sounds like he so do do our apologies do
3:17

3:19
do you think they're insincere like
3:22
apologies I could been when I'm wrong as
3:25
a man like even if I'm arguing with my
3:28
woman and she have a valid point I say
3:30
bae you know what I was dead ass wrong
3:32
for that I was wrong I'm not about to
3:35
apologize I was dead ass wrong the best
3:38
apology is change
3:39
Behavior I like that Kevin Gates man
3:42
when I listen yeah um I go back that's
3:44
just me holding myself accountable I
3:46
take self- accountability like I take
3:48
that super serious with myself right now
3:50
and I I used to think it was like um I
3:54
used to hide the fact that I talk to
3:56
myself but now I promote the fact that I
3:58
talk to myself because that's how I
4:00
process things I'm in tune with me I
4:03
don't want to understand I want to have
4:04
a I want to develop an understanding a
4:07
understand and a cultivation of self so
4:09
that's why I hold myself accountable I'm
4:11
I beat myself up so the world can't like
4:14
I'm not happy unless I honor the
4:17
commitments I made to myself I can't
4:19
Empower others if I'm not empowering
4:21
myself what was the last thing you you
4:24
beat yourself up about that you had to
4:26
have a
4:27
conversation with yourself honoring my
4:30
commitments I allow things to um I allow
4:33
myself to be distracted that's why I say
4:35
in the um can I curse yeah go can I use
4:38
profanity and when I use profanity it's
4:40
not like I'm doing it to be like um
4:43
vulgar I'm just expressing strong
4:45
feeling like I can say sway watch out
4:46
for that tree but if I say sway watch
4:49
out for that [ __ ]
4:51
tree you know I express strong feeling
4:53
strong emotions it's an En on one of my
4:56
songs I said I'm Purpose Driven I'm
4:58
developing riches you pleasure driven
5:00
you develop addictions elevated and
5:02
ranking my dick is not friendly I would
5:04
not be distracted by
5:07
women manifestation my seeming retention
5:10
brought everything that I want into
5:12
fruition and I just I I I'm just like
5:14
I'm Purpose Driven I'm on my purpose
5:17
I've heard you talk about seeming
5:18
retention before and and um I'm a firm
5:22
believer that's that's the lyrics to the
5:24
uh on that song ceremony yeah on the
5:26
ceremony song yes sir can you speak to
5:29
how you said uh see the benefits of
5:32
seman retention that you the physical I
5:34
want to say this look at me this the
5:37
benefits of it look at me MH that's the
5:40
benefits of it I I just went on a 7 Day
5:42
fast I ain't eat nothing for seven days
5:44
but my listening part it was just
5:46
amazing but I needed Clarity so I had to
5:49
clean my temple out the only way the
5:51
most high can abide in the temple is
5:52
when your temple is clean but a great
5:54
responsibility come with saying your
5:56
body is your temper God body covered by
5:58
the highest they guns hold no power to
6:00
this Holy Temple how you kill a god when
6:03
Allah La called him the only time he
6:04
goes when Allah La called him you know I
6:07
my body my temple so when everybody was
6:09
in there drinking I just had apple juice
6:12
a great responsibility come with that I
6:14
I that's what made me stop drinking cuz
6:16
like you not ready to call your body
6:18
your temple cuz you ain't ready to take
6:20
responsibility somebody told me that
6:23
somebody told you that and then I was
6:24
like you right cuz it takes a lot it
6:28
ain't an easy Journey right all those
6:30
things it takes a lot to keep your Tempo
6:33
Inta when I first came out and talked
6:34
about Seaman retention everybody laughed
6:36
at me I didn't laugh now that's that's
6:38
all you hear now yeah mhm the life force
6:40
is sacred M now that's all you hear is
6:43
everybody talking about that's what they
6:44
do now wonder where they got that from
6:46
yeah is Sean retention the same as
6:49
celibacy no ma'am okay discipline seman
6:53
retention take real discipline mhm but
6:56
to be honest with you I I don't even
6:57
like to even talk about those things
6:59
anymore because it's not it's not that I
7:03
even hate the word sex because it's
7:05
spiritual unification but whenever I
