Transcript
00:00 First of all, I want to say thank you to everybody that's prayed, man, and sent me messages.
00:07 I cannot even begin to tell you how far it took me and how it brought me back.
00:15 I went through something that I thought I would never, ever go through.
00:23 I know a lot of people were waiting or wanting to hear updates, but to be honest with you, I just didn't want you to see me like that, man.
00:32 I want you to see me laughing, having a good time, partying, cracking a joke, doing a movie, television show.
00:38 I didn't want you to see me with tubes running out at me and trying to figure out if I was going to make it through.
00:55 And to be honest with you, my sister, Deidre Dixon, my daughter, Corinne Marie, saved my life.
01:01 So to them, to God, to a lot of great medical people, I'm able to leave you this video.
01:13 I cannot tell you how great it feels to have your family kick in in such a way.
01:17 And you all know they kept it airtight. They didn't let nothing out. They protected me.
01:22 And that's what I hope that everyone could have in moments like these.
01:28 Now, you know, by being quiet, sometimes things, you know, get out of hand.
01:33 People say what I got. Some people said I was I was blind.
01:36 But as you can see, as you can see, the eyes are working.
01:40 I was working just fine. I said I was paralyzed. I'm not paralyzed.
01:46 But I did go through. I went to hell and back. And my road to recovery had some potholes as well.
01:53 But I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm coming back and I'm able to work.
02:00 So I want to thank the people that let me work.
02:04 And I just want to, like, say that I that I love everybody and I love.
02:10 All the love that I got. And, man, you know, I know they talk about people crying on videos.
02:18 You know, you could do take two, but I'm not going to do a take two.
02:21 This is what it is. And if you see me out from now on and every once in a while, I just burst into tears.
02:29 It's because it's been tough, man. I was sick, man.
02:34 But now I've got my legs under me. So you're going to see me out.
02:39 But like I said, I just want you to remember me for the jokes that I crack, the movies that I make.
02:47 Some of them good. Some of them ain't. I think I got a good one out.
02:52 And the songs that I sing, man. And then, you know, somebody was talking about I'm clone.
02:57 Well, check this out. Just kidding.
03:02 Not clone, man, but I'm here on Earth because of some great people. I'm here on Earth because of God, man.
03:07 So I love all y'all. I just want to jump on here and let you know that I'm on my way back.
