1000% straight up real talk.. game recognize game! God took me from the path of darkness and placed me in the path of right living. Even as a man willing to shed blood I would avoid it because lames always asking to die in their ignorance, so steer clear of them. Now I rest in God who takes care of it for me cause I've already proven who I am and now being a man of holiness has great appeal to my soul. #SinFreeGoals

Damn it is rare to hear so much intelligence and knowledge from super stars. All you hear from the majority of rappers is how much money they got, how many females they screw, what they’re gonna do to another rapper, etc etc. The way this man speaks and expresses himself is an example to follow for youngsters out there.

[@padeneller1126]

When every commit deserves a like, you make a commit! This man mental is astonishing, coming from that life style to grow and have this form of thinking is beautiful. Yall notice how he didnt cuss so you cant censore his words casue everyone needs to hear this....guess only in a perfect world Gates...

[@willieharkless782]

He gave a good example of respect by asking if he could cuss. He said it was okay will bleep it out but he chose not to out of respect . If you have to bleep then it was a no.

k Patrick thank you 🙏

[@mikeklotz9187]

It doesn't have to mean that. If your shirt is long and it even just a little bit baggy (helps if your jacket or sweatshirt is too) there's no reason to go from a 36 to a 40. If a 36 is extremely tight or u wear skinnies (dought he does) then maybe 38 and you'd have hella extra room. But who wears their pants that tight? If I was carrying in my waistband I'd wear a 36. And I wear a 36 always anyway. A gun doesn't take up much room. I'm guessing u never packed one

[@riotr8830]

Nahh bruh he ain't say if you disrespect me I'm a stay out ur way....he said...if I can detect you not no intelligent person by listening at you speak I'm a stay out your way cause I know what's gone happen if you play with me....also means like I already don't put my self round any person that can jeopardize my freedom or cause me to act in a way to jeopardize my freedom so if I do some shit to a mfkr that jeopardize my freedom just know it wasn't a choice I made

Had to put this on pause just cause this dude talk too much shit but how he feels and shit don't wanna hear it music is good but don't care about how you feel and your views in life opinion are like assholes everybody got 1 . Lot of contradictions in a Lot of what he says and shit so just another case of love the music don't care of personal life e.g. Chris Brown.

He don’t agree

Shoutout Gates, but sadly these days you might need your pistol at church, at the movie theater, the gas station, the grocery store, at school, the mall, your driveway, anywhere.

[@mikeklotz9187]

Man I watched it again this makes absolutely no sense.. He says he stay out people way when they disrespectful to him, but then he says he doesn't tolerate disrespect and if they do they gotta live all that ganster shit.. better be 100 of u.. that's not really staying out the way. It's furthest thing from it. I liked everything he said till that

[@mikeklotz9187]

When I first saw the video, I thought he sounded smart as hell. Then the more I thought about it part of it just didn't make sense. Not of all of it, his overalI message is a good one. I analyze everything, so if u want chalk that up as looking for fault and contradiction then ok..

[@mikeklotz9187]

Actually it does make sense to me now that I rewatched it, he says if he can see u r not an intelligent person he will try to stay out your way, but if u play with him (despite him trying to stay out your way) he will pull your G card and make u live all the wild ass G shit u talk and pull the rug out from the facade of your front
