I'm telling you we were legit barbie cologne seriously and we did was He's right we sold our soul because we had our own routines and our own river and people love what we did. And we got with this rapper from the funky four plus one more and he had his own vision in his own kind of style and instead of us going to the studio and going after that back with the only person only person that did that was bird and he left the group because of that right and one of them was left the group because we he believed more into group that we believe that cocaine the hell of a hell of withdrawal relation to stay away from drugs Eighteen years old seventeen years old seventeen eighteen years. He's a bobby. Bobby saying the met the producer when we did that low medium. Burt was in studio warming up. He said go with stuff. But no we believed in jeff. Yup and and this.
