Starting point is 00:02:55 Why would you say staying out of the way, though? I mean, you got a lot of fans that don't want you to stay out of the way. I got a lot of fans. You feel me? But, like, you got to think, like, Black just said, like, nigga came out so hot, started staying out the way. Man, I made a lot of that money fast, bro. You feel me? I make a lot of that money fast.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Ego got in my way. You feel me? So sometimes, like, now I have to just step back from self and absorb self. And, like, nigga, you tripping. And no rule book come with that money, basically. Yeah, exactly. There's no rule book come with that money. You ain't know how to take all the shit that come with that shit.
Starting point is 00:03:25 Yeah, then like, you feel me, it went like, then it got like a hundred thousand to five hundred thousand. Went from broke to like a million fast. Billions, yeah. So it's like, you feel me, that shit'll fuck with your mental. You know what I mean? Yeah, I understand that. That shit'll fuck with your mental.
Starting point is 00:03:36 Like, you feel me, especially coming from nothing, and you think you want everything, then you buy everything, yeah, it's stuck. Like, what I'ma do next? You feel me? So it was just like one of them me moments where I just had to step back from myself and just like, let shit fizzle out a little bit
Starting point is 00:03:48 and just find out what's my purpose for being here. Is there anything you would have did different? No. Yeah, of course. If a nigga say,
Starting point is 00:03:55 nah, he lying, of course I would have did different. Maybe a couple moments where you was like, man, I might have did this like this. No, it's just like,
Starting point is 00:04:02 man, one thing I always say what I would have did, to be honest, I didn't even read my paperwork. I just signed it. You see what I'm saying? Nigga been broke. Shit. The TIG, that fly, he got a check.
Starting point is 00:04:11 I know he ain't finna try me. They want my mind, telling myself. Okay. You feel me? Not saying I signed a bad contract, but, like, shit, at the end of the day, that's why we end up doing what we had to do, because, like, the contract went, like, that shit wasn't right. So that's why, like, it feel like your shit just slowed down
Starting point is 00:04:26 or came to a stop because you feel like you was in feud with your label? Oh, yeah, I was. We was going through litigation. So at the time, we trying to see what we going to do with songs. And shit, I hadn't been paid for the other songs I put out. So you got to think in my mind, I'm like, shit, I haven't even been compensated for the good music I done did. Why the hell I'm going to drop some more shit
Starting point is 00:04:42 if my money ain't even right by this? So let me get my business right so when I do drop some more shit, I know I'll be paid the right way. You feel me? So that's really what it was. What would you say to people about the signed contracts
Starting point is 00:04:52 like some of the young ones and the artists and all that shit because that's a common thing. Yeah, I can't really say what to say only because like, that shit worked for me. You know what I'm saying? Like, I was doing work for me.
