Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time. I don't know. Y'all have a sun giving them like the million bucks things and at good Steve to the mother, I don't join Jo. You gotta turn hur you go, you gotta turn to turn them out. Turn you got to turn them out. Then turn the water the water got me? Come come on your thad, I share will a good morning everybody, y'all listening to the voice, Come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Yeah, I'll do. Man, God is good. Hey today, I just want to get right to it because this has really been pressing me. I woke up and this was on my mind, and I wanted to share it with you because I know this for a fact. See I've lived this for a fact, and you know the majority of things I talk about in the morning before we get started with the regular show. It's something that I've experienced. I can only tell you what I know. And so I really really understood why God has had my life go the way that is gone, because if I didn't have all these tests in my life, I didn't have all these tests that I passed, all these tests that I faced old. If I didn't have all of those, the good and the bad, What could I share with you in the morning? What could I tell you about hanging? What could I tell you about failing and then winning? What could I tell you about hanging in now when all hope was gone? How could I share that with you? Unless I've had those moments myself. I don't care what happens to you. I don't care what you're going through. Don't you dare dare give up? Under no circumstances. Don't you dare dare ever give up? It is the biggest trick that the enemy has is making us think we ain't gonna make it, to water down the illusion that there is a possibility that you might still have a chance to get over. The biggest trick he uses is when you make a mistake and you fall. He gets you to start to thinking it's final, that there is no resurrection, there is no redemption, there is no recovery. He just makes you think it's final. He is the master deceiver. Don't you dare dare ever give up? I don't care what besets you, befalls you, trips you up, What circumstantial situations may arise, don't you dare, dare ever give up? Because listen to me, these are tests that you are going through. And these tests, whether you pass the test or appears that you failed the test, the test accomplishes the mission if you're smart about it. If you pass the test, Let's say you're going through a situation and you get over and it goes the way you want it to do, then what you've learned is if you hang in there, there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Okay, mission accomplished. If you fail the test and it doesn't go the way you want it and it goes the opposite, and it turns out into a negative result, and in response you were looking for is a no. That's not final. That doesn't mean it's over. That doesn't mean it's time to turn back. It simply means that now you have learned a valuable experience, you have learned a valuable lesson. You now know what not to do. You are now because you know what not to do, another step closer to getting it right. Listen to me. It has to happen this way. You have to have the rain in your life to get the flowers in your life. You got to have the darkness in your life to appreciate the sunshine in your life. You got to have woes and worries to appreciate the joys. It is merely a test. So when you get through failing, and you get through stumbling, and you get through messing it up, all that's getting you one step closer to getting it right. Oh, my relationship ended. I'll never be able to find another person like that. Not only will you not be able will not only will you be able to find a person like that, You can find a person that far better than that if you don't give up. But see, sometimes you got to go through the bad ones to get to the good ones. Don't you? Dare? Dare ever give up? I don't care what happens to you if you lose a love one. And Lord knows, I've lost some people I've loved dearly, with every inch in me. I've lost my mother, my father, my brother, and my best friend. I don't know. I know people who have lost their children. Goodness, man, I can't even imagine that, but they kept on going. What you're giving up for? Oh, I got you miss them, and I got you grieving, But I got news for you. Don't you let the devil make you think it's over for you because somebody else ain't still here. It was their time. Now. I'm not trying to lessen to blow for you, but I'm trying to get you up on your feet so you can stop all this old woe is me because the things is happening to you. You're not the first person that's happened to Come on, now, let's get a grip. Let's wrap your mind around this thing. You have got to move forward, if it's just in memory of those people. I was on one of the commercial breaks the other day and somebody asked me something, and I forgot the question, but my answer was, I've always wanted my mother and father to be proud of me, and in that absence and their demise, I'm hoping, just somehow, man that they watching me, that they see their boy, that I'm down here, that I'm doing better, that I'm making something about myself, that I'm loving my wife, that I'm taking care of my kids. She want my old man to see that about me, you know, I want my mother to see I'm trying to give my life together over here, you know, saying I'm trying to be a better person. My mom was a Sunday school teacher for forty years. She'd been praying for me for long time. I just hope, man, and that's all I'm doing. It's just hoping that they see me so they ain't be proud of me. See you, you you, you you. You got to understand that when you make these mistakes, that when you fall and stumble and you get it all so wrong, it ain't over for you. Don't you dare dare dare ever? Give up? Don't stop thinking, man, because it ain't happening just the way you wanted to that. It ain't meant to be devil. He got so many tricks to deceive you. You know why you're being tested right now, because there is no testimony without the test. You got to go through something. It's all good man telling you. I just wanted to share that with you. Don't you give up out there. I don't care what's happening. Don't don't, don't don't get deceived. The victory's coming, but you ain't gonna get it if you quit.

