Damn, what's up, bro? You know, I ain't never want to, you know, I ain't want to be in. I ain't never want that to happen. I ain't want to, you know, like they always say, uh, no, never meet your idols and all that shit. Because, you know, who they are when you, you know, when you watch them are paying attention to them, man, who they really are.

I'm like, man, that ain't, that ain't the space I want to be in. Because in real time, you know, my music started popping, but I was still in the trap. Man, you know, I ain't got all the chains and all the fancy cars and shit. So, you know, when you see me out or whatever, you don't immediately think I fell off because you don't see all the 90 chains I had on in the last fucking seven interviews you saw me in the shit. And, you know, like I said, this shit just, man, it's just, it's wonderful to see that I can reap the benefits of being myself. I ain't really had to, you know. And in this, you know, shit, I'm 38.

I'm my own boss. I've been my own boss for so long. Like, it'd be certain shit. I got to say, you know, I had to tell myself. Like, you know, we're good, we're comfortable, but we don't want to be comfortable. You get comfortable. You know, that's when you start losing everything.

So, you know, we always stay at it. And just like shit this year, man, I've been running. I was like, fuck it. I ain't got no rules. I'm got no plan. You know, at least not in that aspect. You know, of course, I got goals. I set goals and shit.

But for the most part, man, I ain't sit and try to make it be a lot. For a long time, it held me up trying to make sure shit was perfect. That shit don't ever happen, man. You know, you be trying to get that shit to get situated and fucking won't have a baby. And that shit, that shit, for real shit, that shit pauses everything. You know, you be like, man, I had set up two tools for 2021. And COVID hit.

COVID was like, fuck what you're talking about. Shit, man, I'm stuck in the house. You know, I'll be in the house anyway. But, you know, that was a time where, you know, I took my time. I'm going to wait until we got everything situated, everything lined up. And then, you know, wake up and they like, shit, it's a curfew. Everybody got masks on now. You can't even gather and shit.

They hit me with that. We lost a lot of money doing that. But that was my point, though. You know, you can't really, you can't wait for the perfect moment because ain't no perfect moment. You just got to strike. You know, do what you're doing and figure it out along the way. Because experience the best teacher no matter what. I'm sure, you know, when y'all start doing it,

this shit. Y'all ain't say, well, let's wait until we got the $40,000 cameras before we started. No, niggas said, well, look, you know, we got this, let's go get this and borrow that or rent this and rent that. Then, you know, eventually that shit got you in the space where you're at. I seen y'all niggas doing drops earlier. That shit, the way y'all do that shit, that shit was effortless. I first started doing that shit, that shit went effort. I know it wasn't. I hate, I still hate doing drops. Y'all like tag teamed them shit. They got to be like, that's constant at the, what the phyllum, huh?

All right, brother. Let's say that shit again, or who the what? Like, y'all did that shit. Like, you know, that show you the experience is the best teacher. No matter what, you can go and practice that shit all day until you start running that shit. Like, trying to, you know, trying to learn how I ride a bike sitting in the house.

It ain't never going to happen. You got, you're an expert in the house. You take your ass outside, get on that bike. And, you know, when you get to paddling and you ain't playing for no rock or no fucking or that goddamn dog that's down, you know, two houses down. Right, now your ass got a pedal for real. Right.

Shit get real then. Right. But, you know, I feel like that's, you know, that's how, that's how I function best. Instead of just sitting trying to figure that shit out to be, you know, trying to come up with a grand plan and all that shit. We just do that shit as we go on. Just jump in to do it. Right. Like, shit, this time we call, man, I'm like, shit, let's do it.

Fuck trying to line it up, set it up, nene. I'm with it. Let's work it out. How you change from... from, you said you should be a perfectionist, and I know you said the kids had something to do with it. Yeah. But is that, was that the key really,

that clicked you over and they're like, fuck it, I just got to do this shit, I can't keep on the thing. Because like, with my first two kids, I thought I had to figure it out. And then third child, wasn't unlike them two. You know, the first two weren't like, one, you know, it wasn't like copy and paste. Yeah.

But, you know, it's just two of them. You can kind of adjust to it. Mm-hmm. And then my third child was a complete, like, it was a curveball. Like, my third child came, well, premature. She came, like, too much too soon. We had tubes and shit. Doctor said she wasn't going to make it.

And shit, she's 11 now. So, you know, that was a blessing itself. But that's what I'm saying. So with that, you know, I wanted, you know, before then, my idea of having a baby was just, you know, woman push your baby out. my first two kids my baby mom had to have a C-section both times

that was you know that was a whole kind of the second time I felt like I'm used to it now I get it I'm familiar with this and you know

third child come out prematurely couldn't expect it that there wasn't nothing I could have done to prepare me for that and being real

I ain't handled that like I should have handled it but that I'm saying that's what you know I looked at that I know I didn't handle that right So, and it because I was scared.

I was fucking, I was super frightened. They told my child I'm going to die. I'm like, you know, the last thing I want to do is be there when my child died. And in real time, my baby mama was there every day. And that's where I was supposed to be. I was supposed to be her support. I want to pose to just, you know, I'm so scared for my damn self. Fast forward, I ain't with her.

But still, you know, I learned a lot from that. And, you know, to see my daughter now. And she, you know, she is completely like, man, everything I thought I knew about parenting or kids all that shit went out of the door like my daughter

like I like you know I grew up Jordan was the shit Jordan's like gold when my mom couldn't afford that shit so I just got to watch other niggas wear them shit so when I got

you know old enough and you know when we was out in the street my money went to Jordan's I ain't wore nothing else since fucking probably like 22 since I was 22 to right now. I don't own nothing that ain't an

earth joy. But it means something to me. It's symbolic to me. They're symbolic to me. But you see, I don't play sports either. I ain't want to stop there on your important message. Boy, a receiver, no, sir. Not at all.

I was selling, I was good at the other stuff. Yeah, I understand. You know what you're doing? You don't have a basketball right there. Keep that. Got no nothing about me a hundred ball. I want to talk in that shit, yeah. But, you know, I play defense.

We're going to play sports, you know, but we're playing sports. Either way, you know, my kids, as they got older, you know, I'm thinking, you know, I'm going to buy my kids' joints, you know, that's the shit. Man, I went in the store, and the time, they still do it now. Like, you know, first they start with them schedules and shit. The shoes light up. And, you know, they were so determined. I'm like, no, I'm not buying that shit.

