Davon King (01:56)
Nah, you got it already, bro. You got it.

Comebackking77 (01:58)
man, I don't know nothing

about that, man. Listen, I'm gonna tell you one thing, though. When I listen to cats like you, you know what saying? It just like, you know, I grew up on the greats, you know what saying? But when I'm listening to them, I can never just listen to a song and just chill. Like, I put on a Jake, I just, put on the J. Cole clouds last night.

Davon King (02:15)
Yeah!

he went crazy. He went crazy. Yeah.

Comebackking77 (02:23)
I said, good boy. You

see him from the warm up before he got signed to rock to now. He was already a monster then. Turn out the lights, everything gonna be all right.

Davon King (02:33)
Bro. Bro, it... You know, know... Yeah, bro. And you know what

that joint made me think of is like, when I hear him now, I'm like, I would love to hear what's on the hard drive that don't come out. Cause like, that sound like somebody that's like sharper than they swore constantly, man. So it's like, you can hear it. You can hear it.

Comebackking77 (02:52)
Yeah.

constantly. You know

what, that's when I had when I like was really writing, I have a notebook in here somewhere and buried in these boxes that I always just kept something going, just kept something going right in like, you know, I'm saying and that's, it's just, or you would say something like sometimes I catch something in my head and I'd be meaning to write it down and then I forget like, what was that?

Davon King (03:08)
Yeah

Yo, yo, no,

I got a technique for that now, bro. If you pull out your phone, do a voice note, bro. That's what I do now. I be at work, duck off in the bathroom. And then when I... I'm telling you.

Comebackking77 (03:21)
Okay.

That's it.

They be like, the body was his body again. Yeah, they just talked, man. He talking to nobody. He just keep repeating the same thing over and over.

Davon King (03:42)
Cause some of them bars be too lazy. Like I can't afford to forget this, man. It'd be too hard. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Yeah.

Comebackking77 (03:46)
Yeah. Yeah, not a fact. That's a fact, man. But that kind

of that kind of, the values is monogamous kind of segue into what we was kicking around, man. Like, I think is a much needed topic, you know, discussing like mental health amongst the black men in the community, bro.

Davon King (04:03)
Yeah, man,

it's something we've been neglecting for too long, you know what I was thinking lately is like, you know how we all grew up with a homie that like shows signs of like autism or ADHD or different things and everybody just passed it off as like, he hyper or he anti-social or he this or that, like.

Comebackking77 (04:10)
Word.

Mmm.

Davon King (04:29)
No, that might've been like something serious that should have been, you know, worked on or, you know, like been giving him some type of assistance. So man, we've been neglected for lot, for generations, bro. Generations, man.

Comebackking77 (04:33)
Yeah.

But look,

when I say a long time, hold on, I had a, I was looking into it, right? Because I would just, like you just said, like think about it growing up, like me with a lot of my peoples, all of our households was kind of similar, even though it was all different households. You know what I mean? If your pops wasn't permanently in the house, he was around, but he was off.

Davon King (04:58)
Right, right.

Right, right, right, yup, yup, yup.

Comebackking77 (05:06)
You know what saying?

He won't write. And then you also have the uncles, the cousins. Like I would just think the two, like they be like, they talk about uncle, they be like, yeah, he drink. Like we're saying, you know, he's an out, you know, nah, he drink, he drink, drink. Or like you might call somebody else like, yo, that's a crankhead, blah, blah, blah. But if it's somebody in your family, like, nah, nah, he get high, he get high, high.

Davon King (05:12)
Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

I thought about that. no.

Comebackking77 (05:33)
You see what I'm saying? You never throw your people

under the bus, but you kind of put that little emphasis on it like, yeah, nah, he get high, bro.

Davon King (05:40)
or bro,

if like, you got an uncle that like young girls, anybody else you'll call him a creep, but you're like, nah, he just like him young, he just a player, he just.

Comebackking77 (05:47)
Yeah, you see, isn't that

crazy? With a couple of your family, you kind of like... Yo, that's crazy. Or if the female is loose, nah, B, she out there.

Davon King (05:52)
Yo, dang that's deep, that's deep, dang that's deep.

It's like, she a jump off, man. bro, we be protective of our family, bro. a make, yeah. Yeah.

Comebackking77 (06:01)
Yeah, it's good stuff for me, man.

Yeah, we do. if

you sit back and think about it, all that behavior is a reflection of mental illnesses.

Davon King (06:17)
Jeez. Jeez.

Comebackking77 (06:19)
You see what I'm

saying? Like all that stuff to me, it just seemed like, like we all call them now, we call them vices. You know what saying? Like these are the things that coping mechanisms basically would advise you. You know what I'm saying? Like, and it all come in different forms, but I always like, I'm always the type, I'm always thinking like, what's the root? Like, why is it this particular way? You get what I'm saying? So, you know, like, think about it. Think about you go.

Davon King (06:30)
Right, right.

Mm.

Right. Right.

Comebackking77 (06:48)
Like if you take a crackhead, right? Think about how crazy a crackhead is, bro. You take a crackhead. A crackhead, bro, will smoke all day. And if he ain't smoking, he hustling to get up money to smoke.

Davon King (06:55)
I'm sorry.

All day.

Yep, for sure. And he on an empty stomach.

Comebackking77 (07:07)
Anyway,

please stop it.

you're getting a set of gear for $2? Hey, look.

Davon King (07:09)
Yeah!

He on 240s and just crack. No food. Yeah.

Comebackking77 (07:14)
That's crazy all day long,

But like, of how like the mental fortitude that we made fun of or whatever, but think of like how crazy they had to be to go find money for, man, they pulling money out the dirt anyway, anywhere. You ever see that me with the crack head had the refrigerator on his back or rocking the bike? Come on, bro.

Davon King (07:28)
Bro, thanks.

Yeah, no, bro, I grew up

around a man, at least four or five of them dudes, by any means, but they'll change up, bro. And if you think about it, right, like that's work ethic. that's, if they could have channeled that in a positive way for something positive, bro, they could have been entrepreneurs. could have, man, yeah.

Comebackking77 (07:43)
That's crazy, bro, by any means.

Yeah, you're right.

Yeah, think about it. Most

of them were. Most of them were. But it's just like, you know, when you when you're fueled by whatever it is that's really driving you, you know what I'm saying? You put the effort in and get what you want. You know, that's kind of why like we had that's why like when it comes to this mental illness thing, I found like it's really it's really unique in the black community because you're talking about people who

Davon King (08:07)
Right, Yeah.

Right.

Comebackking77 (08:27)
are bred in survival mode already. Like each generation is already in survival mode. I was having a conversation with my supervisor yesterday, right? And we just, I was just coming outside to get some fresh air because it was just stuffy in my office, man. I'm just like, my God, I can't breathe here. And he was, was headed outside to smoke a cigarette and we just were chit chatting on the way out. And somehow we just talking and we kind of got on.

Davon King (08:31)
Mmm. Yeah. Yeah.

Right.

Comebackking77 (08:55)
the whole racism because he's a Caucasian guy. And we was talking about it and I kind of told him, was like, you know when you meet people, right? Like when you first meet somebody, we always qualify ourselves about our upbringing. Think about it. No matter what culture it is, right? I'm like this because how I grew up, I grew up, my mom was like this, my dad was like that. I grew up here.

Davon King (08:59)
Okay.

Mm.

Right, right.

Great. Yeah.

Comebackking77 (09:24)
I live there, you know, right? That's how we do it, right? Why do we discredit how we grew up 400 years ago? Because it each goes back each generation. Your parents, when they introduced themselves, they said, I grew up here. My father was like this. My mother was like that. I had this brother that I lived in this neighborhood. We didn't have this or we had that. Right. And guess what? Their parents,

Davon King (09:26)
Great, great.

Right.

Right.

Comebackking77 (09:55)
said, I grew up like this. And you get what I'm saying. It's a cycle. So everybody want to say, hey, y'all still playing that chord. That don't affect you, whatever, whatever. And I'm like, it most certainly do.

Davon King (09:59)
It's a cycle. It's a cycle. Yeah. Yup.

And it wasn't as long ago as they try to make it seem. It's not that long ago,

Comebackking77 (10:15)
It was not that it's not that long ago, bro. We're

only the thing about thing about how crazy this sounds. We're in 2025. Right. So five years ago, it was 1999. I know, because that's when I got married. Right. So 1990, well, 26 years ago, 1999. Right. That's the 19 hundreds.

Davon King (10:25)
Right.

You

Right.

Right, geez, that's crazy.

Comebackking77 (10:42)
Think about that.

So there was somebody alive in 1999 that was 199 years old. They were still alive because there's people alive right now that I just seen, there's like 102, 100. There's somebody alive right now that's 106 years old. And they have grandchildren, great grandchildren. That's their legacy. They still see them.

Davon King (10:55)
Right, Bro, so we-

So when

was getting married, it was people in the world that was alive that were just out of slavery. It could have been. It could have been.

Comebackking77 (11:11)
Could have been could have been

1892 or whatever like do you think about that or once removed? There just like think about that my mom's is born My mom's is 72 around age. She might smack me if she hit us Listen all my life when I was growing up I asked her what her birth that oh she was like

Davon King (11:18)
Yeah

Yeah, you better get it right.

Comebackking77 (11:38)
26 or something like that. She was like 26 for 30 years. didn't. They never gonna tell you that. But the crazy thing about it, what I'm saying is, so my grandmother was born, like I can't even imagine. I would have to look at the, matter of fact, I had a cousin who sent me some information, but like you just said, that generation was right there.

Davon King (11:41)
Yeah, yeah women women hold the women ain't gonna never tell you they're real age, bro never no

Right there, right there, bro. That's crazy.

Comebackking77 (12:07)
And you talk about the

horrors of like the 60s, the 1960s, the 1950s, the 1920s. So you think of the abuse and things that we suffered.

Davon King (12:15)
girl.

Exactly.

Comebackking77 (12:20)
So black men been dealing with mental health issues ever since we came here.

Davon King (12:28)
Facts. Facts.

Comebackking77 (12:30)
The experience alone gave us PTSD to get here.

Davon King (12:33)
Bro,

and you gotta think, bro, you put these men through slavery, all these traumatic experiences, and then freed them and had them try to be a man of a household or raise a child or be a husband. It's like, but he's still battling.

Comebackking77 (12:46)
Right? Think about that. He's still

guessing. Like, you don't even know fear to be surrounded by the potential, like, even though it still happens now, it's not like it was then. You don't even know the fear that another man could legally just end your whole joint at the wave of a hand. And he ain't no better than you. He ain't no stronger than you.

Davon King (13:08)
Right, Yes. And just like that.

Comebackking77 (13:15)
He ain't no smarter than you. He definitely better than you. He has all the power in the world because the law, the law of the land is behind him. And you are looking for identity. So think about the nature of this, of a man and a woman and the women looking at the men like, why aren't you saving us?

Davon King (13:17)
Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. That's a fag. That's a fag.

Sheesh.

And he like, look what I'm up against. Like, look, look, look what.

Comebackking77 (13:45)
And he's like,

if I die, we don't have a shot at all.

Davon King (13:48)
Exactly, exactly. And that's why a lot of men develop passive aggressiveness. Yeah, yeah.

Comebackking77 (13:55)
Yeah, think about that. got it. It's

like, don't think we get, I don't think we really take enough time to sit back and really understand the tragedy in the horrific circumstances it was. Like think about it right now. Think about somebody like how these weirdos, they kidnapped people, right? And tortured them and abused them.

Davon King (14:18)
Right.

Comebackking77 (14:20)
That was illegal.

Davon King (14:21)
crazy.

Comebackking77 (14:21)
Think about

when you had the legal right to do with something that's not even classified as a human being.

Davon King (14:27)
That's insane. Like when you really... Yeah.

Comebackking77 (14:28)
You can't even imagine it. You can't even imagine

the sickness of a person with that much power backed by the law.

Davon King (14:37)
That's dangerous. That's walking among you. That's like, come on. Yeah. Bro, that's so crazy.

Comebackking77 (14:40)
Bruh, like that's insane. That's really insane. And I don't think a lot of people,

I brought up a stat, watch this, this is crazy. When I sing this, this is, this is,

Davon King (14:50)
That's it.

Comebackking77 (14:53)
Okay, check this out. Approximately 16 % of Black African American adults, that's 4.8 million people, reported having mental illness in 2021 with depression and anxiety being the most common. However, Black males are less likely to seek treatment. Only 25 % received care versus 40 % of white individuals

due to the stigma,

Davon King (15:20)
you

Comebackking77 (15:21)
mistrust of the healthcare system, and cultural barriers.

Davon King (15:28)
That's, that's, that's bro. That's heartbreaking, man. That's heartbreaking. That's heartbreaking, bro.

Comebackking77 (15:33)
It is. knowing

you need help, but you so afraid to look weak.

Davon King (15:39)
Bro.

Comebackking77 (15:39)
You

can't tell your partner that you struggling.

Davon King (15:42)
Bro, I remember like, I remember during like the pandemic, bro, I was like going through like anxiety and having like, you know, panic attacks. And I'm like, I'm like, at the time I didn't, I'm just thinking like, it's paranoia or, you know, I'm just, I'm not really, I'm suppressing it. I'm trying to like, you know, suppress it. And then when I started like hearing other people talk about it, I'm like, bro, I'm having anxiety attacks, bro.

Comebackking77 (15:52)
Yeah.

Right, right, but barrier. Right.

Davon King (16:07)
I'm not just aggravated or frustrated, bro. I'm going through a depression. Like I'm in a depressive state. Like, bro, but as a, you know, as a black man, you don't have those conversations or get the knowledge about that. like everything we go through, bro, we quick to suppress it. Or if we don't suppress it, we channel it with aggressiveness. And that's why we in the jail systems or the graveyards. It's like, hey.

Comebackking77 (16:12)
Yeah.

That's crazy. Think about

that. With no, when you don't have an outlet of expression, right? You like you're literally suffocating.

Davon King (16:42)
Facts. Facts.

Comebackking77 (16:44)
Like you know how many people, like everything looks fine, everything looks fine on the surface and then they and he done off themselves.

And then like, yo, he was good. He was good. I just walked to another day. We had to go and know it, you know, and they have no idea because if I share, think about what happens when you open up to somebody, especially like male and females, you know what I mean? Like a place where you're supposed to have the most safety at and you sharing your fears and your hurts and your concern, your anxieties and stuff. And then you get into a spat.

Davon King (16:56)
He was good, yup, yup.

Yup.

Yeah.

Right, right.

Comebackking77 (17:24)
and it is thrown back in your face.

Davon King (17:26)
Facts, Bro, that's why women be like, they be like, open up, be vulnerable. And it's like.

Comebackking77 (17:28)
You know, yeah.

Yes.

Davon King (17:34)
I don't even know. I don't know if we there yet. I don't know if we there yet because I don't know how you gonna handle it if that if that might get used as a weapon later on, bro

Comebackking77 (17:38)
Thank you.

Yo, that's crazy, right? But think about that, that's just the view. And it's not even women's fault because we all got our own set of programming in the form of expectation of the sexes.

