WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, I COULDN'T SWIM.

I DIDN'T KNOW HOW.

MY DAD DIDN'T BELIEVE ME.

THIS NIGGA ARGUED ME DOWN.

WE HAD A POOL.

I'M SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE POOL.

I GOT MY FEET IN THE WATER.

"MM-MM-MM, MM-MM-MM."

I'M PLAYING, HAVING A GOOD TIME.

MY DAD SAID, "BOY, YOU BETTER STOP PLAYING.

GET IN THAT WATER AND SWIM."

I SAID, "DAD, I CAN'T.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SWIM."

HE SAID, "YOU KNOW HOW TO FUCKIN' SWIM.

GET IN THAT GODDAMN WATER AND SWIM."

I SAID, "NO, DAD, I'M SERIOUS.

NOBODY EVER TAUGHT ME HOW TO SWIM."

MY DAD PICKED ME UP, GRABBED ME, THREW ME

IN SEVEN FEET.

AS SOON AS I HIT THE WATER, I STARTED TO DIE IMMEDIATELY.

"HOO!

HOOO!

WHOOOO!" THIS IS WHY MY DAD'S AN ASSHOLE.

THIS IS WHAT MY DAD SAID.

"HEY!

YOU BETTER NOT FUCKIN' DROWN."

I SAID, "WHAT?

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO STOP IT.

I DON'T"-- WHEN I TELL YOU THAT WAS THE

MOST UNCOMFORTABLE RIDE HOME I'VE EVER HAD WITH MY DAD

IN MY LIFE, KEEP IN MIND, I ALMOST DIED.

WHENEVER YOU COME CLOSE TO DEATH, YOU BECOME

TRAUMATIZED.

HARD TO GET THAT SHIT OUT YOUR HEAD.

I KEPT HAVING FLASHBACKS.

WE IN THE CAR.

WE DRIVING HOME.

I'M LOOKING OUT THE PASSENGER WINDOW.

I KEPT REPLAYING THAT SHIT OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

I WAS LIKE, "NO...

NOO!

NO, DON'T LET ME GO, DAD.

DON'T LET ME GO."

EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, I WOULD LOOK AT HIM.

"WHY DON'T YOU BELIEVE ME?

I TOLD YOU I COULDN'T-- I DON'T KNOW WHY."

DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH RIGHT NOW.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT MY DAD SAID TO ME.

THIS IS HOW MY DAD TRIED TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HE SAID.

LOOK.

DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HE SAID.

HE WAS DRIVING, RIGHT?

HE SAID...

HE SAID...

[laughter] "I ALMOST LOST YOU TODAY,

DIDN'T I?" WHAT?

THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN, MAN?