7:07
would have a sexually related
7:08
conversation people take little small
7:10
sound bits and clips and make go viral
7:13
off a small clip and then go to the
7:15
interview and see what I said made sense
7:17
that's true but they try to make me look
7:18
like a clown in the in for clickbait and
7:21
things of that nature so I had to
7:23
realize that with
7:25
psychology even though a teacher may
7:27
have a masters in Psychology when they
7:29
teach in elementary school they they
7:32
meet the child at the level that the
7:33
child is at mhm yes so you know some
7:36
conversations are too high frequency for
7:38
people that's vibrating at a low
7:39
frequency I can't cast my pearls to the
7:42
swine they going to take them and just
7:43
and [ __ ] all over them that's real they
7:45
frivolous with it too so real very
7:47
frivolous that's the so that's why I
7:49
stay away from them type of topics cuz I
7:51
operate in a I operate in a realm that's
7:54
that's outside of the the the
7:56
understanding of most people cuz common
7:58
sense is not really common anym
8:00
but how did you find your path into that
8:02
realm like your spirituality I know this
8:04
ceremony project really touches into
8:06
that right when did I become not afraid
8:10
to speak about it cuz I've been
8:11
spiritual
8:12
okay um 2021 that's when I said I'm done
8:18
I'm I'm I'm not even pretending no more
8:21
like like it was one time I was out here
8:24
at a club Something Told me get out of
8:26
here I left then a big fight erupted but
8:29
I was gone unscathed I pay attention to
8:32
my inner self mhm it's people that I
8:34
could look at from down the street and I
8:35
know that they not right for me but I
8:38
done dealt with them anyway and guess
8:41
what I can't say I suffered the
8:43
consequences I had to learn a valuable
8:44
lesson yeah I had to learn a
8:47
lesson had to follow that inner voice
8:50
the lesson the lesson taught me to start
8:53
trust in myself more M cuz you was never
8:56
wrong right Kevin gase HB
9:00
wow thank you for being here thank you
9:02
for having me um I appreciate what
9:05
you're saying and your truth I do um I
9:09
was blessed enough to come in this
9:10
industry as an artist and I I've gone
9:14
through my Journeys yes ma'am and um
9:16
Sway and I because we've known each
9:18
other now for three decades we
9:21
consciously made the decision I've been
9:23
knowing you for over a
9:25
decade K said don't time me out no no no
9:28
no no but I and I know that but Sway and
9:31
I made the conscious decision for this
9:33
place to be a safe space for people to
9:35
come and share what exactly what you
9:37
just shared and I just want to say to
9:40
you without going there thank you and
9:44
you are absolutely doing what you needed
9:46
to do I didn't know about any of this
9:48
I'm listening like I'm hearing this for
9:50
the very first time but the first thing
9:52
I did when you well you did when you
9:54
walked in the room you hugged me and my
9:56
spirit it felt right and what did I say
9:58
to you I said God bless Bless you that's
10:00
what I said I didn't know you said that
10:01
God bless you also God bless you for he
10:04
who has seen me has seen God yes God
10:07
bless you because I felt it so God Bless
10:09
you that's all I want to say again to
10:11
you today God bless God bless you also
10:13
thank you you're welcome I receive it
10:15
amen amen Kevin Gates here man we
10:18
celebrating the ceremony uh Tracy I'm
10:21
going let you jump in I saw that
10:24
smile you know Kevin um I think what
10:28
you're describing is is really having a
10:30
relationship with your intuition and
10:32
also developing the muscle of
10:33
discernment no that's not what I'm
10:35
talking about okay intuition is a
10:37
beautiful thing women are naturally
10:39
gifted with intuition because women are
10:42
um spiritual they can transform liquid
10:45
into something physical that's why I
10:47
would never lie to a woman cuz that
10:49
intuition is naturally god-given wisdom
10:52
so like if you go in the house they got
10:54
I know Killers they're scared to tell
10:55
their women the truth but I believe
