My name is Jamil Pirant. It’s just that when I think about being buried alive, I think about being in the joint. It’s like, you know, you got all these capabilities but you can’t do it cuz you buried. They got you in this cell, these four walls, you can’t do nothing but hone in on these skills that you don’t even know if you will be able to use. Like that’s like being buried alive. 

But the people around you don’t even understand they alive. They just know that they buried, so they gonna kick, they gonna scream, they gonna panic. You got to make sure that you keep calm and know that you alive and be grateful for that. But we’re definitely buried alive, man. 

It’s like this place during Corona season, its a whole different world. They scaring these people, these people thinking they gonna die, in the joint you know. They see one case, two case, three case, they think we gon’ die. No such thing as social distancing in here. It’s not gonna happen. It’s not possible. There’s four hundred people in this one unit, no air circulation in this building at all. These people is panicking, but you just got to stay calm. That’s what I think about when I think about buried alive. 

It’s just that I know that I’m alive and I’m grateful for it. Ain’t never had to let anybody know who going through this little pandemic and was worried, just know that you alive and just be grateful for that. Don’t be scared of death. Death is the only thing that’s promised to you, just got to embrace whatever come, just embrace destiny. You know, whatever was rigged for you accept that.  

But this moment right here is called the cave moment. You know, you go in the cave, you come out better. You know it’s pushing to isolate yourself. So if you do have to isolate yourself, you have to come out way better. There’s no prophet that went into the cave and came out the same. They came out better. Now that’s just what I think about when I think about buried alive man. I just want y’all know to stay striving man, stay up man. I’m grateful. So grateful. I’m Thankful.
