so I want to challenge y'all

to say something a little different,

you know, to say something

that's going to touch somebody's heart,

move them to change their life,

inspire them in some way.

So I want you all to think back

to a moment in your life

that touched, moved,

or inspired you

and-and share that with us,

because when you share

a little bit of yourself,

you open others to share

a little bit of themselves.

- Yo, what you want?

I just want to know if I could

stay here just for the night.

Don't go thinking you're going

to sleep on a bed or nothing.

Go back, go sleep on a rug

or something,

'cause you see them three boys

back there?

Them are my sons.

Them is my sons.

You ain't my son.

You know, I think it's a shame

That you cringe

when you think of my name

And the reasons you get mad

I'm thinking is lame

Sometimes you say you hate me,

I be feeling the same

It never shows,

but I be feeling pain

We don't get along

because I'm so much like you

Move around, hustle,

just like you

My pops wasn't there for me

just like you

I'm so stressed out

But I'm scared of

what the dust might do

How you think I felt knowing

that no one wanted me

Knowing this man, my father,

commonly referred to as no one

I used to feel no one's pain

Rain for 40 days

and 40 nights

My life is 80 wrongs

and 40 rights

And still beneath the hope,

the single thought you might

Be a part

of your firstborn son's life

But that was

That was just a dream,

You gave up

That's what I take

You know, listen

You know, listen, Pop

I'm not holding back

my words

And the thought

of consequences

Got me holding back my verbs

You got some nerve

talking like you walking sh*t

But when you try to walk,

it's like your talk

It's sounding awkward

It's f***ed up

Yeah

But I stick through it all

14 years

I didn't miss you at all

So let it harbor

in your chest

Until there's peace

in your rest

Or rest in your peace

Whichever comes first

'Cause I ain't wasting

no more words

- Hip-hop is about drums

and bass and tones and power,

you know, "rah. "

I remember when

Grand Master Flash

and Melly Mell

and the Furious Five,

and Run DMC even,

every time they'd end a song,

they'd go, "Aa-ahh!"

You know, because it was about "rah,"

letting that energy,

let that fire out, you know.

So when you hear the drums

and the bass,

that just gets you moving,

and then I get to, like,

say whatever I want,

and I can curse if I want to,

not that you promoting it,

but you just letting me do me.

"Ah!"

You know?

So that's freedom.

It's freedom to just be able

to say whatever I want
