You break it down, maybe seven over here, ten over here, fiveover here. But we all became brothers within each other. Like I said, anythingthat you see that I’m spitting is only because of the experience of all theindividuals that I was running around at that time. That’s why we was like,"Yo, it’s about family. Family’s the most important thing." Because if youain’t family, then it’s only but so much love we got for you.

That’s what he talking at that time. It was just all about our livelihood at that time, "Yo, this is the last time, man. I keep doing other things, and I ain’t getting tothat level of winning. But this shit right here better work and it gottawork." And what I was saying is like, the same thing, like, we gonna makesomething happen with it. We ain’t gonna just get some wind, just fall backdown again. A couple of times you may throw a lickin the street and then you up.

You know, he was the Phil Jackson,you know? On top of it, ’cause we already seen that, he went out there andbecame successful alone, with even accomplishing to do a record. ’Cause yougotta remember, the GZA and RZA had a deal back then. These brothers is coming back to the block with they album covers, andto us that was like trophies, that was like bringing home a championship ring.Just to get on, just to get a record deal.

We didn’t give a fuck on how a n---- took it. That’s why I said the end of it was like, however you’re going to take it, then fuck it. When you was younger and youjust whiling and doing what you got to do, a lot of times, you don’t reallyrealize this shit until years later.

It sounded dusty