Davon King (17:44)
YAH!

Right,

Comebackking77 (18:00)
You see what mean? So our expectation

of strength, here's where I think we might miss it at as a people as a whole.

We keep thinking our qualities come from within ourselves only, but our qualities come through unity. I can only be as strong as the woman is able to, you know what I mean, stand with me. Because she has to bear the things that I can't bear. I have to be able to show the things on her that I can't carry.

Davon King (18:18)
Mmm.

Right, right.

Yeah, bro, because like, dang, bro, did a video and I was saying like, all can, men have traits that women don't have, right? Like I was at my job and it was a lady, she just on her phone. And there's a dude sitting right next to her just staring at her. And I'm like, bro, as a man, my instincts would have been, she didn't look up once. And I'm like, bro, as a man, we have the instinct where we watching our surroundings. So it was like, like you said,

But women have a nurture inside, and women have an instinct that we don't have. So it's like, we gotta be able to lean on each other and balance out the scale because if the scale is leaning and more weight is on one person, that person's gonna eventually break. And it's like, yeah, yeah.

Comebackking77 (19:17)
Yeah, they're gonna break.

That's where the dynamic of a healthy, strong relationship comes from and community comes from is when we learn how to balance that scale with each other. And if you're not balancing it in the home first, whatever happens in the home spills out into the street.

Davon King (19:24)
Yeah.

Thanks.

Bro, that's the reason, that's where, like a 90%, I believe 90 % of like road rage incidents. That'd be somebody that battled something at the crib, got on the road. Yeah, yup, yup.

Comebackking77 (19:37)
You see what I mean?

Yeah. And they take

it out. It's funny too, because I tell my wife all the time and that's the biggest difference.

I tell her, said, listen, you do not allow somebody that cuts you off or do whatever to push your buttons. I said, because you have no idea what's going on in that car. And that's like, if you take like, and here's the thing, like when you have these police incidents with these murders of the young black males and things.

Davon King (20:02)
Right, yes.

Foo, boy. Boy.

Comebackking77 (20:19)
You know, this man probably just been emasculated by his wife at the crib. His son could have just threw him the bird. And it wasn't, it wasn't because it wasn't so much that you was black. It could have just been you had the same attitude as his ungrateful old rug rat had. But he could do something about you because his wife ain't telling you to shut up, shut up, Tom.

Davon King (20:23)
Yeah, facts, facts.

You

Bro, yup.

Exactly. might be, bro, he might be losing,

he might be losing all control in every area of his life except that part. Like this, yeah, this the only place I got authority in. This the only place I'm in control, Yup.

Comebackking77 (20:51)
Is that more?

Yeah. So think

about those policemen and stuff who battle regular life like everybody else. It ain't like they making bread bread. They putting their life on the line.

Davon King (21:06)
Yeah.

Great, great.

Yup.

Comebackking77 (21:12)
And they supposed to be, but they got it now. They, they dealing with real issues. just got cheated on. Their bills is behind and you walking around and you talking trash and they, and they got a right to snatch you up.

Davon King (21:18)
Bro, yep.

Bro, you know what's funny?

It's funny you bringing that up because I work with all retired cops, right? So when you see them have to deal with a situation that you know if they were still in uniform, they would have handled that more aggressively. you see them like, really, like they have to adjust and be like, I can't, cause I'm not, I gotta handle this differently, but.

Comebackking77 (21:31)
Yeah

Yeah.

Yeah. Isn't that something? Listen,

one of my best mans is a sheriff deputy. He's retired now, but he still do a couple hours a month or whatever. And this man, he done been through it all. He done fought for this country. You get what saying? And he is the most, like if you ever want to get pulled over by a cop, it would be him. Because he gonna let you hang yourself.

Davon King (21:56)
Okay.

Right.

Okay.

you

Comebackking77 (22:18)
He's just going to talk. Hey, you got that. OK, I need to see that. Now you start all that. What are you going to give you one? Hey, I ain't about none of that. I just need to see. Make sure everything's You know what I mean? So he give you no problems because he knows the other side of the fence. So he's just going to give you a shot and most of the time, hey, man, get out of here. Don't be doing, you know, I mean, tighten up, you know what I'm saying? And it's every of them out there like that.

Davon King (22:21)
Yeah, right, right.

He not giving you a problem at all, yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

Comebackking77 (22:46)
You know, but everybody's dealing with real life and that's, don't think I'm at a point where I don't think anything randoms happen. Like, you know, you hear the news and you'd be like, yo, that's so stupid. Why would they do that?

Davon King (22:46)
Right,

Nah. Nah.

Comebackking77 (23:02)
I feel like, I feel like

it's a lot of mental things going on that it feels like even now more today than ever, like we are in a powder keg. Like everybody is pushed to the limit. Everybody's at the last straw. Like, and when there's no bread, see it used to be so, the one thing that's dope about our folks, we always used to not having no bread and still making it and surviving or getting what we need. However, by any means in a way,

Davon King (23:12)
Mmm.

Comebackking77 (23:30)
You get what saying? So all this is not extra pressure to us. The only thing wild with us is our YNs. Like they gotta stop tripping on each other. But other than that, as a people, we won't fight all that extra everybody, oh, this is gonna caught up, know? We ain't gonna trip.

Davon King (23:30)
Thanks.

Nah, this-

The Y is going crazy.

Bro,

you said it earlier. We grow up in survival mode. We live in survival mode. it's like, bro, this just, they grow up in like, seeing two parents in the crib provided, you know, the best Christmas gifts. So like when they hit rock bottom, it's like, this is like, but we like, bro, we just adjust with the times. We just go with the flow. It's like, this is what we used to. Like, this is like.

Comebackking77 (23:52)
Right.

American Dream.

Yeah.

And

think about it. That's and so and it kind of is kind of wild because it makes me think of like, like we got spiritual muscles and that's why I think it's hard for us to admit when we have mental illnesses because it's like, it's normal to cope. Like our normal response is to deal with it. So it's like, you can't deal with it. What's wrong with you? You're weak.

Davon King (24:33)
Right, right.

You're weak. Yep. Yep. Show no emotion.

Comebackking77 (24:41)
That person probably most normal

sane person there to realize, wait, I ain't supposed to be dealing with this. Like, this is the standard. How y'all just walking around? You know what I'm saying? Like you got people who could never live in a hood. They could never, but we ain't told the sensitize to it. doesn't, you know what I mean? It's normal. Like it shouldn't be normal, but it's normal.

Davon King (24:47)
Yeah

Thanks. Thanks.

no, no, never.

Right.

Like the job I work at is in the trenches. And you see these people that's not from these environments, how they react to things. And I just be like, bro, I grew up on a block full of these type of dudes. I know how this is. And they kind of like, it's like, bro, it's crazy. You're right though. They don't have those survival instincts and that street smarts in it.

Comebackking77 (25:13)
Right.

Right. Right.

It is.

Davon King (25:33)
And I don't know if that's a good or bad thing that we do have that. Like that's like, you know.

Comebackking77 (25:38)
Well, I think the, you're to say the good thing is it allows us to keep moving forward regardless of the environment would be the good thing. But I think where it gets challenging, where it could be bad for us is we become so conditioned to the survival part of things that we forget we stop living and flourishing.

Davon King (25:50)
That's real.

Yeah.

Comebackking77 (26:06)
We stopped thriving, know, stopped growing because we've settled in to just being okay. And it crushes our ability to see past where we are.

Davon King (26:08)
Yeah, yeah.

And that's when like some of us we get like a job that might not be good but it does what it's supposed to do and we like I don't want to shake nothing up. I'm comfortable right here.

Comebackking77 (26:25)
And that's what it's supposed to do. Hey, look, it's

so funny, right? I work with this sweet woman. She barely know what she doing.

Davon King (26:38)
You

Comebackking77 (26:39)
Salaris, right? But she always got an idea how to make things better. And I'm like, hey, I'm just trying to get my bread. Look, I'm trying to take the apple cart. I ain't trying to change the world. I'm just trying to take as much of this bread out of this joint, because I work on a commission. So I ain't got time to be trying to fix this and this. I don't get an hourly wage. You see what I'm saying? So I ain't got time to kick it with you about how to make the establishment better.

Davon King (26:45)
Right, okay. Okay.

Yeah, yeah.

Bro, bro, I worked, bro, I worked a shift the other day with a dude that just like that, bro, it was my first shift with him and he like on 10. And I'm like, dog, just chill, bro. Like, bro, bro, remember Friday at the next one, when Dayday was on 10, but Craig was like, yo, we're gonna just chill, get this money, and you're gonna watch how you talk to people.

Comebackking77 (27:09)
I'm too old. I can't anymore.

Right.

You know what all the injustices, they don't care.

Yeah, yeah. Top

flight, security, whoa! In the world, Yo, that's crazy, that's hilarious. But it's so funny because it's so fun to see them get on their soapbox about the work conditions and the thing like, yo, get your bread. That's all you got to do. I don't know what you...

Davon King (27:37)
We top flight in the world, yeah. bro, we not here for all that, bro. We just hitting duty hours and go home, bro.

man.

Bro.

Get your bread.

Comebackking77 (28:02)
Yeah.

Davon King (28:03)
You looking like, yo, you bringing, you making it hot, bro. You making the block hot.

Comebackking77 (28:06)
Right,

that's the first thing we think. And I'll be in there late. And I don't know if that's like old slave mentality or whatever. Like I'm just trying to get you there boss.

Davon King (28:13)
You

Comebackking77 (28:15)
I tried I tried to, I tried to, bruh, for no feathers, boss. I just wanted to get through the day.

Davon King (28:15)
Hey!

Hey,

I gotta get, I just wanna go home. I'm just trying to get by. I don't even want them to know I'm here half of the time, bro.

Comebackking77 (28:24)
That's Real talk,

only time I want them to know I'm here is when that red deposit hit. okay. They're know my name. That's crazy. So here's something else. I looked this up, man. So this is weird. So this is how crazy this is.

Davon King (28:35)
Now if that deposit don't hit everybody gonna know I'm here Thanks, man

Comebackking77 (28:49)
Trauma, how do they put this? Let me see. I was really on this. Okay, so back to the mental health aspect of it, right? Check this out, this crazy. Exposure to systematic racism, violence and poverty contributes to the highest rate of PTSD amongst black males. Studies suggest PTSD prevalence is 8.7 % in black men compared to 5.4 % in white men.

Davon King (29:17)
Geez. That's crazy. That's crazy.

Comebackking77 (29:17)
That's literally just by existed in this country. You pick up 8.7

% of black males have PTSD.

Davon King (29:26)
That's crazy, That's.

Comebackking77 (29:28)
And I was talking to

some of my people who've been in like war or combat, who had PTSD, and we did it from the neighborhood just coming up.

Davon King (29:34)
Great.

Imagine that damn war zone. They didn't they really in the same people heads get blown off in Bro, that's crazy. That's it, bro That's good I never even thought of it like that bro to be honest with like that's that's that's that's mind boggling like that's that's a that's a Bro, that's a crazy

Comebackking77 (29:46)
Let's go away.

Isn't that wild?

I'm

gonna tell you a crazy thing. My oldest grandson is now 12 years old, right? He's 12.

Davon King (30:05)
Okay.

Comebackking77 (30:06)
He done had been in a situation where he could have been shot at least three times already.

The first time he was only two years old.

Davon King (30:14)
Thanks.

Comebackking77 (30:15)
and a guy pulled the gun out on my mother-in-law while she was holding him. And my son went out there and snapped. I wasn't nowhere to be for bad. When I heard about it, I was telling both of you about the time I got over there. Nobody knew where I was. I was hunting.

Davon King (30:26)
I know you was, yeah, yeah. I know you was filming.

You're ready to crash out you a full crash out full crash out mode

Comebackking77 (30:37)
bruh,

listen, I might be thicker, but I can still, I can still dip it all black. I still go out of slide, you know what you're saying? You heard? So, so that was when he was two. Then the next time he probably was like around eight or nine. And my son was with his family in the car and he was about to go somewhere and one of their neighbors.

Davon King (30:44)
He said, I know how to suit up.

Jeez.

Comebackking77 (31:02)
in the same hood that we've just left from, was kind of blocking the men. And he wasn't even talking to the neighbor. He was talking to his fiance, my daughter-in-law. He was talking to her and whatever they was talking, whatever, but he wasn't communicating with them. The girl picked up that he was unhappy that she that she blocking him in. And she pulled the strap on the whole family.

Davon King (31:07)
Mmm.

Right.

Right, right.

Jeez, that's crazy. That's crazy. And this is a young mind that's still developing. Jeez, it's crazy.

Comebackking77 (31:30)
So that's time number two.

Yes, this is, you know what, this is time number two now, just

last summer.

Davon King (31:41)
Jeez.

Comebackking77 (31:42)
Last

summer!

maybe about two weeks before there was a shooting on the side of their building in the park, right?

Me and my wife was headed to work. It was probably about, we was heading to work, usually leave around two o'clock. Got things from YNs walked by and I told my wife, I said, man, I bet you those were the knuckleheads that was over there shooting, right? That's what I told her. I seen them. They had all those, they had the YN, the YN gear, the YN kit, right? Get ready kit, So.

Davon King (31:56)
Okay.

Yeah, the Shaysky, they had the Shaysky mask.

Comebackking77 (32:14)
When we pulled out, there's no word of lie. We pulled out the parking lot and something told me, I literally see myself rushing my grandson to the hospital carrying him full of bullet holes, dripping blood. And I started praying immediately. And I wasn't even rocking with going to church, none of that. I just started praying. Get to the job.

Davon King (32:30)
Right.

Man.

Comebackking77 (32:37)
It was so real. The vision that I had was so real. Like I was just disturbed, bro. Right. Get to the job. We not even at the job. Ten minutes.

Davon King (32:43)
Cheese.

Comebackking77 (32:48)
My wife get a phone call. She jumps up and screams.

I'm like, what, like,

yo, what? She couldn't talk. So now that whole vision coming back to me, I'm like, yo, this done happened. Thank God it didn't, but what happened.

Davon King (32:58)
Yeah, yeah.

Come back. Yeah.

Comebackking77 (33:08)
Two young, two YNs, they was playing in the backyard. My daughter-in-law was outside with them. She never let them outside by themselves. She's always out there with them. Two young boys came down and told them, hey, y'all better get back. Soon as they said that, everybody started like running, trying to leave, run to the house. They pulled out and just started shooting across the yard to the other building.

Davon King (33:15)
Right.

Jeez.

Great.

my.

Comebackking77 (33:35)
the other building start shooting back.

Davon King (33:38)
man, so it's going back and forth. my God.

Comebackking77 (33:42)
They bake

it in the house, one over here, some get over there, whatever, nobody got hit, thank God. When a detective came and talked to my daughter-in-law.

Davon King (33:48)
Right.

Comebackking77 (33:51)
He said, I don't know what y'all believing, but looking at this gun spray and where you said y'all were, I don't know how all of y'all ain't dead.

Davon King (34:04)
Man, man above, geez.

