in shape, right,

Because you never

You ought to swim or something.

I can't swim, myself, you know.

My kids swim their ass off.

We got a pool, I can't swim.

I'm in the shallow part,

I'll be pitching a b*tch

Don't nobody push me, jack.

One time I was playing

with my kids

And forgot what I was doing,

And f***ed around

and jumped off in the deep end.

And that water bring

your memory back... like that.

I didn't even get a chance

to get mother.

And my mind,

When you think you're drowning

in the pool,

Your mind say,

Get your ass to the edge!

And I was swimming my ass off

in one spot.

I was going no place.

And my kids

was watching me, right.

And my kids think

everything I do is funny.

They were saying,

Look at daddy

drowning, ha ha ha!

Daddy, you're so funny!

Say, kick your legs, daddy,

I'm saying,

If you don't help me out

of this mother f***er.

And my kids get away with sh*t

I never could get away with,

Because I can't bring myself

like just to beat them up,

You know, like being

parent.

You know, that kind

of standard parent sh*t

Like my family did.

Because I don't want

to f*** my kids up

Like Im f***ed up.

So I just talk to them,

you know,

I'll say get the f***

out of my face.

You know, just leave me

the f*** alone,

I don't want to hear this sh*t.

You know don't respect yourself,

I know you don't respect me,

Now f*** you.

About an hour later

they come to my room, though.

I'm sorry.

I f***ed up.

I say, that's right,

and don't do it no more,

Cause I don't want

to have to get on your ass.

Oh, daddy, it's okay.

My kids, boy,

when they lie though,

That's the thing

that I love the most,

When they be trying

to tell them lies

And you know

Richard Pryor

Richard Franklin Lennox Thomas Pryor (December 1, 1940 – December 10, 2005) was an American stand-up comedian, actor, and social critic. Pryor was known for uncompromising examinations of racism and topical contemporary issues, which employed vulgarities and profanity, as well as racial epithets. He reached a broad audience with his trenchant observations and storytelling style, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential stand-up comedians of all time. Pryor's body of work includes the concert movies and recordings: Richard Pryor: Live & Smokin' (1971), That Nigger's Crazy (1974), ...Is It Something I Said? (1975), Bicentennial Nigger (1976), Richard Pryor: Live in Concert (1979), Richard Pryor: Live on the Sunset Strip (1982), and Richard Pryor: Here and Now (1983). As an actor, he starred mainly in comedies such as Silver Streak (1976), but occasionally in dramas, such as Paul Schrader's Blue Collar (1978), or action films, such as Superman III (1983). He collaborated on many projects with actor Gene Wilder. Another frequent collaborator was actor/comedian/writer Paul Mooney. Pryor won an Emmy Award (1973) and five Grammy Awards (1974, 1975, 1976, 1981, and 1982). In 1974, he also won two American Academy of Humor awards and the Writers Guild of America Award. The first-ever Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for American Humor was presented to him in 1998. He was listed at number one on Comedy Central's list of all-time greatest stand-up comedians. In 2017, Rolling Stone ranked him first on its list of the 50 best stand-up comics of all time. more…
