- I was inspired musically by life events.
Ya know what I'm saying?
And the life that I wanted to have,
ya know what I'm saying?
As far as nice things and stuff like that.
The path that it took to get that,
that's where I get my inspiration from.
Not really from no rappers. Ya know what I'm saying?
Like real life stuff that go on.
That's why I feel like people feel me,
'cause they feel the energy is authentic.
Ya know what I'm saying?
Like, it's good, it's bad, it's ugly.
Ya know what I'm saying? It's happy. It's sad.
The only thing it ain't is envious, and hating,
and you know what I'm saying?
That's the only thing my vibe ain't.
But, all the real shit that's what my vibe is.
Process of making Capitol 1 it wasn't no different.
It wasn't no different of how I do all my other stuff.
Just cut the beat on.
If I like the beat, then I'm just gone go get it done.
So, Capital 1 was just like every other song.
I think I had got that beat from South Side.
I think he had came in the studio
and he had brought me like three or four beats
and all of 'em was hard.
He had played like three or four
and he was telling me like
you gotta get on this one,
get on this one, get on this one.
I did all of 'em like that.
In like an hour or two. I did all of 'em
and they was all bangers.
And I think I got two of 'em on my tape.
And they was both same type of process,
just hearing the beat
and just, ya know what I'm saying, and going.
This worth 100 and something right here.
This like 65 by itself.
And then you add the icing on top of the cake.
That's 100.
This like 75 right here.
This charm a Cuban.
And this right here is like
110 or something together.
Really, I should have said 200 on my neck
and 100 on my wrist.
When you toxic I feel like
you like set up.
So you expecting 'em to react a certain way
so you know to do something.
I feel like that take too much energy.
So I'm just gon' tell you what it is.
I don't see how that could be toxic,
but people say, they might say it is.
Like if I'm telling you it ain't gone be nothing,
this is just what it is we gone do this.
How is that toxic?
Like, if you agreed and you did it
and then you feel played after
or you feel like it's supposed to be more.
But I already told you
that this is what it was though.
"Spun" that's like,
we had a good basketball run at the court,
like two, three, four, five, six, seven games.
I spin it. Ya know what I'm sayin'?
You just keep on running them games back, to back, to back.
Ya feel me?
And then so, we just pulled over at Donnie's
just to get some, you know what I'm saying,
re hydration.
It might be just a little thing.
You go into the gas station and get a Roxy.
Pop the Roxy get the breath smelling good,
ya know what I'm saying?
Like an Altoids type of thing.
And when you bump into the girl,
you wanna make sure ya breath on point.
So you pop that Roxy.
Bam. You good. You know what I'm saying?
Fresh.
Slimey is kinda like, I'm always willing to help.
Ya know what I'm saying?
If I slime you, I'm always gone try to put you
in a better position.
Ya feel me?
I'm trying to help you,
so the city know I'm always trying
to look out for people and make sure they straight.
I don't do it for recognition.
So I don't really like to, you know what I'm saying,
I ain't one of them people to do something for somebody
and then just be bragging about it.
So, ya know what I'm saying?
Like, if we have a personal conversation
and you tell me what you need,
if it's little Ima try to get it done for you.
I got a basketball team. Young Shiners.
That's what I'm rockin' with.
You can't not see a shiner.
And that person might not have no jewelry on.
They might not have the flash in 'em.
But it's some about 'em when they coming through,
It's like everybody know they there.
Everybody can see them. Ya know what I'm saying?
You a shiner. Ya know what I'm saying?
You can't be ignored.
I just had some partners out there.
Used to see me retro ten dollar bills.
That's what I meant, like, mailing tens.
I collect old money.
So whenever they run into some old money
they'll mail it to me.
Capital One, is that commercial.
It's Capital One's little slogan "Whats in your wallet."
So I say big gee. When I got my gee pendant.
You see my gee pendant. It's a capital letter.
You know what I'm saying.
Not no lower-case G.
It's the big one,
so I say big gee, the capital one.
Ya know what I'm saying?
And then when I ask you what's in your wallet,
I told you what was in mine.
I had 30, 40 all blues in my pocket.
Why would you wanna be a coward?
Nobody wanna be no coward, do they?
Hell naw.
That's the answer as simple as that.
Na, don't nobody wanna be no coward.
Ya know what I'm saying?
We raised a whole lotta things.
We raised a crazy person, lunatic, a robber,
a basketball player, an engineer, a mathematician.
Ya know what I'm saying?
But, not no coward.
Not no tuck ya tail,
not stand up type of man.
I meant like the dance. Like get down on it.
I ain't mean no tough stuff.
I was meaning we gone dance battle.
We gone settle it out the music way.
Everybody wanna get money
and then you realize money ain't everything.
Ya got to have that respect.
If they don't respect you,
then the money don't mean nothing.
And then the power just change people life.
Make the decisions
that could make somebody else get money.
Ya know what I'm saying?
That's what everybody ultimately want.
If you a genuine person
you should want the power
to be able to change people around you life.
It's like Call of Duty.
I be playing the game a lot.
My opponents in the game,
every time they respond
they join people in the game.
So, it's like never-ending.
They might switch they whole team up online.
And act like they ain't just lose to ya.
Playing somebody you know, I just beat you.
And then they try to switch they squad up.
Change they name and now they brand new.
You know what I'm saying?
You crazy?
You see, I was rapping
doing a lotta features and stuff.
Ya know what I'm saying?
So, I had buckled in. I had came up with a deal
where I was doing like 1,000 dollars.
Ya know what I'm saying>
And it just added up
when I first started rapping.
So I did pretty good.
I ain't looking for no mentor
or nothing like that.
No nigga, I'm straight. I don't need that.
So we just be kicking it.
That's just my partner.
He like my music
so he want me to be focused on music.
Course I wanna be around people like that.
See me win. They know what it takes.
You gotta stay around people
who been where you trying to go.
I'm the only rapper
that got emeralds on the side of they shit too.
I might be the only person.
You ain't seen nobody bust down they sides
with the big emeralds.
It's pointless. People can't see the sides.
But I know it's there.
