    That young brother and I say young because he still got his knowledge and I guess from a personal religious standpoint he's trying to get it out before his maker text him so that's why he's not afraid to tell everything before time runs out I say congratulation to Old School he's doing with the Bible says do that if the pass on your knowledge before it's time and he wants to get it off his chest he probably don't talk to the pastor the church and everybody and they told him don't carry the guilt any longer.