And I buy them joy. Now I ain't like them. They want to, you know, when they get to dress themselves, they want to put them shoes on. Right. I'm going to say, go put your shoes on. They're going to come downstairs with the, with the crooks. Now they'll just light up. They're going to stop lighting up.

So, you know, I spent whatever we spent on buying all the kids' joys for no fucking reason. And at some point, you know, I had to grasp it and get it, you know, in real time I'm doing this not so they experience everything I experienced, but so they get the experience the shit I didn't get the experience. And sometimes I have to keep that in mind Like when I be buying outrageous shit Like my, I got a 12 year old daughter Say she wanted to, for her birthday She want me to buy a power wheel

And put a real motor in it That ain't in the way in hell By two years ago I would have failed for that dumb shit I'm like, no, no, we ain't going there You need a bicycle A big bicycle I get to the scooter Right

Man no we ain't going to She's talking about a fucking power wheel With a real motor Some shit she's sitting on TikTok And that's another thing Yeah, she's trying to pick corners and do some driving. Yeah, she's doing some real shit. We ain't doing all that.

Basically, yeah. But that what I'm saying? But they put, like, they upgrade the battery on this shit. They started that morpour going five mile by hour. It goes 50. See, we ain't doing all that. What did you got, like, one of them hardware batteries in that bad part? Yeah, from a power drill.

Yeah, see, I'm scattered that kind of. But that one I'm saying, like, that shit I couldn't have prepared for. I thought I had it figured out. And, you know, just even that. With this TikTok shit, like, you know, we ain't grow with no motherfucking. We ain't grow without, you know, our internet did the, you know, the, e-home, et-on. We ain't, you know, we didn't have a, right. And if my mom would get on the phone, it's over.

Everything is it, it's there. You know, all that shit for the- Oh, well, all that shit. Exactly. Now they got that shit on everything. My daughter got in trouble. I took her iPad, took a phone. She found a fucking iPod I bought fucking 12 years ago. And put that same game.

Put your TikTok shit on the iPod. I'm like, well. Wow. You know, them shit is obsolete. They don't even make software for that shit no more. No. Just Jovi, you smart as hell, though. And sneaky as hell.

But that's what I'm saying. You know, back to July you were saying, that was the, you know, that was my turning point. That let me know I ain't got this shit figured out. And I ain't never going to have it all the way figured out. So, you know, I just got to take what I do know and dive on out there. Just like, you know, like you said, you learn how to swim. You ain't sit there and read no book. I don't know.

Okay. So I do my own. Like, this? He got a teacher. Right. I'm saying, but you had to go out there and do that shit. You got to get active. You know, I just took the same approach.

At some point, I just said, fuck it, man. I can't sit and study this shit all day. I got to go out here and do it. And shit kept changing. So take a back. Like, I want to know the Don trip. Know the kid. How did you pick up a pen and go crazy?

Man, I've been rap since I was 11. You got, I don't, my time lines. always going to be horrible. But when I seen Chris Cross on TV, like, that did it. Man, you couldn't have made me want to be nothing else. I ain't want to be no basketball player, no doctor, no physician, nothing.

I wanted to rap. I wanted to rap right then. The kids can do this shit? Of course, shit that happened then. But, you know, I was writing rap to the 11 thing and I was going to be the next, you know, I thought I was going to be Bow Wow before Bow Wow popped off. And then, you know, as time progressed,

I saw more and more children doing it and fast forward to now you see a lot of the kids' stars went fucking whack so it was a whole, you know their whole lives is upside down now either way

now I watched kids doing it and I looked at that shit like shit I can do it so shit I beg with mama my Christmas my Christmas list changed they went from like Nintendo's and shit

to Fisher Price karaoke machines and shit and shit from that I just I just kept at it, and, you know, my verses at 11 was hard. My verses at 16 was hard, but I was lying my ass off at 16. I had Lamborghinis and everything in the verses, boy. Man, all that shit, I had lembos, Bugatti, and all kinds of shit in my verse.

Yeah, oh, yeah, yeah. Well, you know, again, it's the only way you learn, experience. But, man, at some point, I got older and lifestyle happening. I think the kids is what kind of, the kids is what gay. me my my image so to speak that's what showed me you know because it went from it went from me I you know I used to rap like like Cassidy just all punch lines I ain't got to really correlate with the line before or after it but here's a punchline when I get through this one I got another punch line and like said life start happening and

rap became like you know what shit y'all black men so you know you don't get to real event. Or you just said, said, and go, I don't complain. So the microphone became that. I went, you know, it used to be, like, rap. And it'd be fun to shit, you know, I feel like crying right now. I'm trying to holding in.

And, you know, words is coming to us. So, shit, we write. That's how we wound up with letter to my son in real time. That shit just, you know, that shit took over. Right. Not only on that song. Like, there's a lot of rappers where you feel. Right, that's what I'm saying.

I was already in that space. It just so happened that letter to, So my son wound up being a record that was, that was, you know, that so many people could relate to. And that was another turning point. I'm like, you know, when I got to that space, I was, you know, like I said, I'm still trying to make the music that make people jump up and down. And that shit caught.

And, you know, I was trying to figure out how, because it was like the worst moment in my life. And I'm like, you know, how is it that this is what grabbed people? And, you know, sooner or later I realized it just was the honesty. and you listen to me. You know, it's a lot of, like, I think, I think all of the, the different flavors

and music belong, because I think you need everything. I need, I mean, I think, you feel like partying and shit, you don't want to listen to me because I ain't no party, nigga. You definitely no party. Right, so you want to listen to, you know,

the shit that get you that energy and shit, I want to party. When you get through party and you realize you spend way too much fucking money in the club, now my music makes sense to you. Right. But that's what I'm saying.

I feel like all of that shit be needed. It's like, you know, O'Hill used to tell me, it takes all walks of life to make the world go around. It wasn't too many getting money,

hustler, everyday dude in the neighborhood with problems. That's why I said your music was motivational. And it was hard, and it was heartfelt,

but it was like, oh, he's talking about something. I didn't listen to the part of shit because I was sacking up. Right. You ain't feel like a problem. I don't want to hear that. Yeah, brother.

I'm listening to a motherfucker who really got something going on. I'm like, oh, this nigger is fire. Listen, I had to scale in the booth. You know, all of the YouTube videos where you can see the upper part of me. Yes. Would you see me fundling shit right here? Yeah, I was working while I was working on my craft. Yeah.