10:57
honesty is the best policy I'm just
10:59
giving you hypothetical M but you have
11:01
to be brutally honest with a woman
11:02
because her intuition not going to
11:04
mislead her she know they scared to go
11:06
tell a woman hey where you been Bae I've
11:08
been [ __ ] the truth and when you tell
11:11
her the truth guess what she could do
11:14
she can heal you and cleanse you of all
11:15
of that come get these sins off me Bae
11:18
but if you don't tell her the truth
11:20
guess what her intuition going to be
11:22
over here and her womb that's a separate
11:24
chakra guess what you could offset up pH
11:27
levels cuz she hasn't processed it right
11:29
when you give a woman an option you know
11:31
she treats you like God Amen you're not
11:34
lying about that I'm talking about but
11:36
what I have has to be cultivated M
11:39
there's not no there's not no intuition
11:41
right here this is pure Vision this is
11:44
cultivated this is I'm operating in a
11:47
different dimension in a different realm
11:48
this has to be cultivated this comes
11:50
from a lot of fasting this comes from
11:51
going Beyond the Veil this come from
11:53
fasting to 42 days sometime 21 days when
11:57
in my spirit called to do it I just
11:59
don't eat nothing this is when the veils
12:01
is weakened on the ass so I can see
12:03
things that other people can't see
12:05
people going to say I'm tripping I'm
12:06
crazy that's cool but I'm winning look
12:08
at me and look at you it's got to be
12:10
developed I'm glowing you're
12:12
not when it comes to your um audience
12:16
when you had mentioned earlier about
12:19
knowing that even if you have a PhD in
12:21
Psychology and you're teaching first
12:23
graders you got to be able to break it
12:25
down at a place you got to be a to speak
12:27
in lamman terms do you feel like for
12:29
your direct audience that you're able to
12:33
speak to them completely free on the um
12:35
on the on the ceremony album I do it and
12:38
I'm not trying to insert it but this was
12:40
the first time I did that I spoke about
12:42
like
12:43
spirituality the act of breathing real
12:46
spirituality remembering the
12:49
remembrance cuz every cell in your body
12:51
can holds
12:53
memory every Cale yes and when you not
12:56
in tune with yourself and you lying on
12:57
yourself to be distracted such is even
12:59
sleeping with the phone in the room
13:00
especially women they don't need to have
13:02
the phone in the room at all because
13:03
they're governed by the moon MH and it
13:06
disrupts the Melatonin Cycles this when
13:08
they get their psychic downloads Yep
13:10
this is when they get their downloads
13:12
that wisdom that they can impute to me
13:14
so I could go out and execute it so it's
13:17
you know it works together the son being
13:19
the strict father that's the that's the
13:21
masculine yep the mother earth the
13:24
feminine energy the holy divine feminine
13:26
and the sacred masculinity together as
13:28
one create what life Y what can you
13:32
speak to your your information how did
13:35
you acquire your information um what are
13:38
some of the outlets you went to it came
13:40
from the celestial Court above mhm when
13:42
a student ready to learn the teacher
13:44
will appear I can't really speak on what
13:46
it is that I underwent but when a
13:49
student is truly ready to learn I'm
13:51
talking about pure of heart when you say
13:52
man I don't had enough I'm sick of this
13:55
mhm the teacher will
13:57
appeal and and guess how the teacher
13:59
going to come how is that might come
14:02
like you might come like Miss Heather be
14:04
you going to you going you going to
14:05
receive these this information these
14:07
downloads it's like putting a piece of a
14:08
puzzle together you on a journey that's
14:11
why you can't judge nobody and Sh people
14:13
cuz you never know who going to hold a
14:14
next key for this
14:16
puzzle that we call life that we call
14:19
life like I was against yoga uhhuh but
14:23
me taking but me saying I ain't about to
14:25
go do no yoga but once I started doing
14:27
yoga m it speared me into a different
14:30
direction had I not did it I wouldn't be
