[NOISE] >> 44 years and all of a sudden,
somebody tell you pack to your stuff.
I mean, the elatement is overwhelming.
[MUSIC]
You ever seen a dog that you take him and you tie him up in your
backyard and then once you turn him loose, he take off?
Him, he gone.
The dog is ripping and running everywhere, he gone.
That's the elatement that I felt to be out of bondage.
To be cut loose from bondage.
I wanted to rip and run, I wanted to smell the air, I wanted go in the woods,
to be able to get up in the morning, eat what you want to eat.
You ain't gotta go down to the chow hall no more.
Ain't no standing in line, it ain't no stop the talking,
it ain't no more we're giving you a direct order.
All that is behind me, now.
>> I'm gonna keep this guy a little healthy.
>> Give me that.
>> Well, who's gonna get the water?
>> When I come back. He said eight days,
I've been out eight days.
10 days ago, I couldn't see this far.
10 days ago, I'm still waiting on to the decision from the Fourth Circuit.
>> He's never had an ice cream cake so I had to get one.
>> No, I ain't never had one.
>> [LAUGH] >> I lost time,
I lost people that was important
to me, I lost opportunity.
That's freedom.
[LAUGH] I lost the privilege given to every man,
any man that's born in the United States.
To grow and progress, to expand.
They locked me up in my 20s, 30s, 40s,
50s, and started on my 60s, and turned me loose at 64.
They have deprived me of life.
>> I'm not gonna stew on that.
[LAUGH] I'm not going to contemplate on that.
Life is too short, man.
Life is too short.
Shit, I can get up by the chair and fall over right here.
That just how much I believe that God is in control.
>> [LAUGH] [LAUGH] Shut up.
[LAUGH] >> [BLEEP].
>> [BLEEP].
>> Why'd you touch that?
>> [LAUGH] Come here, come here.
Get cold water, wash your hands.
>> Come here.
Come here. Why'd you touch that?
>> This woman has set me up.
>> [LAUGH] >> Lord have mercy.
My God.
>> [SOUND] You ain't said nothing
about don't touch the plate.
[MUSIC]
So, I ain't got time sitting around with my
lip stuck out about what they did to me 44 years ago.
They were wrong and the sad part about it,
they know they were wrong, they know that took my life,
they know they locked me up, but ain't nobody apologized.
But ain't nobody said man we made a mistake, man.
I apologize for what happened to you.
Hell, I can't get that.
I can't get that.
George Floyd ain't the first black man that ever had a knee on his neck.
Black man's been having knees on they neck ever since they set foot in
the Western Hemisphere.
Knees have been on black people's neck.
George Floyd ain't the first, he ain't the second, he ain't the third,
he ain't the last.
Amen.
See [INAUDIBLE].
