out here and get a smooth sailing back into society. It's still a lil rough but I'm gonna be alright though cause I'm here. Once my career, my vision gets bigger, I'll make another vision, then I'll make another vision; and I keep conquering myself. You gotta remember, you at war with 2 people. You at war with yourself and the world. You trying to get success and the biggest thing in the world is to bring success upon yourself. You wanna be happy about yourself. You sleep better when you're happy. You wake up better when you're happy. You've done something creative for your life and you wanna be happy. That happiness brings a bigger vision. When you have a dark vision, a dark path, you can't see much. That's impossible. The light is not going to shine in its right direction for you, so you can't see much. But when you're happy, it brings a gift to you. That gives you the understanding of life. You can achieve more and that's the path I'm on. Even when people – I don't want to say hate on me, they misunderstand me, because you can't hate on me cause you don't know me. I know where I come from. You don't where I come from. When these people understand that, they start accepting you a little bit more. They start knowing you, your path, they start agreeing with you a lil bit more. Right now, it's hard for a lot of brothers but don't judge them too bad. Be a lil easy on them. Show them the gift of happiness so they can achieve success. I'm happy. I can't even complain. I'm happy. I sat in that prison for 20 years. I'm happy. You can say you don't like me. I'm living my life my way. I'm enjoying my freedom my way every single day. If I don't want to wake up and I don't want to talk to no one, that's my enjoyment for the day. page 18 If I want to go to sleep, sleep all day and watch cowboy movies, that's my enjoyment for the day. I owe that to myself and no one else. You owe things to yourself and no one else. Once you understand that, that brings that happiness that you need, that you're missing. You owe yourself something. This is your birthright. When you understand that, like that light that's shining on me right now, that's the light that's gonna come upon you. When people see you, they see you happy. Peace.