Because in real, I had to pay bills, man. That shit had to get done. And I ain't never, I ain't no, I ain't really social. Like, you know, I don't really like hanging with niggas. I ain't into... You're talking in your news. You said. That what I'm saying.

So, you know, part of the partying didn't never entice me. I went into it. I didn't really want to do it. And I'm naturally paranoid. Like, we'd be somewhere when a crowd, you know, we're in a fucking in a club and shit.

You know, there's a bunch of niggas in here. I'm like, shit. I don't know what none of these niggas is on. So I'm like this the whole time. By the time we get, I'm tired, my neck been swivel in the home fucking. I'm ready to go. And, you know, that,

you know, we want, for it. Right. I'm not only paying attention. Everybody else's high and drunk. Niggas stepping on your feet. Nick get mad at you because he stepped on your feet. Damn, bro. My bad head, bro. Damn, bro.

But, you know, nigga, you stepped on me. You fucking batted me, fuck. But, you know, like, I ain't never, like, I ain't never enjoyed that environment. So I just was like, man, fucking, I'm gonna get my money and take care of what I got to take care of, and all the other shit, man. Y'all can keep that shit.

Then a lot of people around me started dying, and the places they was dying in was places that I was. was invited to, I just didn't go to. Like, you know, my homeboy got killed. They were shooting dice. My brother was out there shooting dice. You know, I just wanted to hang with my brother. At some point, the shit he liked to

do just ain't what I like to do. I can't do it. Like, I don't smoke and a drink. That shit don't work for me. And I'm a firm believer that everything ain't for everybody. So, you know, I treated all that shit the same way. I was selling dope, but nobody knew it. Like, I was on some... I don't know you, nigg. I ain't serving you nothing. I tell you.

I don't know you, Nick. I'm not serving you shit. I was banging up a zone. I'm still I ain't serving you shit I don't know you I serve him I know him if he fuck with you that's on y'all but I ain't you come to me I don't know what you're talking about

I don't got nothing I'm cool we ain't rocking but you know from there I spent so much time to myself that you know the shit it was easier to it was easier to make the kind of music I wanted to make I ain't got one nobody in the

I turned my bedroom into a studio all the videos people think I'm in the closet And in real time, I turn my bedroom into the studio. But all them nights, I mean, they're by myself. I can say whatever. Like, it's a, I did like a freestyle of Maxwell, Pretty Wings. If you watch this shit, I'm on that bitch singing and everything. I can't say worse shit.

But I'm enjoying my, ain't nobody present to laugh at it. Ain't nobody there to say, man, you shouldn't have said that or you went too far. No, I can do what the fuck I want to do. And then, you know, as I, as my career flourished, I just kept that same philosophy. Like, you know, the way I rock, it's all essential personnel only. If we're in the studio and you don't got nothing to do with this,

go home. We can hang out some other time, some other place. I'm at work, though. Even if we're just sitting here and listening to beats, I'm at work. And I don't come to your job and chill with you. Because only one of us is making money. I ain't in real time, man.

I don't need you present. I don't need you, you know. When you do that, then you wind up with 50 niggas in here. It ain't got nothing to do with nothing. You wind up in other niggas shit because that nigger, no, that nigger, and that nigger. I don't know that one of these nigs. I ain't never liked none of that.

So I always kept the environment closed. Like, you know, if we're in the studio, most times, it's just me and the engineer. Or, you know, me, the engineering and producer. Now, you know, I'm kind of, I'm trying to... Work with others. Yeah, definitely. Right.

But... That's how you got to see Pete. He'd been there. Indeed, but that's what I'm saying. Like, now I'm trying to do, to do like, he definitely was the bootlegger. You were the booted? No, he would.

Oh, okay, okay. The big book. Yeah, back when them CDs was jumping. Oh, going crazy. Man, even then, but when CDs was jumping, I was booming CDs. I wasn't, my shit just wasn't nobody else's shit. I had learned how to take a nigga to beat. Like, you leave one bar open.

I'm going to loop the shit out of this shit. It's going to be mine. So I'll make my whole tape off of your shit. you put a tape out, I got your tape too. It got the whole shit. I'm on every song you want. Then I got clever enough of this shit. I started leaving people with verses on it.

So, you know, shit, it's for the camera. Right, it's the Camerun song. Oh, it's the camera on feature, I'm tripling, shit. So when I see it now, I'd be seeing people do it now. I don't, you know, I don't really trip about it. It's just be funny to me because I'm like, you know, okay. It's more technology to do that shit now. Because I had to work to pull that shit off, boy

I didn't know. So how did you start, Lido? Man, I met Lido. I was on the road with, I was on the road with Gotti. And he stopped in Nashville. And like I said, I don't want to sit with you while you making money. So I can't remember what it was he was doing.

But he was doing his job. I don't want to, like, you know, just be chilling with you while he's doing that. So, you know, we're trying to bounce out and go through other shit. And Lido called Zez-Zilla. He had a guy with him. that wanted to buy a verse from Z.

So, you know, I'm just riding. I just don't want to be, you know, in the mix with this. I'm like, shit, that's perfect. You know, I get to meet Starr. So you pull up, you know, I meet Starr. It was a house full of things, too. That Me Starr, I mean, it's because a few of the people that I met, like, we're still tight to this day.

Like, you know, Star cousins, like family to me. He was at my wedding, my baby's shower, all that kind of shit. But either way, you know, I meet, you know, I meet at a first time meeting. I holl at them, you know, then I get out of the way. They can handle it Right And while I'm chilling

I'm in the living room And shit They're playing I want to say like college football They're too serious With this I played the game too

That was far too serious I don't know No players I don't watch sports I can play it on the game But other than that You know Man these knew

All kinds of shit They knew When the ball They knew far too much shit I'm just sitting in an observer And his cousin Come back down He's like you know

Brugai bro in the highlandsh, so I go up there and he didn't talk the nigga that was getting the verse from Zaid and they're getting the verse from me and for me that would you know, that said something in itself because, you know, one, he's complete stranger

and two, ain't no nigga gonna help you get some money. Dang, you know, that's fucking upstairs. That's unheard of. So when he did that, you know, I'm like, I, you know, I appreciate that to the utmost. Right.

