Touched down in New York got a big dinner tonight with the family
With the team so shake a little bit of dust off. Look a little good
I actually think I'm coming down with a little cold
So I'm keeping my hoodie on as long as I can
So I can sweat
It's 5:30. Suppose to be at dinner by 7.
Gotta get a haircut
Do a couple interviews too
Figure out how that timing work
Gotta a good burn. Do a couple other things
The success though is the curl
Man makers it basically worked
Core
Back
Arms
Legs
All that
Done over here
I think I've always been a performer
Even before I knew that
Like I would rap every song that came on the radio
I was singing every song on the radio
I would dance and act a fool for my family
At all the family events
The interesting thing about it is that it still feels as though
You know it was yesterday
You know you realize at a certain point in your life
Whether it's a man or a woman
That you have a responsibility to yourself
To make sure that you do yourself the best justice that you can
And I think a lot of that comes from having to work hard
And coming from a place like Virginia
And knowing how hard it is to achieve
When it comes time to focus it's like pushing a button
When it's something that I realize I wanna do
Sweaty, sweaty, sweaty. On man. Sweaty
My mother was the first to graduate from high school
In her family and college
You know I credit a lot to her dedication
To making sure that she wasn't the mediocre
That she was surrounded by
So you know I didn't wanna be that either
One of the highlights of actually becoming 30 this year was
The 30 for 30 through my foundation Angels with Heart
Where we were able to you know
Help people in various ways every day of the month
Not just me and my team helping people but
You know engage in my fans and other people to get involved with it
And here I am tonight we having probably 18th
30th dinner celebration or however many it is
So we got 12 more to go I'm just playing
Hit that 30 mark. I've been told is like the glory years
The golden years
Happy birthday. Thank you for your consistent support in my career too
A lot of reflecting going on
Not only as an artist but just as a man
Just realizing how blessed I am to have
Reached the age of 30 first of all
Because a lot of black men don't see that age
Black men where I'm from if they do see that age
They behind bars or you know and in a bad situation so
It's a blessing
I feel great. You feel feel good don't you?
I feel awesome.
You feel good you look great
I feel like I'm walking into the best part of my life
I know Trey that's such a good way to feel
It's awesome. And everything on the trajectory of this whole month
Was like wow too
Good things are really just beginning for you. Right
Life is mostly about the impact you have on other's lives
Than anything else
Our job is not just to raise artists
You have to read young men and women
He wouldn't wanna contribute to society and be good people
So when I tell you he's one of us
He's really one of us
So we raise a glass in your honor