This one is from from unnamed in Georgia. Unnamed rites. I'm thirty three years old and married. I worked nights, so I have to spend as much time as I can with my wife. I also have to make sure my girlfriend is happy too. My girlfriend works part time and she's used to me taking her to lunch most days and having a little dessert at her house. My wife just started working from home three days a week, and she expects me to eat at home and please after lunch. This is irritating my girlfriend. How do I keep both of these women happy without wearing myself out? Help me out out, yo, yo, answer it won't out, yo. Lunch break ain't even a break dog, I ain't got ain't got no answer for your dog except the real solution. You ain't gonna want to hire you guys to get rid of that girlfriend. That is not what he asked. That is, he did not ask you that you're supposed to get What was the question? Yeah, how did you go? Ahead? Repeat from him? And first of all, that's an impossibility. There's no way. There's no way, and he said the key word without wearing yourself out. There is no way that can be done. He's only thirty three. Oh he got We got the work. You can't do this every day, sometimes twice a day, two different people. You gotta be kidding me a lot, or you don't even understand this, can only lask for a little while, probably not helping him. You've got to get rid of the girlfriend. Is not the help he asked. There is no other help. Boy, Can I invite you your ignorant self? There's nothing else to give this boy. But what he ain't the situation that he not gonna have wife. He keep on. He didn't ask to give up somebody. He asked how to how to make it happen? How to make it work? It cannot happen. What he's asking for is an impossibility. This is a time management question to me. Yeah, I mean, you know, some people want to know how how can I have two calls? You answer the question how you have two? You want to know how? He had his next question. Shirley, moving on Sani and Charleston says, I have a hair salon and I'm very strict with my no children policy. My sister's best friend constantly brings her four year old daughter to her appointment, so I refused her service. Last Thursday. We got into a verbal altercation, and then she went on social media and posted a picture of her matted weed, saying I did her hair. This could affect my business because she's an IG influencer. So thousands of people saw the picture. How can I get her to stop harassing me without it getting physical? Nah, Yes, it's gonna turn cisical. It's gonna turn We can't hear. I said, we got to find a fiscal way to do this. Okay, So it is going to get physical. You're saying, no, I said something else. Shall It's not what I meant to say in my heart of heart, but post something else? You know, don't don't get into this social war. The thing about social media is it goes away if you don't respond and just leave it alone. It's not true. Your people that come to your shop, that are your dear customers, they know it's not true. So just going about your business, ignore it. It will go away. The patrols and the bottom feed is to people that's gonna troll you. They're not coming to your salon. No way. She can't hurt your bus, says. People kill me thinking they're gonna destroy something they didn't create. Don't give her the power. Ignore her. She'll go away. By Steve, she really will. It goes away, man, Steve, that's good. That's Andrea. And Philly says. I'm thirty nine years old and I've been with my man for nine years. He'd cheat it, and I stayed because I have nowhere to go. A year ago, I got a man on the side, and my man didn't suspect a thing until he's snuck and turned my ringer on. One day while I was sleep, my side dude called and the ringer was up loud. I have the song walk as my side Dude's ring tne. My man tried to answer the phone. But he missed the call. I'm not sure if he read my text or not. So I'm walking on eggshells around him. What should I do? Get out? You're in an unhappy relationship that's unhealthy for you, and you already you got a man on the side. Wan't you to take him off the side? But see? Instead of but see, the problem is you have no where to go. See, you're not solving the where to go problem. You need to figure out where you can go and be in peace. Not who you can go to and get a piece, but where you can go to and be in peace. See, your problem is you picked the wrong piece. Instead of seeking piece, you went and got another piece. And thus now you've compounded your problem because now you still have nowhere to go because the piece you wouldn't. God may not have room for you at his house because you may be just a side piece. Oh, were dealing with pieces? Now? See all this is pieces? See did we did? We just dealing with pieces now? And when you seek the wrong peace, when you try to find peace in a piece, that will be no peace. Oh man, did I just have a Kanye I'm a damn genius, And watch your hand Kanye moment that Kanye had every time Kanye say something that the thought came to me changed the whole subject. Yeah, go ahead, says I've got a big family. I love them dearly, but I don't want them to visit me for the holidays every year. It's a big hassle to prepare for them, and none of them want to help out with groceries or buying liquor. My wife is white, and she's not used to the bickering and cursing at each other when we're all supposed to be grateful. My family will never change, and I'm tired of how they act too. What gives do I please my wife or please my ken? I would go with the white. I'm there with the wife. You got a wife, which, yeah, not chuck. Hear what you can do? You got it? You got it. You gotta stop this man because you're not happy with it either. But now what you should do is not chucking. It's gonna throw you go over her family's house for the holidays. Now it's gonna be different the wife. Yeah, go over the wife's house. Now, let me tell you a couple of things you gotta watch out for. You're not fitting, getting no dressing.