Then we're on the road, so I can't, you know, I can't sell dope on the road. So I needed that bridge I appreciated it So after that I want to say I want to say like shortly after this session Starhead turned some shit on

And I dropped a verse And There one verse turned into like We probably have three or four more sessions After that And each time Like we never had no real plan

To like dual stepbrothers take The shit just was working And shit you know It was organic And for you know We got four five songs and a day so fuck it shit let's go for it why not

and at that moment I was signed I was signed the Interscope with Cool and Dre it was like a it was a joint venture and in most case you know in the music business

you know you'd be signed you're signed to them and they signed to that I had worked at where you know I was a I ain't know enough but still I was a mutual partner in the shit so I had to say

which also is the reason why the shit didn't work because I get to say no you can't make me do it. And some of the shit I might have been unreasonable, or unreasonable about, I couldn't tell you what I was unreasonable about. But I'm just a firm person. Some shit I just can't do. And if I ain't going to do it, I ain't going to do it. Because I got to, you know, I got to live with that shit. It was certain shit they wanted me to do that I would have had to explain to my

kids now. They go pull these videos up. Dad, why you like a goofball? Well, because somebody said I had to do that to get some money. Right. Right. That what I'm saying? You know, I couldn't sit with But either way, you know, the label, Koolandre was so very against it. It was like, man, you know, this ain't a good look. We don't need to do it. They was, for whatever reasons they had, they never really gave reasons. But I'm one of them kind of people. Like I said, if the same way, I ain't going to do it if I don't want to do it.

I'm going to do it if I want to do it. So we did it. And then it hit. And then, you know, same niggies. They was like, no, it's a bad look, man. It's a bad. Look was like, yeah, man, we was telling them, man. It was great.

This was the best idea. Man, we knew it was going to be wonderful. And then, you know, right. But at that same time, what was happening at me and Star was getting to know each other. And just like, you know, we were sitting here, we, you know, we don't dive right into shit. I didn't even know we was filming. You know, in the studio was the same thing. You know, me and Star sat and, you know, we had, shit, conversations first.

And then, you know, the music shit just fell into place. Like, you know, I don't know if we was filming or not when you were. talking about the um we're talking about the the records when we tell stories together like a lot of times we don't like there's no real plan like I don't sit and say I'm gonna say this and this and then you say you're gonna say that we just go and same well I was saying you know sometimes you can't plan it just got let that shit go how to go so like for example like season and brutus yeah yeah I was just going man season and brutus we did uh that was one of the beats we have played a million times sometimes like the way I work the beat might be hard and I'm like

you know I might not feel feel it right now you can play that shit two days later it might be hard play two years from now it might be the hard shit I ever heard my life and it was one of them kind of beats and this particular time it came on I don't know if we had a conversation or what but the way start started the verse off like it could have it could have not been the story the way he the verse are. So when I heard, I'm like, I like the direction. Let's see what we go. And that's really how all our songs go. Whoever come up with something first, you go in and do your part and we don't know where this is going to go. You're going to go and do yours, and then I'm going to listen, okay, I like that. When I add mine, it's going to change, even if you had an idea where

you was about to go. You're going to say something else. No, what I'm about to do going to give you new ideas. Whatever direction you had changes because I just went in there with another, you know, I added something to it. And, man, that shit just, it just create beautiful music. And that's a formula, like, we don't we don't fuck with it. You know, we ain't trying to reinvent the wheel.

When we do, like, when we do features for each other on each other's tapes, then, you know, we feel free, you know, we email that shit, however, like, I can drop the song off by passing two towns and some shit. But when we're doing stepbrother's shit, it's all in person. No, we ain't phone and nothing in. We're going to sit down. It doesn't matter if we don't do one song or

12 songs tonight. It don't matter. We're going to do them shit in person right with each other. And we got the kind of relationship where a no don't turn into fallout. We can play this record. I like this record. I got some for this record. He don't really like this record. That's fine. One, I'm not going to finish this record right here because we're on our time. I got enough respect for our situation. You're saying, you know, it's vice versa. That's how we work. So I know we're going to put this record to the side. Come up with a move.

Right. Let's do something, you know, until we get where we're going. And then sometimes we'll do that and what happened, you know, you turn around and play that record again. Right. Some spark then. And if it don't, then, you know, it's a solo record. If it do, then

shit, it did what it was supposed to do. But the fact that, you know, with a lot in a lot of spaces, man, if I say my own, I ain't really I don't really fuck with that. You know, a nigga gonna feel some kind of way. Damn, you know, what a nigga trying to say? In real time...

You got respect for your artist. Right, yeah. Clearly, if you don't understand what we're going with it. And we never had... Like, we didn't have to sit down to have a conversation to reach that understanding. It was already dead. Right, exactly.

I don't got to like everything you do. You don't got to like everything I do. That's, you know, as me and that shit just was already understood. And since it was already understood, it made the creative process flows. So, man, I don't even know how to explain that shit just happened.

and it's going to take longer to develop. I think so. Because while I was being signed, I was getting out of a record deal. So we both was kind of, you know, living vicariously through each other. You know, I'm starting a situation. He's getting out

of a situation. I got the headaches of, you know, trying to figure the situation out. He got the headaches of trying to get out of the situation. You know, trying to get out of contract is the toughest shit in the world. So, you know, while we both was going to do all that. On top of that,

you know, I had children. So all that shit, collectively, I think that shit kind of just, it should just chose my path for me. When I started releasing studio albums, I said with my guys,

and I'm like, man, I'm changing my whole shit. Before I, my first official album is Godspeed. Before I started on Godspeed, I had a record called, called Lawyer. It's on one of the,

I don't know what the, Yeah, it's something. I don't know what tape is on. My, my shit ain't, my memory ain't shit. But either way, man, we was doing shows. We're doing shows in nightclothes. You know, everybody here got, not the people with me. Everybody's got guns. This guns present. Like, these kind of environments. And niggas is yelling out. Do lawyer. I'm like, lawyer. Do lawyer. All the shit, do lawyer. I'm like, you know, hook ain't nothing bouncing in that. But people, like, everywhere we was going, people were screaming that. And I'm like, you know, that don't even make sense to me. So I sat down and, you know, I had to, like, watch the video and, like, I'm trying to figure out how is it that this is the record.

There's a lot of motherfuckers. But that's what I got it from. I'm like, okay, I offer an honesty that most people either, one, they got the courage to admit or two, just, you know, don't even really know. It's easy to just, you know, say trap-nigger, trap-nigger, a Lomagena, even if I ain't a trap-nigger or got a Lamborghini, you wouldn't know all the shit's all you're hearing it. You know, like how it used to be when we was younger, we didn't see the radio personalities. We just heard them. So, you know, when I sat and I watched the video

and, you know, I started connecting the dots. I'm like, you know, that's what it is. That's what's mine. All the other shit in real time for me right then was just fillers. So I'm like, no, the shit they grabbed, the shit that last, the shit that, you know, people be talking about right now. It's just fucking, I don't know, probably about 12, 13 years later.

