1
Yeah, and so we were...
2
Well you asked me if doing prison was the hard part, and I spent over 12 years in prison.
3
In 18 years I did 12 total.
4
And it wasn't the hard part, it wasn't going to prison, it was getting out and trying to be part of society again.
5
Because at one time I was a contractor, I had four employees, three bedroom house, blah blah blah blah blah.
6
And I had to lose it all to realize it was just stuff, but still.
7
So then when you're done with your time and I discharged my sentence in February 11th of 2011, I got my parole papers signed off.
8
I became a citizen again.
9
I can actually vote.
10
I can actually go in and vote for the president.
11
But I can't get a job here or here or here.
12
I can't have any apartments because they won't accept felons.
13
And I even went through an agency that took felons
14
and they'll give a pedophile an apartment before they will me because I had a drug charge.
15
I wasn't even dealing drugs.
16
I had possession but anybody that has possession drugs.
17
They're worried about them selling drugs in their apartments
18
So they won't give them one
19
but this place would give a pedophile somebody who raped a little baby
20
or something and give them an apartment But they wouldn't let me have one
21
because of my felony because I had a drug felony
22
And it's just a hard part was just becoming part of society again.
23
It's like they didn't want me They didn't want me to be part of their society So I just decided fuck it.
24
I'm gonna sleep in a tent.
25
I'm gonna do what I love for a living
26
which is playing music and
27
if I just make a little bit of money I'd rather do what I love with a passion
28
and make a little money then go back to contract
29
and then try to make a lot of money and be part of a society that doesn't even want me no more.
30
Fuck them, you know?
31
Fuck society.
32
That's what I feel.
33
Feel that?
34
Why did...
35
I meet a lot of good people, but I believe there's a lot of good people out there, but for the most part, most people, all they care about is themselves.
36
You could be standing there on the corner bleeding and people just drive by you.
37
They wouldn't want no part of it.
38
They I wouldn't want no part of the trauma.
39
There'd be one in 10 that might stop and help.
40
You know?
41
I walked up to a woman once to ask her what time it was.
42
I was pushing the cart, me and my wife were pushing our cart.
43
We had all our stuff in the grocery cart.
44
I was pushing, I needed to know what time it was.
45
So I went up to ask this woman what time it was.
46
She was like, oh, get away from me.
47
I don't have any money.
48
Leave me alone.
49
I'm like, I don't want any money.
50
She's like, just get away from me.
51
Go.
52
I'm like, and I'm thinking, what could have this woman been through that she's so terrified of a stranger that she,
53
what if my wife was pregnant, her water just broke and I needed help?
54
I mean, who knows?
55
What if I was having chest pain and I needed her to call 911?
56
She didn't care, just get away from me, go.
57
I don't got no money, she thought all I wanted was her money.
58
I just wanted to know what time it was.
59
And it hurt, man, it's like damn.
60
People are like- It does hurt.
61
And I was like, damn, humanity.
62
So many people, what have they been through that makes them
63
so terrified of relationships and people that they just don't want nothing to do with nobody?
64
It's sad.
65
It's really sad.
66
I wasn't scared of you when I saw you.
67
Well, it's your one in a million, you know?
68
I mean, you're actually sitting down and talking to me, you know?
69
Most people don't give a damn.
70
But it's all right, you know?
71
When it comes down to it, I came in this world by myself, and when I die, I'm gonna be the only one in that coffin.
72
And so really all I guess that matters is me, I guess.
73
I don't know.
74
I think people matter, but the more I'm starting to see, less and less.
75
You matter, bro.
76
I feel that way about you too, man.
77
You matter.
78
I mean, you care.
79
You matter.
80
It's sad to see that most people don't.
81
It's just sad because there's so much beautiful things in life.
82
There's so many beautiful things in life.
83
Relationships are beautiful.
84
Nobody wants relationships.
85
Check this out.
86
I've got over 240 some friends on Facebook.
87
Most of them I knew from high school.
88
I mean, I knew a lot of people.
89

93

95
And I'm talking to people that asked me to be their friend, oh, so and so wants you to be their friend.
96
Well, I know this person from high school, sure, I'll be their friend.
97
What does that mean?
98
What does that mean?
99
It means people don't want relationships no more, they're so into their internet and so into their Facebook, They got their faith, this is their idol.
100
Internet's become an idol, man.
101
It's like, people don't want relationships.
102
They want the kind of relationships where they can be who they wanna to be
103
and be who they are you know instead of being who they are be who they want to be
104
and pretend to be oh yeah I'm six foot four
105
and I got dark hair and blue eyes and big shoulders
106

107

113

114
and forth instead of having a 10-minute conversation
115
that could have summed it all people don't want conversations they
116
want they don't want nothing no more I don't know what they want but this world sucks man
117
way do people see it really totally agree I mean
118
but I'm just trying to make the world a more better place man a more beautiful place
119
and if music and art can do it and somebody appreciates
120
that that's all that matters if I can make a difference in one person's life that's all that matters
121
you made a difference in my life praise God I mean hallelujah you did well be sitting here with if he hadn't.
122
Because you were playing your guitar when I walked up.
123
Well, hopefully it's a positive difference.
124
We can all make a negative influence in somebody's life, but if we can be a positive difference in somebody's life and make them just think for a minute, maybe there is something worth caring about.
125
You know? But I don't know.

Obiettivi di parlato per questo video

Questo clip è perfetto per esercitare la comprensione della lingua colloquiale e la abilità di esprimere emozioni e storie personali. Ideal per chi vuole migliorare la fluidità nella conversazione informale, poiché il dialogo è ricco di pause, ripetizioni e espressioni autentiche che riflettono il modo in cui le persone parlano nella vita reale. È anche un'ottima occasione per esercitare il shadowing (imitarre la pronuncia e il ritmo), una tecnica fondamentale per imparare l'inglese con i video.

Banca di frasi utili

  • "I had to lose it all to realize..." (Dovetti perdere tutto per capire...)
  • "It's like they didn't want me..." (È come se non mi volessero...)
  • "I'd rather do what I love with a passion..." (Preferisco fare quello che amo con passione...)
  • "What could have this woman been through..." (Cosa potrebbe aver passato questa donna...)
  • "It's sad to see that..." (È triste vedere che...)

Queste frasi sono riutilizzabili in contesti dove si vuole esprimere riflessioni, frustrazioni o sentimenti personali. Memorizzale e usa il shadowspeak per imitare il tono e l'intonazione del parlante!

Correggi i tuoi punti deboli

Il video aiuta a lavorare sul ritmo della conversazione e sulle pause naturali. Nota come il parlante usa "umm..." e "y'know?" per organizzare i suoi pensieri: queste espressioni non sono "errori", ma fanno parte della lingua spontanea. Pratica a ripetere le frasi a tempo con lui, cercando di seguire il suo flusso. Se fai fatica con la pronuncia di parole come "felony" o "pedophile", usa il video come shadowing site: metti in pausa, ripeti e confronta il tuo accento con il suo. Ricorda: la pratica di conversazione in inglese non è solo sulla grammatica, ma anche su come essere capito e comunicare emozioni!

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