Comebackking77 (34:05)
Yeah. And mind you, the second

time the gun was pulled out, my granddaughter and my youngest grandson was with him too. So now they done had two incidents and he had three and the third incidents, they all got shot at.

Davon King (34:21)
my God, bro. And this is before he's even 16 years old. Jesus Christ. So now this young man gonna turn 18. All that, if he don't see that seek therapy or anything and no help to filter those thoughts out.

Comebackking77 (34:40)
this is normal. And he already, you know, quiet, quiet kid, really good kid, knows football. You know what I'm saying? He plays outside with the like Davis back though. He young role, you know, everybody love him. He cool like that, you know, but he's processing all these things already. He does he does. And hold. Whoa, it gets crazy. This his best friend.

Davon King (34:41)
Jesus Christ.

Yeah.

Yeah. Right.

Bro.

Comebackking77 (35:09)
who's one of his neighbors, one day, this is the house he spends the night at, comes out of the house and tells him.

Davon King (35:15)
Right.

Comebackking77 (35:19)
Somebody's dead in this house. His best friend's father shot a dude he knew in his house. And it took his best friend and ran off with him.

Davon King (35:24)
my-

Bro, that's heartbreaking, That's his mop.

Comebackking77 (35:31)
Think about that.

This is the environment that we grow up in.

Davon King (35:38)
And that in this set, you're his grandfather, right? And his parents, you, no teachers would never know what he's battling inside. Like, even if he talks about it, you can't even fathom.

Comebackking77 (35:41)
Mmm.

No one.

You still can't articulate it. I can't articulate what I see, what I've been through. And I'm thinking like the last thing, like I want him to go through that.

Davon King (35:57)
Bro

Bro, and then, bro,

that makes me think about my like, I got a cousin that's in right now, right? He's like 20, early 20s, like super young, 22, 21. He's in jail right now, but he went back to jail. He just got out. It wasn't even out a few months. Went right back in. But everybody, you know, probably thinking like, yo, he's a knucklehead, he's this, he that. But when you think about it, bro, all his friends he grew up with, went through high school with is dead, bro, from gun violence.

Comebackking77 (36:08)
Yeah.

Mmm.

Right.

That's crazy.

Davon King (36:34)
I go on his Facebook page, RIP, RIP, RIP, RIP, at least like, at least 10 RIPs. the other half that's still living is in jail with him too. Then he loses his grandmother, his grandfather, all back to back, bro. And I'm like, I can't even imagine what he's going through, bro. And it's like, but if you see him when he's still all smiles and he just thugging it out, bro, but I know.

Comebackking77 (36:49)
Wow.

Davon King (37:02)
It's PTSD, he's suffering from that, sending him back and forth to jail, bro. can't, he don't know how to cope with it. All of it, like all of it, bro. It's like.

Comebackking77 (37:09)
Think about that. Think about how, that's what I'm saying. This has become too normal for us. And this is not, listen to what you just said. It is so not uncommon.

Davon King (37:16)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Nope. Bro, I remember-

Comebackking77 (37:26)
This should be uncommon.

This should be stuff you...

Davon King (37:30)
Bro,

they live in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, bro. I've never been on FaceTime.

Comebackking77 (37:33)
I don't even

say that I know know why that get down.

Davon King (37:36)
It's the, bro,

I be, when I used to go out, I haven't been out there in a few years, but when I went out there, I'm out there thugging with him at night on the block. is, bro, when, people use trenches too lightly. That's the trenches, trenches. Like, they out there with that. Bro.

Comebackking77 (37:44)
I know.

I've been out there, I can't even,

I'ma tell you how bad it is, I'ma tell you how real I know that is. It's so real that I won't even mention the people I was out there with.

Davon King (37:53)
I'm

Come on, so you know, bro. Bro, I remember being a teenager and my dad used to sell clothes. He used have to throw back jerseys in the trunk and all the metal and that stuff. And out there, don't go to Virginia. They can't really get those type of things. So he used to go out there and make a killing and hit the block. It'd be a bunch of about 20 dudes on the block. They all snatching jerseys and fittings off the trunk and buying them. Bro, we went back the next summer.

Comebackking77 (38:00)
I can't, I literally, cannot.

Yeah, yeah,

Yeah.

Davon King (38:27)
My dad like, yo, where all the dudes at? I got some new stuff. My cousin like, bro, they all dead, bro. They all dead. I'm like, Jesus. Yeah, man. But then my little cousin, at that time, he's really young. He's an innocent kid. But then as I kept going back there, you just see the environment changing him, bro. It's changing him. Yeah.

Comebackking77 (38:35)
That's fun.

Yeah.

You see the evolution. Yeah. Well,

lot of what a lot of people don't understand is environment is literally everything.

Davon King (38:57)
Yeah, facts, man.

Comebackking77 (38:59)
It's the most important part of the puzzle, know, which you engulf yourself with. That's why media is so dangerous, is because you could deliberately place yourself in environments that you should have never been in, through movies, music, everything else. That's why you got little Johnny sliding on, little Patrick.

Davon King (39:02)
Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, bro,

and when you get into that word, you gotta deny the flesh. We said this last time, because the flesh want all of those things. The flesh is attracted to all of the sliding and the women, that's not good, the alcohol, the lean, the pills, the flesh gonna have you yearning for all of that, All of that,

Comebackking77 (39:31)
Yeah.

Yeah. All that. It's

funny you said that because that was one of the things I looked into is like the how does spirituality mix in with all of this? You know what I mean? Like the one thing like they literally have done studies on the power of prayer and how prayer.

can relieve anxiety and stresses and depression. You know what I mean? Cause you literally have an outlet. Like what we said, like if you, if you don't have an outward expression, you're bottled up. So regardless of how you believe or what you believe, just you verbalize it and praying outside of yourself and say, you know, and giving it to somebody higher than you. And you just automatically start feeling a release.

Davon King (40:05)
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

Well.

Man, man.

Comebackking77 (40:31)
And spiritual expression has always been a part of our culture and our people.

Davon King (40:35)
Yeah, all our life. Grew up in the church. Grew up in it, Yep.

Comebackking77 (40:37)
or forever, forever, forever.

So when you take that away, when you take away the credibility of that, now, and then what do you turn to? Vices.

Davon King (40:51)
Basses, yep, yep, yep.

Comebackking77 (40:53)
You see what I mean? Because these are

the things that temporarily, that short-term gratification, you know what I mean? But you still be lingering a long-term problem. You're just delaying it a little bit. You're not, because you're not facing it right now, but it hasn't gone anywhere.

Davon King (41:09)
In the world, bro, the world is so witty, bro, because all the things that's going to be your ultimate demise is going to lead to destruction. They paved the road in gold, baby. They're going to make it.

Comebackking77 (41:20)
They paved the road and go.

Davon King (41:22)
Bro, you heading down the road to your demise,

it ain't no potholes. It's the smoothest ride. Man.

Comebackking77 (41:27)
And look, wait, hold

on. This was crazy. I just thought about that when you said that. Think about every nerd, right? Who couldn't get a chick, right? Now he could just get an only-fed subscription and marry the relationship, bro. He's in a private chat with her and she's doing things that Becky wouldn't do. That's his next work. Whoa.

Davon King (41:41)
Yeah.

What in do? Yup. Facts, bro. Bro.

Man, I'm telling you, bro. And like you said, like, like you said, if you, if you, if you're not into the, if you're not.

Comebackking77 (41:56)
That's crazy.

That's crazy.

We

had a girl that made $400 million on OnlyFans. You'd think she's psycho.

Davon King (42:09)
Ha

But the pictures look too good. And now look at the ripple effect of that. Like now his bank account overdrawn.

Comebackking77 (42:12)
Woo! Isn't that crazy? man.

Yeah,

bro. He about to get evicted. The new pictures is dropped there in the Zip box. He can't unlock them unless he paid $29.99.

Davon King (42:24)
Ay! Ay, but them new pictures just dropped, bro!

Bro, I'm telling you, that's what we see. That's what we see every day, bro. We see it every day, man.

Comebackking77 (42:37)
crazy.

Well, his was crazy too, if you think about it. And I ain't coming off of no particular group of people or anything, but when you got men, not wanting to be men.

Davon King (42:54)
Mmm.

Comebackking77 (42:54)
because of whatever, who convinced themselves in their minds that there ain't. But then you get supposedly sane people to sanction it like this is normal. And they trying to do the same thing with kid lovers. They're saying that's not a sickness. This is...

Davon King (43:01)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Yeah.

Bro, like.

my god.

Comebackking77 (43:21)
This is just who we are.

Davon King (43:23)
Bro, I thought I I saw somebody talking about that like on some random clip of a podcast And I'm like I didn't bother even doing my research. I'm like now that's insane But now that you're saying that you're confirming it like that's a real thing

Comebackking77 (43:29)
Bro.

Well.

That's a real, I forget the terminology to use for it or whatever, but this is a real thing that an adult say. I only love minors. That's crazy.

Davon King (43:46)
And that just, bro,

that'll make you crash out. Like that, like that.

Comebackking77 (43:52)
That's crazy.

Davon King (43:53)
And that's

why I believe, bro, we seeing what's going on in LA with the fires. God is, bro, he's like, nah, y'all out of control down there.

Comebackking77 (44:03)
This is the Sodom and Gomorrah days. It's actually literally beyond because I think about like, I think our culture, like we really glorify the stupidest stuff. But think about this. Let's just really take a whole hearted look at this. Remember to share you something from a post I just see that was wild, right?

Davon King (44:08)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Okay.

Comebackking77 (44:31)
So, you know, they eat it like groceries now. I can't even say it. They eat it like groceries, right? Think about how normal this is now. Right? But I just see the composed the chick put up. This is the most hilarious thing I see today. She said, I'm not about to argue with no brother who I just finished fingering.

Davon King (44:43)
Bro.

my god! No!

Comebackking77 (44:59)
Yo, so not only did you already have half a leg up as a man, you done got extra spicy with her, and now you done lost all credibility.

Davon King (45:01)
no.

Noooo

Amen any men watching this movie

some things you just got to leave for the women bro. It's like certain something like we can't want to be so inclusive where we like we Bro Like we were just speaking about the balance bro. They gotta get back. It gotta be a like week. that's

Comebackking77 (45:28)
Bruh, listen,

every, but see, here's the thing. When you, when you in the world now where everything goes, I'm a, I'm a join a panel this week, hopefully if not tomorrow, maybe Saturday with my man, Wayman from unapologetically masculine. And they doing a, they doing a panel on polygamy and open marriages.

Davon King (45:44)
Gee. Okay.

Okay.

Comebackking77 (45:56)
Right. And I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm gonna be in there. I'm gonna be like, Hey y'all wildest. I'm gonna give my perspective. Right.

Davon King (46:02)
Are you

ready to cook them?

Comebackking77 (46:05)
Look, it's a nonsense. listen. Ever since we're, we're inherent. Here's why I don't even feel like any of that works. It wasn't designed to be that way. We're born selfish. Where we're born, we're born in natural human survival mode. We only want the bosom of our mother.

Davon King (46:18)
Thanks. Thanks.

Yup, yup, that's real, that's real. That's real, that is real.

Comebackking77 (46:30)
That's it. And

we kick and scream when we're passed off. Initially, until you force us to, but it's not natural for us to be passed off at such an early age. We're not supposed to be passed off until you get a certain age of maturity, like around five.

Davon King (46:36)
Thanks.

Right, right, right.

Comebackking77 (46:51)
around five years old now, that's how when I think who was it? Samuel's mother, if we're going to take it to the Old Testament, she prayed for a child. She couldn't have a child. was mocking her. The Lord said, God said, I'm gonna give you a child. But when he turns five years old, you got to dedicate him to the Lord. he turns five, give it to me. All right. So, and she did that. So when he got weaned off,

Davon King (46:59)
Mmm.

Yup. Yup.

Give them to me. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Comebackking77 (47:18)
You get weaned off when you're about five years old. That's you're supposed to go with the father and you start learning the trade of the business.

Davon King (47:21)
Right.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Comebackking77 (47:28)
That's already teaching you the structure and the dynamic of household and family.

Davon King (47:33)
Right, right.

Comebackking77 (47:34)
What I think a lot of us doing because we're satisfying our vices, we're making up new things to justify just doing whatever we want to do.

Davon King (47:45)
That's real. That's, bro, that's real. That's real.

We wanna live in a free world. just like, niggas is really just living life on the whim, bro.

Comebackking77 (47:57)
Yeah,

a hope and a prayer, you know what I'm saying?

Davon King (48:03)
Niggas just out

here making stuff up as they go like,

Comebackking77 (48:07)
I'm polyamorous. No, you're you're horny. You're horny, bro. That's it. You're horny with no responsibility. Can you imagine a group of old polyamorous talking about they had a relationship? They're about 60 years old, smelling like big gay. What they gonna do?

Davon King (48:15)
No! No! Bro!

home.

Bro, bro No, we bro. That's why man. I'm glad that like I have some structure in my life, bro, cuz like Nick like They like they're just out here doing whatever bro. And then like you said they're making up names and terms and all this stuff for just to justify Yeah, but no, you're sick. need to go you need to go get help

Comebackking77 (48:46)
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Like if you so let's just say I know they like to use the term like they'd be like, well, Solomon had many wives, right?

Davon King (48:59)
Right.

Right.

Comebackking77 (49:00)
The one thing I feel like everybody misses from that is that because of the wives and concubines, he turned away from the structure that gave him the blessing in the first place.

Davon King (49:14)
Yep. And that, bro, you read the Bible, lust was the downfall of many men, bro. All men, all men, bro.

Comebackking77 (49:20)
man.

except for Christ because when she threw the oil on his toes, he might have wiggled him but he didn't do nothing else. He might have been like, hey look now.

Davon King (49:25)
It's... Yup.

Yeah!

He knew how to step out. You gotta step out. like, gotta, you could, You don't keep your hand in there too long, bro. You just, yeah.

Comebackking77 (49:41)
Well.

That's crazy.

But here's something that's crazy though, even on that, because I see there's a version, there's a versions out there where he actually buried Mary Magdalene. Yeah. Yeah. That's a whole other topic. We got to revisit that another time. if you think about it, when it comes down to mental illnesses,

Davon King (49:53)
Really? Wow.

Yeah, yeah, that's deep. That's just deep.

Comebackking77 (50:07)
Think about how we can give into something that we wasn't supposed to only because we was of escapism. Right? A crackhead don't become a crackhead because he just wanted to smoke crack. A crackhead become a crackhead because he's escaping something to get when he gets high. And that place that you go to, or when you hit, when you, when that dope hits your vein, that place that you go to,

Davon King (50:18)
Mmm.

What's it?

Comebackking77 (50:34)
is way better than your reality.

Davon King (50:37)
Man,

I experienced that firsthand, bro, with the bud, with the liquor. I experienced, like...

Comebackking77 (50:40)
Yeah. Yeah.

I tried. Look, I don't just, I don't try to double with a lot of things. I didn't listen. I didn't try. couldn't get. Look, I tried and it wasn't, I failed. I was trying hard as I could though. I started. Yeah.

Davon King (50:47)
Bruh. Bruh.

