[Bit 1]

- So I grew up a pastor's kid

and I felt this pressure to get married.

This woman came up to me at church and she goes,

"God brought my brother a wife.

"Why hasn't he brought you a wife?"

And I had to tell her the truth.

I said, "Because my God loves me."

That's why.

I'm sure God did bring your brother a wife as punishment.

[Bit 2]

I've lost more friends to marriage than police violence.

I think marriage is the real nigga killer here.

[Bit 3]

I grew up so Christian, I wasn't allowed to watch Batman.

I had to watch Bible Man.

It was Willie Aims and a purple satin cape.

It was traumatic for everybody involved.

[Bit 4]

I grew up a little bit of a bad boy in the church.

I got in trouble for a lot of premarital hand-holding.

It was bad, it was terrible.

[Bit 5]

But I just realized, you know, I'm not my dad.

You know, when my dad was my age,

he had a car, two motorcycles, and he was a virgin.

I drive a scooter and I have hella hoes.

So, it's a lot going on.
