Sep 23, 2014, 7:56 AM | Updated: 8:02 am

Very few people have been able to convince Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch to sit down for an interview, but our friends over at The Barbershop got an exclusive.

Lynch spoke to Barbershop hosts Terry Hollimon, Gee Scott and Marcus Trufant on their live show on 710 ESPN Seattle Monday.

During the 10-minute interview, Lynch was candid, unfiltered and funny. He talked about the motivation behind his charity work as well as his demeanor on gameday, and he finished by taking part in a game called “Yessir or Naw.”