14:33
nowhere close to where I'm at right now
14:35
so that was a piece of the puzzle a
14:36
small piece of the puzzle I can achieve
14:39
whatever I want to just through the act
14:40
of breathing something that we don't do
14:42
cuz we operate out of fight or flight so
14:45
by helping the world heal I found my
14:47
mission when I help the world heal
14:49
especially men when I help the world
14:51
heal I got to say it again especially
14:54
men I in turn really help myself heal
14:57
cuz I talk to myself every day all day I
15:00
enjoy my conversations I do that a lot
15:02
to you like intellig conversation yes
15:04
sir yes sir I never let me down yes sir
15:07
mad interesting uh I want to play this
15:09
song called heal you yes Lord speak to
15:13
that song cuz you've been mentioning
15:15
you've been saying the word heal a lot
15:17
yeah I heal [ __ ] a transfer energy is
15:19
healing my energy is very healing but I
15:22
have to be careful because you have to
15:24
be careful because you can admit so much
15:27
energy into others you can pour in
15:28
others so much that you forget to pour
15:30
into yourself and that's when we age
15:32
that's when we become drain you ever had
15:34
a conversation with somebody and you
15:35
like man [ __ ] so exhausted I'm drain
15:37
but you have a conversation with
15:38
somebody and then you feel refreshed at
15:41
they gave you life other people they
15:43
just took energy they was energy
15:45
vampires and that's when I made with it
15:47
right now I had to learn how to set them
15:49
healthy boundaries but I hear [ __ ] here
15:51

16:47
a little at a time you know the slower
16:49
you go the further you get there you go
16:51
anything fast don't last right yep like
16:54
that's like you showed me a man like
16:57
like and I and I mean this with all do
16:59
disrespect like I don't listen at a fat
17:01
motivational speaker cuz I used to be
17:04
fat I was I was 310 PBS I was a SLO you
17:09
know what I'm saying and I used to go in
17:11
and point out everybody else flaws cuz I
17:13
had a fear of somebody seeing me for me
17:16
it took anger frustration and when I
17:18
told you about the little baby was
17:19
trying to suck my titty and everybody
17:21
laughed at me and I needed that cuz that
17:25
was harsh reality but that's what
17:26
motivated me to put in the work I have
17:28
to be the message that I bring I can't
17:30
listen to Somebody Empower me if they
17:32
not empowering their self I Empower
17:34
myself that's how I'm able to empower
17:36
others one thing about it is habits I
17:39
honor the commitments I make to myself
17:41
like discipline self-restraint equals
17:43
self resect self resect equal
17:45
self-confidence that's why when I walk
17:46
in the room I I know I honor my
17:48
commitment I ran that mile before I came
17:49
here so I'm high off me yeah I like that
17:53
come on let's get back to what you're
17:55
going to do in the gym today sway
17:56
because Kevin before we came here sway
17:58
told me he walked in the gym yesterday
18:00
and walked out he did a couple shots you
18:03
showed up he showed up that's what we
18:04
were talking about the first step yep he
18:06
showed up just had that TV talking about
18:09
you that like you if you can't eat you
18:11
can't sleep you can't you you no pain no
18:13
G if your body is in pain that is an
18:15
indication that something is off balance
18:17
something is you're you're not in
18:19
alignment don't go in there try to kill
18:21
yourself you go in there and do what you
18:23
can do all you can do is all you can do
18:25
I did shoot around a little bit you told
18:27
me I said that
18:29
like I don't like that like when people
18:30
say no you got to go no that's not true
18:33
cuz they not living like that tell me
18:35
about this album the ceremony because
18:37
when I go back to Isaiah I went back and
18:39
listened to a lot of the projects that
18:41
you've done um talk to me about yeah the
18:45
identity of this
18:46
one reuniting with my authentic self
18:49
okay know I I was like so many others in
18:52
the world like living in a um a facade
18:56
showing you what what I thought was