And people were talking about lawyer. You were talking about letter to my son. That shit, 14 years old. That's one of them. They don't never get dated, though. But that's what I'm saying. But it don't because it's the truth. And, you know, even though when we're going to do shit,

it feels like you're going through shit by yourself. You are, in that sense. But I ain't shit new under the sun. I'm going through some shit you probably already been through. And vice versa, you're probably going through some shit I've already been through. And I just happen to be the guy that don't mind saying it. And I don't care how, you know, I don't care how it come out. You can listen and say, oh, man, that was crazy you did that.

Some of that shit is crazy. Some of that shit was stupid. Some of that shit was the smartest shit I ever done. But I'm going to get you all that shit because I've done it. It is what it is. It was like, from the beginning to the end. It was like, I wanted your son to hear that. Yeah, and I knew it.

I was like, when he hit this, he don't hit daddy love him. And then, you know, he got old enough to hear. And when I recorded it, that's how I was thinking. I was thinking, like, you know, when he hears he's going to know, I fall two for nil. And then what I wasn't prepared for, like I was saying earlier, you know, you can't, this shit, you can't really plan for it. Right. What I wasn't prepared for is for him to feel, he felt kind of, you know, he didn't really know how to feel about it. It was great that his daddy stood, you know, stood tall for him.

But at the same token, this person that his daddy don't care for, it's my mama. I love this woman. And he called her bitch 672 times. So, you know, it was a divide. You know, he's proud of it and discussed about it at the same time. So I had to sit and have a real conversation. And, you know, I learned something from that. One, I learned, you know, if I'm going to, if what I have to say is going to be derogatory,

then I can do it without slander. I don't got to call you out your name. That was the biggest thing for them. It wasn't, you know, nothing I said was fictitious. But that part of it was excessive. Right. That was, no, that was me being disrespectful. And, you know, I learned, he taught me something.

So from that, you know, I had to, like, sit down and have, you know, a man-to-man with a preteen. And, you know, that put the son in a different light to me. Because I'm like, you know, I ain't look at it like that. I was angry. And, you know, the last thing I was thinking was my son's going to hear it and fill away about his mama. Right. And, you know, so when he did, like I said, that, that showed me something. And that was one of the moments where, you know, I could be a proud father

because I'm not trying to teach my kids to be vocal. You know, if it bothered you, you know, you got to see it. You know, if your feelings hurt, there ain't a way I'm going to know. I can't feel your feelings. And I grew up in a house where if your feelings hurt, you're a pussy, you're a bitch, you're a wimp. So, you know, I wanted to make sure that that was one of them things I didn't carry on. Like, you know, yeah, they, you know, the kids. And for the most part, you make, you know, the, the, you know, the,

the best decisions for them, but in real time, it's still people. And, you know, I learned all that from a song that, you know, a song that potentially got me, you know, in the spotlight. She still would be true. No, we got the best relationship in the world now. Well, that's the best relationship in the world. Right.

Not for nothing. Yeah, it was a long road. But, you know, like now, that's a record I don't perform. I don't, you know, I don't right around listening to. I don't much do, you know, I don't much talk about interviews out of the respect

for him. Because, you know, in real time, made a record that spoke for me in the situation I was in. But I could never see it from his point of view. And now that I know how he feel about it, then, you know, I try not to...

He can understand that, you know, this is my livelihood. And it is what it is. I can't erase it. You know, it's, shit, it's sketched and stone now. So you understand that. I just do what I, I, I just make sure that I don't revert and rub, right. I ain't trying to rub that in.

It is what it is, it is done. You know, like if I stepped again, when I stepped on your foot, yeah, I've done it. I ain't going to stand here and keep your head. I skipped you a real good. I ain't a need for all of that. So that's how I look at it when it comes to their record. But those are the records that, you know, they got me. Right, you know, at some point I had to sit down and see what work and what don't work.

And in the music business, everybody's got a gimmick, and I ain't got no gimmick. I don't, you know, I don't know how to do all that funny shit. And from that, you know what I'm sitting, I'm trying to figure it out. And that's when it snapped. I'm like, my gimmick is that I can rap. Rap itself is already a gimmick. I don't need another gimmick. Right.

So that's what I did. I said, shit, let me show you what I can do. And shit, that shit works. I'm not your shit, OG. I know you got some neat. Can you drop a new shit ever ever? I don't got no new music. Dad-ass, listen.

January 1st, 2023, we sat in the studio. I said, man, I ain't, again, like I said, I used to spend time trying to make it perfect. I, back when rappers was putting out one album a year, that probably could have worked. But they don't do that no more. The internet is eating up fucking 72 songs

every time you look up. Like right now, some niggas putting out 20 songs. In 10 minutes, somebody else is going to put out 20 more. Right. So I'm like, man, you know, we're doing all that, you know, I don't focus on, like, streaming numbers and shit. See?

I pay football. Right. I was doing that. I was just that little good. Big balls. No. I don't want to fuck with no baseball. I can't see good enough for that.

I got hit in the face with that motherfucker. For real? I can't see a little ass ball all the way back there somewhere, man. Hell, no. You think it's a son. Son, pop, I ain't seen the damn thing. But no,

then you did rap. Right. Well, either way, you know, man, I was set, and we, you know, we start on a tape. And the way I used to record, I used to record at minimum,

30 songs, and then pick 15 out of the 30 songs. I felt like if I had 15 songs that I loved that I had to push aside, then I got a quality project. And then like I said Nick music was coming from everywhere At all times

I'm like man don't really make much sense for me To be sitting and waiting I'm trying to craft this perfect project I ain't on a fucking label I can do what I want to do So I was like fuck it Let me do what I want to do And what happens when you

You know, I record so much music Put a tape out in September And by January Everything that didn't make it That shit old to me It's brand new to you But it's old the shit to me I don't feel it

Like it's almost I'm almost self-conscious. I don't want to release this. It feels dated. Even if it's not dated in real time. So, you know, this January, we sat down. I'm like, man, fuck that. I ain't, you know, I got, you know, archive shit. I'm like, no, we're going to hold a new clean slate. The way I'm about to start doing this shit, I'm going to record. And whenever it's time, like, we got to turn something in, whatever we got. That's what we turn it in. Man, I sat with a distributor, and they liked the idea

so shit I was like fuck it we're gonna run it and I ain't I ain't got no like I ain't got no set playing on set goal we go we go in

and whatever come out come out I used to excuse me I used to sit down and like I had the the rapper rule book

in my head like you know it used to be you got to have an eight bar hook or 16 bar verse three 16 bar verses you know

this song can't just come right in if the last song just came right in you can't put more than three features on your shit that kind of shit and then I realized I'm my own nigga following these rules I'm the only I'm the own nigga that even know these rules don't even exist to because I like I used to

I still fuck with Jay-Z just the newest shit the new shit don't resonate for me I don't know about like a billion dollars pains and shit I ain't got the slice I did what he'd be talking about now but when he when I did know what he was talking about Jay-Z was like one of the main people I was listening to so fast forward we get to whatever tape there was, and he did that Beach's Belt a song, I was appalled.

