"Outro"

It's like, if you, if you give yourself up

Listen, nobody can blackmail you with anything

I'll never forget

You know when I first

Started to really understand what this was all about

I just went to my parents

And I just started confessing about stuff I did like in the second grade, seriously

But we don't know how all that stuff from the time we're kids man

All that repression

All that stuff just holding you

You know stuff out-

Talking about boys feeling my booty in the second grade

I mean I'm telling you, and I'm ashamed of that

You know?

Like no, like

No other girl in this audience played run catch and kiss or any of those silly games

You know?

But just from a child, you know, just growing up with all of that guilt

You know, and we think that that's God

We think that's God

Telling us feel guilty

God is saying get free

Confess man

Understand that, look

Everybody's going through that same stuff

Same issues it's just a bunch of repression

And I'm saying man, life is too

Is too valuable, man

For us to just sit here in this boxes all repressed

You know?

Afraid to admit what we're really going through

You know what I'm saying?

I'm tired of that

I'll tell people, listen, I, I, you know, it's so funny was like

You know, when I was trying to

I'll never forget I was pregnant with my first, my son

And I was trying to keep it a secret

It was all of over the place

You know?

And I went everywhere and I said hey, I'm having another baby

I didn't hear about it at all

Y'know I was like man I said man, y'all just want to deal in stuff that people don't want out

So now I just gave myself up

Yeah, I'm having another child, yeah, yup

What else would you like to know?

Yeah I'm crazy and deranged

You know and I'm free, you see? I'm free

You know, I might play you songs and twitch a little bit

Just so people know, you know

Look, I'm telling you, when they think you're crazy they don't mess with you

I'm telling you, you think

Y'all think that's a curse, I'm telling you it's a blessing, it's a blessing

When I was a, you know, a politician, well everybody

Just all over me, you now, I didn't have a private moment at all

Not not one private moment

And now that people think I'm crazy and deranged, we peace, total peace

And so, listen, as far as I'm concerned, I'm crazy and deranged

Just far y'all know, I'm crazy and deranged, you know

I'm emotionally unstable and I, and I'm not to going to ch-

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it

But uhm, we're gon' go

Alex you alright?

Ehehehe, yeah

But I'm, I was very blessed to be able to share with y'all today

You know, it's a joy for me to do that, thank you