Bro, I'm telling you man, I'm telling you, but you're right. It's like,

I can't cope with what's in front of me. But if I puff this blunt real quick, it's gonna take me to euphoria. It's gonna, yeah.

Comebackking77 (51:04)
Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's got

to, yeah, it's got to, yeah. And see, and here's the thing. And I get in trouble for this, but I love to, if I need to smoke me a L, I'm gonna smoke me a L. I ain't tripping, I ain't tripping up. Listen, if I want to relax, I'm gonna relax, but I don't, I'm not in a position where I really get the, I don't have that much time to even do that. I don't have them, that kind of free hours. I would need to be on vacation somewhere.

Davon King (51:21)
I'm 5th Axel.

Right, yep, yep.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Comebackking77 (51:36)
You know what I mean? Like I don't

have that kind of time that like I can't do that. I can't waste my Sunday being gone. I got to be here because I got things going on. got editing, I got this, got that. Like I really, I just, and I don't know how you see Snoop even chilled out. Like Snoop might be the only one, but even he chilled out because he probably got tired of paying people for things that he could have been doing himself.

Davon King (51:46)
Thanks.

Yeah, yeah, for real, bro.

And that's the thing, like you said, bro, exactly what you say. like, I don't have time for that, because I got to edit. got to do this. They say idle hands are the devil's tools. So a lot of people just got too much time on their hand, bro. Like you got too much idle time. And then that idle time causes you to like get into some thoughts that you, like PTSD, the mental health stuff. So now it's like, I...

Comebackking77 (52:09)
Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

Davon King (52:23)
I got this idle time and my thoughts is stuck with me. So I gotta do something to clear my head to get in.

Comebackking77 (52:28)
just hit

on something that you don't even know what you just did. I wonder if that's why more of our people, of Black folk, melanate. I like to say melanated because I get tired of saying Black because I get tired of them choosing words to identify me as a human being in this country. So, but I feel like most impoverished, melanated people don't have time for PTSD or mental health issues because they're so busy surviving.

Davon King (52:31)
Aw man.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Comebackking77 (52:56)
And that's why it's a stigma toward, because it's like, what are you doing? What are you going to go get high? You doing this? You got to work. You got to take care of these kids. You got to do this. You got to that. I work as a people, even though they try to paint us as lazy is the hardest work ethic because not only are we battling the system and regular life and time and physical limits and stuff, you get what I mean? But then we're battling the demons within ourselves.

Davon King (52:57)
Peace!

Great.

Thanks. Thanks.

Comebackking77 (53:27)
You

know, to all just to have some sort of a living, some sort of a life. So we don't have time to sit around and dwell and wallow in our thinking. So if you if if you're the kind of person that starts showing your your mental weakness, supposedly like that, then you kind of frowned upon like, what's wrong with you?

Davon King (53:32)
Mmm. Mmm.

And then that's when, like you said, you turn to the vices, cause it's like, I can't look weak to them cause they, it's wolves out there. They gonna, they gonna, they gonna prey on, they prey on the weak out there in the street. So I gotta hit the liquor store. I gotta roll me up a blunt so I can suppress all that so I don't come across it. And then, like you said, environment is the root of it all. West on every corner, a liquor store. Bro, like now even in my neighborhood now, every, bro, it's dispensaries.

Comebackking77 (53:54)
Right.

Right?

I the store.

Davon King (54:14)
popping up like everywhere, bro. And it's like, it's no, why can't gyms pop up like that? Why can't Whole Foods pop up like that? can't bookstores? Where the bookstores at? Yeah.

Comebackking77 (54:15)
it up everywhere. Keep it sedated.

Yeah, yeah, think about that. Yeah, think about that. about

that. It's so...

If I would just, here's another one. Food.

Davon King (54:37)
Man, come on.

Comebackking77 (54:38)
Right.

So think about the like how much we use food for comfort, comfort food, food. Right. Like we use food for all celebrations, milestones, whatever. Right. No matter what, there's in your face 24 seven, even to the point now that the NFL got the commercial with Uber Eats with Matthew McConaughey is saying it's the food conspiracy.

Davon King (54:48)
Yep.

Yep.

Yeah. Yup.

Yeah. Yeah. fuck.

Comebackking77 (55:08)
They playing with your face pause. You see what I'm saying?

So I look, I look at the commercials. They, I would just look at me and my wife was watching, um, Abbott elementary while eating dinner today, tonight, right? And, um, they were showing the Wendy's commercial. said, we should shoot who, who regulates the airways, the FCC. I said, we should get together to shoot the FCC, bro.

Davon King (55:22)
Okay. Right.

Mmm! Mmm!

Yeah.

Comebackking77 (55:36)
because

they put these, they allow these TV commercials on, none of this food looks like that, number one, but they're constantly throwing it in your face, right? And it has no nutrients.

Davon King (55:42)
Yeah. Yeah, bro.

Nope, nothing. Bro. Aw, man. Look.

Comebackking77 (55:53)
And then we struggle to eat. But you know what we had tonight? I got a HelloFresh and Factor 75 or whatever, right? Deliveries. Because I limited time when we come home in the evening. I hate coming home and cooking, like cooking, cooking. So the miss has been cheffing it up in there with the HelloFresh. made me some...

Davon King (56:01)
See?

Okay.

Right, right.

Comebackking77 (56:19)
some um, sejuan chicken ramen tonight. And I had, um, yeah, you know what saying? And I had the, um, what the, the pesto salmon with the stream beans and you know what I'm saying? Like something healthy, like we always, it's so funny because we look to eat as healthy as we can, right? However, we get bombarded, we get stressed out at work.

Davon King (56:22)
Mmm. Ooh, okay. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

the environment.

Comebackking77 (56:49)
We get tired, you get lazy, and it's so easy just to go grab some chicken wings, some Burger King. Bruh, a pizza, a pizza to throw your whole week off. You go grab a pizza and wings, man. You just say, want to keep myself value.

Davon King (56:49)
Yep.

them into grease, batter them things up.

Yo, and you know what get deeper in that, bro, is that the people who's in the hood profiting off of that stuff don't even consume that stuff. Like, bro, you know how many times I've been in the Chinese spot order and the four chicken wings with the fried rice, and then I look at them, bro. they back there eating, bro, they got the whole fish head with the, bro.

Comebackking77 (57:14)
They don't even come home yet.

and everything is white rice. White rice and bamboo shoots.

Yeah!

Davon King (57:33)
They not eating the sesame chicken that they serving us, bro. Even I remember when I used to drink alcohol a lot. I used to go to the liquor store and I'm like asking the guy like, what should I get? Should I get this? Should get that? And he like, I don't even drink, but he owned the liquor store. He's pushing this poison, but he don't even consume it.

Comebackking77 (57:35)
Nah. Nah.

Don't get high

or your old supply number five.

Davon King (57:53)
Facts, and bro. And then like the Chinese spot be in the hood for generations, bro, and they never get back to the hood. You don't see them do no food giveaway. Bro, they got poison all around us, bro. Poison all around us.

Comebackking77 (57:54)
That's great to go. Ain't that wild?

But

think about that, but think about how, why did you say that, right? We literally created a whole.

food culture from the scraps. So think about us being like all that stress and, but we had the skill to turn scraps into gold and after a hard day of being whipped and beaten by the sun.

Davon King (58:32)
Come on, you tough.

Bro.

Comebackking77 (58:37)
And even though we did, they laughing like, they gave us the scraps in the air. And we at the table every night eating like kings.

Davon King (58:41)
And we made it a delicacy. Bro.

Bro, we can keep it going. They put us in projects. That's public housing. That's low income housing, bro. We made it where the kids from the suburbs want to come experience it. Like we made it look so good. anything they try to do against us, anything that was supposed to be to our detriment, just, bro. But the only thing is,

Comebackking77 (58:52)
Yeah.

Isn't that, isn't that wild?

Davon King (59:11)
We control cool, we just don't own it. That'd be only thing, bro. That'd be the only thing.

Comebackking77 (59:14)
Yeah, that's the part. Yeah. But see,

that, but that comes from, that comes from the fortitude of survival is the turn, like we're the only culture who going to jail is a rite of passage.

Davon King (59:26)
Yep.

Facts, facts. We come from when the homie get a teardrop, like, he caught a body off. You got niggas at a clown, you ain't never pulled that trigger, you ain't never, you ain't do. That's wild, bro, that is wild.

Comebackking77 (59:36)
We made jail cool.

Yeah, think about that. Think about that.

Right, isn't that wild?

It's so crazy because like, they don't tell you how many nights of sleep you lose for the rest of your life. They don't talk about that. They don't talk about you looking over your shoulder, getting annoyed when life is good, you can't even have peace.

Davon King (1:00:03)
Mmm. Nope. Nope. Yup.

Bro, half of these niggas is closing their eyes when they pull in that handle. That's why innocent bystanders be getting hit.

Comebackking77 (1:00:18)
Where?

We're part

of the know, with the dude from Hit-Em-Up, you know, accident met him up and I ain't never heard it yet. It's crazy. Yeah.

Davon King (1:00:29)
Bro, but you listen to the music, they're like, I stood over them. they,

yeah bro, but they're not gonna, like you said, they're not gonna tell you that after they caught that body, they ran in the crib and vomited off, they, bro, man.

Comebackking77 (1:00:42)
Right,

right. I think that if we really get honest with our position as a people, like with anything else, if you don't admit you have a problem, you can't heal.

Davon King (1:00:54)
Bro, gotta say that one more You gotta say that again. That's a bar. That's a bar.

Comebackking77 (1:00:56)
Yeah. If you

don't admit you have a problem, you, there's no way to heal. It's just no, well, I listened to this guy. It's a, sharp brother, man, older guy. His name is, Myron Golden, right? And I've, he first caught my attention when he was talking about, and I did a podcast episode on it, talking about your identity. And he was saying your identity is who.

Davon King (1:01:09)
Okay.

Mm, life.

Comebackking77 (1:01:24)
Other people say that you are that you try to be that you try to live up to. That's what you identify with, but it's not the identity that your purpose to be. It's not your real purpose. It's not the real you. It's a lie. you know what mean? And how many of us are living up, are trying to live up to our identity because we're trying to be something that we're not to satisfy either opposition.

Davon King (1:01:28)
Mmm. Mmm.

Right.

Right, right, right.

Yeah.

Comebackking77 (1:01:53)
amongst our peers. You know what I mean? Like you got,

you got like, that's why most relationships don't work because you got two people who lie to themselves and to each other.

Davon King (1:02:03)
Yeah, facts,

bro.

Comebackking77 (1:02:07)
Think about that. You're

lying to yourself, but here's the crazy thing about it. You both have the right intentions. You both want the same thing, but can't even get to it because you won't be honest with yourselves first.

Davon King (1:02:18)
But you

can't, bro, in that, I remember when I was in like a top secret, like the person you see now, wasn't always this, right? Like clear headed, like trying to be of light, you know what mean? Just walking in light. And I remember just carrying around this energy and like you said, lying to yourself, trying to present an outer appearance that you don't even feel in the inside, right? And I remember talking to my home girl and I'm like, bro, every time I meet a chick,

Comebackking77 (1:02:28)
Right. Right.

Right.

Davon King (1:02:47)
She did, she that, she did, she that, she that. And she like, she was like, bro, she hit me with something that nobody ever told me. I'm complaining about the women I'm dealing with and like how they got this characteristic and that and that, things I don't like. And she like, they only showing up as, they only showing up as what you're showing up as. She was like, so when you're moving and not your true identity, you're meeting people that's moving in that same energy. And like once, bro, once you.

That's why when you see the cover of Unnecessary Necessary, it's the mask coming off. Because I had to strip all of that. They just see the flowers coming out and the butterfly. Because I had to strip the mask off, bro, and really show up as my true self. So that's why, not to talk about my music, but when you hear the lyrics, you hear the real story. Because, bro, the mask is off, bro. I gotta show up as my true self.

Comebackking77 (1:03:21)
Yeah, was hard. Yeah, it was hard.

Let's go.

Well, you know, here's

the one thing that's unique. And I think that's the one of the things that caught my my interest when I started when I first heard you is because it came off as really authentic. It was really like it was really vulnerable. And I recognize that immediately. Like, you know, yeah, I'm dope. I could put it together this and this and this. I'm not glorifying this, but I'll take you along the journey. This is just part of my story.

Davon King (1:03:50)
Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Right.

Right.

Comebackking77 (1:04:05)
But I think

you said something that triggered a thought in me. What if the very first, the very first sign of our melanated people's mental illnesses, especially in our males, is delusion because we are trying to be something that we're not from the start.

Davon King (1:04:23)
You talking heavy. You talking heavy, bro.

Comebackking77 (1:04:25)
That's That's

crazy. As soon as you said that, it just made me think like we're playing, we're playing out here playing make believe not crazy. You be to play make believe in the real world. 24 70.

Davon King (1:04:33)
And then

And now

you're meeting a woman that's playing make believe too. And she's believing the make believe that you're making.

Comebackking77 (1:04:45)
Right.

So then whenever you show up, whenever you start become comfortable and start showing her your real self, now you're off, now you're a liar. Now you two faced it.

Davon King (1:04:51)
She like, nah, this ain't what I, this ain't what I, yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Bro, I was one of them niggas, bro. I was, bro, bro, bro, I was scrolling through an old text thread and I'm reading all cap. I'm capping to this woman, bro.

Comebackking77 (1:05:03)
We all were. That's crazy, right?

Hahaha

next

Davon King (1:05:16)
I no longer talk to her, like, I'm like, bro, that's why I'm glad I finally seen the light, bro. Like I'm creating a whole illusion of myself, bro. Like I'm delusional. I'm not this person I'm portraying to be. And then, like you said, once she started, it's only, cause it's only so long you can keep up a facade. So now once you get closer to this person, the mask start peeling off. It may not come off fully, but.

Comebackking77 (1:05:16)
Yeah.

Mm.

It's fact.

Davon King (1:05:44)
Small pieces start coming off. And then she like, nah, this ain't who I thought I was dealing with, yeah.

Comebackking77 (1:05:46)
Right.

Nah,

Yeah, isn't that something? But think about it like as a person, I think this is why you find celebrities and politicians get exposed the most because they spend so much time behind a mask, playing make believe. And then there's the the the playing make believe that keeping up with the image is so stressful.

Davon King (1:06:01)
Yeah.

Comebackking77 (1:06:12)
that whenever you get a break from it, you dive harder into your vices.

Davon King (1:06:18)
Bro, and that's why we seen Kendrick. Bro.

Comebackking77 (1:06:21)
You end up with a thousand bottles of oil and lube.

Davon King (1:06:24)
Bro, you gotta think, if we wanna talk about it, right, that's why Drake keep getting whooped in battles. Pusha T whooped him, Kendrick whooped him, because these is dudes who showing up as themselves. Kendrick is speaking of, you listen to his album, bro, he talking about childhood trauma, he talking about, he's pulling himself back layer by layer in front of millions. And to me, Drake reached a level of like super starting where he has to keep a image up in a way.

Comebackking77 (1:06:26)
That's crazy.

Mmm.

