It's just about the family, the brotherhood, feel me?
That's what it's really about, it's how we live,
like what we into, what we do.
The lifestyle that more or less,
some just got dragged into, when others chose it.
On either sides of this spectrum, you feel me?
It's still always all love.
So, I was just talking about my Rollers, you know,
shout out my neighbors, hood.
My doggie YJ, he threw in a beat, you understand me?
And I aint really, I wasn't feeling it at first,
but I liked the,
"Always get caught in the rain."
He was pushing me through it like, "Yo, just finish."
Just punching in, just kept punching in
kept punching in.
At that time I aint know format, so I aint know,
I aint know you needed a hook
and then you needed two verses,
I aint know all that shit, feel me?
So, I was really just going, just keep talking my shit.
Talking about shit that either, you know,
I done experienced, shit I done seen,
so, it was just, I just took it from there, basically.
My mental, before getting incarcerated and even after,
being fresh home, it was like, I don't care to go back.
You play with me, you play around with anything
that got to do with me, feel me?
I'm willing to take those risks so,
when I realized I could make bread off of this right here
it came to me like, feel me, it's a safer route,
for me and mines, why not do it?
I'm trying to make it out. On hood.
Seeing what the cous' did, Pop, feel me?
Rest in peace.
We was more or less raised together,
as young kids going to the same schools,
coming by the crib, doing all of that.
In terms of getting older, we separated.
As I said, in the song you could see,
"Won't do this shit for clout,"
I see a lot of people talking about the cous',
bringing up the cous' name.
You ain't never was around, you feel me?
That's all false shit you tryna make it seem like
so that social media could think y'all was cool,
but I was never into that.
I wasn't really into somebody who would try to do it
for any other reason but love,
any other thing but being genuine.
Canarsie, Brooklyn.
This right here all of this is Flossy.
It's a lifestyle you become accustomed to
and some adjust, some don't. You know, I'm well adjusted,
so, yeah, Flossy. Woo.
I done seen a lot of people try to
match up to me, or even be somebody that they not,
but it's like when it come down to it, you chosen,
people is chosen I feel like.
And being chosen to me is really just about
finding what you're good at and put your all in it.
That's all it really is,
so when I found what I was good at, I put my all in it.
So you could try and step on my shoes, but it's like
you can't really do what I do, on hood.
I'm heavy on the champagne, rosé,
Belaire, all that fun shit.
Clicquot, Ace of Spades, I'm a champagne nigga, feel me?
So, all my fellows sip champagne for the damn pain,
you heard?
I don't really drink hard liquor.
I drink hard liquor I start tweaking, feel me?
I start buggin' out all types of shit so I like,
I'll just sip more bubbly, on hood.
I didn't see it as like, alright I got a lot to lose.
I was just seeing it as I'm willing to do whatever,
I don't care right now, feel me?
But when I started realizing how much I had to lose
I wasn't just thinking about myself,
I'm thinking about the people around me.
'Cause I done put in a situation where I could,
I could offer them more to
than what life is giving them right now.
So it was like, in a way I got a lot to lose,
but if you play with anything that got to do with me,
yeah, I got something, you feel me?
I can empty the whole clip.
Before any of this, before the jewels,
before the bread, anything, I had haters.
Before any of the breesh I even touch,
I had people telling me I was switching.
Like so many done said before, it's like,
it's based off who you place yourself around.
If you're around five and three of them is dumb,
you the average. You stupid ass shit, that's how I see it.
It aint no way around it, no half stepping it,
so I try to place myself around people with the same agenda,
same goals, same mindset.
Alexander McQueen was the first pair of foreigns I got
when I touched back down to the hood.
That's why I brought those up,
but I could also throw in them Diors, you know?
Like it ain't really nothing to me
and then, the whole Supreme idea was when I was younger,
I was, you know you're little,
you looking at what, you trying to figure out your style.
I used to throw in a little Supreme on, but,
I'm way past that now.
I need the designer, I need the nicest clothes.
I need everything, feel me?
Biggest jewelry, all the iciest,
everything I could get, I need it,
that's how I see it.
My whole thing about not being a rapper,
initially was 'cause I feel like niggas be politicking,
on shit they aint never really do
or they never really was into,
or they aint risk their life for.
When I think of what I'm doing,
I'm risking my life for it every day.
I'm standing, I stand on it, what I say, I stand on.
And that's all that is.
That's my weakness, just putting it out there for everybody.
Those is my weakness, you understand me?
But you know my Jamaicans, ass fat.
Heard that bad bitch was Jamaican so it's like.
I got, I don't really got a preference but,
them two right there, feel me?
I don't bite cheese. I ain't no rat, feel me?
So I stay away from that, feel me?
Y'all know I'm from the Clocc, 5th Clocc.
Pull up with extensions.
The thing about it was,
I've been knew I was capable of doing it.
I had people around me telling me everyday like,
"Yo, you got the looks, you got the sound,
you got the aura about you,"
but it was for me to see it for myself,
so it was like, it's all in front of me,
but when I'm ready to go and reach for that,
I'ma take it and it's all mine, simple.
Rolando is not a person,
Rolando is just another term for my neighbors, you feel me?
So that's what that's about, shout out all my Rollers.
N.H.C. Y'all know that shit, woo.
Growing up, anybody who you know is hustling
trying to get to a bag like Jay-Z, Biggie, Tupac,
all of them hustlers you know, same as me.
I gravitate to them automatically
just off the strength that.