On Sunday, during a speech at the Ignatious Forum in Washington, Bezos stated that humans would have their default homes on other planets and over a million people could be working on another planet soon. Okay, don't nobody can about that. Let me just say this on Founders, stay on behalf of Jason Jeff Bens. If Jeff Bezos gives me a billion dollars, I'm walking his ass right into this frame. He's a cute Jeff. No he's not at all. No he's not. No, he's not. But if you give me a billion dollars, I'm walking him in. I don't give it. Them who don't like it. What does he need to be a cue? He don't even have to be. No, Damn, I don't really don't even care. Beginning that billion dollars, I'm gonna walk in there. As in the dope he's saying, babies could be born in space.

We black folk, we're trying to just get it right down here on Earth. I'd be damn if you're gonna pass up in space and let us try to figure that out. We just want some space down here where we can live in peace, have our own without getting shot, playing with no COVID. I'm now that's ignorant. We could just be visiting Earth like you visit Yellowstone Park or you know, stuff like that. Well, I'm well, I'm gonna be down here running things. Leave if y'all come back. Now you're here, all right, We'll be back with more of a Steve Harvey Morning Show right after this. You're listening the Stave Harvey Morning Show. Florida Governor Ron de Santis is doing everything he can everything he can do to push back against COVID vaccine mandates for public and private employers. On Monday, he'll oversee a special legislative session called Keep Florida Free. It's aimed to block such mandates. Four bills will be on the table that will up penalties for business, local governments, and other entities that are requiring employees to get vaccinated and force students to wear mass in school. Last week, while announcing his twenty twenty two reelection plans, DeSantis said, at the end of the day, we want people to be able to make informed decisions for themselves. But we've got to stop bossing people around. We've got to stop the coercion. We've got to stop trying to browbeat people. Fans of Dessanta's claim he's striking a blow for freedom and others think he's putting people in unnecessary danger or the residents need to make sure he's not re elected in twenty twenty two. I can't stand anymore. I can't stand the stupidity of people that people have put into office. This is the person that you trust with your welfare. This is the person that you put in chargees you thought would be best to make decisions on your behalf. Are you kidding me? And I could assure you all the Republicans that did vote for this guy did not think he would be up there doing this type of stuff. You cannot be a Republican and feel this way. I just don't believe all Republicans feel this way. That can't be the case. This is just ignorance man to know the facts and ignore them because some political party then got together and say this is one we're gonna let's keep America free. You didn't say that, see y'all kill me with just keep America freeman, y'all, and enslaved and captured and took and imprisoned more people than anybody on planet Earth. And you got the nerve the scream about your freedoms. This is the most hypocritical country, man, we live in. Oh, it has some great moments in it. Oh, it's some great opportunities here. Okay, it's the land of the whatever. Yeah, yeah, you can turn yourself into something. But let's not overlook the flaws while you're talking about what it is. Because of what is at is just as big and just as glaring to me. And if you on this side of the fish, you would understand what we were talking about. So you can stop all that old land of the free. Free for who. You don't even want us to vote right? Free for a woman can't decide to do with her body. Help me understand that you could decide to wear a mask and get a vaccination, but you can't decide to have a baby. What make up your mind? Man? You can make up your mind going out there and buy gun and going out here and shoot somebody with it because you got drivers life or your month bought. Stop me let me the mama drove twenty twenty two elections. Remember that coming up at thirty four minutes after attacks against airline employees are becoming an epidemic. We'll talk about it right after this. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Check this story out. Southwest Airlines employee was hospitalized over the weekend after getting punched in the head by an unruly passenger. Authorities say the passenger had boarded her flight at Dallas love Field Airport and got into a verbal argument with an operations agent.

