No, that was no lying. Like, man, this is real, uncut Jacob Fatu. And this ain’t me trying to say, ‘Oh, I had the hardest life, this and that coming up.’ No, this ain’t got nothing to do with that. This got something to do with, like, man, you can make it out of anything you going through, bro. Wake up. Go get it. Go push. Keep pushing, bro. Don’t give up. Trust me.”
