Why Kids Stop Working00:05:05
Y'all want to know why I can't work?
I can't work because I have kids.
Not that I don't want to work.
I want to work.
That's even more of a reason to get a job.
You got people to support.
That's crazy.
Maybe she's got so many kids.
She can't afford the daycare or whatever.
Wait a minute.
Did I hear that right?
She said, I can't work because I have kids.
Y'all want to know why I can't work?
I can't work because I have kids.
Not that I don't want to work.
I want to work.
I want a job.
I want a routine.
But I have kids and no support system.
I moved to a completely new state away from all of my family so that I can be in a better situation.
So her family is ghetto as hell.
Yeah.
And she had to get away from them.
Yeah, she said that that would actually improve her situation.
Right.
Moving away from all her family.
What kind of family are we talking here?
Yeah.
And these are the steps and processes that I have to go through.
So with that being said, applying for jobs is not easy.
I have this big of an availability and a lot of jobs don't like that.
So when I'm going through the hiring process and we're going through availability and all of these things and when my window is only three or maybe four hours where I can work or initially I couldn't establish secure child care.
Yeah, I had a voucher, but I had a newborn infant, breastfed infant at that, where it's not easy to just leave my baby with anybody just so that I can meet all of y'all's standards and expectations.
No.
All of our standards.
That should be your standard.
You're talking about all of our standards.
That should be your standard.
Like we asking, well, like the criticism she gets online.
Like they're asking for too much from her.
Yeah.
Oh, I'm going to continue to do what's best for me and my children and make sure they're good.
If you don't like it, it's fine.
God is on my side.
People like to put a guard.
God's on my side.
I'm on the right side of history.
People always say that.
You're just projecting.
And that's all that matters.
So now when things change, when I can find secure child care that I trust, and my child and me are ready for her to go to daycare, then hey, when my kids, when I can get my kids in the after-school YMCA program to open that availability, then hey.
But until then, being a mother just doesn't allow me to work right now.
And I'm doing what's best for me and mine.
I seriously doubt that.
You're lazy.
You're living off a government assistance.
That's not what I guess.
What's best for your kids is being a good role model for your kids.
Yeah.
Showing what hard work ethic, good work ethic is like.
Making a good, good decisions.
I guarantee you, if they took it away from her, EBT food stamps, she would find a way.
She would then go out and get a job because she doesn't have that crutch anymore to be a para, to have this parasitic relationship with the government.
Yeah, but you know what?
It sounds like she is trying.
She trying what?
She moved away from a gangster ass family.
So I applaud her for those efforts.
She's trying to start over.
She don't have anybody.
You know, she don't have anybody.
She needs a good man.
That's what you need, man.
Need a good man, go out there, put food on the table, go out there and work them 40, them 60 hours.
Provide some security for her and them damn kids she got.
I don't know, fine, but just remember: we could all be in my shoes.
No, I've never been your shoes.
I'd never been in your shoes.
Nope, that didn't happen by accident.
Those shoes you're wearing right now.
Made a lot of awful mistakes.
Yeah, you let some gangsters just go up inside of you and just bust all kinds of gangster juice.
Yeah, getting pregnant is like not like catching a cold or something.
Yeah, a few steps had to take place.
Check out steps.
Yeah, a lot of steps.
You know how many, you know how many pumps he's got to do to get her pregnant.
Check this new chick out.
It takes a lot of work.
Yeah, check out this next chick.
Anytime.
Love y'all.
The Trap of Free Money00:04:25
They all on my phone tell me we ain't gonna get our food stamps November.
Let my shit not come on the 15th.
Let my shit not come on the 15th and I'm gonna show them why I went to jail twice.
I don't give a I'm not I'm not in a mood.
My birthday is in December.
Did she hear that smoke detector girl?
Got the bonnet, got the smoke detector going.
Wow, man.
It's crazy, man.
You uploaded this video looking for clout.
I don't know what they think they're looking for, but you complaining that you're not getting, man, I would be.
I don't know, man.
I just got too much pride for me to go on the internet, produce a video, upload it.
Say, man, you better have my damn snap benefits.
Or I'm going to show you why I went to prison.
If I don't get my snap benefits, I'm going to start snapping people.
Yeah.
I'm in Marzono.
I was out on a workers' comp.
I couldn't work.
I hurt my back.
That drove me crazy just waiting for that check in the mail.
This is so long ago.
Yeah.
I was, man, this is dehumanizing.
20 years ago.
It was 20 years ago.
I just hate I was out.
I worked for like a year, but I was getting paid.
I was getting a check.
And I just, some insurance.
I hated having to rely on a check in the mail.
They couldn't even direct deposit the money.
You had to get that check.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I hated depending on that.
Yeah, I know.
And you know what?
When it was time to get off, I was like, wait a minute, I ain't ready to get off.
Because it makes you lazy, too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's a detrimental impact on your work ethic.
Yeah.
When you know you, because once you get on, get on, once you start receiving money for free, it makes you lazy.
Yeah.
You know what they call it?
Especially if you blame.
You know what they call it?
What?
You're being institutionalized.
They said that that move.
What move is that?
They say you did.
Short ship.
Sharp tank redemption.
Yeah.
You get used to these.
When you go to prison, you hate these walls.
You're surrounded by it.
But over time, you start to depend on them walls.
It's called institutionalized.
Remember, Morgan Freedom said that that check does the exact same thing, man.
You start to crave and over time, you build that parasitic relationship with that institution or that government that's providing for you.
Yeah.
Man, ain't nothing like working for yourself or having a job that, you know, you get a check every two weeks.
Yeah, you get promoted.
You can move more.
You got something to look.
You can make more money.
Yeah.
But when you sit at home and you go into the mailbox every month, waiting on that one check, I think they get direct deposit now.
I would think it all comes on a little debit card.
Right.
EBT card?
Right, right.
You get direct deposit.
See, man, I mean, they make it easy to get.
It's more convenient for the person, for the deadbeat, man, but that just institutionalizes you.
Well, there's some people that deserve it.
Yeah, yeah.
But I would say 90% of people on EBT are lazy.
Yeah.
Have no ambition.
They're parasites.
They found a host and now they're going to suck it dry for as long as they can.
Let me see what else she got to say.
Thanksgiving coming up.
I don't.
I don't.
See that what I'm saying?
Cause my mama already had used my 150 dealing.
That's why I should never.
Your mama?
You gave your mama your last $150?
Something like that.
You giving mama $150.
Your mama ain't worth a damn.
Well, she probably learned all this from my mama.
Yeah.
A lot of kids, when we grow up, we see a lot of kids who's on food stamps.
Yeah.
And they grew up their own food stamps.
They learn it from their parents.
Like if you parents have a good job, they go to work every day and they work hard.
Your kids see that and they want to emulate that.
They emulate whatever they see.
That's why she's emulating more likely what her mom did.
Yeah, but she should be borrowing money and getting money from her mama.
