What Lil Duval Thinks He Got From His Ancestor Harriet Tubman

There's nothing about the way you talk that's contrived. And that's what's lacking. What people are lacking is people... It bothers people... When you're talking to someone and they're doing like the morning news guy voice, you don't even know who the fuck that guy is. You have no idea what... And it's a style of talk that they make them do if they want to tell the news in the morning. But you don't have a goddamn clue as to who that guy is. When you talk about something, you have zero of that. You have zero of that fake thing that you're trying to project out there. The fake thing is a weird thing. I don't even know how to... Ladies and gentlemen, very good to see you this evening. We're having a wonderful time here at the show. And you see darkness behind that guy's eyes. He's talking like... But you know what that is? ...family friendly. I think they come from where I ain't had no choice but to be myself. I kind of molded myself. I never was raised with rules. So now trying to be fake... It's harder for me to be fake than it is for me to be real. I can't... I be trying to put on the face and don't work. I be really wanting to be fake because it seems like it worked for other people. But I can't. I be trying to. So it's easier for me to be just genuine. Because I'm not good at lying like that. Yeah, it's definitely easy to be genuine. But it's hilarious that you tried to be fake. How would you ever try to be fake? Because if you're working for niggas, man, I'd be like, shit. What did you do? What did you do where you tried? I was just trying to go in the room and do the industry talk shit and act like I care. Like, I don't give a fuck. It's just get boring and shit. Thank God. Thank God you're here. I never gave a fuck about... I never gave a fuck about... I don't really want to be famous just to be with the people. I never gave a fuck about the industry part of it like that. Maybe because I've been doing it a long time now in my world, maybe that's what it is. So it don't intrigue me as much. It's like fucking a bitch a thousand times. Maybe that's what it is. But I don't know. Shit don't do nothing for me like that. What does it do? The entertainment part of it? It gets me to where I can get to the people. That's what I use it for. I love the people for real. And the funny thing about it is I recently found out here at Tubman is my blood on for real. So it kind of makes me... So that's why I feel like that. I do like helping people. She's your great aunt? Yeah. On my granny's side. My name's on the statue. Hold on, I got that too. My brain, this is my brain. Your brain's on a statue? No, I'm saying I got my brain. No, man. I'm saying I got the statue in here in my brain. My brain is in the iCloud. Your name's on the statue? Yeah, yeah, yeah. The brain's on the iCloud. Yeah, my name's on the Harry Tubman statue. Have you always been like that or did that change at all when you started smoking weed? No, I was always love people. That's where my name come from just representing Jacksonville, Duval. I've always did that so whenever I can't rep it, it's in my name. So it's kind of like psychologically for a person that's from there, it makes them see something because you are what you see. So that's why I always use that name. Really? Yeah. To elevate the people from where you came from. Yeah. That's beautiful. That's a beautiful name for a name. That might be one of the best names. Duval? Yeah, because the sentiment behind it is one of the best names I've ever heard. I love that. I love that you're doing that. I love the thought behind it. That was the whole thought from day one. I mean, I've always knew I was like even where I grew up, it always knew like, I ain't supposed to be here. It's like, what the fuck am I doing in this shit? Then I was like, maybe God put me here to see this shit for that reason. To get out and tell everybody that you can get out too. Not just to be an example, you know, because I mean, I think the world's going to evolve how it's going to evolve, but I don't want the people from where I'm from to get left behind too. So it's just like, all right, let me show y'all what's going on so you can get a chance to be in this same situation. Just to see the world a little more, you know. So that's why. But hold, let me find this. That's a great name and a great reason for a name, man. Yeah, but Harriet Tubman. So it just, the Harriet Tubman thing just made me realize like, damn, that's why maybe I'm like this. It just all goes back to the nature thing we were saying, like it's in us over time. You start realizing. That might really be where it does come from. I mean, who knows where personality traits like that do come from besides learning from the people around. And my grandfather, that's not even like my blood grandfather. I grew up with three granddaddies and I didn't realize that wasn't normal until I got older. But he was always in the community in Jacksonville. So I think I get a lot of that from watching him growing up. Yeah. Yeah, if he's a mentor figure and you saw the benefit that he got out of it. I don't even know if I saw the benefit. I just think it's just come second nature. You are what you become. I mean, you are what you see in this. That's just the way I move from around older people. Like I've always been around older people and then think older people, people that was raised by older people, they end up being all right because older people teach you the right values in life. My first friends was old people. Like, all of my, they used to have bridge parties and shit. Here, go right here. I'm gonna see what you got. Shit. You know, the shit in the brain, it's got to remember like, oh, let me think about it. Seriously, what data plan are you on? This is the slowest I've ever seen a photo come out. I told you I got cranked. We're still waiting on that line. Oh, the line doesn't ever, I forgot all about the fucking line. Oh, shit. Hold up. Y'all gonna think I'm lining shit. Okay, what do you got here? Oh, that's the wrong one. That's what? That was the wrong one. Shit. Oh, no. Fuck, I had just posted on, well, that's the monument in Bristol, Pennsylvania, some shit like that in Bristol. And is it just her living, surviving relatives on the monument? Yeah, yeah, all the names of the, all the names of the people that, wow. They're gonna mind that. That's all my mom and my sister, my nephew, all that's on there. That's some dope shit, you know, so I can talk shit about that too. For sure. You ain't got nobody to grab my great grandma Harriet Tubman though. I wonder how much of that actually gets in your genes. I think all that dude, just like an athlete. It's like athletes, the next athlete be Bella and Bella and Bella. It's like that, it's just natural, it's genetics. It's just natural in you. Just like spirits. It's just like, it's just natural to spirits. We probably met four spirits ago. Probably. Yeah. Yeah, like maybe we're, like if we are both living the same life over and over and over again, we've probably done this a couple of times. Yeah, maybe so. For sure. That'd be dope. You come back the next lifetime, I know. Hey, well. I know you. I know you.