18:57
accept what I thought you wanted to see
19:00
you know I was living in my truth but
19:02
you remember last time when I used to
19:03
come up here I used to have Ser in the
19:05
cup that's right you know I was on drugs
19:07
things of that nature you know the
19:08
things that people don't like to look at
19:10
but I'm going to tell the truth but I
19:12
used to think that external things added
19:14
value but external things don't add
19:17
value inside is what counts you know and
19:21
we condition like that from Pirate and
19:23
stricken situations because it's like if
19:24
I want the girl you know I got to have a
19:27
car I got to have the money and a gun to
19:31
get a girlfriend you know we we think
19:34
that things give us happiness but things
19:36
don't make us happy external things
19:39
don't add value to who we are it's us
19:41
being who we are authentically that's
19:43
what adds the value that's why my
19:44
listening part I just
19:46
had it was the first time like that I
19:49
allowed myself to be celebrated and it
19:52
was so beautiful and I went in there
19:54
with just a little small little watch on
19:55
that somebody had gifted me shout out to
19:57
emit and he had gifted me this little
19:59
small little watch it was it was
20:00
beautiful it was rare because he know
20:02
I'm a rare watch collector I like rare
20:04
things so I just went and I said I ain't
20:06
even going to wear no jewelry cuz I am
20:08

20:55
nothing I don't see nothing different to
20:57

artist that did this I never sold my
21:06

21:22
goat hurter chickens and dogs and camels
21:25
and I got cattle Meat Processing Plant
21:28
mhm I got
21:30
coffee and I got a brand of coffee that
21:33
just came out I'm a general I'm one of
21:35
the generals and like like in the
21:37
morning is my ritual I get up in the
21:39
morning I take a cold shower black
21:41
coffee pray stretch do my little yoga
21:43
then I go work out that's my ritual so I
21:45
name my coffee brand ritual oh okay nice
21:48
cuz that's part of my morning ritual
21:50
that's part of my routine mhm do you
21:53
brew I mean you grow the beans on your
21:55
land yes sir my man Kevin Gat Dam not on
21:58
not on not on that form okay but it's
22:01
yeah it's it's on another form it's on
22:03
another form like me my partners okay
22:06
and the blend was selected by me it's
22:08
it's custom made cuz you know I'm a
22:10
coffee connoisseur you know anywhere I
22:12
go I want to taste different blends but
22:13
I got a nicely blend it's just it's
22:15
tailored for me it's a medium roast it's
22:18
a roast where you in the morning you
22:19
could go work out on it late night you
22:21
could readly book I don't know if y'all
22:23
do this but I drink coffee at night time
22:25
before I go to sleep too that doesn't
22:27
keep you up or is it sir M and it's not
22:30
a decaf mm I tell my body what to do on
22:34
this holy Divine day I here by release
22:36
all the energy that no longer serve my
22:38
higher self so it is when I pray I just
22:41
tell God I'm grateful and I'm thankful
22:43
anything I want I command a Ferrari I
22:45
command a por if that's what I wanted I
22:47
command the things that I want but I
22:49
pray when I pray I'm just out of
22:51
gratitude I'm thankful for this I'm
22:53
thankful for that I'm thankful for this
22:54
but anything I want to manifest it I
22:56
just it just comes to me I attract
23:00
it I got to be very careful though
23:02
responsibility to come with that cuz I
23:04
could attract the wrong thing so I got
23:06
to be conscious if I have a like a
23:08
thought I can't Loop in a negative
23:10
thought I got to learn from the lesson
23:12
and move on attach a positive
23:14
connotation to it because I could
23:15
attract that to me also so I got to just
23:18
be you know real cognitive with like my
23:21
thoughts cuz your thoughts become your
23:23
words your words become your actions
23:24
your actions become your habits and I
23:26
got to beat myself up so to world can't
23:28
beat me up cuz the world could be a
23:30
cruel place at times but it also could
23:32
be a beautiful place cuz once you change
23:34
your perspective that's when miracles
