I'm speaking to the minds, cut the chatter.
Yeah, I was in them raptors.
I was spreading my ways, but balance is the key that happily ever happens.
Hit me out, been on weary routes, getting dreary, trying to heal the crowd.
Had to get in line, cause I can't never let them deal me out.
That's a lot better.
Ladies and gentlemen, we're about to get started.
Thank you for being here.
Super important day.
It's Wednesday.
Okay, so we're going to get started shortly.
Talk a friend, let's go.
We're about to get started.
I wonder if it's all my fault.
This whole thing fell apart.
But I thought I'd never lose.
There is that I cannot do.
This is really it of love.
Who am I if I can't solve this talk?
Cause I need more time to figure this out.
Who am I if I feel less than?
Who am I if I'm not next than?
Who am I if I'm not God?
Am I really no better than the next man?
Having these stars.
I wonder if it's all my fault.
This whole thing fell apart.
I find I thought I'd never lose.
There is that I cannot do.
This is really it of love.
Who am I if I'm not perfect?
Who am I if I'm scared?
Who am I if I get jealous and I shouldn't,
but I still look around and compare?
Who am I if they don't accept me?
Who am I if I lose hope?
Who am I if they don't respect me?
Who am I if I don't sell out every single store?
Who am I if I don't know how to cope?
Without a bottle and a girl give me throat.
Who am I if I ride a self-help book?
And realize that I'm probably the one who needs it the most.
Who am I if I lose my fans?
Who am I if I lose my belt?
Who am I if he isn't good enough?
Who am I if I'm not who I think I am?
I'm having these stars.
I wonder if it's all my fault.
This whole thing fell apart.
I find I find I'll never lose.
There is that I can't undo.
Ladies and gentlemen!
Damn, that new Rust album is lit.
You guys should check it out.
That was a song called Fraud off of his new album.
He also had an interview with Jay Shetty talking about mental health.
Literally mental health.
His whole album is about the way he sees it and how he's grown.
So I just think it's a dope album.
But yo, let's get started.
I'm very excited to be here today.
It's such a beautiful day.
It's Wednesday.
Chico, what's good?
How you feeling?
Yo, yo, yo, yo.
What's the vibes?
I'm feeling good.
Well rested finally.
Got caught up on sleep after Miami.
I'm feeling real, real hype off this Carol G concert I went to last night.
Between me and y'all, I might like Carol G now.
Somebody dragged me to a Carol G concert.
It was a great vibe.
We've been working hard.
End of the summer.
In my adult life, I still try to acknowledge the summertime a little bit.
So I'm just happy to be here.
That was probably the culmination piece to my summertime last night.
Had some great seats to the concert.
So I'm just happy to be here.
Feeling good myself.
Thank you for asking.
I was going to say, I remember you told me you were going and you were like, yeah, whatever.
This morning, I'm like, yo, how was it?
You're like, oh my God, she's the GOAT.
Yo, that's what's up.
That's funny as heck.
Definitely.
Thank you, everybody that's here.
Appreciate y'all pulling up early.
We just getting started.
I think profits had to update her X application, if I'm not mistaken.
She got like four phones.
You know how that works.
We here right now.
I think that I wanted to start today on a serious note by the topic, meaning a little bit more serious than normal.
But it's also, it should be a leisure subject because a lot of people indulge, but it's very like cliche and niche and, you know, not spoken of.
We're talking about drug use for mental health today, for recreational, for medicinal.
Like, you know, you can start off with the, with the age old adage that marijuana is a gateway drug.
I thought about that when me and Prophet speaking about the term earlier and the topic.
You know, for many, it will never be a gateway drug.
You know what I mean?
They smoke weed.
That's what they do.
It is what it is.
It is though many people still try other things when, you know, end up with one thing and people don't smoke weed or, you know, don't indulge in alcohol.
But, you know, they indulge in hard fucking drugs.
You know, no judgment here today.
This is the safest space that I know.
I am here to talk about life with you guys.
I'm here to laugh.
I'm here to indulge.
I'm here to say my shit.
I'm here to listen to your stories.
So, like, I always, I'll start with mine.
If you're familiar with my story, I struggled with alcoholism.
Alcoholism was my...
Hold on, Chico.
People are saying they can't hear us.
Who can't hear us?
Jonna, can you hear us?
So, I couldn't hear you guys when you were, when I was in the listeners, but as a speaker, I can.
Can everybody hear us?
Appreciate that, Jonna.
Can everybody hear us?
Damn, bro.
I had to say that.
I saw this happen before.
So, Mercury is retrograde.
It was dead silent, and then I heard music once I got up here.
That sucks.
I had to leave the space and come back.
And when I asked to come back, it told me to click on, will you be a speaker?
And then I clicked on it, and now I can hear you guys.
All right.
That's right.
We'll restart the space, Chico.
Give me a second.