Beecher's Bell is like fucking 50-something seconds. So I'm like, wait, the nigga that taught me how to do it, just did a 50-second song? What is this? So after I, you know, realize I don't know this niggas, he don't owe me no explanation. I'm like, man, I'm following rules that nobody's following. The niggas that taught me these rules don't follow these rules.

So I'm like, man, it don't make no sense for me to go in here. And again, I'm trying to profiling. I'm trying to make it be like the greatest shit you ever heard. 300 bars. Right. I'm doing all this extra shit. Three, four verses. That what I'm saying?

We're going to do all that shit and, man, listen, I learned my lesson. We do all that shit. We play the song while we're on the road. And after my fucking first verse, nigga, it went to the next song. Niggina, I said on the second and third verse, and you just skip to the next song. It ain't your fault though. You're just listening. You know, especially if you're the driver.

If you're a driver, you just got a vibe. And we got to let the driver play where they're going to play. So after that, I'm like, man, we're making these long-ass records for who? For myself? I ain't getting this to make the music for myself. If I was going to do that, I could just play the shit to myself. So after that, man, I said, fuck the rules. I'm just going to go in this bitch.

And whatever comes out comes out. Like, you can listen to something that shit I dropped this year. Man, you're going to hear my, I got an eight-month-old son. You're going to hear him in the background. You don't hear the fucking, one of the records I was recording, I ain't even realized it until I was finished. But the baby monitor is beeping, because the battery is low, I ain't plug it in.

I don't give a shit. That's just there. That's my real life and real time. I listen to my boy Gucci Man. Gucci Man got a son. He said, moly, moly, moly, moly, moly, moony, moony, moot, bankroll. Nobody know what he say, but they know he say bankroll. I'm like, man, if you can, you know,

it's the vibe. They fuck with the vibe, all right. That means, you know, I'm doing a little too much and trying to make this shit perfect and ain't no need to do that. Man, you know, the shit that we end up liking to be the shit that's not perfect because it's not perfect.

So I sat down and said, fuck it. So right now, I don't got, I got one song right now. And, you know, I ain't in no here. We this shit come when it come. I might get in the studio tonight. I might not. You know, I might get into tomorrow. I might not.

If it happened, it doesn't, it don't. And shit, I've done eight tapes so far. So, you know. Right. It's going to do what it's supposed to do. But, you know, I think that's the hidden fruit of my label. Like, you know, I don't, that's something no people can't really see. And I ain't a flashy person.

So, you know, I don't wear my successes on me. And since I don't, like, you know, for a long time, people thought I fell off. People thought I was gone, you know, whatever they thought. And a lot of the times it's because I don't, like, I ain't like no barbershop advocate. I ain't, you know, man, I'd be feeling like you spend too much time doing all that shit you know, you care a little too much about it and, you know, without saying too much.

I think you care a little too much about it. So I'm like, man, you know, no, I ain't doing none of that. I'm going to go to the barber when I go. Man, my son go like every two weeks. So when I go to the Bible, my bill high shit because, you know, my, I don't... He'd be no ready to. Right. But either way, I don't know when they went.

Right. They know what's taking care of. But I'm just saying, you know, You know, when I go, I don't know when the last, right now I don't know when the last time I went. That shit, not important to me. I got my clippers in the cup. You need a little, you know, I charge $2,000.

Right, right. Right quick. Well, look, even if you wait, you know, from that kind of shit, people always assumed that, you know, that I was broke or I fell off. Like, you know, I always see it on the internet. And, you know, you broke, you know, you got to show your car.

You got to show you your way. watching all that shit. Like, I, you know, I'm good. I ain't, you know, I'm not comfortable. I ain't content, but I ain't hurting. And, you know, at some point, I ain't really let that. Yeah, I just said, fuck it, I'm gonna keep doing it. You know, it was a moment when, you know,

that one shit bothered me. And, you know, I felt like, you know, people don't really appreciate the artists that, you know, to stay true to who they really are. And then at some point, I just stopped giving the fuck. I'm like, man. I think that would gravitated me. to your music because like how old the dope boys used to look and you literally saying like

I'm probably so dope to you the nigger who claimed you to plug and I'm like oh this how they look this the nigga who really get money this is the last thing I want is to go to jail right in rapper world that's a cool point you know just a badge on your sleeve you went to jail the feds you're felon you know whatever none of that feels delightful to me I don't want to go. I don't want to go nowhere near it. So I always kept that in perspective. Say it again?

Poe hustling. Free rate, right. Right. I don't need nobody to know. Like I said earlier, you know, I ain't serving you from know you. We ain't getting into all that. But I always, my perspective or my philosophy was always don't sell nothing that I ain't comfortable during the time for.

So I ain't go, you know, I sold grass or so, you know, cost-series. Other than that, man, I went rocking. I sat and watched people with them, you know, they got the powder, they got the bread, then they got the feds. I'm like, nah, I don't know about that. Yeah, I don't be playing a different game. Yeah, see, and, you know, but I'm like, you know,

I've seen it. I see, you know, we grow up, you know, a nigga about 17, 18, and you don't see that nigga again to you 28. You're like, damn, where you've been? Man, I had caught that charge, and they got a whole ten. And she ain't even have enough power to be talking about,

but she had it. Now, you know, you turn it into the other thing. That's a whole not You did 10 years for another Nigger dope Yeah, buddy So, you know All that shit

Man, that was enough to scare me I ain't trying to, you know We ain't, we ain't rocking I ain't trying to go to jail No shape form of fashion So I went into nothing That shit

I was serving the niggas And you know You can go Shit, go pop the bottles And take the pictures And go ahead Have fun, Nick Do you, Nick

I'm standing How I'm close I'm closed I'm cool I'm cool Oh shit I've been an old nigga I'm gonna say that though

At the 7 o'clock Oh, no, he was, it went on them. I'm holding neck. Right. You know, man, you're from a world where a nigger get mad at you and want to kill you for not letting him cheat you. Yeah. Right. And the nigger want to cheat you.

