They're from the different side of the flag, and they just embrace me wholeheartedly. You know what I'm saying? They let me know I didn't help them get through a couple bids or, you know, them years. They don't walk them calendars down to my music. And, you know, I think that's the, that's why I get most of the, just the motivation to keep pressing. Because it'd be a lot of times where I'd be like, I'm tired of this shit, man. I'm feeling far back. but they give me that inspiration. To know you don't connect it with somebody. Most definitely.