Dear Stephen Shirley. I'm a forty seven year old wife and my husband and I have been married for four years. During the entire four years, all of the arguments that we have had that we have are over his ex wife, the mother of his only son. She lives two hours away, and at times he will drive to see his son and this woman will not let him visit with the child, depending on her mood. When she is in a mood, it affects him, so that affects me. I've had numerous conversations with him about why she still affects him in that way, and I've told him it means he still cares about her. He always says he's irritated because it's a waste of his time. He slipped up and mentioned one day that she had company when he was there, and it messed up his whole visit. To note there was a man in the house he bought. I put that in the back of my mind because I think that's what really irks him. He's a great dad, but his son is fifteen, so he's not really into his dad like that anymore. He prefers to be with his friends on weekends, but this woman and my husband insists on making him visit the woman family. The woman's family lives ten minutes from us, so my husband spends time over there when the woman and his son are in town. She will not drop the boy off over here, and all I can think is that he still enjoys hanging around her family and spending time with her, and that is why we argue. He has no rebuttal. When I accuse him of putting her first, all he says is that I would understand if I had a child, And then that starts another argument. I want to be the number one. I want to be number one, but it's difficult with his ex wife ever present in my marriage. There can only be one missus Dowdry from here on out. Do I have to wait until this boy is eighteen and have his own life to be a privateority in my husband's life? Okay, this letter is interesting and kind of confusing. I don't think at all it's about priority. I think this letter is about you thinking your husband still cares and has feelings for his ex wife. I mean, I think that's what's causing the problems. I do agree with you that his son at fifteen wants to hang out with his friends and not his dad. I mean, most teenagers want to do that. But I completely disagree with you that your husband's anger is because he still cares for his ex anyone, anyone would be irritated if they drove two hours and still couldn't see their child. Let me ask you this though. There are a bunch of unanswered questions that I have. Do you have a relationship at all with the son? It certainly doesn't sound like it. You know you're his stepmother, right. Why don't you go with your husband when he goes to visit his son? I mean, does he not want you to go? Or are you not welcome over there? What is the issue? Why doesn't the husband bring the son to your home? And why doesn't the ex wife drop him off over there? A lot of unanswered questions here. I think they've been left out of this letter. It makes me think were you're the mistress before? Is that why all of this is going on? I don't know, food for thought. On my end, I can also see your husband being irked by another man sitting up in the house that he bought. It still doesn't mean he has feelings for his ex. It could simply mean to him, why doesn't this man get them a house if they're heading in that direction. I think he would prefer a better example of a man around his son and nothing more than that, because that's what parents do. They make it happen. So I think you need to support this black dad, your husband, in his effort to spend quality time with his son, and be happy that he wants to do that. I just think you need to please stop all this arguing and just do your part to make this a real family unit here. I think that's what's missing. Steve. Well, lady, you've got so many things miskewed in this letter. You've just I think your interpretation of a lot of stuff is off. Now you're forty seven year old wife and your husband and I have been married for four years, So you got married at forty three according to this letter, and I'm listening you don't have any children, so you already are not going to understand a lot of what's going on him during the four years. All the arguments that we have are over his ex wife, the mother of his only son. She lives two hours away, and at times he would drive to see his son and this woman would not let him visit with the child. Wow, And that's depending on her mood. When she is in a mood, it affects him so that it affects me. I've had numa conversations about him or why she still affects him that way, and I've told him it means he still cares about her. What how did you pull that out of that? What are you talking about? That's not what that means at all. The man drives two hours, can't see his son, and you think and then guess what you do? It affects him, so that affects me. This letter is filled with how you're affected. You ignore the fact that this man is trying to have relationship with his son to drove two hours, and then this helfer who is using the child as a pond, which they oftentimes do, and now he's irritated because he can't see his son. Now you still care about her? Why did you get that from? How? And it affects him? So now it affects me. It's always about you. He says, he's irritated because it's a waste of time. That don't sound like a fact. That's true. He slipped up and mentioned one day that he had company. He didn't slip up. He told you you don't slip This ain't a slip off. He told you one day. I'll tell you when to come back. You get response coming up at twenty three minutes after the our subject of today's Strawberry letter, I'm the wife, not the mistress. M all right, we'll get back into it right after this. You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, come on, Steve, let's recap today's Strawberry Letters. Subject I'm the wife, not the mistress. Okay, so you're forty seven years old, you've been married for four years, you have no children, and during the four