y'all. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [N] _ So look, I gotta say something real quick.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on. _
I gotta say something real quick.
_ When I was 20 years old, I was homeless.
I was 18 years old and I met a guy by the name
of Jerrold Wright and he was Seminette Venice.
I had never heard of _ what the Seminette Venice faith was,
but I was homeless.
_ And Jerrold and his wife let me come live with them
because I had no, like I was broke, homeless.
I had like a one year old son and I just had a dream.
That's all I had.
I had no money.
I had nothing.
I had no hope.
I had no possibility. _ _
But listening to that sound, _
all it made me do was think of him _ _ because it's so heavy.
_ _ And I know that it is his shoulders _ that I'm here on.
And every other man and woman that has walked
through this space, that your shoulders,
that you're standing on to be able to get a sound
that all you Negroes sound like you auto-tuned. _ _ _ _
Do they not sound auto-tuned? _ _
The sopranos sound auto-tuned.
_ It's like you're singing _ like you're freaking auto-tuned.
I have never, like you hear no rub. _
There's no rub.
And _ _ it was so _ otherworldly.
It just made me deeply miss him.
Because if it wasn't for him,
letting me sleep on that couch,
_ I would never be able to be here
and _ _ _ _ _ _ to be able to experience the beauty
that has come from this space,
that has come from this denomination.
That this is _ my fifth time coming over. _
Because I've been here many, many times
before, way before anybody even knew I was.
I was here with the church,
just sitting in the back waiting to have a chance to play.
And never _ would I have ever thought I'd be here _
_ embracing this depth of beauty. _
_ _ _ Like that moment right there was worth that flight,
that trip, and that hotel. _
That moment right there, that moment right there
means more to me than you will ever know.
Because I respect so deeply where I come from.
And you just reminded me of where I came from. _ _ _ _
_ _ Thank you. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
That was brilliant.
_ That was brilliant. _
