Look, we break it down, down, down, down, down.

She break it down, down, down, down, down, down.

She got to message for the people, a brilliant mind and a clean soul.

She's standing up to the evil in making sure that we all grow strong enough

To break these change we're in

They keep us in this painful condition

She gave us truth and division

That's why we listen

She break it down, down, down, down, down

Down, down

She break it down, down, down, down she break it down down down down down down down down down what is it that I have to do that's so important that I'll die if I don't

I was watching this interview by Tony Morrison this morning and I got to that question and she answered it and she said, you know, raising my children in writing. And when I paused it and asked the question out loud, I just started sobbing because I know my answer with ease. But what makes me so emotional is how many people are just out here just miscellaneous, have no clue. What is the thing that is so important to you that you will die if you don't do it? I feel like I'm just starting to repeat the same messages over and over again because it feels like this is what 2026 has called me to is really just preaching and teaching the gospel of there's no point to this life but your purpose. Life is like a blade of grass. It's here one day and going the next. Life is long but it's brief. Life is difficult but also beautiful. Life is a raggedy bitch and also wonderful. And also there's no point to this

life but your purpose. Now I'm saying that, you know, growing up in the way that we were raised,

we had like this path, like step one, step two, step three. And a lot of what that did to us is it really made us believe that there was a way to be right. There was a way to be human. There was a way to be holy. There was a way to prove that you love God. There was a way to be accepted.

And so nobody, like even in the messages about individualism and, you know, being creative and being an innovator, There was a way to be accepted. And so nobody, like, even in the

messages about individualism and, you know, being creative and being an innovator, it was only to a certain extent. Nobody really told you that you have permission to really explore and to do deep work internally to figure out who is actual you. Like, who actual you really is? What does that voice? What does it sound like? What does God really sound like to you? Outside of the voice of your pastor, even outside of the voice of your Bible hour, outside of the voice of your priest.

And because that hasn't been cultivated you've really lost the connection to your own instinct to your own inner guard dog to your own inner voice to what God sounds like to you specifically and so you don't know what is the thing that you have to do so so sincerely that you will die if you don't do maybe this is the benediction to every single video for 2026. The earth is groaning with labor pains, waiting for the revealing of the sons of God. That's in the Bible. And so maybe that's the answer to your question. The thing that you have to do so sincerely that if you don't do it, you will die, maybe you've got to figure out what the earth is groaning out in labor pains

waiting for you to reveal. I think that's probably it. I need a gospel track for hallelujah
