[00:00.08] I never really had nothing to hide [00:01.81] Like, it was never really no filter in my head, like [00:04.94] "Would it be not cool to talk about your emotions?" [00:07.52] And you know like, it was never nothing in my, in my conscience [00:10.71] In my head to tell me not to do that [00:12.26] Going through something, music not only is something [00:15.66] That kind of helps the situation pass, I also make music [00:19.76] Talking about certain subjects, because I know that [00:22.01] I'm not the only one that's going through, you know, what's happening [00:25.27] Me talking about certain things could help somebody else [00:27.32] Through what they going through, as well as me tryna figure out myself [00:30.49] Uh, you were telling me a little bit about, you know [00:32.23] Just how you've struggled with anxiety over the years [00:34.03] Do you feel like you touch on that a little bit in this album [00:36.37] Yeah, I do touch on it [00:37.79] Mm-hm [00:38.20] I do, uhm, that's something that I feel like a lot of people neglect [00:43.61] Which is completely and utterly wrong, and me speaking from [00:48.52] Uh, an African-American man, I know that, that stuff is neglected [00:53.52] In, like, our community, you know, you tell your mom or your dad [00:57.60] Or your auntie, whoever, that you feel like you got anxiety [01:02.09] Or like you got depression, you fucking got ADD or whatever [01:05.46] They gon' look at you like you crazy [01:06.96] Mm-hm [01:08.04] Like, "You don't got that, get out, go, get out of here" [01:10.31] Like, how you gon' tell me I don't got something? [01:13.47] You know, that's not how it should be, but that's how it is [01:16.81] And that needs to change, and hopefully I'm one of those people [01:21.52] That could bring (yeah, that change, or at least [01:24.64] Start a chain-reaction for somebody else to come and do it after me [01:28.34]