years, all who you have an argument over is about his ex wife, the mother of his only son. She lives two hours away. He drives there, and sometimes a woman uses the child as a pun and won't let him see he's irritated. Yo. Takeaway from that whole thing is the reason when it affects him, it affects you. And the reason he's affected by that's because he still cares about her. What are you kidding me? But then when he tells you he's really irritated because it's a waste of his time, which is true, you get that wrong. And then here's another thing. You say he slipped up one time and mentioned one day that she had company when he was there, and it messed up his whole visit to know that that was a man in the house he bought. He didn't slip off. That's not a slip up story. I went to see my son and ticked me off that there's another dude in here in the house. I bought. Men feel that way. I'm telling you right now every man I know would feel that way, including me. I'm sending up here and pavement is how his fool's got his feet up over here in the house I didn't bought. I'm paying for a court and gay to her. I gotta take care of my son now. This dude over here, cook it, man, please, I know getting here well? He man as he should be. I put that in the back of my mind because I think that's what really irks him. Yeah, it really does irk him. It ain't had nothing to do, but he care about her. He's a great dad. But his son is fifteen, so he's not really into his dad like that anymore. He prefers to be with his friends on the weekend. Are you crazy? Are you crazy? Lady? So now you're trying to sweep under the rug the father son relationship because he's a teenager and his assessment is he really ain't into his dad like that no more. He really is into his dad. Fifteen year old boys, they might take him for granted, but they be into their dad because if that dad ain't there, we out a whole nother problem. But you're so selfish, you can't see this. You's a selfish lady, man. But this woman and my husband insist on making him visit. He has to visit my husband and this woman insist that he visited. What are you talking about. You have to spend time with your children. You have to invest in your son. He fifteen, he's at an impressionable age. What are you talking about? This woman and my husband insists on making him visit he got to he asked for the visitation rights. Man, you ain't got no kids. You're tripping. You're tripping, you really are. And then this woman's family lives ten minutes from us, so my husband spend times over there when a woman and his son are in town. She will not drop the boy off over here, don't you see? So now if he want to see your son, he gotta go over there. She will not drop the boy off over here. She's using this boy as a pond. She's making him jump through all the hoops. All I can think that he steals enjoys hanging around her family and spending time with her. And that's why how you get that the woman won't drop the boy off. He got to go over that. He must enjoy spending time with the family. He don't want to go over there, but it's his only chance to see in the sun. But you so damned selfish and self sin it you keep making this about you. You're gonna mess up a relationship that's well needed. And this boy gonna be lost without his dad. And then when I tell him that he has no rebuttal, when I accuse him of putting her first, because what Roberto, is it, because why can you rebuttle to something that's not the cause. He's dumbfounded. He really can't believe how ignorant you are. That's really what the damn I'm married? Is she serious? He doesn't have a rebuttal for that. All he says is that I would understand if I had a child, and then that starts another argument that ain't his faultry hand child? Y'all got married at forty. I want to be the number one, but it's difficult with his ex wife ever present in my marriage because she's using the child as a pawn. Don't you get it? Don't be stupid. The woman knows she's creating dissension in your house, and she uses the son to create the dissension. She knows exactly what she's doing because she's cunning. So now she's making his life as miserable as she can. But you don't see that though, since you know everything. Don't you know how women can be? Don't you? I bet every woman listening to this knows how they can be. Do I have to wait until the boys eighteen and has his own life to be a priority in my own husband's life, You're a priority in his life. But his son is a priority too, And when he turns eighteen, I got more news for you. Children don't go away at eighteen. This ain't false to care. When his son turns eighteen, he gonna still need his dad. My son still need me. I wish they'd go away somewhere, but they don't. They don't, they don't, and they stick around and they need us. And that's what parents do. And you need to realize that you're a part of a man that is a parent. So you should start acting more like a parent instead of a spoil self senate wife. You're gonna make him regret knowing you, lady, keep on. Yeah, that's probably why you ain't been married before. All right, Steve, thank you.

Rising energy costs gasoline, coal, and natural gas are a major driver of high inflation. Experts say. Ongoing supply chain issues and labor shortages are driving the higher gas prices. Drivers are paying one hundred one dollar and fifty cent more per gallon than a year ago. And that's according to Doug Schoop, a spokesperson for a Triple A. It means the person who has a typical midsize sedan with a fourteen gallon size fuel tank will pay twenty one dollars more to fill up that tank today than last year. On Sunday, Senator Chuck Schumer called on President Biden to tap into the nation's Strategic Petroleum Reserve to provide temporary relief at the pump, especially ahead of holiday travel. California continues to top the nation's most expensive markets at four dollars and sixty two cents a gallon. That's a lot of expenses. Steve, does this affect you at all?