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

Image

he only thing he could do is talk about the image And you don't even Right But what Drake don't know Drake is Drake is probably so So so if you believe in the delusion that hard You it's hard to find yourself But it would really probably don't know is if he really went back

Davon King (1:06:53)
in.

Facts, facts. And that's why Kendra say you're not like us. You're not like us.

You're too far gone.

Bro, bro, bro, cause that's not even why most niggas fell in love with his music. It was because you felt like it was authentic in the beginning. Like he was being super vulnerable, but then once those hits start, it's like a drug, I guess he's like.

Comebackking77 (1:07:20)
If he really went back and shift the whole.

Yeah.

And just

for, bro, since Bess ever had, I ain't listen to him no more. I don't even think, like that song to me was so, it was like, it was so raw about how you could feel about a chick. You know what I mean? It was cool. He was so vulnerable in that moment with that track. Cause every dude who really fell hard for a female felt like that was the expression.

Davon King (1:07:41)
Me neither.

Bro.

Comebackking77 (1:08:01)
Can you imagine if he go back to like, you know, like really speaking on his pop, feeling like how his pops did his mom, how he had the battle with being, being mixed. Like, you know how many kids it is out there like that? How he made, how he really came from nothing and had it and did things he didn't want to do to get to it. Like if he's dug into that bag. Hey, look, Greg, I mean, I mean 10%, if you, if you do, if you do this song.

Davon King (1:08:01)
Bro, go back to that.

Roll.

Bro.

Bro. Bro.

Get back, yeah. Just give me 5%, I just need 5%.

Comebackking77 (1:08:30)
Look, five for my man and five for me. That's 10. We put it out here first. This is the sauce, Drake. This is gonna get you back to where you need to be with the public eye.

Davon King (1:08:33)
Yo, bro. Bro, I'm telling you, bro. Great.

Like that project he just put out with party dance door that was the wrong follow-up coming off of a battle like that, bro Like you say you got him like that his own of it was his first time but I remember to think me later album I was I was like my junior senior year high school, but I was the soundtrack to that summer, bro We was like it felt like he was talking Bro, felt he was talking to us. Like we we young we we out here chasing girls. We thought we dug in

Comebackking77 (1:08:49)
Yeah.

something.

I ain't listening to none of this. Yeah, really? I might have to go back and listen to it.

Right.

Right.

Davon King (1:09:09)
Bro,

felt like it was somebody you could connect with. If he get back to that, you said, bro, he'll see a shift. He'll see a whole shift. Yeah.

Comebackking77 (1:09:15)
Yeah,

his was dope too. Like, you know, we talked a lot about how different ways that mental health shows up in our culture and everything. But the one thing that's beautiful about our people and about all of this is that we have created environments within the environment that brings a lot of joy and unity and strength.

Davon King (1:09:38)
Yeah.

Comebackking77 (1:09:42)
But we just got away from that. You know what I mean? Like it turned into, it done got perverted by hypocrisy, commercialism, money. You know what I'm saying? And now it shifted to something else. used to be, we would be five, six, seven deep as youngins walking the street, going to hoop, going to meet up, going to go bug some girl, chase them around. Those was good times.

Davon King (1:09:42)
Facts. Facts. Facts.

Yeah.

That man.

Yup, yup, yup.

Bro, I remember.

Comebackking77 (1:10:10)
You know what I'm

saying? Like, your neighborhood, you was always good in your hood.

Davon King (1:10:13)
I remember my cousins would be out there trapping. I'm a young dude. They out there trapping. But I remember one mother's day, they ran out a limo for all the mothers on the block and let them go have dinner. Then I remember everybody pitching in and we'll have a big fish fry on a Saturday. It was community, bro. It was like, if your mom was at work but you was outside while in the neighbor could snatch you up.

Comebackking77 (1:10:22)
Mmm.

Yeah.

Yeah, you know

that that that that one boy can come over here.

Davon King (1:10:42)
And she called your mom, and then she really called your mom, your mom like, yeah, pop them upside the head for me. Like, you know, like, yeah, bro. It was...

Comebackking77 (1:10:50)
Yeah.

So it's kind of

a balance, but now it's like the disrespect is crazy. You know what I mean? The way the kids talk to it, not only strangers or people who should be elders, how they talk to their own parents.

Davon King (1:10:57)
Yo.

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, man. It's no, it's no type of unity. It's no type of like respect level. It's no, like we just said, everybody's out here living on a whim, bro. I just feel like it's just a chaos. It's a free fall, free fall, yep.

Comebackking77 (1:11:17)
That's a free for all. A free for all. And

I've always said this. When people, when you go home and you have moments, when you have those quiet moments by yourself,

That's when you start getting back to who you really are. When you're no longer putting on a performance for anybody. When you're in that mirror in the morning, the bathroom, you done looked up, washed your face off, those quiet moments. That's who you are. I remember, I remember like, I would be like out doing my thing, wiling, drinking, smoking, doing whatever. And go to the bathroom or whatever, go wash my hands, look up.

Davon King (1:11:38)
Yep.

Yep.

And I think enough.

Yeah.

Comebackking77 (1:12:00)
and look at myself, I couldn't even recognize like who is that?

Davon King (1:12:01)
You like.

Yup.

Bro, you know how many times I was in such a bad space, I would avoid mirrors? Like, you have to avoid mirrors? Bro.

Comebackking77 (1:12:10)
Yeah,

yeah, you know about that. That's crazy. I've been there. I've been there. I don't even know who that is. I have no idea who that

Davon King (1:12:18)
Bro, would wash my hands and keep, you

wash your hands and keep your head down and then you just turn off the light and walk out.

Comebackking77 (1:12:22)
Yeah, I've done that.

But see, you know what? I've done that so many times, but a lot of people don't even know what that's about.

Davon King (1:12:29)
No, no, they don't even know what we talking about, bro. No.

Comebackking77 (1:12:31)
No, that's

crazy. I can't even bear to look at me. That's crazy.

Davon King (1:12:35)
Nah, Bro,

you washing your hands, you hit the light, and you just walk out. You walk out, yep. You brushing your teeth, you ain't even looking at yourself.

Comebackking77 (1:12:42)
gone gone that's crazy so it's good

now you don't look now you know you you you know you lying to yourself i can't even look at myself in the mirror

Davon King (1:12:55)
That, bro, you know, bro, we laughing about it, bro, but that's deep, bro. That's deep. And there's a lot of men that want to admit that, bro. There's a lot of men that want to admit that.

Comebackking77 (1:13:00)
Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

I would say something like I hear people throw around, depression, right? they depressed. They did this. That's a, I was suffering with depression. And I'd be really thinking like, nah, nah, you might've, you might've felt bad or you might've been, you might've been down, you know what I You might've been up a little bit, but you ain't never waddle and couldn't even didn't even want to move.

Davon King (1:13:24)
Yeah, yeah.

Comebackking77 (1:13:31)
You couldn't even get out. You didn't want to move. You just wanted the end right now. Why can't that you just awesome to turn a wilder when you just wanted the end. I just I can't even face nothing. I don't even want to I don't want to face nothing. I don't want to see nobody face. I don't want to see the day. Everything that I'm looking at reminds me of my problems.

Davon King (1:13:36)
Mm.

No.

Comebackking77 (1:13:52)
That's crazy. I just need it. I just need something else to drink. I just need something else to smoke. I just need to have now, you know, and there's so many of our young men is there right now. That's one of the reasons why, like I did create God's fault because I wanted to be able to speak and have conversations with people like yourself who has overcome a lot of things.

Davon King (1:13:56)
Yeah. Yeah.

Right.

Yeah.

Comebackking77 (1:14:18)
and turned it into something positive, and they can give back to the people as an example. Not like you've to be some kind of savior or anything, but you you'd be surprised how many people are literally just watching your movement just because you move it, and they're not.

Davon King (1:14:20)
Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's real, that's real. That's real.

Comebackking77 (1:14:36)
You see what I'm saying? So regardless

of whatever, your life is always, it could be a light for some or a cautionary tale. You know what I'm saying? It's going to be one or the other. You know what I'm saying? So I want it to shine as a light as much as possible. Like in the world, it'd be like, you know, be like a light on the top of the hill. You don't hide a light under, you know, you've set it on top of the hill, you know, so that you could guide others to it.

Davon King (1:14:47)
Jesus.

Under... Yeah. Yeah.

And like, I was just telling my mom this. I'm like, when you trying to be alike, you got to align yourself with other lights. Because if we use one lamp to light up each part of the house, eventually that light bulb gonna blow because you're overusing it. But if I could be a light and you light and then we got another brother that's a light, it's like...

That's, it's just brighter, bro. Like we, and we gotta get back to unity, man. We gotta get back to like picking each other up, bro. Like I hate when I see people like, I just, just feel like this kid, De'Shay Frost get banned on the streaming app. And then in the comments, everybody like, yes, yes, yes. Like celebrating his downfall. And I'm like, bro, we gotta get, we gotta get away from that, man. We, and like, like you said, the reason you created this podcast, bro, is because

Comebackking77 (1:15:35)
Yeah.

Mmm.

Davon King (1:15:56)
You wanna be able to shine light and give these type of conversations that can be useful. And that's what it is, bro. Our gifts ain't meant for us. Our gifts are meant to be a gift for others, bro. And our blessings are meant to be a blessing for others. That's what the Bible teaches us in like, bro, we gotta get back to like, it's not gonna be easy. Yeah.

Comebackking77 (1:16:04)
That's it.

and united,

just being good, having a unified purpose of better. the one thing I, I used to think about the weirdest things, and the one thing that I always thought about, like think about ops,

All ops want the same thing.

Davon King (1:16:30)
Yeah.

Comebackking77 (1:16:30)
They want to be able to take care of their people. They want security. They want to be safe, right? They want the love, they want love and admiration.

Davon King (1:16:39)
Yep. Yep.

Comebackking77 (1:16:40)
And if they would just take a second just to conversate with each other.

Davon King (1:16:44)
And like, bro, we out here trying to do the same thing, bro.

Comebackking77 (1:16:47)
Do we trying to do the same thing? That takes me back to something else I had Laura Strayer to thought on. We used to like when we younger, like a group of us walking around, you know, in the neighborhood, blah, blah. We hanging out, we could pick up, we know this one, that one. They might not mess with us like that, but we know them from your room, and it's cool, and dah, dah, dah, dah, right? Now, one block can't go to the other block.

Davon King (1:16:52)
Yeah.

Yeah.

Comebackking77 (1:17:10)
One project can't go to the other project.

Davon King (1:17:13)
Yup. Yup.

Comebackking77 (1:17:14)
We can't go, we're from this project, same town, same city, we don't own anything. But we can't go over there because we're not from there.

Davon King (1:17:19)
Nope. Bro.

Yeah, and that my neighborhood was like that. was a block called the Crossway and I was from Hampton Court and everybody, everybody went to the same school. parents grew up with each other. Everybody know each other. It's like a small circle. Like everybody knows some, if I don't know you, I know your cousin or I know your uncle. But bro, it's like.

Comebackking77 (1:17:36)
Wow.

Right. Right, right, right.

Davon King (1:17:49)
These blocks ain't even far away from each other. And you mean to tell me I can't just go see my cousin on this block because I'm from this block? It's like, yeah, it's crazy.

Comebackking77 (1:17:55)
Yeah. Isn't that

really good? That's, but you can't convince me that that's not mental illness. That's like, that's like, think about how, how often you got to be to really believe that that imaginary boundary is what's keeping you apart. Or that, that, that means that you can't unite because you're from one block, name this, you're from one block, name that. And now we can't get together because that we're in prison.

Davon King (1:18:08)
Thanks.

Yeah.

Bro, you right. That's-

Comebackking77 (1:18:22)
ourselves. Think about that.

Davon King (1:18:24)
That's serious. That's serious mental illness.

That's mental illness. You're right. You're right.

Comebackking77 (1:18:28)
That is, that's,

that's, I'm tech. I'm a listen. Here's, I've seen a story, right? This is how I know. Hold on one second here. My phone tripping, but I've seen a story and I thought this was the craziest thing I've seen. I got some examples, right? Or what I would just like randomly looking at this stuff, these stories. And I was just like, what is happening here? All right. So where is it, where is it, man? This is, this really got me. check this out.

Davon King (1:18:35)
Dang it.

Comebackking77 (1:18:55)
What'd say? Cash app dispute turns deadly. A Miami woman shot and killed by her boyfriend over $37 in cash app.

Davon King (1:19:08)
Come on man. Come on.

Comebackking77 (1:19:11)
What?

You know how ridiculous like you can't tell me that $37 meant that much. Now obviously we're going to say, it's worth it. It's about more than that. Whatever. I ain't even had to go into the full story. I don't know if somebody shot and tried to shoot her $40 and she only pulled $37 out, but she needed $40 though. And he got wind up and got jealous. I don't know what it is, but regardless of whatever it was.

Davon King (1:19:21)
Is the principal, yeah.

it's mental illness, Mental illness.

Comebackking77 (1:19:39)
You mean to tell me you're that insecure or that $37 meant that much that a life needed to end over it? That's not mental illness. Like if I'm a judge in the courtroom, yes, this is stupid. This should have never happened. Yeah, you should probably get the book thrown at you. Like, cause this is real stupid, but you got to explain to me why you did this. Like what is going on in your mind to justify that that needed to happen.

Davon King (1:19:48)
That's mental illness.

Bro.

Comebackking77 (1:20:07)
Here's another one. Check this out. It gets better. Futures baby, hold on, futures baby mama named their child Check Baby and then demanded 55K a month.

Davon King (1:20:20)
Very large.

Comebackking77 (1:20:21)
She named

the child Check Baby.

Davon King (1:20:25)
That's not

Comebackking77 (1:20:26)
Is he

stupid or is he just stupid or is he off?

Davon King (1:20:30)
Bro, that's mental illness, bro. That's, bro, nah. I'm convinced now, bro, a lot of the things we're seeing is like the product of like, the people we see, I hate to say this, but I'm thinking like a lot of the things we're seeing are the kids that we saw in the one classroom, bro. Like. Like.

Comebackking77 (1:20:35)
Come on,

Yeah, yeah.

no, because here's the thing. At least those you can say, they slow, they slow. You know what I'm saying? You they a little off. You know what mean? We're gonna do that for cuz. Hey, cuz a little off. You know, don't mess with them. They might snap on you, right? But when you got a guy, who is this? Look at this other one. William Banks had four months left.

Davon King (1:20:58)
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Comebackking77 (1:21:16)
but filmed himself and his crew escape a jail and posted it like a movie. So he had four months left on his jail sentence and filmed him and his boys escaping and posted it like a movie.

Davon King (1:21:26)
Jesus Christ.

What is that, bro? Like, what is... What is that? And I seen that video. I seen that video on Twitter, but I didn't know he had four, bro, four months.

Comebackking77 (1:21:34)
Yeah. What?

Four

months left on his sentence. You escape, you should be like an automatic two years if you escape.

Davon King (1:21:46)
Now you're about to get it.

That's That's sick. You know how pissed I'd be if I was waiting for this nigga to come home, bro?

Comebackking77 (1:21:57)
Right. Right.