So you fucked either way. Nigger won't play a dirty number how you're spending. And, you know, we hear it all the time, man, so-and-so wouldn't do that to me, and some-and-so wouldn't do that. Yeah. Shit, watch. Again, I know a homeboy who was in a wheelchair. wheelchair, paralyzed, and neck down, because his best friend shot him in the back.

They said everything. After that, I'm like, no, you know, you don't know what, you know, they say, uh, my guy was like, um, it's like, uh, uh, a guy said he would never want to harm his guy or some shit, you know, and my people was like, yeah, you know, nobody wants to hurt you until they want to hurt you.

You know, and he didn't wake up and say, you know, I got beef with you, something happened. And, you know, when they get to that, That's a whole other thing. So when it came to people, even if, you know, I can serve you, I'm ready for you to try to rob me, you know. And that was when the shit won't, I want to make it but $140. So when I really stopped making some money, oh, yeah, we got, you know, this nigga,

we got, I used to call him sleeper sales. When you think that nigga over there just chilling, he nodding off, nope, that nigga ready to pop you. Right. The nigga standing at the door that won't stop going in and out the door. He's ready to pop you. He's going in and out because he's trying to see who came with you. Right.

If you got a nigga down the hall and some shit, like we wind up my home at a cop-files. We wound up living in a hotel for like six months. Man, it was dope boy heaven. But it was regular nigga hell. Right. Every bit of, you know, as a kid, you know, the hotel is fascinated. I was regular nigga hell.

Like, you were married. And it was regular nigga hell. Look, they got the big windows of shit. I get to go to the front desk and give them any kind of reason. You know, like I said, we was a long-term, guess. So, you know, when I felt like my spot got a little too hot, I go and, hey, man, it's mold or something in the shop. They're going to be there. Another room, another flow, all that shit. So when you come back trying to shop, you got to hit us to find out where you're going

to. You ain't just going to walk to fucking 11, and we're there. No, we ain't there. We moved, and, you know, it was me, my brother, my sister, my mama, so we didn't, you know, we got a few rooms. Right. They might have rooms right across the hall from each other, might be right next throw to each other. And, my bad. And, you know, man, me and my brother, night and day. If you didn't sit with us and know we was brothers, you'll never know we was brothers.

That nigger was, like, complete wild card. And we weren't nothing in a lot. He's the loudest nigger in the room. But you assume that, you know, he's just a loud-ass nigger in the room. In real time, he's watching you, too. That's a nigga that keep walking in and out of the door. You think he's just a biz-ass-nigger.

In real time, he's trying to see who else coming down this hall. You came out of, you know, whatever car you got out of. We got to see. We got to see. We don't know that. Right. And, you know, even though, again, my brother was the complete opposite. He was the one that wanted, like, man, we made a move one day and made, I don't know how much we had.

But, you know, for us, it wasn't more than 10. But that nigger went into projects through that shit in the air. That, like, he was the complete opposite. Everybody got to know he was getting it. So, you know, either way. That's how I learned, but that's how I learned how to keep my shit tucked. Because growing up, that's how my brother was. Like, you know, we both was bad.

But it was shit he was doing that. Like, man, we was probably eight or nine. And we got caught. We used to shoplift, like, heavy shoplift. And my granddaddy taught me this. Bless his soul. My granddad was an addict my entire life. So he got every kind of way he can con you, every way possible.

So he used to tape his penis legs to his head. to his ankle. And while he in the store, he just dropped his shirt in his... Right. He was skinny and shit. So, you know, whatever, if he got on bag and shit, he gonna fill that shit out. You're never gonna know, he pills you for everything.

Either way, we dealt with some shit. We weren't supposed to learn at fucking 8 and 9. But we learned it. Man, no, it wasn't, we didn't even get that far yet. We just learned how to, you know, how to peel some shit. Right. You know, I see when people aren't paying, I looked right in your face.

I can get it. Man, my brother stole the, um, you know, this was back when Ticktas came in two flavors, the white ones and the orange ones, man, he stole them orange ones. We had just came in church or something, because we got on the church with the pocket on them. Man, mama's in the, in the checkout line, she just heard, ch-ch-ch-ch. I'm like, damn, he for to give us up, because this motherfuckers was rattling. Nick, I'm trying to rattling. So a mama turned around, she's like, what the fuck is that noise?

And, you know, we ain't shut. Right. I don't know. Man, she, you know, getting with kids, so we ain't completely figured out how to be sneaking. She's fucking tic-tac sticking out of his pocket.

She grabbed them shit. Oh, she pissed because, you know, we're shopping. Same way, you know, you would be if your kids are in that stealing. Right. Even if I ain't got no money, you're going to bash me like this.

Please. Man, we get home. I'm going to beat our ass, and I don't know what she was doing. Man, like 8 or 9, so I can't remember it all. But, man, shit. open our closet, and, you know, we were stealing, but, you know, my mama buy all our shit, so she knew exactly what you got.

Well, she knows what we didn't buy. Right. So, you know, when we're stealing and eating this shit or playing with this shit, we got to do it in the closet where she can't see it. Because, you know, she looked up as a fucking snicker rapper. I ain't bought no goddamn snickles. How the fuck that are getting him? Man, she opened that closet, man, we got toys, you know, the, like, we can't throw the shit away. We can't get rid of it.

Right. She's going to see it. We ain't a nine. We don't take trash out. Man, she opened that door, seeing all that shit, we had stowed. Man, we must have to be in our life. Either way, I learned from those kind of instances how to keep my shit on the tuck.

So, you know, it was time, me and my brother was, like, we both were to probably skip school. And she caught him. She called him, because this niggas at hotels, swimming, you know, during the day. Fuck what you doing. That's the kind of shit he was doing. Like, they caught this nigga at the hotel, like, it's fucking noon on the school day.

He's just swinging. Right. And the hotel. You ain't booked no room or nothing. You were a bunch of y'all niggas in their food. They didn't get that shit out of time. But that's what I'm saying. So when, you know, that kind of shit showed me like, you know, I was skipping the same day.

