Ah, you're my boy now. Come on. Oh yeah, clean this shoe, clean this shoe. Yeah, take, take $1,000 there. Yeah, you have forgotten. And once you forget where God took you from, you're on your way back there. Ah, you're on your way back. Yeah, it may look long, but you are surely going back.

I am all against people trying to flaunt affluence. I know, but, but you get what I'm saying? But there's a way God will bless you. Honestly, you look like it. Ah, no. Yeah, the things you were using in the days, your life has not changed. Keep some of them around so they can always humble you. It's not every phone you dash out. Keep some. The day you'll have to knock this to call, remember. Uh, have things to remember.
