Ladies and gentlemen, around the world, it's the meaning of TK Kirkland, you listen to the TK Kirkland podcast.

Listen to the ladies and gentlemen, the TK Kirkland podcast is brother reached out to me.

Well, I try to be all over the world and I just felt his energy and I felt like I need to call him today, that next week.

That next month, that next year. So talk to me, what's up, yeah?

What's going on, man? It's funny, man, it's for you to reach out so fast because, man, I'll be at work and I'll be listening to your podcast, man.

And I think I work at $8 a shift and I think, man, you get me through about half of my shift just because I got stuff I listen to in the morning and I listen to you afterwards.

A lot of the stories that you know, people that come on, especially some of the guys, is just sound like me.

When I'm talking to a lot of the guys that I, you know, hang with or kick you with or whatever, just some of the stories like, man, how to know some of the stuff that you're dealing with, but I know everybody don't.

You know, everybody ain't, you know, raised by, you know, people like you or whatever. So in my case, man, I'm a, I'm 34, I'm soon to be 35.

And I married us, got three kids.

Just living my life, man, out of business, man, I'd have been in the streets, you know what I'm saying, transition out of the streets.

You know, working in and got myself together on my home, I'll write, you know, you know, anything I got to pay on these taxes and stuff like that.

And just, you know, staying care of myself and my family, you know what I'm saying?

But that's, man, not trying to, not trying to, you know, down nobody else or whatever, but I, you know, I don't cry with spilled milk, man, I left my, I mean, I lost my mom at a young age.

So in life, I'm just used to losing things, but I've been noticing like lately, as far as you come to France, especially males, I lose, males, that's supposed to be my guy's guys that I've been with for years.

You know, because if we look at the world, and they got this victim mentality, mentality, there's always me, like, you know, they got proud that they put themselves in, like some of them guys, like, you know, guys, you know, they girls or whatever happening, you know, what come with that.

You know what I'm saying? We all just, we're here as we fall, and it's like, well, how you, you know, how you don't know this? So it's like, I'm the type, I'm the friend that's going to tell you what it is.

Not this is correct, and you, but just telling me you really what it is, and, you know, I'm going to see myself just losing these guys that supposed to be my guys.

And, you know, honestly, man, it hurts a little bit because he was like, man, you know, keeping it real, which you like this, which, which me.

So I'm at a place with just one to my 35 year, they're like, you know, some of these guys, like, you know, I, you know, people getting a, they feel it's where they want to not deal with you.

Whatever it is for me, it's like, I'm at a place where I ain't let niggas back in, like, bro, you don't go, but don't, don't come back with all that.

And I'm just trying to really figure out how to navigate it without, because I know we need people, I, I be a fool that I don't need, you know, people in my life, you know what I'm saying?
