Woo
Ok
Good show
Good show
Time to relax
What
No
Don't come over here

Hello
Hey
I just wanted to say how amazing you are you're my favorite trumpet player
Thank you
I really appreciate it
I really do
Is this your first time at one of my shows
Yes but more importantly I wanted to ask you about your hair
Excuse me
Your hair
Why is this woman asking about my hair
My locs
Your hair
How do you do all that

Okay here we go
A brother trying to find some peace and quiet and now
I have to answer questions about my existence
Don't overthink this
Just answer the question and show her the same respect you want in return
Respect
They ever show me the same respect and kindness I show them
Why should they get it in return
No Sille
Go back inside and stay quiet

Is there something wrong
Oh
Uh nothing my this drink man damn this drink is strong as hell
So my hair it takes about 3 hours
I have someone re-twist it for me
Oooh
Aaaand she's touching my hair
It's spongy
What the fuck

I don't like this
I don't like this
We should tell her to stop right now
Everything is ok
Break is almost over
Just try to keep the conversation going and create some distance between y'all

Na na na na na na na we ain't feeling this right here because if
WE did it she'd be clenching her purse
She'll wanna call the cops
Why do we keep letting them get away with this
We should tell her to stop
No
Yeah
Just let it be

Yo yo why do you keep doing that
Doing what
Letting his voice go unheard
Like he has feelings too man you gotta let that shit out
That's why people keep disrespecting us
My job is to keep your reputation in good standing
I mean yeah but
You wanna be successful right
Heh yeah
You want everyone to like you right
Yeah
This is how
You can't have your thoughts and emotions running wild

I know but
Man we got emotions too like
Shit we deal with this shit every single day we gotta let that shit out
You're so hell bent on trying to keep a good rapport man its not healthy
You don't need emotions
But it's toxic
You need success
That's my purpose
That's bullshit
As long as I'm here you won't have to deal with it

I just wanna be free
I hear you little bro
Let's stop this
No more
Let's try tapping into our emotions enough to speak up and demand our space that's all
It's not that serious
Not that serious
After all we've been through
Feeling like an outcast
Feeling an afterthought
Being called crazy or a loose cannon
I have been the one that keeps everything under control
Me
You want me to open the flood gates
Fine
See what happens

It's ok
I appreciate what you've done for us over the years but
I have to be able to speak up for myself when things are just not right you know
I can't be silent any more and I can't let people get away with these kinds of things
Little man
Just nicely say that you don't appreciate being touched and we should be good
We'll be gravy baby
Are you sure
Yeah I'm giving you consent

Yo get the fuck off me
What