We'll back with our last break of the day. At forty nine minutes after some closing remarks from the one and only Steve Harvey right after this you're listening to show all right, guys, here we are our last break of the day on this Wednesday hump day, yes day, man, Man the Thanksgiving dinner side. I'm just sord I'm sorry about all this. Here's a lot of stuff. You know what, though it countered away from that, well, okay, away from that, because you know, look, it's time for closing marks. So let me try to put something together right because I could, I could run it down about these menu, but we got time for that. You know what my closing remarks. He is today and a lot of people can relate to what I'm about to say. I'm so grateful that I have a relationship with God, because, man, it just show helps me out. Man, It helps me get centered, It helps me live in with peace of mind. It gives me a level of comfort that I would not have if I didn't have this relationship with him. I'm just so grateful for that, man, because in this world we live in, there's so much stimuli in all of our lives. You know, you wake up in the morning and you grab your cell phone. You want to check your messages, your emails, anything came through. You want to check your Facebook page, see if anybody called, and you check your ig see what's going on, check your DMS and all this here. What I've learned is the best way for me to start my day is to start my day with prayer and meditation. That's the best way to start my day. And you know, when I missed that, I really noticed something. If I miss it in the morning, But when I take the time to sit up and just say thank you, when I can wiggle my toes or blink my eyes or take a deep breath, or or realize that today is another opportunity and no matter what happened, He's given me this other chance, you know. And and then I got a brand new eighty four thousand, six hundred seconds today to deal with. I just say thank you. I just say thank you for all the things I can think of, my health, my family, my strength, my my my understanding, my wisdom, my will, the things he's done for me, the things he's given me, the things he's about to do for me. By the time I spend that time saying thank you for all those things, right there, man, it's starts my day off the right way, because you know what, when you focus on your blessings and not on your burdens, it changes your perspective. Y'all. Now listen, Do I know you have some troubles? I bet you do. Do you have some things you gotta contend with? Oh? Yes you do. Are you facing some things that you might not be sure of and it's creating a little anxiety? Oh yes it is. But it's that relationship that I have with God that allows me to know that I'm able to cope with it all. And I've said this a hundred times on the show, but I'm gonna say it again because if you think of all your bad days, if you think of all the days you thought you wasn't gonna make it, that you didn't have answers, do you think of all the times you've had horrible days? I just want to remind you in each one of those days that your track record for surviving those types of days is one that's valuable information, man. And with that information right there, it always lets me know that I will survive whatever else happens to me. It's that relationship that I had with God, man that settles me down. That keeps me focused. That allows me to stay on track even when I get off track. And do I get off track? Yes? I do? Why because I'm human? Yes, it's some days, man, when I wake up and I don't say thank you. Yes, some days I wake up and I just get started. Maybe I woke up later. Maybe I just jumped up and I heard something that went out stairs and I just got to move it around, and I didn't say thank you. Y'all had them days? I had them days when I want to tell somebody off. Y'all? Do I had them days when somebody that got on my nerves and I decide that I'm going straighten them out myself. Yeah, I do. I have all them days, just like you. But when I take a moment to pause and I get a chance to sit with myself and go, hey, man, is it worth it? Every time? Is not? Yeah? Man, Steve, you can say this, or you can go do that, or you can tell them off, but really do you care? Like I'm under attack right now, somebody's trying to attack me, and you know what, I don't even care. I've got the warning signal that the attack is coming. I don't even care. I don't even care. Do what you want to do, what you're gonna do. I'm tired of people thinking they got some control over me because they have the ability to say this online. Say what you want to say. You know what's gonna happen. I'm gonna keep rising because you have nothing to do with my rise. You are not my God, you're not the architect of my story. You're not my savior. You're nothing to me, and I will not give you one moment of power over me. So write what you want to write, and say what you want to say. When you get through, I'm gonna rise. And this message is to my cousin. I got a big cousin who loves me. Man always tries to protect me. Text me the other day, say uncle, Ma, I get tired of color. I get tired when I hear people talking about you. Let them talk, man. When they get through talking, I'm still here. They don't even know me. Man, don't even let that affect you. I don't care no more. I truly don't care no more. Say what you want to say, do what you want to do. God is my savior. God is my strength. God is my rock, And you can't do nothing about that those are my closing remarks today, and I know what I just said. A whole lot of people feel that exact same way.
