Speaker 1 (00:24):
Look, if what you've been doing has just gotten you
to this point and you are not content with the
point you are at, then we need to make an adjustment.
I mean, don't that seem like the common sense thing
to do? It does to me. Let's just do something
different this year. Make a commitment. I'm gonna do something different.
I'm gonna put forth a little bit more effort. I'm

(00:45):
gonna quit trying. I'm gonna do it this year. You know,
sometimes that simple change of attitude is enough. Instead of trying,
I'm gonna do it. And it's just as simple as that. Sometimes,
just remove certain words out the way, stop trying to
do something. I decided this year, you know, I wasn't
gonna try to be a better person this year. I'm
just gonna go about the business of being a better

(01:06):
person this year and see how that works, you know,
because like I've said a thousand times, So if you
keep doing what you've been doing, you gonna keep getting
what you been getting. It don't change it, don't change
unless you change it. But you have the power to
change it. The power of decision is in your hands.

Please understand, when you make the decision to do the
right thing, here they come you a hypocrite. You think

(03:58):

Speaker 1 (04:12):
I'm just trying to give out some positive encouragement, you know.
But here it come. You a hypocrite. I remember when
you was out on a tour with the Kings of Comedy.
Yeah me too, I remember that too, But I ain't
out on tour with them no more.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
We that all changed. Hello, So now what you want
me to do?

Speaker 1 (04:29):
You want to keep living up to what you saw
me as what I was, And I can't get no
credit with you for what I'm trying to be.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Now that's that. Now you're gonna be a hypocrite. You fake?

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Nah, man, you ain't fake. You just have made the
decision to be a better person, that's all. And now
because you ain't the person you was, the person they knew,
now they see the new you. Now you're a hypocrite.
You ain't a hypocrite.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
You just change it.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
Don't let them hate to shake you. Man, go own
about your business when they talking about you. Look at
him now, gonna try to go home. He been with
me all this time, Hey man, just go home. Oh
he gonna try to go home now, man, he know
Friday nights. Man, we done told our girls this where
we're at now. He's showing up at the house because
he don't want to come on player. Hey man, just
go home. It's gonna be unpopular, You're gonna get talked about.

(05:13):
They gonna say you're a hypocrite. But do the right thing.
God will bless you for that. That's something in Proverbs
that says, if you honor God, if you do the
right thing, if you seek him out, God will cause
his blessings to chase you down. Do you understand me
what that means? Can you imagine what would happen in
your life if God were to take some blessings and

(05:35):
chase you down with him. Do you know that there's
no hiding from him in your deepest, darkest secret. He
know about the stuff that you done kept out the
light from everybody else.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
He know about all of that.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
So now if he has got some blessings that he
gonna chase you down with, you can't even escape him.
You look up and here come another one, that go,
another one, Here he go again. Man, That's what I'm
trying to get my life too, because at the end, man,
what I do not want? Man, and not even at
the end, I just don't want now God to have

(06:09):
all these boxes up in heaven, these blessings with my
name on them, and I don't get them sent to
me because I'm down.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Here clowning so hard.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
He can't even ship blessings to me because I'm just
so dead wrong that I'm blocking the blessings man, that
God got for me. I would rather do the best
I can do and be the best I can be,
make some mistakes, ask for forgiveness, and get on up
and see what God got for me. And remember, Donny

(06:38):
McClurkin got a song out.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Man.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
We ain't got time to play it now because I
done talked too long, but you know that's where I
am right now. The song is one of my favorite.
When Donnie wrote we Fall Down, do you know I
knew him when he.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Wrote the song. I thought he had wrote the song
for me.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
I really did, because it came out after a conversation
we was having, and I thought he had wrote the
song for me because it's so appropriate to my life.
And I bet you it's appropriate to your life because
you see, guess what, We fall down, but we get up.
He has a line in the song that says a
saint is just a sinner who fell down, but he

(07:20):
didn't stay there. That's the deal, y'all. Look, you gonna
make some mistakes. Just don't stay there. Just get up, man,
and walk straight again. Then while you're walking straight and
write and trying to be righteous, you're gonna fall.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Get up.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
Don't stay there and get back on the straight and
the righteous you're gonna fall a bunch of times. Just
don't stay there. Just get up, man. That's the only
difference between a saint and a sinner. They the same people, man. Actually,
that's what the revealing news is. Saints is really sinners.
They're the same people. They just keep getting up. That's

(07:57):
all man.