I skipped and went home. I'm chilling at the house. This nigga skipped and went fucking swimming in the public fucking place. You know, shit like that taught me how to keep my shit on the took. So when it came to, you know, the other shit, that shit was second-n-night shit. I know how they, they thought he was selling on, though. He was selling all the dope. He was smoking all of love.

I had to, like, hide the shit from him because he was running through that shit. And, you know, since I don't smoke, I don't like, you know, I can't eyeball what you got on that tray. Man, the scale is my best friend. So, you know, even from that, I learned how to keep my shit, like, disclosed. And all that shit kind of helped when it came to the music shit

the same way. When I really started making some money, I looked at the same way. I ain't got a flash for you. Who the fuck are you? In real time, you just a nigga, I'm going to have to worry about you. I was trying to rob me because I got something. When I first signed, they were trying to get me a Lamborghini.

And I was scared I'm going to pull a Lamborghini up in East Memphis, man. You don't get me killed. Right. I'm like, man, I can't park. Man, I'm going to have no garage. You had a steep fucking driveway. Just pulling that bitch in, I would have towed the whole front end of that bitch off. Right.

So I would have had to, right, who's going to fix that shit? Right. So I had to park. I would have had the pocket on the street by the mailbox. That means everybody comes. It's going to be people driving down, turning. Oh, shit, you see that lavagina? That one, I'm glad.

I was ready, I was ready because even by my parents being tight to this day. Even though I can get it, I'm like, I don't really need that, motherfucker. Food what? Yeah, brother. I don't want nothing I got a killer, a nigga, over. I got my old school car, the new school car. I can dig it. You'd be playing with them, motherfuckers.

You know, Trit. D.C. coming soon. Indeed. All you got to do is make sure the song you send me got an open verse this time. Great part about I sent him something that didn't even have an open bird. No, I ain't. What are you supposed to do with? I ain't know. I ain't know, nigga.

DJ Call at that bitch. I ain't even know. I ain't even know. When he sent him back, I felt so hurting, he was like, it ain't need an open verse. I'm like, tell him. What are you? What are you doing? What are you do?

With a br-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-h-h-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha Hey, ladies, if y'all feel in that one You know, no, I got him something, though, as well Open first did tap Yeah, no, yeah, that need to have it. I'm with it, man I'll fuck with you because you fuck with me, man That shit, man, that shit main everything, too.

It's a first time stepping through the trap. Don't let it be the last time. You know what we at. I fuck with you guys. Eventually, if you do put the project together, whatever the fuck, come back. I'm with it. Let's promote that motherfucker. I'm definitely with it.

Drop your social media so they can find you and find you. All my shit is at Mr. Dunn's Trip, M-R-D-O-N-T-R-I-P. I'm on TikTok, but I don't quite know that one. I'm hoping this Mr. Dunn-Trip as well. I'll always be forgetting. We got you some sauce in him, man. A-D-D-A-R-A-R-A-N-A-N-A-N-W-Swad. I can dig it.

Shout out to the whole Memphis. All right, dude, man. Shout out to Memphis. Shout out to Atlanta. And shout out everywhere that the truest bank is. Mm-hmm. D.C. You gotta put the Don Tripp collab together.

Oh, we're coming. All right, D. It's coming smooth. You, uh, man, I rock a little different. I don't do, but do nothing for free, of course. But, like, I don't know. I don't know how I could say. Like, you know, it's some mutual respect.

It's that, and for you, you know, I would extend to you the same luxury as an artist I grew up listening to. To me, they all, oh, geez. Whether they had short careers or, you know, megastars or whatever the fuck. So with that shit, there ain't no limit on it. Ain't no time limit.

And ain't no, you can sit in four records. I might not do all four records in the same night. But, you know, shit, if it's four records, I'm with it. You know, shit, that's, that kind of shit don't matter to me. You know, for me, it's more about the relationship than the record, so to speak. I got niggins that don't really rap. They rap because they're trying to get out of the trap. And since they, you know, who?

Me? I'm so sick and selling me off on the side. That's what I'm saying, you know, for those guys, you know, I don't hit them with no tats. I understand what you're trying to do. And I also understand that, you know, the music that they make it. They ain't going to get them where they think is going to get them yet. But, you know, I understand, you know, where they're coming from, where they're trying to go with.

So the same thing here. Like I said, you know, you ain't got no limit. We can do a record tonight and do a record tomorrow. Do a record two weeks from now. I ain't going to sit and say, damn, stop sending me, shit, Craig. I appreciate it, man. It's the crazy part about you said, like you said, let it to my son.

You know. Yeah. I'm 30-1, so, I was 16, 17, growing up all this shit, and what gravitated, like I said, with gravitated media,

was I was like, this niggas rapping, he's a hustler like me, and you ain't following no goddamn body. He is, oh, man. Damn, they rap better than all these niggas. I appreciate it. And if I could have seen this 16 years ago,

I'm watching you, and he's like, hey, young, You know I fuck with you, if you ever want to send me something. Nick, I'm proud of it with a... You threw my weed in the... Nick, blah this shit, nigga. Oh, that shit's going.

That song was that old. My son was almost one when that shit came out, so I used to just hold him like this. I'm like, yeah, Daddy got you. Indeed. Yeah. Yeah, that shit, that's my... You know, like I said, that's like my...

It's a growing reward because my son's 14 now. And he, you know, in the ninth grade. So, he's coming out of shit, becoming, you know, like I said earlier, you know, you can't really predict this shit, you can't prepare for it. And now, you know what I'm in a minute. She's got a teenager that's about to be, you know, an adult in a minute. And it's a whole other world. Used to be just straight, you know, video games.

You still going on. Right, right. Exactly. But I feel like that's because I'm still growing in real life. And since the easiest thing for me to do, like I realized rap itself was my gaming, I can take my real life and make it rhyme. Not many people can do that. So, you know, as we keep going,

when we turn on music, I ain't sitting trying to think of what's some catchy shit to say, I don't care. And, you know, you can take the lines that you would consider to be punch lines, and they're talking about my real life. I just turn my real life into a punch line.

And, you know, as long as I can do that shit, like I said, long as I can keep having fun doing this shit, I'm going to keep going. You was always one of my favorite around. That's exactly what we're talking about. South show. God's up.

We take a picture. Out of it. That good shit, bro. This a nigga here. Then went to court about them, though. He's sticking them on a neighbor to shit. I follow that dick all the way home. I knew I wanted to obey and submit, but I didn't fully grasp for the rest of my life what that meant.