23:35
happen and that's what I had to do get
23:37
out my own [ __ ] way and stop being a
23:39
dummy Kevin Gates man I love it Heather

24:40
now that I I hear the voices I listen to
24:42
the voices that voice is my inner spirit
24:44
that voices my inner side and everything
24:46
that I didn't do not listening to those
24:49
voices I ended up paying for it just

25:26
it's not that it's just that energy

yeah the language of
25:30
En words are primitive any you could
25:33
walk in the room I could talk good as a
25:34
[ __ ] all day but anybody that's in tune
25:37
with energy and in tune with themselves
25:39

25:53
why I say suspect evil or no one until

and Philly go ahead rob you what's
27:43
goody what's up family Happy New Year to
27:46
my people i y since last
27:50
year y let me get straight to it yo
27:53
Kevin Gates I'mma give you your props
27:55
I'mma tell you something man I'm 55
27:57
years old April 30th I found out the man
28:00
that I called my father wasn't my father
28:03
so you hit it on the head because at 14
28:05
I asked the man are you my father why
28:08
you hate me so bad why you treat me so
28:10
bad he answered nothing that was the
28:12
answer until that day on April 30th I
28:15
was
28:16
seeking a approval from a man that
28:19
wasn't even my father yes sir so when
28:21
you sit there and you say listen to
28:24
yourself I always talk to myself all my
28:27
life you know who I was talking to the
28:28
Divine one cuz I never had a father but
28:31
was always a son so I'm going tell you
28:33
Kevin Gates I ain't never rock out with
28:35
your music because you a thug I thought
28:38
I was a thug but you was a thug and I
28:41
like how you thugging everything you
28:42
doing and you believe in yourself and
28:44
you turned your life around and I that's
28:47
what I'm more amazed at but the music
28:48
was the vehicle that drove you to where
28:50
you at right now where you able to speak
28:53
life into people like myself you my old
28:56
head and I'm I'm your young boy cuz I'm
28:58
55 and you knew this all this time and
29:00
you walking into your destiny and I tell
29:03
you my man keep doing what you doing
29:05
because a man like me I knew what I
29:08
wanted to do but I allow outside voices
29:11
and outside people to dictate how I move
29:13
and that's why I made my mistake because
29:15
I achieved a lot at a young
29:18
age and when you're around a bunch of
29:20
lames and you around a bunch of pigeons
29:22
and you an eagle you gonna be afraid to
29:25
fly but you got to be bold and say you
29:27
know what I'm stepping out this flock
29:28
and I'm gonna do what I do so Kevin
29:30
Gates my man keep doing what you doing I
29:33
love you I ain't afraid to say that I'm
29:36
I'm so proud that you're not ashamed to
29:38
show who you are as a man cuz that's the
29:41
truth definition of a man not being
29:43
afraid it take more courage to show
29:45
vulnerability than to do to walk around
29:47
being a tough guy cuz everybody know you
29:49
faking but vulnerability it it's it's
29:53
it's difficult at times yeah yo man
29:55
I'mma follow you I ain't on no social
29:57
platforms cuz I'm one of them old school
29:59
players that information Ain you ain't
30:01
supposed to show everybody your shine
30:03
cuz [ __ ] going to throw M mud on you
30:05
at the end of the day I'm I'm trying to
30:07
adapt to a new way of thinking because
30:09
in order to follow somebody like you I
30:11
have to go where you're at and I'm not
30:14
ashamed or afraid to admit that because
30:16
a lot of us old school dudes we St in
30:18
our ways we don't want to change but the
30:20
world is changing so in order to to
30:22
maintain and and go forth we have to
30:24
change in the D we're in a divide right
30:26
now we in a Great Divide right now you
30:29
either vibrate low or you vibrate High
30:31
yeah and that's just where we at right
30:32
now it's a division going on cuz I
30:34
notied like with all of my old friends
30:37
since I started making like conscious
30:40
and healthy decisions I didn't have to
30:42
sit healthy boundaries the boundaries
30:44
sit theyel I go to bed at 7 or 8:00 p.m.
30:47
