I admire people like you that no alcohol, no weed, no nothing, just discipline.
I admire that.
It just, it builds us to be a little stronger, you know, because man, I done
been through so much shit in life and watched a lot of people go through stuff,
stuff that make them take their life because it may be real crucial, but when
you get to getting to the point of where I am, you deal with everything head up,
it's like it ain't really much.
It's, it ain't like it's a breeze or a cakewalk every time, but for the most
part, we'd be like, man, it'd be, I'll deal with it. And, you know, that's what
keep me going.
Well, I guess also if you get used to just dealing with shit, then you get
strong at dealing with shit. Whereas if you're just drowning it out all the
time, then that becomes a habit.
But it's so crazy. It's a, it became even a bigger habit for me, right? I don't
know how long ago it was when I got shot, but when I got shot, they ended up,
um,
they actually, the crazy thing is they never, they didn't do surgery or
anything. Right. I got shot.
It was so many people outside the hospital that they were like, man, we need to
get him out of here.
Cause they ain't, they never seen nothing like that. So they don't know if the
people outside was against me or was for me.
They just never seen it. So, um, long story short, um, left, got home,
cleaned around and just got the bleeding to stop. But, um,
days later they tried to prescribe me medicine. I think I took the medicine
probably for
the first five, six days. And then once I decided that I could make it through
half a day without it,
I'm just like, man, fuck it. I'm just, it can't get no worse than this. You
know what I'm saying?
It only get better. So dealing with that, that's just, it, it, it developed a
habit of anything I do.
I just go at it about that way. I don't know if you ever seen on, on, on
YouTube. I took the bullet
out myself. Jesus. Yeah. Yeah. But it's just, where'd you get shot?
I got shot directly in my back and, um, it shattered my shoulder blade and
spent to my, uh,
shoulder. So it sat there for like four or five years. And it's so crazy, right?
When you hear
people tell you the story. There it is. Yeah. So that's me taking it out. So it
was pushing out.
How long after you got shot? Yeah. About five. It could have been like five
years,
five years. So the bullet was still, it was working its way out of your skin
for five years. Wow.
Dude, that's crazy. And went on and continued my day.
Did you get it stitched up at least? No. Really? Yeah. But it, it healed like
it was supposed to,
man. I, one, the fact that I'm not doing surgery on me when I got shot and it
healed, I was,
that was a cakewalk at that point. So. Why didn't they want to do surgery?
One, I, I don't know if for them not have, I guess for how many people was
there so fast,
and then them not being able to go in and know if it's somewhere that was
damaging or,
or however you want to put the words. But, um, that shit, they were like, man,
get them up out of here. And that was just the reality of it. But the only bad
thing is
cause they didn't move it. And it was there. It got tangled up in a lot of my,
um,
nerves and muscle. So like, if you ever pay attention to me, like I can't lift
my arm directly
straight up or do a lot of different things cause it was sitting in there for
so many years.
That's got to piss you off. Cause they could have just pulled that out. Right.
Yeah, definitely. Cause it was, it was so close to the edge. Cause from the
time I got shot to the time it came out,
you could always feel it. So it was that close.
That's the thing about doctors. Like you get a really good doctor or you can
get a doctor that's like,
fucking leave it in there. And it's, and it's crazy, right? Man. Cause you,
I help a lot of kids in life and you watch some of these doctors, they take a,
a personal liking and loving to these kids and, you know,
just trying to figure out ways to help them or even some of the elders.
And then you got some people like shit, ah, it ain't going to work. They ain't
going to make it.
You know what I'm saying? That's the fucked up part about it.
Yeah. Well, I think some people get real calloused, unfortunately.
I see a lot of people die and then they lose their feeling for it and other
people never do.
That's the best thing about great doctors is you just really appreciate them.
If someone who really cares, you really appreciate them.
That, that extra, that extra,
let's try it one more time. Sometimes can change everything as opposed to it.
There's nothing else we can do.
Yeah. Especially when someone's got a bullet in their shoulder.
Get it out of there, man.
Especially if it was right there.
Like how far below the surface was it like when you first went in?
Oh, no. So when I first went in, it was literally, it was just bulging like, um,
So it was like at the skin?
Yeah. So if you do this, you could always, always feel it.
So though, like when you look at the video that was on YouTube,
by that point it broke the skin on its own.
Cause you know, you'll hear stories like bullets going, they'll push their way
out or you'll hear the stories or during rain or cold weather that'll make you
feel some way like that shit really for real.
