You're going to realize Lil Nas X isn't going anywhere, anytime soon.
00:19
I used to always depend on somebody else or other people for that love and attention.
00:26
You know, it's right here, you know, within me.
00:30
I think we know why we're all here today, five of you will be getting roses and the
00:55
rest of you will be going home.
01:00
You know, it's right here, you know, within me.
01:29
I've been doing things like closing in on me.
01:31
You know, it's time to stop music, go back to school.
01:35
And then I found this beat on YouTube, which is an old town road.
01:59
People always say, like, they love the bridging, you know, it did for, you know, hip-hop, country
02:18
and older and younger generations, and it's just a wide love song.
02:28
He's a young artist and, you know, it's amazing to see what somebody with a disruptive kind
02:50
mindset comes in and just really uses an interesting and artistic approach to it.
03:12
It's a banger.
03:13
It's a banger.
03:19
It's a banger.
03:21
It's a banger.
03:48
I'm growing up to hate this.
03:50
Hate what?
03:50
Homosexuality.
03:52
Gay people.
03:53
Come on now.
03:53
Why are you going to hate it?
03:54
If you're really from the hood, you know.
03:55
I'm already moving forward and I'm becoming more free with everything I do.
04:00
It was either going to be that or what, like, pretend this for the rest of my entire life
04:05
and also not be able to express that in what I do, my music.
04:21
So
04:43
I know, like, I'm here for a reason, you know.
04:46
Like, especially, definitely music, but it's like beyond that.
04:50
So
05:10
I guess I, like, grew up a lot having, like, this
05:14
hidden self-hatred, like, for myself, you know, and not even realizing that it was there.
05:20
So
05:50
I
06:07
know I'm here for a much bigger reason, you know.
06:11
So I want to definitely step into these conversations, start these conversations,
06:15
because I know my word means something.