Davon King (1:21:58)
No more commissary.

Comebackking77 (1:22:00)
Nothing, you gets nothing. No business. You're gonna ride them out, That's crazy.

Davon King (1:22:02)
No letter, no nothing, no visit, no nothing. Because you an idiot, bro. You're an idiot.

Comebackking77 (1:22:08)
And then, here's one more, this is fun. 31 year old mom of three, hear me now, 31 year old mom of three flew herself out for a 25 year old scammer paid for everything and she still got played.

Davon King (1:22:26)
A mom of three children. She left her...

Comebackking77 (1:22:28)
Yeah. And then she

talked about it. Then she complained about it online. She told everybody.

Davon King (1:22:32)
She left her kids

to go link up with a stranger. Now you're in, you used the money that could have been paying a bill, taking care of your child. Yeah, bro. We just out here free balling, bro.

Comebackking77 (1:22:46)
These are

the decisions that we making except for the one with the black, but the rest of them is melanated folk. These are the decisions that we are making.

Davon King (1:22:50)
Decisions.

Bro, and you know what pisses me off with that, bro, is not to bring up my music, but that's why I've made decisions and everything, bro, because we develop an obsession for the victim mindset. So niggas, people make these stupid decisions and then they present themselves as the victim when the consequences that come from their decisions, now you're the victim.

Comebackking77 (1:23:12)
I was getting all the stuff in here.

Yeah.

Davon King (1:23:23)
Like I seen the video you're talking about of the 31 year old mom of three. She made herself sound like a victim. No, you're an idiot,

Comebackking77 (1:23:27)
Yeah.

Yeah, you throw. You can't see that you throw and the crazy thing is there's a bunch of throw females, a grand with it, in the comments.

Davon King (1:23:39)
And then that's the problem.

We give, these people are obsessed with the victim mentality. So now you know you can do something stupid and idiotic and now you're going to get sympathy from the other idiots in the comments. it's like, bro, it's no accountability. Now you escape accountability.

Comebackking77 (1:23:52)
Yeah, but I'm glad.

So listen to how dangerous our situation is. And I'm glad you said the victim mentality, right? So what if I'm no expert? I've just been around a couple of years. What if this victim mentality stems back to us actually being victims that were never justified?

Davon King (1:24:15)
Peace.

Comebackking77 (1:24:17)
And we can't be accountable because we don't have an example of what accountability looks like because nobody stood up for us to say this was wrong.

Davon King (1:24:26)
Nigel, bruh. Bruh. You gotta clip that. That's a clip. That is crazy. We never seen justifi... We actually weren't victims and never received any justice from it. And we never seen the people that was the abusers be held accountable. So we only follow in tradition of the...

Comebackking77 (1:24:28)
Come on, That's crazy, right?

any justice.

Hannibal ever.

We got the same mindset. We got the ultimate Stockholm. We got it so bad that we treat each other like our oppressors treat us.

Davon King (1:24:54)
ARGH!

dog that just came full circle you just put you just bring brought that full circle

Comebackking77 (1:25:12)
Bruh, that's crazy.

Davon King (1:25:14)
So with that in mind,

when you see people that's using the victim card, do you have some type of grace on them or mercy?

Comebackking77 (1:25:22)
I

think you have to, and not for whatever action they did, but I think it comes from just having a higher understanding of what the real situation is.

Davon King (1:25:35)
And yeah,

Comebackking77 (1:25:37)
You get what I'm saying? It's not like a

past at all because at the end of the day, individually, we all have to walk our paths because see, here's the one mistake I think we make as people, regardless of all the stupid stuff that we hear people do,

The word says you gotta work out your salvation with fear and trembling.

Davon King (1:25:56)
Right, right.

Comebackking77 (1:25:58)
So that's because you're where you are. You wasn't always where you were. And when you wasn't where you were, there was somebody looking at you at that time of where you was at thinking you need to get it together.

Davon King (1:26:04)
Becks.

Yeah.

I know. I know.

Comebackking77 (1:26:14)
They didn't

know that you were going to be here right now. And some people still treat you where you used to be.

Davon King (1:26:18)
Yeah. Yeah.

Bro, my pep-

Comebackking77 (1:26:24)
That's how they still

see you. They don't know this version of you.

Davon King (1:26:28)
That's crazy. That's crazy. That's crazy. My pastor was saying, he was like, some people like you better broken. He was like, cause if you, if, if.

Comebackking77 (1:26:35)
I got three others like

a name right now that prefer that I just go get to it.

Davon King (1:26:41)
And you know what, bro,

you know what he said? He said, cause think about when you walking, right? You walking, if you're not broken, you walking with that confidence, you walking with a little pep in your step. But if you're limping, it gives them the illusion that they can keep up with you, bro.

Comebackking77 (1:26:54)
Mm. Fact.

Davon King (1:26:55)
If you're walking with

a limp, you're walking slower. even if you're on another level than them and y'all not the same, it gives them the illusion that, so they like you better broken.

Comebackking77 (1:27:00)
Yeah.

Yeah.

Let me tell you something. I have a new understanding or like appreciation for those who quote unquote made it. And the reason I'm saying this is like, you know how you got like a basketball star, football star, whatever rapper, whatever come out the hood and they actually got some real success. And then people tugging on them. You ever hear that story? They repost on it.

Davon King (1:27:29)
Break.

Comebackking77 (1:27:33)
Jay-Z worth a billion dollars and he wouldn't give his cousin 4,500 to do the da da da da, right? This is speaking, spoken from people who never got any bread. Cause when you get bread, you understand what it took to get the bread, right? The work you had to put in for it. And you also know that at any time, if it's not managed correctly,

Davon King (1:27:44)
Facts, facts.

There's another level of appreciation. Yeah. Yeah.

is gone. You can be right back to square one, right back to ground zero. Yep. Yep.

Comebackking77 (1:28:02)
is wrong.

But people who never made those kind of sacrifices or develop those disciplines are always looking for the hand me out. And sometimes, especially when you know them, I got this, I'm going to say, I can't even say all the, I got people that I love that I don't mind doing for.

Davon King (1:28:12)
Yeah. Yeah.

Right.

Comebackking77 (1:28:24)
But if they ask me for some real bread, the answer's no.

Davon King (1:28:28)
Thanks, thanks, thanks.

Comebackking77 (1:28:31)
I might, hey, okay, yo, there you go. I already have, I've already factored that into my success. I've already factored that in. yo, yo, need, yeah, I got you, don't need to worry about it. But if they ever came to my aid, because until I seen something that showed a different mentality from where they are, I already know is I'm not taking no bread and just lighting it on fire.

Davon King (1:28:38)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know it's coming.

Yeah.

Because you already know if I give it to you once, you're gonna be right back again. You're gonna be right back again. Yup, yup, yup, yup.

Comebackking77 (1:29:02)
It's a black hole. It's a black hole.

I don't need a black hole in my back pocket. Like that's crazy.

Davon King (1:29:09)
Bro,

I remember, I don't know if you know the YouTuber DDG, but there's a YouTuber named DDG and he's from Pontiac, Michigan. He came from a struggle and he became a millionaire at a very young age from YouTube. And his older brother would be working a nine to five, still living in the hood. He's out in LA living in a penthouse. And his brother used to call him up from time to time like, yo, I don't wanna bother you, but I need...

Comebackking77 (1:29:18)
Okay.

Over.

Okay.

Davon King (1:29:38)
The bill about to get, you know, this about to happen. He said I would send it to him. He said, but then he called me again and asked for the same, you know, all over again, the next month. And he like, bro, he told him, if I give it to you, you're to just be calling me again next month. I'm going to buy you a flight out to LA and I'm going to show you how to do this YouTube stuff and you'll never need me again. And like now his brother, million subscribers, they're on the same level. So it's like.

Comebackking77 (1:29:41)
All right. Right.

Right.

Davon King (1:30:06)
Like they say, the old saying, if you teach a man how to fish, he'll eat for life. But if you give him a fish, he'll eat for a day. It's like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Comebackking77 (1:30:12)
Yeah, that's,

that's, that's, that's, that's real. And there's people I've, I've tried to do that for, and they show no desire to do that. So I see, do, you put yourself in that box.

Davon King (1:30:28)
Facts, facts. And you.

Comebackking77 (1:30:31)
You

put yourself there. I didn't put you there. You put yourself there. You showed me that you're not willing to stand up on your own too and be a man.

Davon King (1:30:40)
Be a man. You gotta stand on your own ten.

Comebackking77 (1:30:42)
That's not I'm

not calling you a man. Your actions say you're not a man. See, the one thing I was just thinking about this other day and when it comes, especially the black men, because we get held at such a higher standard than any other man on this planet, the American black male. Right. And what a man is right. Is one thing that I could share this to the whole world right now, I'm going to tell you this very clearly. Men don't try to be men.

Davon King (1:30:47)
Bro.

Comebackking77 (1:31:08)
We just are.

Davon King (1:31:10)
Jeez! Jeez.

Comebackking77 (1:31:12)
It's

no definition for it. You are who you are.

Davon King (1:31:16)
Yeah. Yup. That's it. That's it. Nah.

Comebackking77 (1:31:19)
that you can't try to be, you

are. And you know the difference when somebody's trying to be something that they're not, and when you are what you are, because you rub most people the wrong way about most things, because you already stand on what you stand on.

Davon King (1:31:32)
Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, bro, it's no learning manual. There's no guide to it. just, you were put here.

Comebackking77 (1:31:43)
It's just

the quality of that band is going to be a reflection of your choices.

Davon King (1:31:47)
Thanks.

Comebackking77 (1:31:48)
That's it. we have a technical difficulties. Please stand by. We have a technical difficulties, man. Please stand by.

Davon King (1:31:50)
my bad, bro. Okay, I'm back. I'm We have a technical difficulty.

Yo, dang, I never thought of it like that.

Comebackking77 (1:32:01)
But

literally that is it and the best way to understand what that is for a young man is to be met through older men.

Davon King (1:32:12)
Right,

Comebackking77 (1:32:15)
Cause you're

going to learn from it either way. Cause while you're watching them, you're going to decide, do I want to go through that or don't die? You will see him deal with his female. Do I want to rock like that or don't die? That's why it's very important to have a father in the home and see how you interact with the moms because now wait a minute, dad did it like this. he was bombing. I don't think he should have did it like that. Or dad did it like this. Yo, he a G for that. Yeah. You know what mean? You pick it up.

Davon King (1:32:34)
Yeah, yeah, yeah

You pick it up.

Yeah. Yeah. But now you have...

Man, you know how they say, bad company corrupts good character. So now you have just unstable men trying to teach from an unstable perspective. it's like, it's a cycle of just unstable men being created.

Comebackking77 (1:32:48)
Mm. Yeah.

Right. Right.

But if you think about it, it's part of life's journey. You know, I don't think I think we demonize things that we should be. We should be learning from, I think, just because something is doesn't mean it will be always. Right. So me looking at my pops coming up, right?

Davon King (1:33:17)
Yeah. Yeah.

Comebackking77 (1:33:23)
I directly did not want to be anything like this nigga here. Okay? Didn't want to be anything like him. And me fighting not to be like him with the trauma that was mixed in with it, I ended up being just like him in a lot of ways.

Davon King (1:33:28)
Right, right.

Yes sir.

Yep. And you don't even realize it.

Comebackking77 (1:33:44)
Cause I didn't

understand environment and I didn't take the time. So, however, once I identified that I was becoming just like him and I ended up just like him, once I faced myself, I said, wait, this is not what I intended to be.

Davon King (1:33:55)
Yeah.

Right. Bro.

Comebackking77 (1:34:03)
I can adjust this.

Davon King (1:34:05)
And that's the problem

with a lot of our community. We get stuck and we feel like you said, there's no hope that things can change. It's like, I am who I am. I am what I am and I'm just that. I'm that for life. I'm gonna die this way. I'm gonna live and die this way. I'm gonna take this to the grave. It's like, you don't have to, bro, because you wasn't born this way. These are things you've developed over time. You weren't born an angry person. You was a very beautiful child. You had very good energy.

Comebackking77 (1:34:17)
Right. Right. Right.

that.

Right.

Isn't that something?

Davon King (1:34:35)
You learn this and you develop these traits. But some people don't have that desire for it or just don't, I don't know. They just don't even, yeah.

Comebackking77 (1:34:45)
Right? I'm

gonna tell you something that's wild, right? When I was younger, one of my nicknames was the tester.

Cause I would try anything at least one time, man. That was stupid. I would just, Oh, I can't jump over. How far, how far is that? Put the ramp up. I got you. Or back with a spring ankle later. You know what I'm saying? Limp it. I told y'all I could do it. What? No, gonna like the whole woods or fire. Watch.

Davon King (1:34:58)
Right. Right.

Right.

Just a daredevil, just daredevil, just all daredevil.

Comebackking77 (1:35:20)
Yeah.

But it's so funny to look back later on in life. I'm still that same person.

Davon King (1:35:28)
Right. Right.

Comebackking77 (1:35:29)
I will risk it. I'm a high risk, high reward person.

Davon King (1:35:34)
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Comebackking77 (1:35:35)
I just am.

it's inherited in me somehow. I'm a high risk. I don't mind trying something that I've never tried before or taking a risk to see a better outcome.

Davon King (1:35:49)
Mmm. And that you still

Comebackking77 (1:35:50)
That's

from youth, I've been that same person.

Davon King (1:35:54)
And the beauty of it is you know how to, the same thing, like the same thing you was doing, that might've bust your head up, bust your lip open. You now use that same trait, but in a more positive way. Man. Yeah. Yeah.

Comebackking77 (1:36:02)
Mm-hmm.

in a positive way to do whatever. Like

now I'm like, okay, wait, wait. Oh wait, they got a market. Wait, it's legal where I can put money in it and it multiplies. Oh wait, if I learn it, oh, can do this, I can do that with it and I can get more bread out of, my dollars, can I have baby dollars? I ain't never did it before, but you know what? Let me open up this account, this brokerage account. Let me throw this bread in there.

Davon King (1:36:26)
Yeah, man.

Yeah.

Comebackking77 (1:36:35)
I don't boy weight before. I don't take a couple of grams and tear it in the mouth, but I can definitely take this little paper and let it multiply and flip it. I'm just still flipping paper, right? But if I didn't have that adventurous nature, even to even start and

Davon King (1:36:41)
Bro.

And it's simple. It's simple.

Comebackking77 (1:36:57)
a podcast, YouTube channel to write my first song to perform it on stages. People don't understand. mean, I see some of your stage performances and I'd be like, yo, that's so dope. And that's the one thing like I got tired of doing. I got tired of performing. I was just man, I'm tired of traveling. Like people don't understand what it takes to travel, to get set up, to get the sound right. You know what I mean? To the crowd.

Davon King (1:37:12)
Yeah, yeah.

then all the anxiety that goes

bro you have so people don't even when you when an artist on stage and you see them dancing and turning up you don't know you don't know the anxiety they went through this the arguments they went through

Comebackking77 (1:37:28)
Yeah.

