you know i love you donna

Is it getting better for women, black women? I don’t know. It’s been great for me! I own six properties, I’m out of the hood, and my son don’t know the hood. Now, have they put all the zeroes on my check that I deserve? That’s the question, but not even for me because I don’t write the checks. I just keep working hard, knowing it will come.

I’m an old man. It’s the same thing earlier when I say I’m shy. You have to get to know me to break past that, but I’m goofy too. I take my job seriously and that’s what they see. I don’t pull a lot of punches. When it comes to the work, it’s about getting it done by any means necessary, and nothing matters between action and cut.

Humans have a light side and a dark side, and it’s up to us to choose which way we’re going to live our lives. Even if you start out on the dark side, it doesn’t mean you have to continue your journey that way. You always have time to turn it around.
