0:07.0	What have you had to forgive the most about yourself?
0:15.0	One of the things that I definitely felt was I wish I would have been there more for my daughter in her formative years because I was chasing. I wasn't there for her on her first day of kindergarten because I had just released a record and I was performing at the R&B Museum in Philadelphia was a big deal and I'm
0:39.1	singing and doing this stuff. But my daughter screaming because dad wasn't there and I'm telling this small kid,

2:05.0	you guys always go in and going and go in there was no stability or you know that feeling and so we had stability but of a different kind like she wants like the white picket fence stability right she's like I want this so it's