This is true. Right on four? Right, right. You have

no idea. It's so funny because my youngest daughter, she's a performer. And even before she'd be like that, I am so nervous. I'd be like, yeah, that's that good energy, girl. I'd be like, yeah, go get it. I'd be like, yeah, turn it out. I said, go ahead. That's it. You got it. I said, never lose that feeling. I said, if you lose that feeling, you lost it. You've got to have that energy. That's the one. And then she'd go out there. She'd be like, I did. And I used to watch her. I'd be so proud of her.

Davon King (1:37:48)
Yeah. Yeah. You lost it.

Yeah.

Comebackking77 (1:38:00)
because

I know what she went through before she got up there, but if she didn't have a father who went through that first, that let her know, nah, nah, that's good what you feeling. That's why I learned, baby, it's gonna be all right. And then, you know, none of that. no, you got your, you feel it? I said, yeah, yeah, you about to turn up now, baby. That's it, I'm telling you, this is it, this is it. You know, then she go out there doing her thing. I'm like, yeah, go ahead, go. You know what I'm saying?

Davon King (1:38:11)
Yeah!

Yeah.

growth.

Hey,

you gave her that. You don't even know what you did. Those few words, that energy you gave her, you then sent her to the roof. Now she going out there hitting every move, every, Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Comebackking77 (1:38:35)
doing her thing. Bro, hitting everything perfect. Like you would never

think she had any nerves or anything. So it's just, it amazes me. This is like the resilience. And I think this is why the stigma is so hard when it comes to our people, because we work so hard to survive, overcome, push through, you know what I mean? So that we don't,

Davon King (1:38:43)
Nope. Nope.

Comebackking77 (1:39:01)
give each other enough grace for when somebody's broken.

Davon King (1:39:06)
Bro.

Comebackking77 (1:39:06)
But yet

we all spiritually, want grace and mercy from the most high, but we don't want to show it to each other. We'd rather judge each other, say what we think, this and that. That's why I say, I don't trust anybody who have more opinions than power.

Davon King (1:39:16)
and that's what

I like that. I like that. I like that. Yeah.

Comebackking77 (1:39:26)
I just don't.

If I can see power in your life, I'm on it. You ain't gotta tell me nothing. I'm watching. I tuned in.

Davon King (1:39:34)
Yeah, because

I'm the type, I like to look and observe and I can channel that in my own play. I could watch you lead by example. Demonstration sometimes be the best teacher. I don't need your words. I could just watch and just follow the demonstration. Yeah.

Comebackking77 (1:39:52)
My wife put me on game a long time ago. She was like, why are you telling me you love me? Show me.

Davon King (1:39:59)
Show me. Show me. Show me.

Comebackking77 (1:40:01)
I come

in and try to be romantic. I don't know what I learned about love. I learned it off of TV movies and crap. know that by no daggle love keeps wet. You might be my man. It just put me on. wait, my man just put me on to the craziest thing, That keeps wet song. This Negro said you might be young, but you're ready.

Davon King (1:40:10)
Yeah.

Yeah,

yeah, yeah, yeah.

Comebackking77 (1:40:27)
Whoa.

Waitin', I never would give you bro for doing that to me, man. Bro, and then keep sweating for me too. That's so crazy.

Davon King (1:40:35)
That was kind of R. Kelly vibes right there, bro. That was it.

Comebackking77 (1:40:40)
Yo, Bel Biv, the vote had a whole, what'd say? Say, underage, I slide, I like to do the wild thing. Whatever he was talking about in that one song. Bruh, backstage, underage, adolescence, how you doing? Hi, she replied, I smile, I like to do the wild thing. What?

Davon King (1:40:50)
Bro.

that's crazy. That's cra-

Comebackking77 (1:41:01)
backstage

underage adolescent bro.

Davon King (1:41:05)
But how do

those things just sweep through like they like

Comebackking77 (1:41:08)
because they was already so commonly accepted. You got to remember when coming up in the hood, mothers seeing their daughters as competition, they develop fast and all their uncles, the many uncles that their mommas used to bring in out the house was already testing the waters.

Davon King (1:41:19)
Thanks. Thanks.

Yup.

Jesus. That's a fact. That's a fact.

Comebackking77 (1:41:31)
So they learned at an early age to be over-sexualized.

So they would go already.

So if this man is already telling me I look like a woman, he flirting with me and I'm walking around the house in my pajamas and stuff, mama's other uncle, my other uncle and my other uncle. By the time I become 14, 15 years old, he's already done got me all probably hot and bothered in puberty anyway. So it's nothing to see the 18 year old boy in the street in the hood or whatever. The older guys hanging around, they ain't doing nothing. Right?

Davon King (1:41:49)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Comebackking77 (1:42:05)
So

listen, I remember this and this is all, this is mental illness. Well, first of all, for adult men.

To look at this young girl, know that she's underage, but he see a woman.

Davon King (1:42:16)
That's That's sick. That's mental illness. That's mental. Bro, and if we...

Comebackking77 (1:42:17)
You can't tell me that ain't no two-edmics.

You see a woman? You see a woman.

Davon King (1:42:27)
You what's crazy, If those things was like, if we cut the cancer before it spread, a lot of things in our community wouldn't even be. Like if we saw a homie doing that, you like, yo, I'll knock you out, bro. Like leave her alone, bro. Like, know, like, but it's because a lot of things in our community be like, like they get the confirmation. Like it ain't no pushback to like the things that's not, that shouldn't be of the norm. It's like.

Comebackking77 (1:42:50)
Yeah.

Davon King (1:42:53)
Yeah, but like mental illness, you got a bunch of mentally ill people. So how can I give you pushback? Cause I'm not even in the right space. Yeah. Yeah.

Comebackking77 (1:42:53)
Yeah.

And one thing, God can judge me. Everybody, only God can judge me, only God can judge me. Now, but now, we judge you by your fruit.

Davon King (1:43:11)
Everybody got that tattooed in the hood. Everybody got that tattooed.

Comebackking77 (1:43:17)
Your fruit tells on you. It tells what kind of roots you got. What you produce.

Davon King (1:43:23)
Facts, yup, yup. That's why now, bro, I don't care what you telling me, it sound good. It sound good. That's my thing now, it sound good, yeah. But, give me time.

Comebackking77 (1:43:31)
It sounds real good. That's why

my wife be like, you know, show me what you got to show me consistently. Don't show me one time. No grand gestures. And that's another thing too, because if you think about, think about how we as a people put on these grand gestures to demonstrate love and emotion, right? It has to be all this grandiose.

Davon King (1:43:43)
Yeah.

Wait.

Comebackking77 (1:43:59)
whatever, but it's only a moment. And if it's not received right, then there's F you.

Right? So wait, so there was a love that.

Davon King (1:44:03)
Yeah.

Yeah, and that be...

Comebackking77 (1:44:09)
How could it

turn from a thousand rose petals?

Davon King (1:44:15)
And that's the problem,

there's no real connection. It's just living off of a series of moments. And if that don't continue happening, it's like.

Comebackking77 (1:44:24)
right then then it's

that's why I tell people like if you want to have if you really want some relationship guidance I promise you me and my wife will sit in and got you I can get her on this on this camera to sit down with me she'll talk but she won't get on this camera but if I tell her she'll be wild

Davon King (1:44:32)
Roll.

Even

Bro,

even like, be wondering why they can't keep a friend group is because y'all don't have a real connection, bro. It's just a series of moments that y'all, like, we only kick it when we go to the club, but we only kick it when we passing back and forth for blunt. We never be having like sober minds and just dialogue, just real life. Like, I don't even.

Comebackking77 (1:44:51)
Mmm.

You

Right. That's

very interesting that you said that. One of the things that I think hinder or allows mental illness between us as men to go under the radar is that we don't have enough conversations with each other and we don't know how to communicate with each other and we don't allow each other to express ourselves.

Davon King (1:45:14)
Yup.

Yes!

Bro,

and I be seeing things online like dudes that get exposed for like being a weirdo or creep with women. And then the women would be like, you didn't ever spot that in your homeboy? And it's because a lot of men just have relationships because we both Lakers fans. Like,

Comebackking77 (1:45:38)
What do I know about what he do when the lights go off? We just we like LeBron.

Davon King (1:45:41)
We don't have no real

dialogue. All we talking about is sports and basketball. So you don't even know that this man is schizophrenic. You don't know that this man is battling depression or whatever, because your friendship is only based on a foundation of something that's not solid. So it's like, yeah.

Comebackking77 (1:45:48)
That's real.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm gonna tell

you something that's real crazy interesting and me and my brother is working through a lot of things because we grew up in the same home and had two different experiences, right? My older brother, shout out to Tony, AKA Mayday, Papa to B, love you, man. So, and he would appreciate this. And what I think I wanna do too, I think I wanna do a panel, right? And get a couple of us on here to chop it up together, right? Yeah, just a couple of, I got,

Davon King (1:46:15)
Hahaha

That'd be dope. That'd be dope.

Comebackking77 (1:46:29)
I got my young fam Deuce Deuce from the Kings Council. And I got my brother, he's a financial guru, OG, ex-chief from the Navy. You know what I mean? Got you. I got my man LS, liquor shop. You know what I'm saying? Like I want to get us on a panel and just like, and just kick it about, you know, men things. You know what I'm saying? And me and my brother was talking one day.

Davon King (1:46:33)
Okay.

Bye.

LS.

Yeah.

Comebackking77 (1:46:55)
And this is crazy. He was expressing to me something that he had got from somebody else who spoke into his life, and it bothered him because it made him face something about himself. And I hope he I don't really think he'll mind me sharing this, but about possible unresolved anger issues. Right. So why he explained it to me. I'm, you know, now.

Davon King (1:47:05)
Right.

Okay.

Comebackking77 (1:47:23)
We're learning to communicate at this late stage in our lives. Because he had left home early, went to the Navy, and I was left alone, so I felt abandoned. We was already not living with our parents, because we had to go live with our grandparents, because the home situation was already crazy. So I felt like he abandoned me twice. Right? He ran off to the Navy. I ran to the block. Okay?

Davon King (1:47:26)
Man, man.

Right.

Wait.

Mmm.

Right, right.

Comebackking77 (1:47:50)
So over the years, our relationship always been up and down because now he had to come home to a little brother that he couldn't recognize.

Davon King (1:47:56)
Yeah.

Comebackking77 (1:47:57)
And I was, and he was trying to be somebody that I've never seen before.

Davon King (1:48:01)
Yeah, you was too far gone. You was already, yeah, too far gone.

Comebackking77 (1:48:04)
too far along. So

by the time, so, you know, so over the years, you know, this has been, this, our relationship has been mending all this time and I can admit that and everybody just say, they brothers, they love each other. Yeah, we do, but we still learning how to communicate with each other. So he's sharing this thing and I'm trying to, you know, I'm not trying, but I'm conversing with him and he just keeps getting elevated, elevated. I'm like, yo, man, what you like?

Davon King (1:48:19)
Yeah, yup, yup.

Comebackking77 (1:48:30)
Maybe that's what they talk about. I can't even talk to you. Wow. And man, you know, me, you're up in your voice and everything like what you're doing, like, you know, so he kick it in. But then he was explaining to me, he was like, no, he's like, it's not that I'm so frustrated because I thought I was in a better place than what I was, and I'm having a hard time articulating it to you. So I'm not mad at you or frustrated or yelling at you. I'm just frustrated.

Davon King (1:48:35)
man.

Mm.

Right that's deep

Comebackking77 (1:48:59)
And I had to take a beat because in my mind,

little bro, nigga, I'm grown and only reason like, I might not fight, but I will off you. You test me. I mean, like that's all that stupid stuff. You know what saying? So that's the, that's the default nature. That's why I be too quiet because I know it's going to go two ways and I don't, can't do that to you. So, so that's the default defense mechanism.

Davon King (1:49:14)
That's the pride. That's the pride. Yeah, yeah.

Right, right.

Yeah.

Comebackking77 (1:49:28)
When went in stocks, they call that the resistance, the line of resistance. So. I'm sitting there, but then so then I then I was able to start hearing him. And I was like, I was like, your tone, you know what? We broke a barrier today because we just really learned how to communicate even more better and the intention situation. That's something we couldn't do before.

Davon King (1:49:31)
Yeah, that's for sure.

NUTS

Bro. Bro.

Comebackking77 (1:49:54)
It took

us 40 plus years to do this.

Davon King (1:49:58)
Bro, and that's like not just you and your brother, bro. That's the mental illness of our community. that's communicate, no, because.

Comebackking77 (1:50:09)
No lack of communication.

Davon King (1:50:11)
Bro,

because not, you gotta think, most of the time one person is on offense and then one person's on defense. And it's never gone, that only works in basketball and sports, bro. It don't work, it can't work in communication, bro. It can't work in communication.

Comebackking77 (1:50:18)
Yeah.

Not in communication. Not in communication.

And if men, so think about if us as men work through our, like, first of all, if we learned that, if we took the stigma off of mental illness and don't see it as a weakness, but just see it as what it is, meaning we have some weird ways of thinking about our perceptions in life, about certain things that we're dealing with, and we need to be healthier.

Davon King (1:50:45)
yet.

Bro. Yeah.

Comebackking77 (1:50:52)
and our perspectives.

Davon King (1:50:54)
bro,

and we're on the same team, bro. Like you, my presence, my presence don't have to put you on defense, bro. You don't have to be on defense around me, bro. We on the same, we wearing the same Jersey dog.

Comebackking77 (1:50:57)
Yeah, we're not against each other.

Isn't that crazy? And think about

that, like, when you go into different areas, when brothers cross each other in the streets, we already got our guards up.

Davon King (1:51:13)
You see it. You see the whole facial expression change. You see the whole energy shift. Yep.

Comebackking77 (1:51:16)
The whole face change and everything.

It's not like we ready for what I don't know what you want. I'm ready.

Davon King (1:51:22)
And you're like, bro,

I'm in the store. I came down this aisle just to grab some milk, bro. I'm not even.

Comebackking77 (1:51:27)
I'm

not here to go to war with you, man. I don't know what you got going on. Think about how crazy that is. lot of people, coaches don't have to deal with that.

Davon King (1:51:34)
I just wanted to the 2 % milk out of the-

No, no bro. I see it daily. I see like in the Hispanic community, I see two men just, they're waiting in the mall for their wives and they both just happened to be standing next to each other and leaning against the wall. And now they both just comfortable. They're not even on defense. They just conversing with each other. It leads to conversation. And now from you looking at them, it looked like they knew each other all their life, but I could be in a store with a...

Comebackking77 (1:51:43)
every day.

I just

told my supervisor this, the one I was talking about in that conversation, I said, you want to know what's crazy? I said, I have more meaningful random conversations with people of other races than my own folks.

Davon King (1:52:19)
Thanks.

Thanks, man.

Comebackking77 (1:52:24)
I can

meet, can talk to anybody. And we just kicking it. say, hey, so be a, so the line, the line this, that, that, that we talking, that we in there arms folded. Now we talk about how trash the giants are and everything else. And we just kicking it. This, that, the wives and this is the all kind of just fly stuff. Just, just bitten off each other.

Davon King (1:52:27)
Bro.

Yup. Yup.

but

your brother's on defense over there. like, if you look at me too long, I'm gonna go. Like, I'm about to crash out on you, yeah.

Comebackking77 (1:52:48)
Yeah.

Right.

But he's dealing with all the stuff, the wrong perspective, the mental illness.

Davon King (1:52:58)
The

myths bro, it all circles back to is a, it brought it all.

Comebackking77 (1:53:01)
It just goes

back to it. And I think we have a very, I think we have a very narrowed opinion of it because of the stigma that it carries and not looking at it with a broader lens the way it should be looked at. It's unhealthy thinking patterns.

Davon King (1:53:17)
Yeah, bro, if we have more of these, like you say, you in the store and you just have a random conversation and you realize how much alike you are, bro, we can hill each other, bro. Like we really can.

Comebackking77 (1:53:30)
We really could, it starts with community, but it starts with you doing the work on yourself, you wanting better for you. And if you want better for you, it mean getting it by the demise of somebody else that looks like you.

Davon King (1:53:43)
mmm mmm

Comebackking77 (1:53:46)
And that's what we've turned it into. For me to lift up, gotta get to put you down. I gotta step on you to get up.

Davon King (1:53:48)
Yeah.

What whole shake was better than one billionaire?

Comebackking77 (1:53:55)
Yeah, that's.

Isn't that something? He said, he said, they put the devil on me. I'd rather you put the metal on me. That's one of I'd say you what? That's one of my favorite verses. I don't really rock with Ricky Rose like that. Just the persona. But that Freemason track with him and Hov.

Davon King (1:54:01)
Yo, that's deep. That's deep, like.

Hahaha!

They went crazy. They went bro.

Comebackking77 (1:54:26)
I might have to throw that over after I get off of it. Sometimes I put on certain tracks, you know what mean? Just like once in I throw on a track like, yeah, let me get me right. But yeah, because it's like, why my success gotta mean I'm a devil?

Davon King (1:54:28)
Me too,

Yeah. Bro.

Bro, it don't, like, I saw Wallow say something like, when black people become successful, other black people say, he joined the Illuminati. But Bill Gates is a genius. Elon Musk is a genius. Steve Jobs is a genius. He's a genius. He got it out the mud. He grinded his way up. Black person, hope to become a billionaire, he Illuminati. You see how he throwing this up?

Comebackking77 (1:54:54)
Thank

Yeah. Yeah, isn't that crazy?

Wow.

Davon King (1:55:09)
But mental illness that's mental illness, bro

Comebackking77 (1:55:13)
Yo, made the careers of like a million YouTubers, bro, on that topic. You done got a zillion views on that topic alone. You done put this through college or that conspiracy.

Davon King (1:55:22)
Bro, yes.

Yo, facts, bro, like it's mental illness, man. My success doesn't mean your failure, bro.

Comebackking77 (1:55:32)
Yeah. That's

wild though. That's wild. Man, hold on. just look, bro, we gonna have to, this is gonna be a long, we done been over here kicking it for a minute. We gotta wrap this thing up. Hey look, hold, before we do though, I've been seeing some heat come from you lately, man. What do you got going on? What can you share? What can you talk about upcoming? You got any dates?

Nah. And that's why I be like, when I do send people stuff, I'm like, disclaimer, this is a super rough mix. Don't judge it off of this, what you hearing. But I'm gonna send it to, I got you as soon as I get off, bro. But what happened was I got a random DM from this dude. His name is World Wide Beats. He's a producer. So he was like, bro, I'm rocking with what you're posting and stuff like that. And he's like, where you from? And I'm like, I'm from Long Island, New York. He like, I am too.

Comebackking77 (1:56:34)
Right. Right.

That's a B.

Over.

Davon King (1:56:53)
But he lives in North Carolina now. like, bro, he was, want to send you some beats. So I'm like, you know, I already sent it through. He sent me a pack. I press play. And I'm like, he got a different vibe. it ain't what you normally, you probably hear the more bouncy type beats that I'm on. And I'm like, this ain't my normal flow, but I think coming off of unnecessary, necessary, this is the perfect switch up.

Comebackking77 (1:56:54)
All right. Okay.

Yeah.

the

Yeah.

Davon King (1:57:21)
Bro, I'm just having fun, bro. It's like, Beats is like really fun, bro.

Comebackking77 (1:57:21)
Nice. Hey,

you got the talent to do it, man. Express your creative genius. You know what mean? Yeah. Yeah. I like that.

Davon King (1:57:28)
Yeah, yeah, man.

And I'll have a set date, but I got the title already. I got the artwork idea in my head. I got to get in the studio and do two more tracks and then we're going be ready to rock and roll, man.

Comebackking77 (1:57:42)
So how many you gonna put another EP out? How many tracks are we talking about?

Davon King (1:57:45)
I'm thinking

like four to five, same amount of the last one, but it's fully produced by him. And man, I can't wait. I'm gonna say you something, bro. He got some fire, bro.

Comebackking77 (1:57:49)
work fine. No care. No care.

Yeah,

give me something to mess with, Yeah, give me something to mess with. let you know, yeah. Now, I will tell you this. might, listen, if you don't, if you tell me to keep it on a hush, I will. I don't, I'm not sharing it to nobody that's gonna do something stupid, but sometimes one of my men, I be like, hey, you gotta hear what he did. You gotta hear this one. So, they won't share it. It's like one or two. It's one or two. I just, hey, I need you to hear this and tell me what you think. Yeah.

Davon King (1:58:02)
Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Nah, nah, that's cool.

Yeah, nah bro,

I'm about to send you one that's like, I can't wait to see what you think. Cause you know me for like the gritty straight, you know, so this one is a little, it's it's gritty, but it's like, you gonna see, you gonna see. Yeah. Yeah, man.

Comebackking77 (1:58:32)
Yeah.

That's what I'm talking about. get excited about music, If I, listen, if I

can, it's so, I'm gonna tell you what's dope. Here's the one thing that I've come to appreciate in my older age, man. You can enjoy a lot of different things. You don't have to be boxed in. I remember when I was a younger man, I thought I had to be this way. I had to be, you know what I mean?

Davon King (1:58:56)
Thanks.

Yeah.

Comebackking77 (1:59:04)
But

you could enjoy and get pleasure and fulfillment out of so many different things in life. Life has so much to offer, but everybody want to paint this picture of Loma Dome. You think God put his people on this earth to let it be destroyed? You know what I mean? Like everybody, I think we got the wrong narratives and they be in those pictures is painted by the wrong people, you know, and the planet is adjusting. Everything is switching up. Like, I think it's like, it's going to be, it's not going to be what everybody may be used to.

Davon King (1:59:13)
Bro.

No.

Bro.

Yeah.

Comebackking77 (1:59:34)
but it's

gonna be what everybody needs. You know what I mean? Where families can grow again and build and flourish. I just think, it's crazy. We're so quick to end it all when there's so much life remaining to live.

Davon King (1:59:37)
It means.

facts man I feel like the world just need like a purification like just a cleansing bro just cleanse it just cleanse it

Comebackking77 (1:59:54)
That's it. And I think it's on

its way. think that's where the resistance is coming from because you got the old regime trying to hold on to something and structure something, how they see it. But if we could really wrap our minds around who we are and our purpose, we could flourish amongst each other, like-minded people and grow and do what we need to do and really get fulfillment out of life, New infrastructure, new everything, man. Just moving forward and man, yeah.

Davon King (2:00:08)
Yeah.

Yeah.

Comebackking77 (2:00:20)
It can be a life, be beautiful, man. It's all about what you make it.

Davon King (2:00:23)
Bro, it's time to like Kendrick had a, he dropped something called Watch the Party Die. It's time to watch the party die, man. It's time to hit the reset button, bro. Like, yeah, that was cool. That was fun. That was like, we get it, but let's shake this, let's switch things up. Let's see how it could be from this, we approach it this way. We tried this, we seen the destruction, we seen the setbacks, we seen people fall short. It's like, let's try something new, bro.

It ain't gonna hurt. It ain't gonna hurt. It's gonna hurt, bro. Yeah, man.

Davon King (2:03:16)
Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Comebackking77 (2:03:28)
I was like, man, it's gonna be crazy. Cause that's one thing you got so much for people to consume already that just don't know it. You know, just like

we're even doing all this. Like they say, you gotta have like at least a hundred episodes in and you will start seeing it take off because it's out there in the algorithm. Just it's twirling.

Davon King (2:03:41)
Bro, I seen,

I'll be watching, you know, LaRussell and like how his work ethic is. And he inspired me cause he got like, he called it the 10,000 shot theory. And he like, bro, he was, what I'm doing, I feel like I'm posting every day, I'm doing something, but bro was posting, when he was on the come up, he was posting five times a day, six times a day. And like, he was like, bro, was just, he said, I wasn't worried about what was going in. I was just putting up shots, just putting up shots. And eventually one of them gonna fall.

Comebackking77 (2:03:46)
Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

That's it. That's it.

Davon King (2:04:10)
So a couple of them I'll start for. Yeah.

Comebackking77 (2:04:11)
What I'm going for is the numbers game. It's a numbers game. It is because when you got talent, when you dope, like it's not like you putting up garbage, you putting up hot. You know what I'm Like it's crazy. you and I'm reading, like I take, I enjoy reading the other people's comments. I'm like, okay, so it's not just me. I'm not, I'm not, okay. Yeah. He said it's hot. She said it's hot. Oh, he said it's real dope.

Davon King (2:04:21)
Yeah. Yeah.

Comebackking77 (2:04:36)
Oh, okay. Yeah. Because like, like this is me. I ain't tripping. All right. I thought I this was hot. You know what I mean? But it's crazy, man. Like I can't wait to hear this new stuff, bro. So yeah, don't yeah, you just keep doing what you're doing. And I'm not gonna God gonna put it in the right places, right hands, man. And you know, you definitely deserve to be heard nationwide worldwide, man. That's matter of fact, you know, with my man, a less one is a hip hop radio.

Davon King (2:04:37)
You

Yeah,

Amen.

Appreciate you there.

He shared it. Bro, we-

Comebackking77 (2:05:05)
I didn't even know. told me, yeah, listen, shout out to LS man. Look, he showed me how I was ranking on the Vegas radio stations out there and stuff with the month of DJs. I'm looking at the list. That's just on the thing. And I'm just like, I'm like, yo, that's dope. It got voted into the, now that's people who've not, like you don't even see them in the streams and that's just, that's off the strips of the work you already put in.

Davon King (2:05:09)
Not the LS, man.

Crazy. Bro, that's...

woke up to that, he mentioned me in the story and I saw Vegas. I'm like, bro, I'm in Long Island, New York, bro, and I'm on a list in Vegas.

Comebackking77 (2:05:37)
Yeah.

I was just about to say that. I was about to say, you, you bubbling in the West coast right now. That's great.

Davon King (2:05:51)
And

I'm thinking like my type of music ain't gonna cross over there because they not they not you know, they got the own bounce They got their own vibe. But the fact that especially that is die of all songs. It's like that's crazy. Yeah

Comebackking77 (2:05:58)
Yeah, that's, yeah, yeah, that's crazy, right?

And that's why when you think about that, that's when you think about how powerful social media really is, it exposes you to places that you don't have to really physically go to yet. It creates a lane for you. You know what I'm saying? Like when, every morning when I pray with the Mrs. We always pray.

Davon King (2:06:12)
Yeah, man.

Break. Break, break.

Comebackking77 (2:06:26)
You know, God, let your word be a life to our path today. Like light up our path in your spirit before us. You know what I mean? Like, what was that one, it was that one soldier, the centurion or whatever, the captain or whatever. He was like, hey, my daughter's sick. He was talking to Jesus. He's like, yo, my daughter's sick. I know you're a busy man, but I'm a busy man. I'm an important man. I tell troops to go here. I go tell troops to go there. You could just sing your word.

Davon King (2:06:31)
Alright.

Mmm.

Right.

Comebackking77 (2:06:55)
to my daughter.

Davon King (2:06:57)
Sheesh.

Comebackking77 (2:06:58)
and she'll be healed. I know you can do that. Cause I command people. If I could command people, I'm nowhere greater Jew. And he was like, I ain't seen no greater face in this my life. Go, she's taken care of. Think about that. Your joints just going, just going before you need to get there. The light, he already prepared your path for you, regardless of whatever it be. He already prepared it. Go there, go there, go there, go there. You hitting the eardrums right now, people you never met, never seen.

But she, I think she noticed it. So she was like, she's like, no, I'm not looking at you. I'm looking at your hoodie. She was like, that is a beautiful message.

you another crazy story real quick. Was it last week, my wife, I made her a military green joint and she was there dunking donuts with me. And it was this lady in there, another Caucasian sister, but she was in there. She was kind of like, it was funny cause she seemed a little awful a little bit, but I'm gonna tell you this. And I told my wife this, actually, real story, she actually seemed like,

Davon King (2:09:54)
Yeah.

Comebackking77 (2:10:02)
the spirits was messing with her. Right? And you know how when the demons was trying to mock and Peter and them saying, these are the servants of the Lord. Yeah, right. It was literally like one of those moments. And she was like, yeah, God. She was like, God, God's here. God's here. Right? That's how she was saying it. Right? And I started talking to her.

Davon King (2:10:04)
Mmm. Mmm.

These are serving and it was those following behind them and yeah, yeah, it's just fall. Yeah

Wow.

You're not

Comebackking77 (2:10:31)
And I was like, yeah, I was like, that's right. was like, yeah, you're right. God's here. I was like, that's right. And she was like, maybe he could take my nightmares. I said, he can. I said, he could take your nightmares. So then she's in, more women were started walking in, started getting crowded and busy. She was like, God's here. And another lady stopped and said, wait, God's here? And I said, absolutely here. I was like, yeah, he's here. And she was like, all I need is, I forget what she said. I just need something to happen, something about some pictures, something with whatever she was waiting on. I was like, God, God.

Davon King (2:10:34)
Yeah.

You can. You can.

He's here. He's everywhere.

Bro.

Comebackking77 (2:11:00)
I said, don't worry about that. But

just the whole bucket donuts was in the uproar because my wife was wearing reality.

Davon King (2:11:08)
Bro, I had this, now it's gonna sound like I'm cappin', but I had this same experience. I was walking in Walmart and the dude was walking out and I had your hoodie on. And he was like, G-O-D. And I was like, I don't know if he was being funny or not, but I was like, yup, the biggest G. But that's how powerful the brand is, bro. Powerful.

Comebackking77 (2:11:22)
Right. Right. Right. Right. That's.

Isn't that crazy?

That's, that's, that to me, that's wild. You know what saying? That it's sparking. Like it just resonate with that many people and it just showed you how many people, people are tired of religion, but people inherently, they know that God is real. And a lot of things just keep, keeps us from God.

Davon King (2:11:33)
Yeah

Yes.

Yeah, thanks. Thanks.

Comebackking77 (2:11:54)
the noise, the distractions, the noise, all the nonsense that keep us from experiencing God for who God is. And when they see it and they recognize it, because it's not just you wearing a hoodie, but it's the spirit that you walk in.
